Description
The W3000 is a high-performance UHF RF PLL synthesizer, designed for use in digital wireless communication
applications. Particular emphasis in the design has been placed on dual-band applications, with near-seamless
switching between operational bands without the need for external loop-filter circuitry other than that required for
single band applications. In combination with a suitable reference crystal, UHF VCO, and associated loop-filter
components, the W3000 offers a very low-noise oscillator solution.
The reference signal is divided by a programmable 11-bit counter to provide a wide range of comparison
frequencies, allowing compliance with the various standards. The reference input is rising-edge triggered, and we
recommend that an inverting buffer be used when the W3000 is interfaced to a commercial TCXO.
The MAIN_IN signal normally associated with the UHF VCO is fed into a dual modulus prescaler (64/65) and is
then divided by the 11-bit main counter to be compared to the output of the reference counter in a digital phase
detector.
The W3000 is implemented with programmable charge-pump currents to allow fast switching between bands for
dual-band applications,without changing the loop filter. The charge pump can be programmed internally, or
externally with a resistor (recommended). Charge pump outputs can be disabled, thereby allowing open-loop
VCO modulation schemes.
With synchronous reloading, the counter reloads a new programmed value when the counter reaches zero. With
forced counter reloading, the reloading occurs when the programmed word is latched in. These techniques can
improve lock time when performing a dual-band hop or in start-up conditions.
The W3000 uses a standard 3-wire programming bus (data, enable, clock) that operates up to 10 MHz. This
serial interface is via a 24-bit word that incorporates both register addressing and device addressing allowing two
chips to share the bus.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are
absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in
excess of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for
extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.

Electrostatic Discharge Caution
Although protection circuitry has been designed into this device, proper precautions should be taken to avoid
exposure to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during handling and mounting. Lucent Technologies Microelectronics
Group employs a human-body model (HBM) and a charged-device model (CDM) for ESD-susceptibility testing
and protection design evaluation. ESD voltage thresholds are dependent on the circuit parameters used to define
the model. No industry-wide standard has been adopted for CDM. However, a standard HBM (resistance =
1500 Ω, capacitance = 100 pF) is widely used and, therefore, can be used for comparison purposes.
