When setting a specified output frequency, the VCO calibration procedure must be run in order to select the best sub-range for the VCO covering the desired frequency. Once programmed at the initial temperature T0 inside the operating temperature range (-40 C to +85 C), the synthesizer is able to maintain the lock status only if the temperature drift (in either direction) is within the limit specified by TLK, provided that the final temperature T1 is still inside the nominal range. If higher T are required the "VCO calibration auto-restart" feature can be enabled, thus allowing to re-start the VCO calibration procedure automatically when the part loose the lock condition (trigger on lock detector signal). 7.

The STW81103 consists of two internal low-noise VCOs with buffer blocks, a divider by 2, a divider by 4, a low-noise PFD (phase frequency detector), a precise charge pump, a 10-bit programmable reference divider, two programmable counters and a programmable dualmodulus prescaler. The 5-bit A-counter and 12-bit B-counter, in conjunction with the dualmodulus prescaler P/P+1 (16/17 or 19/20), implement an N integer divider, where N = B*P +A. The division ratio of both reference and VCO dividers is controlled through the selected digital interface (I2C bus or SPI). The digital interface type is selected through the proper hardware connection of pin DBUS_SEL (0 V for I2C bus, 3.3 V for SPI). All devices operate with a power supply of 3.3 V, and can be powered down when not in use. 18/53 STW81103 Circuit description 5 Circuit description 5.1 Reference input stage The reference input stage is shown in Figure 15. The resistor network feeds a DC bias at the Fref input, while the inverter used as the frequency reference buffer is AC coupled. Figure 15. Reference frequency input buffer VDD F ref INV BUF Power Down 5.2 Reference divider The 10-bit programmable reference counter allows division of the input reference frequency to produce the input clock to the PFD. The division ratio is programmed through the digital interface. 5.3 Prescaler The dual-modulus prescaler P/P+1 takes the CML clock from the VCO buffer and divides it down to a manageable frequency for the CMOS A and B counters. The modulus P is programmable and can be set to 16 or 19. The prescaler is based on a synchronous 4/5 core whose division ratio depends on the state of the modulus input. 19/53 Circuit description 5.4 STW81103 A and B counters The 5-bit A-counter and 12-bit B-counter, in conjunction with the selected dual modulus (16/17 or 19/20) prescaler, allow the generation of output frequencies that are spaced only by the reference frequency divided by the reference division ratio. The division ratio and the VCO output frequency are given by the following formulas: N=BxP+A (B x P + A) F VCO = ------------------------------ x F ref R where FVCO: output frequency of VCO P: modulus of dual modulus prescaler (16 or 19 selected through the digital interface) B: division ratio of the main counter A: division ratio of the swallow counter Fref: input reference frequency R: division ratio of the reference counter N: division ratio of the PLL For the VCO divider to work correctly, B absolutely must be greater than A, which can take any value ranging from 0 to 31. The value range of N is either from 256 to 65551 (if P=16) or from 361 to 77836 (P=19). Figure 16.

The PFD includes a delay gate that controls the width of the anti-backlash pulse. This pulse ensures that there is no dead zone in the PFD transfer function. Figure 17 is a simplified schematic of the PFD. Figure 17. PFD diagram VDD Up D FF Fref R Delay R Fref VDD D FF Down ABL 5.6 Lock detect This signal indicates that the difference between rising edges of both UP and DOWN PFD signals is found to be shorter than the fixed delay (roughly 5 ns). The Lock Detect signal is high when the PLL is locked and low when the PLL is unlocked. Lock Detect consumes current only during PLL transients. 5.7 Charge pump This block drives two matched current sources, IUP and IDOWN, which are controlled respectively by UP and DOWN PFD outputs. The nominal value of the output current is controlled by an external resistor (connected to the REXT input pin) and a 3-bit word that allows selection among 8 different values. The minimum value of the output current is: IMIN = 2*VBG/REXT (VBG~1.17 V) 21/53 Circuit description STW81103 Table 7.

