APPLICATIONS
Base Stations for Wireless Radio (GSM, PCS, DCS,
The ADF4110 family of frequency synthesizers can be used
to implement local oscillators in the upconversion and downconversion sections of wireless receivers and transmitters. They
consist of a low-noise digital PFD (Phase Frequency Detector),
a precision charge pump, a programmable reference divider,
programmable A and B counters and a dual-modulus prescaler
(P/P+1). The A (6-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 PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) can be implemented if the synthesizer is used with an external loop filter and
VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator).
Control of all the on-chip registers is 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.

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 REF

PRESCALER (P/P+1)
The dual-modulus prescaler (P/P+1), along with the A and B
counters, enables the large division ratio, N, to be realized
(N = BP + A). The dual-modulus prescaler, operating at CML
levels, takes the clock from the RF input stage and divides it
down to a manageable frequency for the CMOS A and B counters.
The prescaler is programmable. It can be set in software to 8/9,
16/17, 32/33, or 64/65. It is based on a synchronous 4/5 core.
A AND B COUNTERS
The A and B CMOS counters 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. Thus, with an RF input
frequency of 2.5 GHz, a prescaler value of 16/17 is valid but a
value of 8/9 is not valid.
Pulse Swallow Function
The A and B counters, in conjunction with the dual modulus
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:

The 14-bit R counter allows the input reference frequency to be

allowed.

PHASE FREQUENCY DETECTOR (PFD) AND CHARGE
PUMP
The PFD takes inputs from the R counter and N counter
(N = BP + A) and produces an output proportional to the phase
and frequency difference between them. Figure 27 is a simplified schematic. The PFD includes a programmable delay element
which controls the width of the antibacklash pulse. This pulse
ensures that there is no dead zone in the PFD transfer function
and minimizes phase noise and reference spurs. Two bits in the
Reference Counter Latch, ABP2 and ABP1 control the width
of the pulse. See Table III.

MUXOUT AND LOCK DETECT
The output multiplexer on the ADF4110 family allows the
user to access various internal points on the chip. The state of
MUXOUT is controlled by M3, M2 and M1 in the function
latch. Table V shows the full truth table. Figure 28 shows the
MUXOUT section in block diagram form.
Lock Detect
MUXOUT can be programmed for two types of lock detect:
digital lock detect and analog lock detect.
Digital lock detect is active high. When LDP in the R counter
latch is set to 0, digital lock detect is set high when the phase
error on three consecutive Phase Detector cycles is less than 15 ns.
With LDP set to 1, five consecutive cycles of less than 15 ns
are required to set the lock detect. It will stay set high until a
phase error of greater than 25 ns is detected on any subsequent
PD cycle.
The N-channel open-drain analog lock detect should be operated with an external pull-up resistor of 10 kΩ nominal. When
lock has been detected this output will be high with narrow lowgoing pulses.

The ADF4110 family digital section includes a 24-bit input shift
register, a 14-bit R counter and a 19-bit N counter, comprising
a 6-bit A counter and a 13-bit B counter. Data is clocked into
the 24-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, DB0 as
shown in the timing diagram of Figure 1. The truth table for
these bits is shown in Table VI. Table I shows a summary of
how the latches are programmed.

