FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
Low Phase Noise, Fast Settling PLL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADF4193 frequency synthesizer can be used to implement
local oscillators in the upconversion and downconversion
sections of wireless receivers and transmitters. Its architecture
is specifically designed to meet the GSM/EDGE lock time
requirements for base stations. It consists of a low noise, digital
phase frequency detector (PFD), and a precision differential
charge pump. There is also a differential amplifier to convert
the differential charge pump output to a single-ended voltage
for the external voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO).
The Σ-Δ based fractional interpolator, working with the N
divider, allows programmable modulus fractional-N division.
Additionally, the 4-bit reference (R) counter and on-chip
frequency doubler allow selectable reference signal (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 a VCO. The switching architecture
ensures that the PLL settles inside the GSM time slot guard
period, removing the need for a second PLL and associated
isolation switches. This decreases cost, complexity, PCB area,
shielding, and characterization on previous ping-pong GSM
PLL architectures.

rights of third parties that may result from its use. Specifications subject to change without notice. No

The synthesizer phase noise floor is estimated by measuring the in-band phase noise at the output of the VCO and subtracting 20 log(N) (where N is the N divider
value) and 10 log(f

The PLL phase noise is composed of 1/f (flicker) noise plus the normalized PLL noise floor. The formula for calculating the 1/f noise contribution at an RF frequency,
fRF, and at an offset frequency, f, is given by PN = P1_f + 10 log(10 kHz/f) + 20 log(fRF/1 GHz). Both the normalized phase noise floor and flicker noise are modeled in
ADIsimPLL™.
