RF PLL Frequency Synthesizers ADF4116/ADF4117/ADF4118 FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION ADF4116: 550 MHz ADF4117: 1.2 GHz ADF4118: 3.0 GHz 2.7 V to 5.5 V power supply Separate VP allows extended tuning voltage in 3 V systems Y Grade: -40C to +125C Dual-modulus prescaler ADF4116: 8/9 ADF4117/ADF4118: 32/33 3-wire serial interface Digital lock detect Power-down mode Fastlock mode The ADF411x family of frequency synthesizers can be used to implement local oscillators (LO) in the upconversion and downconversion sections of wireless receivers and transmitters. They consist of a low noise digital phase frequency detector (PFD), a precision charge pump, a programmable reference divider, programmable A and B counters, and a dual-modulus prescaler (P/P + 1). The A (5-bit) and B (13-bit) counters, in conjunction with the dual-modulus prescaler (P/P + 1), implement an N divider (N = BP + A). In addition, the 14-bit reference counter (R counter) allows selectable REFIN frequencies at the PFD input. A complete phase-locked loop (PLL) can be implemented if the synthesizer is used with an external loop filter and voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). APPLICATIONS All of the on-chip registers are controlled via a simple 3-wire interface. The devices operate with a power supply ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V and can be powered down when not in use.

Operating temperature range for the Y version is -40C to +125C. 3 This is the maximum operating frequency of the CMOS counters. 4 AC coupling ensures AVDD/2 bias. See Figure 35 for typical circuit. 5 Guaranteed by design. 6 TA = 25C; AVDD = DVDD = 3 V; RFIN for ADF4116 = 540 MHz; RFIN for ADF4117, ADF4118 = 900 MHz. 7 The synthesizer phase noise floor is estimated by measuring the in-band phase noise at the output of the VCO, PN TOT, and subtracting 20logN (where N is the N divider value) and 10logFPFD: PNSYNTH = PNTOT - 10logFPFD - 20logN. 8 The phase noise is measured with the EVAL-ADF411xEB and the HP8562E Spectrum Analyzer.

This can be used to switch an external resistor to change the loop filter bandwidth and speed up locking the PLL. Charge Pump Output. When enabled, this provides the ICP to the external loop filter, which in turn drives the external VCO. Charge Pump Ground. This is the ground return path for the charge pump. Analog Ground. This is the ground return path for the prescaler. Complementary Input to the RF Prescaler. This point should be decoupled to the ground plane with a small bypass capacitor, typically 100 pF. See Figure 26. Input to the RF Prescaler. This small signal input is ac-coupled from the VCO. Analog Power Supply. This can range from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Decoupling capacitors to the analog ground plane should be placed as close as possible to this pin. AVDD must have the same value as DVDD. Reference Input. This is a CMOS input with a nominal threshold of VDD/2 and an equivalent input resistance of 100 k. See Figure 25. The oscillator input can be driven from a TTL or CMOS crystal oscillator, or it can be ac-coupled. Digital Ground. Chip Enable. A logic low on this pin powers down the device and puts the charge pump output into three-state mode. Taking the pin high powers up the device depending on the status of the power-down bit F2. Serial Clock Input. This serial clock is used to clock in the serial data to the registers. The data is latched into the 21-bit shift register on the CLK rising edge. This input is a high impedance CMOS input. Serial Data Input. The serial data is loaded MSB first with the two LSBs as the control bits. This input is a high impedance CMOS input. Load Enable, CMOS Input. When LE goes high, the data stored in the shift registers is loaded into one of the four latches, the latch being selected using the control bits. This multiplexer output allows either the lock detect, the scaled RF, or the scaled reference frequency to be accessed externally. Digital Power Supply. This can range from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Decoupling capacitors to the digital ground plane (1 F, 1 nF) should be placed as close as possible to this pin. For best performance, the 1 F capacitor should be placed within 2 mm of the pin. The placing of the 1 nF capacitor is less critical, but should still be within 5 mm of the pin. DVDD must have the same value as AVDD. Charge Pump Power Supply. This should be greater than or equal to VDD. In systems where VDD is 3 V, this supply can be set to 6 V and used to drive a VCO with a tuning range of up to 6 V. Rev.