These frequency ranges are intended to cover the wide band of operation and compensate for process variation on the VCO center frequency. The range is automatically selected when the SERCAL bit is set to 1. The charge pump is inhibited, and the ICP and VCTRL pins are at VDD/2 volts. The ranges are then tested with this VCO input voltage to select the one nearest to the desired output frequency (FOUT = N*Fref/R). After this selection, the SERCAL bit is automatically reset to 0 and the charge pump is once again enabled. To enable a fast settle, the PLL needs only to perform fine adjustments around VDD/2 on the loop filter to reach FOUT. Figure 19. VCO sub-bands frequency characteristics 23/53 Circuit description STW81103 The SERCAL bit should be set to "1" at each division ratio change. The VCO calibration procedure takes approximately 7 periods of the PFD frequency. The maximum allowed FPFD to perform the calibration process is 1 MHz. When using a higher FPFD, follow the steps below: 1. Calibrate the VCO at the desired frequency with an FPFD less than 1 MHz. 2. Set the ratio of the A, B and R dividers for the desired FPFD. VCO calibration auto-restart feature The VCO calibration auto-restart feature, once activated, allows to restart the calibration procedure when the lock detector reports that the PLL has moved to an unlock condition (trigger on `1' to `0' transition of lock detector signal). This situation could happen if the device experiences a significant temperature variation. Once programmed at the initial temperature T0 inside the operating temperature range (-40 C to +85 C), the synthesizer is able to maintain the lock status only if the temperature drift (in either direction) is within the limit specified by the TLK parameter, provided that the final temperature T1 is still inside the nominal range. Each VCO featured by STW81103 has its specific TLK parameter reported in Table 5, that is typically lower than the maximum allowable drift (TMAX=125; from -40 C to +85 C and vice versa). By enabling the VCO calibration auto-restart feature (through the CAL_AUTOSTART_EN bit), the part will be able to select again the proper VCO frequency sub-range if the temperature drift exceeds the TLK limit, without any external user command. 5.8.3 VCO voltage amplitude control The voltage swing of the VCOs can be adjusted over four levels by means of two dedicated programming bits (PLL_A1 and PLL_A0). Higher amplitudes provide best phase noise, whereas lower amplitudes save power. Table 8 gives the voltage swing level expected on the resonator nodes, the current consumption, and the phase noise at 1 MHz. Table 8. 24/53 VCO A performances versus amplitude setting (Freq = 2.8 GHz) PLL_A[1:0] Differential voltage swing (Vp) Current consumption (mA) PN @1 MHz (dBc/Hz) 00 1.1 16 -126 01 1.3 19 -127 10 1.9 27 -130 11 2.1 30 -131 STW81103 Circuit description Table 9. 5.9 VCO B performances vs. amplitude setting (Freq = 4.7 GHz) PLL_A[1:0] Differential voltage swing (Vp) Current consumption (mA) PN at 1 MHz (dBc/Hz) 00 1.1 13 -121 01 1.3 15 -122 10 1.9 22 -126 11 2.1 24 -127 Output stage The differential output signal of the synthesizer can be selected by software among three different signal paths (direct, divider by 2 and divider by 4) providing multi-band capability. The selection of the output stage is done by programming properly the PD[4:0] bits. The output stage is an open-collector structure which is able to meet different requirements over the desired output frequency range by proper connections on the PCB. Refer to Section 8: Application information for more details on PCB connections. 5.9.1 Output buffer control mode This control mode allows to enable/disable the output stage by a hardware control pin (EXT_PD, pin#23) while the PLL stays locked at the desired frequency; in such a way a very fast switching time is achieved. This feature can be useful in designing a ping-pong architecture saving the cost of an external RF switch. The function of pin#23 (EXT_PD) is set with the OUTBUF_CTRL_EN bit as shown in Table 10. Table 10.

