2.12.3 Autoacquisition Mode
To ease the usage of phase 1, the NCO can use an automatic frequency
acquisition. Enable regulation of the NCO_LOOP_ENABLE (bit 5) and
set the AUTO_ACQUI bit (bit 3) in the NCO control register. Figure 2.23
outlines the parameter usage during automatic frequency acquisition.