SW1 and SW2 are normally closed switches; SW3 is normally open. When power-down is initiated, SW3 is closed and SW1 and SW2 are opened. This ensures that there is no loading of the REFIN pin on power-down. The A CMOS counter and B CMOS counter combine with the dual-modulus prescaler to allow a wide ranging division ratio in the PLL feedback counter. The counters are specified to work when the prescaler output is 200 MHz or less. POWER-DOWN CONTROL NC REFIN NC The A counter and B counter, in conjunction with the dualmodulus prescaler, make it possible to generate output frequencies that are spaced only by the reference frequency divided by R. The equation for the VCO frequency is as follows: 100k SW2 Pulse Swallow Function TO R COUNTER fVCO = [(P x B ) + A]x f REFIN / R BUFFER SW1 00392-025 SW3 NO where: Figure 25. Reference Input Stage fVCO is the output frequency of external voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). P is the preset modulus of dual-modulus prescaler. B is the preset divide ratio of binary 13-bit counter (3 to 8191). A is the preset divide ratio of binary 5-bit swallow counter (0 to 31). fREFIN is the output frequency of the external reference frequency oscillator. R is the preset divide ratio of binary 14-bit programmable reference counter (1 to 16,383). RF INPUT STAGE The RF input stage is shown in Figure 26. It is followed by a 2-stage limiting amplifier to generate the CML clock levels needed for the prescaler. BIAS GENERATOR 500 1.6V AVDD 500 R COUNTER RFINA The 14-bit R counter allows the input reference frequency to be divided down to produce the input clock to the phase frequency detector (PFD). Division ratios from 1 to 16,383 are allowed. N = BP + A Figure 26. RF Input Stage FROM RF INPUT STAGE PRESCALER (P/P + 1) The dual-modulus prescaler (P/P + 1), along with the A counter and B counter, enables the large division ratio, N, to be realized (N = PB + A). The dual-modulus prescaler takes the CML clock from the RF input stage and divides it down to a manageable frequency for the CMOS A counter and CMOS B counter. The prescaler is programmable. It can be set in software to 8/9 for the ADF4116 and to 32/33 for the ADF4117 and ADF4118. It is based on a synchronous 4/5 core. Rev.

PFD Simplified Schematic and Timing (In Lock) 00392-028 N DIVIDER INPUT SHIFT REGISTER The ADF411x family digital section includes a 21-bit input shift register, a 14-bit R counter, and an 18-bit N counter, comprising a 5-bit A counter and a 13-bit B counter. Data is clocked into the 21-bit shift register on each rising edge of CLK. The data is clocked in MSB first. Data is transferred from the shift register to one of four latches on the rising edge of LE. The destination latch is determined by the state of the two control bits (C2, C1) in the shift register. These are the two LSBs, DB1 and DB0, as shown in the timing diagram in Figure 2. The truth table for these bits is shown in Figure 34. Table 5 summarizes how the latches are programmed. Table 5.

