Low Power Frequency Synthesizer for RF Personal Communications LMX2306 550 MHz LMX2316 1.2 GHz LMX2326 2.8 GHz

General Description

The LMX2306/16/26 are monolithic, integrated frequency synthesizers with prescalers that are designed to be used to generate a very stable low noise signal for controlling the local oscillator of an RF transceiver. They are fabricated using National’s ABiC V silicon BiCMOS 0.5µ process.

The LMX2306 contains a 8/9 dual modulus prescaler while the LMX2316 and the LMX2326 have a 32/33 dual modulus prescaler. The LMX2306/16/26 employ a digital phase locked loop technique. When combined with a high quality reference oscillator and loop filter, the LMX2306/16/26 provide the feedback tuning voltage for a voltage controlled oscillator to generate a low phase noise local oscillator signal. Serial data is transferredintothe LMX2306/16/26 via a three wire interface (Data, Enable, Clock). Supply voltage can range from 2.3V to 5.5V. The LMX2306/16/26 feature ultra low current consumption; LMX2306 - 1.7 mA at 3V, LMX2316 - 2.5 mA at 3V, and LMX2326 - 4.0 mA at 3V.

The LMX2306/16/26 synthesizers are available in a 16-pin TSSOP surface mount plastic package.

1.0 Functional Description (Continued)

1.3.1 POWERDOWN OPERATION

Bits F[2] and F[18] provide programmable powerdown modes when the CE pin is HIGH. When CE is LOW, the part is always immediately disabled regardless of powerdown bit status. Refer to

Table 3

Synchronous and asynchronous powerdown modes are both available by MICROWIRE selection. Synchronous powerdown occurs if the F[18] bit (Powerdown Mode) is HIGH when F[2] bit (Powerdown) becomes HIGH. Asynchronous powerdown occurs if the F[18] bit is LOW when its F[2] bit becomes HIGH.

In the synchronous powerdown mode (F[18] = HIGH), the powerdown function is gated by the charge pump to prevent unwanted frequency jumps. Once the powerdown program bit F[2] is loaded, the part will go into powerdown mode after the first successive charge pump event.

In the asynchronous powerdown mode (F[18] = LOW), the device powers down immediately after latching LOW data into bit F[2]. The device returns to an actively powered up condition in either synchronous or asynchronous mode immediately upon LE latch-

ing LOW data into bit F[2]. Activation of a powerdown condition in either synchronous or asynchronous mode including CE pin activated powerdown has the

following effects:

•

Removes all active DC current paths.

•

Forces the R, N, and timeout counters to their load state conditions.

•

Will TRI-STATE the charge pump.

•

Resets the digital lock detect circuitry.

•

Debiases the fINinput to a high impedance state.

•

Disables the oscillator input buffer circuitry.

•

The MICROWIRE control register remains active and capable of loading the data.

1.3.2 LOCK DETECT OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS

Output provided to indicate when the VCO frequency is in “lock.” When the loop is locked and the open drain lock detect mode is selected, the pin’s output is HIGH, with narrow pulses LOW. When digital lock detect is selected, the output will be HIGH when the absolute phase error is

15 ns for three or five consecutive phase frequency detector reference cycles, depending on the value of R[19]. Once lock is detected the output stays HIGH unless the absolute phase error exceeds 30 ns for a single reference cycle. Setting the charge pump to TRI-STATE or power down (bits F2, F18) will reset the digital lock detect to the unlocked state. The LD precision bit, R[19], will select five consecutive reference cycles, instead of three, for entering the locked state when R[19] = HIGH.

1.3.3 LOCK DETECT FILTER CALCULATION

The component values for the open drain lock detect filter can be determined after assessing the qualifications for an in-lock condition. The in-lock condition can be specified as being a particular number (N) of consecutive reference cycles or duration (D) wherein the phase detector phase error is some factor less than the reference period. In an example where the phase detector reference period is 10 kHz, one might select the threshold for in-lock as occurring when 5 consecutive phase comparisons have elapsed where the phase errors are a 1000 times shorter than the reference period (100 ns). Here, N = 5 and F = 1000.

