General Description
The LMX2310/1/2/3U are high performance frequency synthesizers. The LMX2310/1/2U use a selectable, dual modulus 32/33 and 16/17 prescaler. The LMX2313U uses a selectable, dual modulus 16/17 and 8/9 prescaler. The device,
when combined with a high quality reference oscillator and a
voltage controlled oscillator, generates very stable, low noise
local oscillator signals for up and down conversion in wireless communication devices.
Serial data is transferred into LMX2310/1/2/3U via a threewire interface (Data, Enable, Clock) that can be directly
interfaced with low voltage baseband processors. Supply
voltage can range from 2.7V to 5.5V. LMX2310U features
very low current consumption, typically 2.3 mA at 3.0V.
The LMX2310/1/2/3U are manufactured using National’s
0.5µ ABiC V silicon BiCMOS process and is available in
20-pin CSP packages.

1.0 Functional Description
The basic phase-lock-loop (PLL) configuration consists of a
high-stability crystal reference oscillator, a frequency synthesizer such as the National Semiconductor LMX2310/1/2/3U,
a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and a passive loop
filter. The frequency synthesizer includes a phase detector, a
current mode charge pump, as well as a programmable
reference divider and feedback frequency divider. The VCO
frequency is established by dividing the crystal reference
signal down via the reference divider to obtain a frequency
that sets the comparison frequency. This reference signal, f
is then presented to the input of a phase/frequency detector
and compared with another signal, f
LMX2310U/LMX2311U/LMX2312U/LMX2313U
, which was obtained by
p
dividing the VCO frequency down by way of the feedback
counter. The phase/frequency detector measures the phase
error between the f
and fpsignals and outputs control sig-
r
nals that are directly proportional to the phase error. The
charge pump then pumps charge into or out of the loop filter
based on the magnitude and direction of the phase error.
The loop filter converts the charge into a stable control
voltage for the VCO. The phase/frequency detector’s function is to adjust the voltage presented to the VCO until the
feedback signal’s frequency and phase match that of the
,
r
reference signal. When this “phase-locked” condition exists,
the RF VCO frequency will be N times that of the comparison
frequency, where N is the feedback divider ratio.
20043829
1.1 REFERENCE OSCILLATOR
The reference oscillator frequency for the RF PLL is provided
from the external source via the OSC
pin. The low noise
in
reference buffer circuit supports frequencies from 2 MHz to
50 MHz with a minimum input sensitivity of 0.5 V
. The input
pp
can be driven from an external CMOS or TTL logic gate. The
output of this buffer drives the R COUNTER. The output of
the buffer also connects to an oscillator/buffer circuit. Its
output connects to the OSC
pin. The oscillator/buffer cir-
out
cuit can be used as a buffer to provide the reference frequency to other circuitry. It can also be used as an oscillator
with a crystal/resonator with proper components connected
between OSC
and OSC
in
pins to generate a reference
out
frequency.
1.2 REFERENCE DIVIDER (R COUNTER)
The reference divider is comprised of a 15-bit CMOS binary
counter that supports a continuous integer divide range from
2 to 32,767. The divide ratio should be chosen such that the
maximum phase comparison frequency of 10 MHz is not
exceeded. The reference divider circuit is clocked by the
output of the reference buffer circuit. The output of the
reference divider circuit feeds the reference input of the
phase detector circuit. The frequency of the reference input
to the phase detector (also referred to as the comparison
frequency) is equal to reference oscillator frequency divided
by the reference divider ratio. Refer to Section 3.2.1 for
details on programming the R COUNTER.
1.3 PRESCALERS
The LMX2310/1/2U contains a selectable, dual modulus
32/33 and 16/17 prescaler. The LMX2313U contains a selectable, dual modulus 16/17 and 8/9 prescaler.

