Overview
The ANFNPLL0100 is a fractional-N frequency synthesizer that can be used to implement local oscillator (LO) in the low power, low data rate, wireless applications such as ZigBee, Bluetooth Low Energy (LE). The frequency synthesizer consists of low noise phase frequency detector (PFD), a precision
charge pump, an internal loop filter, and dual band voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The frequency synthesizer has 5-bit programmable divider
supporting integer multiplication up to 63, and 3rd order sigma-delta modulator supporting 20-bit fractional resolution.

System Verilog Assertions (SVA) integrate well with UVM testbenches and make verification easier and more accurate. Steps can be taken to reduce coding overhead and allow for greater flexibility for reuse. While not all requirements are ideal for assertions, this paper aims to explain that, when used correctly, SVA can save time and increase design accuracy.