The external VCO buffer is able to manage a signal coming from an external VCO in order to build a synthesizer using the STW81103 only as PLL IC. The output signal of the synthesizer can also be taken from the output section of the STW81103 (direct, divided by 2 or divided by 4 by) by properly setting the PD[4:0] bits, thus providing additional flexibility. The external VCO signal can range from 625 MHz up to 5 GHz and its minimum power level must be -10 dBm. 26/53 I2C bus interface STW81103 6 I2C bus interface The I2C bus interface is selected by hardware connection of pin #21 (DBUS_SEL) to 0 V. Data is transmitted from microprocessor to the STW81103 through the 2-wire (SDA and SCL) I2C bus interface. The STW81103 is always a slave device. The I2C bus protocol defines any device that sends data on the bus as a transmitter, and any device that reads the data as a receiver. The device controlling the data transfer is the master, and the others are slaves. The master always initiates the transfer and provides the serial clock for synchronization. The STW81103 I2C bus supports Fast Mode operation (clock frequency up to 1MHz). 6.1 General features 6.1.1 Data validity Data changes on the SDA line must only occur when the SCL is low. SDA transitions while the clock is high are used to identify a START or STOP condition. Figure 20. Data validity SDA SCL Data line Stable data Valid 6.1.2 Change data allowed START and STOP conditions START condition A START condition is identified by a transition of the data bus SDA from high to low while the clock signal SCL is stable in the high state. A START condition must precede any data transfer command. STOP condition A STOP condition is identified by a transition of the data bus SDA from low to high while the clock signal SCL is stable in the high state. A STOP condition terminates communications between the STW81103 and the bus master. 27/53 I2C bus interface STW81103 Figure 21. START and STOP conditions SCL SDA START 6.1.3 STOP Byte format and acknowledge Every byte put on the SDA line must be 8 bits long, starting with the most significant bit (MSB), and be followed by an acknowledge bit to indicate a successful data transfer. The transmitter releases the SDA line after sending 8 bits of data. During the 9th clock pulse, the receiver pulls the SDA line low to acknowledge the receipt of 8 bits of data. Figure 22. Byte format and acknowledge SCL 1 2 3 7 8 9 // SDA MSB // START 6.1.4 Acknowledgement from receiver Device addressing The master must first initiate with a START condition to communicate with the STW81103, and then send 8 bits (MSB first) on the SDA line which correspond to the device select address and the read or write mode. The first seven MSBs are the device address identifier, which corresponds to the I2C bus definition. For the STW81103, the address is set at "1100A2A1A0", 3 bits programmable. The 8th bit (LSB) is the read or write (RW) operation bit, which is set to 1 in read mode and to 0 in write mode. Following a START condition, the STW81103 identifies the device address on the bus and, if matched, acknowledges the identification on the SDA bus during the 9th clock pulse. 28/53 I2C bus interface STW81103 6.1.5 Single-byte write mode Following a START condition, the master sends a device select code with the RW bit set to 0. The STW81103 sends an acknowledge and waits for the 1-byte internal sub-address that provides access to the internal registers. After receiving the sub-address internal byte, the STW81103 again responds with an acknowledge. A single-byte write to sub-address 00H changes the FUNCTIONAL_MODE register, a single-byte write with sub-address 04H changes the CONTROL register, and so on. Table 11. S 6.1.6 Single-byte write mode 1100A2A1A0 0 ack sub-address byte ack DATA IN ack P Multi-byte write mode The multi-byte write mode can start from any internal address. The master sends the data bytes, and each one is acknowledged. The master terminates the transfer by generating a STOP condition. The sub-address decides the starting byte. For example, a multi-byte with sub-address 01H and 2 DATA_IN bytes changes the B_COUNTER and A_COUNTER registers (01H,02H), and a multi-byte with sub-address 00H and 6 DATA_IN bytes changes all the STW81103 registers. Table 12. S 6.1.7 Multi-byte write mode 1100A2A1A0 0 ack sub-address byte ack DATA IN ack ....... DATA IN ack P Current byte address read mode In the current byte address read mode, following a START condition, the master sends the device address with the RW bit set to 1. Note that no sub-address is needed since there is only one read register. The STW81103 acknowledges this and outputs the data byte. The master does not acknowledge the received byte, and terminates the transfer with a STOP condition. Table 13.

Consequently the part starts in power down mode. 34/53 I2C bus interface STW81103 6.4 VCO calibration procedure Calibration of the VCO center frequency is activated when the SERCAL bit (CALIBRATION register bit[6]) is set to 1. To program the device properly while ensuring VCO calibration, perform the following steps before every channel change: 1. Program all the registers using a multi-byte write sequence with the desired settings (functional mode, B and A counters, R counter, VCO amplitude, charge pump, prescaler modulus), and all the bits of the CALIBRATION register (05H) set to 0. 2. Program the CALIBRATION register using a single-byte write sequence (subaddress 05H) with the SERCAL bit set to 1. The maximum allowed PFD frequency (FPFD) during calibration is 1 MHz; if you want a FPFD higher than 1 MHz, perform the following additional steps: 6.4.1 Perform all the steps of the calibration procedure, making sure to program the desired VCO frequency with proper settings for the R, B and A counters so that FPFD is 1 MHz. Program the device with the desired VCO and PFD frequency settings according to step 1) above. VCO calibration auto-restart feature The VCO calibration auto-restart feature can be enabled in two steps: 1. set the desired frequency ensuring VCO calibration as described above (section 6.4) 2. program the FUNCTIONAL_MODE register (sub-address 00H) using a single-byte write sequence with the CAL_AUTOSTART_EN bit set to '1' while keeping unchanged the others. 35/53 SPI digital interface STW81103 7 SPI digital interface 7.1 General features The SPI digital interface is selected by hardware connection of pin #21 (DBUS_SEL) to 3.3 V. The STW81103 IC is programmed by means of a high-speed serial-to-parallel interface with write option only. The 3-wire bus can be clocked at a frequency as high as 100 MHz to allow fast programming of the registers containing the data for RF IC configuration. The chip is programmed through serial words with a full length of 26 bits. The first 2 MSBs represent the address of the registers, and the 24 LSBs represent the value of the registers. Each data bit is stored in the internal shift register on the rising edge of the CLOCK signal. The outputs of the selected register are sent to the device on the rising edge of the LOAD signal.

To program the device properly while ensuring VCO calibration, perform the following steps before every channel change: 1. Program the ST2 register with the desired settings (functional mode, B and A counters). 2. Program the ST1 register with the desired settings (R counter, VCO amplitude, charge pump, prescaler modulus) and with the SERCAL bit set to 1.