Initialization Latch Map Rev. D | Page 18 of 28 00392-034 RESERVED ADF4116/ADF4117/ADF4118 FUNCTION LATCH With C2 and C1 set to 1 and 0, respectively, the on-chip function latch is programmed. Figure 33 shows the input data format for programming the function latch. CHARGE PUMP THREE-STATE COUNTER RESET FASTLOCK ENABLE BIT DB2 (F1) is the counter reset bit. When this bit is set to 1, the R counter, A counter, and B counter are reset. For normal operation, this bit should be set to 0. On power-up, the F1 bit needs to be disabled, for the N counter to resume counting in "close" alignment with the R counter. (The maximum error is one prescaler cycle.) DB9 (F4) of the function latch is the fastlock enable bit. Fastlock is enabled only when DB9 is set to 1. POWER-DOWN DB3 (PD1) and DB19 (PD2) on the ADF411x family provide programmable power-down modes. They are enabled by the CE pin. When the CE pin is low, the device is immediately disabled regardless of the states of PD2 and PD1. The DB8 (F3) bit puts the charge pump into three-state mode when programmed to 1. It should be set to 0 for normal operation. FASTLOCK MODE BIT DB11 (F6) of the function latch is the fastlock mode bit. When fastlock is enabled, this bit determines which fastlock mode is used. If the fastlock mode bit is 0, Fastlock Mode 1 is selected; if the fastlock mode bit is 1, Fastlock Mode 2 is selected. If fastlock is not enabled (DB9 = 0), DB11 (ADF4116) determines the state of the FLO output. FLO state is the same as that programmed to DB11. Fastlock Mode 1 In programmed asynchronous power-down, the device powers down immediately after latching a 1 into the PD1 bit, with the condition that PD2 is loaded with a 0. In programmed synchronous power-down, the device powerdown is gated by the charge pump to prevent unwanted frequency jumps. Once power-down is enabled by writing a 1 into the PD1 bit (on condition that a 1 is also loaded to PD2), the device goes into power-down after the first successive charge pump event. When a power-down is activated (either synchronous or asynchronous mode including CE pin-activated power-down), the following events occur: In the ADF411x family, the output level of FLO is programmed to a low state, and the charge pump current is switched to the high value (1 mA). FLO is used to switch a resistor in the loop filter and to ensure stability while in fastlock by altering the loop bandwidth. The device enters fastlock by having a 1 written to the CP Gain bit in the N register. The device exits fastlock by having a 0 written to the CP Gain bit in the N register. Fastlock Mode 2 In the ADF411x family, the output level of FLO is programmed to a low state, and the charge pump current is switched to the high value (1 mA). FLO is used to switch a resistor in the loop filter and to ensure stability while in fastlock by altering the loop bandwidth. * All active dc current paths are removed. * The R counter, N counter, and timeout counter are forced to their load state conditions. * The charge pump is forced into three-state mode. * The digital clock detect circuitry is reset. * The RFIN input is debiased. The device enters fastlock by having a 1 written to the CP gain bit in the N register. The device exits fastlock under the control of the timer counter. After the timeout period determined by the value in TC4 to TC1, the CP Gain bit in the N register is automatically reset to 0, and the device reverts to normal mode instead of fastlock. * The oscillator input buffer circuitry is disabled. TIMER COUNTER CONTROL * The input register remains active and capable of loading and latching data. In the ADF411x family, the user has the option of switching between two charge pump current values to speed up locking to a new frequency. MUXOUT CONTROL The on-chip multiplexer is controlled by DB6 (M3), DB5 (M2), and DB4 (M1) on the ADF411x family. Figure 33 shows the truth table. When using the fastlock feature with the ADF411x family, the following should be noted: * PHASE DETECTOR POLARITY DB7 (F2) of the function latch sets the phase detector polarity. When the VCO characteristics are positive, DB7 should be set to 1. When they are negative, it should be set to 0. Rev. D | Page 19 of 28 The user must make sure that fastlock is enabled. Set DB9 to 1. The user must also choose which fastlock mode to use. ADF4116/ADF4117/ADF4118 * Fastlock Mode 2 uses the values in the timer counter to determine the timeout period before reverting to normal mode operation after fastlock. Fastlock Mode 2 is chosen by setting DB11 to 1. * The user must also decide how long to keep the high current (1 mA) active before reverting to low current (250 A). This is controlled by the timer counter control bits, DB14 to DB11 (TC4 to TC1), in the function latch. The truth table is given in