With C2, C1 set to 1, 0, the on-chip function latch will be programmed. Table V shows the input data format for programming
the Function Latch.
Counter Reset
DB2 (F1) is the counter reset bit. When this is “1,” the R counter
and the A, B counters are reset. For normal operation this bit
should be “0.” Upon powering up, the F1 bit needs to be disabled,
the N counter resumes counting in “close” alignment with the R counter.
(The maximum error is one prescaler cycle.)
Power-Down
DB3 (PD1) and DB21 (PD2) on the ADF4110 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, PD1.
In the programmed asynchronous power-down, the device powers down immediately after latching a “1” into bit PD1, with the
condition that PD2 has been loaded with a “0.”
In the programmed synchronous power-down, the device powerdown is gated by the charge pump to prevent unwanted frequency
jumps. Once the power-down is enabled by writing a “1” into
bit PD1 (on condition that a “1” has also been loaded to PD2),
the device will go into power-down on the occurrence of the next
charge pump event.
When a power-down is activated (either synchronous or asynchronous mode including CE-pin-activated power-down), the
following events occur:
All active dc current paths are removed.
The R, N, and timeout counters are forced to their load state
conditions.
The charge pump is forced into three-state mode.
The digital clock detect circuitry is reset.
The RF
input is debiased.
IN
The reference input buffer circuitry is disabled.
The input register remains active and capable of loading and
latching data.
MUXOUT Control
The on-chip multiplexer is controlled by M3, M2, M1 on the
ADF4110 family. Table V shows the truth table.
Fastlock Enable Bit
DB9 of the Function Latch is the Fastlock Enable Bit. Only
when this is “1” is Fastlock enabled.
Fastlock Mode Bit
DB10 of the Function Latch is the Fastlock Enable bit. When
Fastlock is enabled, this bit determines which Fastlock Mode is
used. If the Fastlock Mode bit is “0” then Fastlock Mode 1
is selected and if the Fastlock Mode bit is “1,” then Fastlock
Mode 2 is selected.
Fastlock Mode 1
The charge pump current is switched to the contents of Current
Setting 2.
The device enters Fastlock by having a “1” written to the CP
Gain bit in the AB counter latch. The device exits Fastlock by
having a “0” written to the CP Gain bit in the AB counter latch.
Fastlock Mode 2
The charge pump current is switched to the contents of Current
Setting 2.
The device enters Fastlock by having a “1” written to the CP
Gain bit in the AB counter latch. The device exits Fastlock under
the control of the Timer Counter. After the timeout period determined by the value in TC4–TC1, the CP Gain bit in the AB
counter latch is automatically reset to “0” and the device reverts
to normal mode instead of Fastlock. See Table V for the timeout periods.
Timer Counter Control
The user has the option of programming two charge pump currents. The intent is that the Current Setting 1 is used when the
RF output is stable and the system is in a static state. Current
Setting 2 is meant to be used when the system is dynamic
and in a state of change (i.e., when a new output frequency is
programmed).
The normal sequence of events is as follows:
The user initially decides what the preferred charge pump currents are going to be. For example, they may choose 2.5 mA as
Current Setting 1 and 5 mA as the Current Setting 2.
At the same time, they must also decide how long they want the
secondary current to stay active before reverting to the primary
current. This is controlled by the Timer Counter Control Bits
DB14 to DB11 (TC4–TC1) in the Function Latch. The truth
table is given in Table V.
When the user wishes to program a new output frequency, he
can simply program the AB counter latch with new values for A
and B. At the same time, he can set the CP Gain bit to a “1,”
which sets the charge pump with the value in CPI6–CPI4 for a
period of time determined by TC4–TC1. When this time is up,
the charge pump current reverts to the value set by CPI3– CPI1.
At the same time the CP Gain bit in the A, B Counter latch is
reset to 0 and is now ready for the next time the user wishes
to change the frequency again.
Note that there is an enable feature on the Timer Counter. It is
enabled when Fastlock Mode 2 is chosen by setting the Fastlock
Mode bit (DB10) in the Function Latch to “1.”
Charge Pump Currents
CPI3, CPI2, CPI1 program Current Setting 1 for the charge
pump. CPI6, CPI5, CPI4 program Current Setting 2 for the
charge pump. The truth table is given in Table V.
Prescaler Value
P2 and P1 in the Function Latch set the prescaler values. The
prescaler value should be chosen so that the prescaler output
frequency is always less than or equal to 200 MHz. Thus, with
an RF frequency of 2 GHz, a prescaler value of 16/17 is valid
but a value of 8/9 is not.
PD Polarity
This bit sets the PD Polarity Bit. See Table V.
CP Three-State
This bit the CP output pin. With the bit set high, the CP output
is put into three-state. With the bit set low, the CP output is
enabled.

