GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADF4196 frequency synthesizer can be used to implement
local oscillators (LO) 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, and the fast settling feature makes the
ADF4196 suitable for pulse Doppler radar applications.
The ADF4196 consists of a low noise, digital phase frequency
detector (PFD) and a precision differential charge pump.
A differential amplifier converts the differential charge pump
output to a single-ended voltage for the external voltage controlled
oscillator (VCO). The sigma-delta (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
(REF
) frequencies at the PFD input.
IN
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 within the
GSM time slot guard period, removing the need for a second
PLL and associated isolation switches. This decreases the cost,
complexity, PCB area, shielding, and characterization found on
previous ping-pong GSM PLL architectures.