For the lock detect filter shown in

Figure 1

, when used in conjunction with a open drain (active sink only) lock detect output, the

resistor value for R2 would be chosen to be a factor of F

R1. Thus, if resistor R1 were pulled low for only 1/1000th of the reference cycle period, its “effective” resistance would be on par with R2. The two resistors for that duty cycle condition on average appear to be two 1000x R1 resistors connected across the supply voltage with their common node voltage (Vc) at V

/2. Phase

errors larger than 1/1000th of the reference cycle period would drag the average voltage of node Vc below V

/2 indicating an

out-of-lock status. If the time constant of R2

C1 is now calculated to be N*the reference period (500 µs), then the voltage of

node Vc would fall below V

/2 only after 5 consecutive phase errors whose average pulse width was greater than 100 ns.

1.3.4 FastLock MODES

FastLock enables the designer to achieve both fast frequency transitions and good phase noise performance by dynamically changing the PLL loop bandwidth. The FastLock modes allow wide band PLL fast locking with seemless transition to a low phase noise narrow band PLL. Consistent gain and phase margins are maintained by simultaneously changing charge pump current magnitude, counter values, and loop filter damping resistor.The four FastLock modes in

Table 5

are similar to the technique used in National Semiconductor’s LMX 233X series Dual Phase Locked Loops and are selected by F9, F10, and N19 when F8 is HIGH. Modes 1 and 2 change loop bandwidth by a factor of two while modes 3 and 4 change the loop bandwidth by a factor of 4. Modes 1 and 2 increase charge pump magnitude by a factor of 4 and should use R2’=R2 for consistent gain and phase margin. Modes 3 and 4 increase charge pump magnitude and decrease the counter values by a factor of 4. R2’ =

⁄3R2 should be used for con-

sistent stability margin in modes 3 and 4. When F8 is LOW, the FastLock modes are disabled, F9 controls only the FL

output

level (FL

= F9), and N19 determines the charge pump current magnitude (N19=LOW→ICPo= 250 µA, N19=HIGH→ICPo=

1 mA).

Note 7: Whenthe GO bit N[19] is set to one, the part is forced into the high gain mode. When the timeout counter is activated, termination of the counter cycle resets the GO bit to 0. If the timeout counter is not activated, N[19] must be reprogrammed to zero in order to remove the high gain state. See below for descriptions of each individual FastLock mode.

There are two techniques of switching in and out of FastLock. Toprogram the device into any of the FastLock modes, the GO bit N[19] must be set to one to begin FastLock operation. In the first approach, the timeout counter can be used (FastLock 2 and 4) to stay in FastLock mode for a programmable number of phase detector reference cycles (up to 63) and then reset the GO bit automatically.In the second approach (FastLock 1 and 3) without the timeout counter, the PLL will remain in FastLock mode until the user resets the GO bit via the MICROWIRE serial bus. Once the GO bit is set to zero by the timeout counter or by MICROWIRE, the PLL will then return to normal operation. This transition does not effect the charge on the loop filter capacitors and is enacted synchronous with the charge pump output. This creates a nearly seamless transition between FastLock and standard mode.

FastLock Mode 1 In this mode, the output level of the FL

is programmed in a low state while the ICPois in the 4x state. The device remains in this state until a command is received, resetting the N[19] bit to zero. Programming N[19] to zero will return the device to normal operation

., i.e., ICPo= 1x and FLoreturned to TRI-STATE.

FastLock Mode 2 Identical to mode 1, except the switching of the device out of FastLock is controlled by the Timeout counter.

The device will remain in FastLock until the timeout counter has counted down the appropriate number of phase detector cycles, at which time the PLL returns to normal operation

FastLock Mode 3 This mode is similar to mode 1 in that the output level of the FL

is low and the ICPois switched to the 4x state. Additionally, the R and N divide ratios are reduced by one fourth during the transient, resulting in a 16x improved gain. As in mode 1, the device remains in this state until a MICROWIRE command is received, resetting the N[19] bit to zero and returning the device to normal operation

FastLock Mode 4 Identical to mode 3, except the switching of the device out of FastLock is controlled by the Timeout counter.