THE INITIALIZATION LATCH
When C2, C1 = 1, 1, the Initialization Latch is programmed.
This is essentially the same as the Function Latch (programmed
when C2, C1 = 1, 0).
However, when the Initialization Latch is programmed an additional internal reset pulse is applied to the R and AB counters.
This pulse ensures that the AB counter is at load point when the
AB counter data is latched and the device will begin counting in
close phase alignment.
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 and
so close phase alignment is maintained when counting resumes.
When the first AB counter data is latched after initialization, the
internal reset pulse is again activated. However, successive AB
counter loads after this will not trigger the internal reset pulse.
DEVICE PROGRAMMING AFTER INITIAL POWER-UP
After initially powering up the device, there are three ways to
program the device.
Initialization Latch Method
Apply VDD. Program the Initialization Latch (“11” in 2 LSBs
of input word). Make sure that F1 bit is programmed to “0.”
Then do an R load (“00” in 2 LSBs). Then do an AB load (“01”
in 2 LSBs).
When the Initialization Latch is loaded, the following occurs:
1. The function latch contents are loaded.
2. An internal pulse resets the R, A, B, and timeout counters
to load state conditions and also three-states the charge pump.
Note that the prescaler bandgap reference and the oscillator
input buffer are unaffected by the internal reset pulse, allowing close phase alignment when counting resumes.
3. Latching the first AB counter data after the initialization word
will activate the same internal reset pulse. Successive AB loads
will not trigger the internal reset pulse unless there is another
initialization.
The CE Pin Method
Apply VDD.
Bring CE low to put the device into power-down. This is an
asynchronous power-down in that it happens immediately.
Program the Function Latch (10). Program the R Counter Latch
(00). Program the AB Counter Latch (01).
Bring CE high to take the device out of power-down. The R
and AB counters will now resume counting in close alignment.
Note that after CE goes high, a duration of 1 µs may be required
for the prescaler bandgap voltage and oscillator input buffer bias
to reach steady state.
CE can be used to power the device up and down in order 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 has been programmed at least once after V
DD
was
initially applied.
The Counter Reset Method
Apply VDD.
Do a Function Latch Load (“10” in 2 LSBs). As part of this, load
“1” to the F1 bit. This enables the counter reset.
Do an R Counter Load (“00” in 2 LSBs) Do an AB Counter Load
(“01” in 2 LSBs). Do a Function Latch Load (“10” in 2 LSBs).
As part of this, load “0” to the F1 bit. This disables the counter
reset.
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 threestates the charge pump, but does not trigger synchronous powerdown. The counter reset method requires an extra function latch
load compared to the initialization latch method.
RESYNCHRONIZING THE PRESCALER OUTPUT
Table III (the Reference Counter Latch Map) shows two bits,
DB22 and DB21 that are labelled DLY and SYNC respectively.
These bits affect the operation of the prescaler.
With SYNC = “1,” the prescaler output is resynchronized with
the RF input. This has the effect of reducing jitter due to the
prescaler and can lead to an overall improvement in synthesizer
phase noise performance. Typically, a 1 dB to 2 dB improvement is seen in the ADF4113. The lower bandwidth devices can
show an even greater improvement. For example, the ADF4110
phase noise is typically improved by 3 dB when SYNC is enabled.
With DLY = “1,” the prescaler output is resynchronized with a
delayed version of the RF input.
If the SYNC feature is used on the synthesizer, some care must
be taken. At some point, (at certain temperatures and output
frequencies), the delay through the prescaler will coincide with
the active edge on RF input and this will cause the SYNC feature to break down. So, it is important when using the SYNC
feature to be aware of this. Adding a delay to the RF signal, by
programming DLY = “1,” will extend the operating frequency
and temperature somewhat. Using the SYNC feature will also
increase the value of the AI
output, the ADF4113 AI
for the device. With a 900 MHz
DD
increases by about 1.3 mA when
DD
SYNC is enabled and a further 0.3 mA if DLY is enabled.
All the typical performance plots on the data sheet except for
Figure 5 apply for DLY and SYNC = “0,” i.e., no resynchronization or delay enabled.