Figure 33. * To program a new output frequency, program the A counter and B counter latch with new values for A and B. At the same time, set the CP Gain bit to a 1, which sets the charge pump to 1 mA for a period of time determined by TC4 to TC1. When this time is up, the charge pump current reverts to 250 A. At the same time, the CP Gain bit in the A counter and B counter latch is reset to 0 and is ready for the next time that the user wants to change the frequency. INITIALIZATION LATCH When C2 and C1 are both set to 1, the initialization latch is programmed. This is essentially the same as the function latch that is programmed when C2, C1 = 1, 0. However, when the initialization latch is programmed, an additional internal reset pulse is applied to the R counter and N counter. This pulse ensures that the N counter is at a load point when the N counter data is latched and that the device begins counting in close phase alignment. 4. Do an N load (01 in 2 LSBs). When the initialization latch is loaded, the following occurs: * The function latch contents are loaded. * An internal pulse resets the R, N, and timeout counters to load state conditions and also three-states the charge pump. Note that the prescaler band gap reference and the oscillator input buffer are unaffected by the internal reset pulse, allowing close phase alignment when counting resumes. * Latching the first N counter data after the initialization word activates the same internal reset pulse. Successive N loads do not trigger the internal reset pulse unless there is another initialization. CE Pin Method 1. Apply VDD. 2. Bring CE low to put the device into power-down. This is an asynchronous power-down in that it happens immediately. 3. Program the function latch (10). 4. Program the R counter latch (00). 5. Program the N counter latch (01). 6. Bring CE high to take the device out of power-down. The R counter and N counter resume counting in close alignment. Note that after CE goes high, a duration of 1 s may be required for the prescaler band gap voltage and oscillator input buffer bias to reach a steady state. If the latch is programmed for synchronous power-down (CE pin is high; PD1 bit is high; PD2 bit is low), the internal pulse also triggers this power-down. The prescaler reference and the oscillator input buffer are unaffected by the internal reset pulse, so close phase alignment is maintained when counting resumes. CE can be used to power up and power down the device to check for channel activity. The input register does not need to be reprogrammed each time the device is disabled and enabled, as long as it is programmed at least once after VCC is initially applied. Counter Reset Method When the first N counter data is latched after initialization, the internal reset pulse is again activated. However, successive N counter loads do not trigger the internal reset pulse. 1. Apply VDD. 2. DEVICE PROGRAMMING AFTER INITIAL POWER-UP Do a function latch load (10 in 2 LSBs). As part of this, load 1 to the F1 bit. This enables the counter reset. 3. Do an R counter load (00 in 2 LSBs). 4. Do an N counter load (01 in 2 LSBs). 5. Do a function latch load (10 in 2 LSBs). As part of this, load 0 to the F1 bit. This disables the counter reset. After initial power-up, the device can be programmed by the initialization latch method, the CE pin method, or the counter reset method. Initialization Latch Method 1. Apply VDD. 2. Program the initialization latch (11 in 2 LSBs of input word). Make sure that F1 bit is programmed to 0. 3. Do an R load (00 in 2 LSBs). This sequence provides the same close alignment as the initialization method. It offers direct control over the internal reset. Note that counter reset holds the counters at load point and three-states the charge pump, but it does not trigger synchronous power-down. The counter reset method requires an extra function latch load compared to the initialization latch method. Rev. D | Page 20 of 28 ADF4116/ADF4117/ADF4118 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION LOCAL OSCILLATOR FOR THE GSM BASE STATION TRANSMITTER SHUTDOWN CIRCUIT Figure 35 shows the ADF4117/ADF4118 being used with a VCO to produce the LO for a GSM base station transmitter. The reference input signal is applied to the circuit at FREFIN and, in this case, is terminated in 50 . A typical GSM system has a 13 MHz TCXO driving the reference input without a 50 termination. To have a channel spacing of 200 kHz (the GSM standard), the reference input must be divided by 65, using the on-chip reference divider of the ADF4117/ADF1118. The charge pump output of the ADF4117/ADF1118 (Pin 2) drives the loop filter. In calculating the loop filter component values, a number of items need to be considered. In this example, the loop filter was designed so that the