The device will remain in FastLock until the timeout counter has counted down the appropriate number of phase detector cycles, at which time the PLL returns to normal operation

Normal Operation FastLock Normal Operation is defined as the device being in low current mode and standard divider values.

1.6 Typical Application Example

DS100127-11

OPERATIONAL NOTES:

VCO is assumed AC coupled.

R1 increases impedance so that VCO output power is provided to the load rather than the PLL. Typical values are 10Ω to 200Ω depending on the VCO

power level. fINRF impedance ranges from 40Ω to 100Ω.

50Ω termination is often used on test boards to allow use of external reference oscillator. For most typical products a CMOS clock is used and no terminating

resistor is required. OSCINmay be AC or DC coupled. AC coupling is recommended because the input circuit provides its own bias. (See

Figure

below.)

1.7 Application Information

1.7.1 DEVICE PROGRAMMING AFTER FIRST APPLYING V

Three MICROWIRE programming methods can be used to change the function latch, R counter latch, and N counter latch contents with close phase alignment of R and N counters to minimize lock up time after the cold power up.

1.7.2 INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE METHOD

Loading the function latch with [C1, C2] = [1, 1] immediately followed by an R counter load, then an N counter load, efficiently programs the MICROWIRE. Loading the function latch with [C1, C2] = [1, 1] programs the same function latch as a load with [C1, C2] = [0, 1] and additionally provides an internal reset pulse described below. This program sequence insures that the counters are at load point when the N counter data is latched in and the part will begin counting in close phase alignment.

The following results from latching the MICROWIRE with an F latch word, [C1, C2] = [1, 1]:

•

The function latch contents are loaded.

•

An internal pulse resets the R, N, and timeout counters to load state conditions and will TRI-STATE the charge pump. If the function latch is programmed for the synchronous powerdown case; CE = HIGH, F[2] = HIGH, F[18] = HIGH, this internal pulse triggers powerdown. Refer to Section 1.3.1 POWERDOWN OPERATION section for a synchronous powerdown description. 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.

•

Latching the first N counter data after the initialization word will activate the same internal reset pulse. Successive N counter data loads without an initialization load will not trigger the internal reset pulse.

1.7.3 CE METHOD

Programming the function latch, R counter latch and N counter latch while the part is being held in a powerdown state by CE allows lowest possible power dissipation. After the MICROWIRE contents have been programmed and the part is enabled, the R and N counter contents will resume counting in close phase alignment. Note that after CE transitions from LOW to 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 part up and down by pin control in order to check for channel activity.The MICROWIRE does not need to be reprogrammed each time the part is enabled and disabled as long as it has been programmed at least once after V

was applied.

1.7.4 COUNTER RESET METHOD

This MICROWIRE programming method consists of a function latch load, [C1, C2] = [0, 1], enabling the counter reset bit, F[1]. The R and N counter latches are then loaded followed by a final function latch load that disables the counter reset. This provides the same close phase alignment as the initialization sequence method with direct control over the internal reset. Note that counter reset holds the counters at load point and will TRI-STATE the charge pump, but does not trigger synchronous powerdown. The counter reset method requires an extra function latch load compared to the initialization sequence method.

1.7.5 DEVICE PROGRAMMING

When programming the LMX2306, LMX2316, and LMX2326, first determine the frequencies and mode of operation desired. Data register is programmed with a 21-bit data stream shifted into the R counter, N counter, or the F latch. The Functional Description section shows the bits for the R counter, and the corresponding information for the N counter. The FL

programming information is given in the FUNCTION AND INITIALIZATION LATCHES section. Typical numbers for a GSM application example are given. In the example, the RF output is locking at 950 MHz (f

vco

) with a

200 kHz channel spacing (f

comparison

). The crystal oscillator

reference input is 10 MHz (f

osc

) and the prescaler value (P) is 32. An example of both methods of FastLock will be shown.

The last two bits (control bits C1 and C2) of each bit stream identify which counter or FL

mode will be programmed. For example, to program the R counter, C1 and C2 will be 0,0. Immediately proceeding these two bits is the N, R, or F bits providing the divide ratios and FastLock mode information.