APPLICATIONS SECTION
Local Oscillator for GSM Base Station Transmitter
The following diagram shows the ADF4111/ADF4112/ADF4113
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 FREF
IN
and, in this case, is terminated in 50 Ω. Typical GSM system
would have a 13 MHz TCXO driving the Reference Input
without any 50 Ω termination. In order 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 ADF4111/ADF4112/ADF4113.
The charge pump output of the ADF4111/ADF4112/ADF4113
(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 would be 45 degrees. Other PLL system

back to the RF input of the PLL synthesizer and also drives
the RF Output terminal. A T-circuit configuration provides
50 Ω matching between the VCO output, the RF output and
the RF
terminal of the synthesizer.

In a PLL system, it is important to know when the system is in
lock. In Figure 29, this is accomplished by using the MUXOUT

ADF4110 family and thus increase the level of control over the
charge pump current I
. This can be advantageous in wideband
CP
applications where the sensitivity of the VCO varies over the
tuning range. To compensate for this, the I
may be varied to
CP
maintain good phase margin and ensure loop stability. See
Figure 30.
SHUTDOWN CIRCUIT
The attached circuit in Figure 31 shows how to shut down both
the ADF4110 family and the accompanying VCO. The ADG701
switch goes closed circuit when a Logic 1 is applied to the IN
input. The low-cost switch is available in both SOT-23 and
micro SO packages.
WIDEBAND PLL
Many of the wireless applications for synthesizers and VCOs in
PLLs are narrowband in nature. These applications include
the various wireless standards like GSM, DSC1800, CDMA or
WCDMA. In each of these cases, the total tuning range for the
local oscillator is less than 100 MHz. However, there are also

wide band applications where the local oscillator could have up
to an octave tuning range. For example, cable TV tuners have a
total range of about 400 MHz. Figure 32 shows an application where the ADF4113 is used to control and program the
Micronetics M3500-2235. The loop filter was designed for an
RF output of 2900 MHz, a loop bandwidth of 40 kHz, a PFD
frequency of 1 MHz, I
of 10 mA (2.5 mA synthesizer I
CP
CP
multiplied by the gain factor of 4), VCO KD of 90 MHz/V (sensitivity of the M3500-2235 at an output of 2900 MHz) and a
phase margin of 45°C.
In narrow-band applications, there is generally a small variation
in output frequency (generally less than 10%) and also a small
variation in VCO sensitivity over the range (typically 10% to 15%).
However, in wide band applications both of these parameters
have a much greater variation. In Figure 32, for example, we have
–25% and +17% variation in the RF output from the nominal
2.9 GHz. The sensitivity of the VCO can vary from 120 MHz/V
at 2750 MHz to 75 MHz/V at 3400 MHz (+33%, –17%).
Variations in these parameters will change the loop bandwidth.
This in turn can affect stability and lock time. By changing the
programmable I
, it is possible to get compensation for these
CP
varying loop conditions and ensure that the loop is always operating close to optimal conditions.

DIRECT CONVERSION MODULATOR
In some applications a direct conversion architecture can be used
in base station transmitters. Figure 33 shows the combination
available from ADI 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 (LO) is implemented using the ADF4113.
In this case, the OSC 3B1-13M0 provides the stable 13 MHz
reference frequency. The system is designed for a 200 kHz
channel spacing and an output center frequency of 1960 MHz.

INTERFACING
The ADF4110 family has a simple SPI-compatible serial interface for writing to the device. SCLK, SDATA and LE control
the data transfer. When LE (Latch Enable) goes high, the 24 bits
which have been clocked into the input register on each rising
edge of SCLK will get transferred to the appropriate latch. See
Figure 1 for the Timing Diagram and Table I 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 microseconds. This is certainly more than
adequate for systems that will have typical lock times in hundreds
of microseconds.
ADuC812 Interface
Figure 34 shows the interface between the ADF4110 family and
the ADuC812 microconverter. 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 ADF4110 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 ADF4110 family, it needs 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 will be
166 kHz.
ADSP-2181 Interface
Figure 35 shows the interface between the ADF4110 family and
the ADSP-21xx Digital Signal Processor. The ADF4110 family
needs a 24-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.