STW81103 8 Application information Application information The STW81103 features three different alternately selectable bands: direct output (2.5 to 3.05 GHz and 4.35 to 5.0 GHz), divided by 2 (1.25 to 1.525 GHz and 2.175 to 2.5 GHz) and divided by 4 (625 to 762.5 MHz and 1087.5 to 1250 MHz). To achieve a suitable power level, a good matching network is necessary to adapt the output stage to a 50 load. Moreover, since most commercial RF components have single-ended input and output terminations, a differential to single-ended conversion may be required. The different matching configurations shown below for each of the three bands are suggested as a guideline when designing your own application board. Inside the evaluation kit is the ADS design for each matching configuration suggested in this chapter. The name of the corresponding ADS design is given in each figure. The ADS designs provide only a first indication of the output stage matching, and should be reworked according to the choices of layout, board substrate, components and so on. The ADS designs of the evaluation boards are provided with a complete electromagnetic modelling (board, components, and so on). 8.1 Direct output If you do not need a differential to single conversion, you can match the output buffer of the STW81103 in the simple way shown in Figure 28. This illustrates the differential to singleended output network in the 2.5 - 5.0 GHz range (MATCH_LC_LUMP_4G_DIFF.dsn). Figure 28. Differential/single-ended output network (MATCH_LC_LUMP_4G_DIFF.dsn) Vcc 100 ohm 5.5nH 50 ohm 10pF RF OUTP 10pF RF OUTN 100 ohm 5.5nH 50 ohm Vcc Since most discrete components for microwave applications are single-ended, you can easily use one of the two outputs and terminate the other one to 50 with a 3 dB power loss. 41/53 Application information STW81103 Alternatively, you can combine the two outputs in other ways. A first topology for the direct output (2.5 to 5.0 GHz) is suggested in Figure 29. It basically consists of a simple LC balun and a matching network to adapt the output to a 50 load. The two LC networks shift output signal phase of -90 and +90, thus combining the two outputs. This topology, designed for a center frequency of 4 GHz, is intrinsically narrow-band since the LC balun is tuned at a single frequency. If the application requires a different sub-band, the LC combiner can be easily tuned to the frequency of interest. Figure 29. LC lumped balun and matching network (MATCH_LC_LUMP_4G.dsn) Vcc 50 ohm 1.9nH 0.8pF 1.9nH RF OUTP 0.8pF 1.9nH 2.5pF 50 ohm RF OUTN 0.8pF 50 ohm 1.9nH 0.8pF Vcc The 1.9 nH shunt inductor works as a DC feed for one of the open collector terminals as well as a matching element along with the other components. The 1.9 nH series inductors are used to resonate the parasitic capacitance of the chip. For optimum output matching, it is recommended to use 0402 Murata or AVX capacitors and 0403 or 0604 HQ Coilcraft inductors. It is also advisable to use short interconnection paths to minimize losses and undesired impedance shift. An alternative topology that permits a more broadband matching as well as balanced to unbalanced conversion, is shown in Figure 30. 42/53 STW81103 Application information Figure 30. Evaluation board (EVB4G) matching network (MATCH_EVB4G.dsn) Vcc 50 ohm 5.5nH 12pF 12pF RF 4.7pF OUTP 2:1 12pF 1pF RF 1pF 1.2pF 1.2pF 50 ohm OUTN 50 ohm 5.5nH Vcc For differential to single conversion, the 50 to 100 Johanson balun is recommended (3700BL15B100). 8.2 Divided by 2 output If your application does not require a balanced to unbalanced conversion, the output matching reduces to the simple circuit shown below (Figure 31), which illustrates a differential to single-ended output network in the 1.25 - 2.5 GHz range (MATCH_LC_LUMP_2G_DIFF.dsn). You can easily use this solution to provide one singleended output that terminates the other output at 50 with a 3 dB power loss. Figure 31.

Another topology suited to combining the two outputs for the divided by 2 frequencies is represented in Figure 33. Figure 33.

As for the previous sections, a solution to combine the differential outputs is the lumped LC type balun tuned in the 1 GHz band (Figure 34). Figure 34. LC lumped balun for divided by 4 output (MATCH_LC_LUMP_1G.dsn) Vcc 25 ohm 5.5nH 4pF 5.5nH RF OUTP 4pF 5.5nH 6pF 14nH 50 ohm RF OUTN 4pF 25 ohm 5.5nH 4pF Vcc If you prefer to use an RF balun, you can adapt the topology depicted in Figure 33, and change the balun and the matching components (Figure 35). The suggested balun for the 0.625 - 1.25 GHz frequency range is the 1:1 Johanson 900BL15C050. 45/53 Application information STW81103 Figure 35.