Control Bits DATA Location

C1 C2

0 0 R Counter 1 0 N Counter 0 1 Function Latch 1 1 Initialization

For example, to load the N counter, the last two bits C1 and C2 must be 10.

Once the control bits have been determined, the frequency information must be determined. To begin, determine the N and R counter values as follows:

N=f

vco/fcomparison

and

R=f

osc/fcomparison

For this example R and N are determined as follows:

R = 10 MHz/200 kHz = 50

and

N = 950 MHz/200 kHz = 4750

1.7 Application Information (Continued)

1.7.6 N COUNTER

The calculated value of N, and the value of P are now used to determine the values of A and B where A and B are both integer values:

N=P

B+A

where B is the divisor and A is the remainder. Therefore:

B = div (N/P)

and

A=N−(B

For this example, B and A are calculated as follows:

B = div (4750/32) = 148 = 0000010010100

and

A = 4750 − (148

32)=14=01110

To load the N counter with these values, the programming bit stream would be as follows. The first bit, the GO bit, (MSB) N[19] is used for FastLock operation and will be discussed in the F Latch section. The next 13 bits, (N[18]–N[6]) shifted in, are the B counter value, 0000010010100

. Bits N[5]–N[1] are the A counter and are 01110bin this example. The final two bits (the control bits) are 1,0 identifying the N counter. In programming the N counter, the value of B must be greater than or equal to A, and the value of B must be greater than or equal to 3.

Note:*In programming the counter, data is shifted in MSB first.

1.7.7 R COUNTER

Programming the R counter is done by shifting in the binary value of R calculated previously (50

= 110010b). The first bit shifted in is R[19] the LD precision bit. The next 4 bits (R[18]–R[15]) shifted in, are used for testing and should always be loaded with zeros. The R[14]–R[1] bits are used to program the reference divider ratio and should be 00000000110010

for this example. The

final two bits, C[1] and C[2] denote the R counter and should be 0, 0. The resulting bit stream looks as follows:

1.7.8 F LATCH

To program the device for any of the FastLock modes, C[1] = 0 and C[2] = 1 which direct data to the F latch. The Section 1.3 FUNCTION AND INITIALIZATION LATCH section discusses the 4 modes of FastLock operation. The user must first determine which FastLock mode will be used. When using any of the FastLock modes, the programmer needs to experimentally determine the length of time to stay in high gain mode. This is done by looking at the transient response and determining the time at which the device has settled to within the appropriate frequency tolerance. FastLock mode should be terminated just prior to “lock” to place the switching phase glitch within the transient settling time. The counter reset mode (F[1] bit) holds both the N and R counters at load point when F[1] = HIGH. Upon setting F[1] = LOW, the N and R counters will resume counting in close phase alignment. Other functions of the F latch such as FoLD output control, Phase detector polarity,and charge pump TRI-STATE are defined in the 1.3 FUNCTION AND INITIALIZATION LATCH section also.

1.7.9 FastLock MODE 1 PROGRAMMING

The F[1]–F[7] bits will be denoted as (

) and are dependent on the desired modes of the applicable functions. To program the device for mode 1 FastLock, the F[8]–F[10] bits are programmed 100, while the N[19] bit is set to 1. The device will stay in the 4X current mode until another N bit stream is sent with the N[19] bit reset to 0. This gives a bit stream as follows:

1.7.10 FastLock MODE 2 PROGRAMMING

Again, the F[1]–F[7] bits will be denoted as don’t care (

) but are dependent on the desired modes of the applicable functions. To program the device for mode 2 FastLock, the F[8]–F[10] bits are programmed 101, while the N[19] bit is set to 1. The device will stay in the 4X current mode for the programmed number of phase detector cycles. Bits F[11]–F[14] program this number of cycles and are shown in

Table 6

. For our example, we will use 27 phase detector cycles, i.e. bits F[11]–F[14] will be 0110b. After 27 phase detector cycles, the N[19] bit returns to zero, bringing the device back to low current mode. The resulting bit stream is as follows:

FastLock modes 3 and 4 are programmed in the same manner and give the added 4X gain increase as discussed in Section 1.3.4 FastLock modes.