overall phase margin for the system is 45. Other PLL system specifications include: KD = 1 mA KV = 12 MHz/V Loop bandwidth = 20 kHz FREF = 200 kHz N = 4500 Extra reference spur attenuation = 10 dB All of these specifications are needed and are used to produce the loop filter component values shown in Figure 36. The loop filter output drives the VCO, which, in turn, is fed back to the RF input of the PLL synthesizer; it also drives the RF output terminal. A T-circuit configuration provides 50 matching between the VCO output, the RF output, and the RFIN terminal of the synthesizer. In a PLL system, it is important to know when the system is in locked mode. In Figure 35, this is accomplished by using the MUXOUT signal from the synthesizer. The MUXOUT pin can be programmed to monitor various internal signals in the synthesizer. One of these is the LD or lock-detect signal. The attached circuit in Figure 36 shows how to shut down both the ADF411x family and the accompanying VCO. The ADG702 switch goes open-circuit when a Logic 1 is applied to the IN input. The low cost switch is available in both SOT-23 and MSOP packages. DIRECT CONVERSION MODULATOR In some applications, a direct conversion architecture can be used in base station transmitters. Figure 37 shows the combination available from Analog Devices, Inc. to implement this solution. The circuit diagram shows the AD9761 being used with the AD8346. The use of dual integrated DACs, such as the AD9761 with specified 0.02 dB and 0.004 dB gain and offset matching characteristics, ensures minimum error contribution (over temperature) from this portion of the signal chain. The local oscillator is implemented by using the ADF4117/ ADF4118. In this case, the FOX801BH-130 provides the stable 13 MHz reference frequency. The system is designed for 200 kHz channel spacing and an output center frequency of 1960 MHz. The target application is a WCDMA base station transmitter. Typical phase noise performance from this LO is -85 dBc/Hz at a 1 kHz offset. The LO port of the AD8346 is driven in single-ended fashion. LOIN is ac-coupled to ground with the 100 pF capacitor, and LOIP is driven through the accoupling capacitor from a 50 source. An LO drive level between -6 dBm and -12 dBm is required. The circuit in Figure 37 gives a typical level of -8 dBm. The RF output is designed to drive a 50 load, but it must be ac-coupled as shown in Figure 37. If the I and Q inputs are driven in quadrature by 2 V p-p signals, the resulting output power is approximately -10 dBm. Rev.

CLK, DATA, and LE control the data transfer. When LE (latch enable) goes high, the 24 bits that are clocked into the input register on each rising edge of CLK are transferred to the appropriate latch. See Figure 2 for the timing diagram and Table 5 for the latch truth table. The maximum allowable serial clock rate is 20 MHz. This means that the maximum update rate possible for the device is 833 kHz or one update every 1.2 s. This is more than adequate for systems that have typical lock times in hundreds of microseconds. ADuC812 Interface Figure 38 shows the interface between the ADF411x family and the ADuC812 MicroConverter(R). Since the ADuC812 is based on an 8051 core, this interface can be used with any 8051-based microcontroller. The MicroConverter is set up for SPI master mode with CPHA = 0. To initiate the operation, the I/O port driving LE is brought low. Each latch of the ADF411x family needs a 24-bit word. This is accomplished by writing three 8-bit bytes from the MicroConverter to the device. When the third byte has been written, the LE input should be brought high to complete the transfer. On first applying power to the ADF411x family, it requires three writes (one each to the R counter latch, the N counter latch, and the initialization latch) for the output to become active. I/O port lines on the ADuC812 are also used to control powerdown (CE input) and to detect lock (MUXOUT configured as lock detect and polled by the port input). When operating in the mode described, the maximum SCLOCK rate of the ADuC812 is 4 MHz. This means that the maximum rate at which the output frequency can be changed is 166 kHz. ADSP-21xx Interface Figure 39 shows the interface between the ADF411x family and the ADSP-21xx digital signal processor. The ADF411x family needs a 21-bit serial word for each latch write. The easiest way to accomplish this using the ADSP-21xx family is to use the autobuffered transmit mode of operation with alternate framing. This provides a means for transmitting an entire block of serial data before an interrupt is generated.

To program each 21-bit latch, store the three 8-bit bytes, enable the autobuffered mode, and write to the transmit register of the DSP. This last operation initiates the autobuffer transfer. Rev.