prescaler is used to clock the subsequent programmable
feedback divider. Refer to Section 3.3.2 for details on programming the Prescaler Value.
1.4 FEEDBACK DIVIDER (N COUNTER)
The N COUNTER is clocked by the output of the prescaler.
The N COUNTER is composed of a 13-bit programmable
integer divider. The 5-bit swallow counter is part of the
prescaler. Selecting a 32/33 prescaler provides a minimum
continuous divider range from 992 to 262,143 while selecting
a 16/17 prescaler value allows for continuous divider values
from 240 to 131,071. In the LMX2313U, selecting a 8/9
prescaler provides a minimum continuous divider range from
56 to 65535.

control bit, depending on whether the RF VCO tuning characteristics are positive or negative (see programming description in Section 3.2.2). The phase/frequency detector
has a detection range of −2π to +2π.

1.6 CHARGE PUMP
The charge pumps directs charge into or out of an external
loop filter. The loop filter converts the charge into a stable
control voltage which is applied to the tuning input of a VCO.
The charge pump steers the VCO control voltage towards V
during pump-up events and towards GND during pumpdown events. When locked, CP
condition with small corrections occurring at the phase comparison rate. The charge pump output current magnitude can
be selected as 1.0 mA or 4.0 mA by programming the
ICPo_4X bits. When TO_CNTR[11:0] = 1, the charge pump
output current magnitude is set to 4.0 mA. Refer to Section
3.2.3 and 3.4.2 for details on programming the charge pump
output current magnitude.

1.8.1 Analog Lock Detect
When programmed for analog lock detect, the analog lock
detect status is available on the FoLD output pin. When the
charge pump is inactive, the lock detect output goes to a
high impedance in the open drain configuration and to a V
source in a push-pull configuration. It goes low when the
charge pump is active during a comparison cycle. The analog lock detect status can be programmed in either an open
drain or push-pull configuration. The push-pull output is ref-
1.7 MICROWIRE SERIAL INTERFACE
The programmable register set is accessed through the
MICROWIRE serial interface. The interface is comprised of
three signal pins: CLOCK, DATA and LE (Latch Enable). The
MICROWIRE circuitry is referenced to V
, which allows the
µC
circuitry to operate down to a 1.72V source. Serial data is
clocked into a 22-bit shift register from DATA on the rising
edge of CLOCK. The serial data is clocked in MSB first. The
last two bits decode the internal register address. On the
rising edge of LE, the data stored in the shift register is
loaded into one of the three latches based on the address
bits. The synthesizer can be programmed even in the powerdown state. A complete programming description is in Section 3.0.
erenced to V
1.8.2 Digital Lock Detect
When programmed for digital lock detect, the digital lock
detect status is available on the FoLD pin. The digital lock
detect filter compares the phase difference of the inputs from
the phase detector to a RC generated delay of approximately 15 ns. To enter the locked state (LD = High), the
phase error must be less than the 15 ns RC delay for 5
consecutive reference cycles. Once in lock, the RC delay is
changed to approximately 30 ns. To exit the locked state, the
phase error must be greater than the 30 ns RC delay. When
a PLL is in power-down mode, the respective lock detect
output is always low. A flow chart of the digital lock detect

1.9 Fastlock™OUTPUT
The FL pin can be used as the Fastlock output. The FL pin
can also be programmed as constant low, constant high
(referenced to V
), or constant high impedance, selectable
CC
through the T register. When the device is configured in
Fastlock mode, the charge pump current can be increased
4x while maintaining loop stability by synchronously switching a parallel loop filter resistor to ground with the FL pin,
resulting in a ∼2x increase in loop bandwidth. The loop
bandwidth, the zero gain crossover point of the open loop
gain, is effectively shifted up in frequency by a factor of the
square root of 4 = 2 during Fastlock mode. For ω'=2ω, the
phase margin during Fastlock also will remain constant. The
user calculates the loop filter component values for the
normal steady state considerations. The device configuration ensures that as long as a second resistor, equal to the
primary resistor value, is wired in appropriately, the loop will
lock faster without any additional stability considerations.
www.national.com24
20043805
The PLL can be configured to be in either the Fastlock mode
continuously or in the Fastlock mode that uses a timeout
counter to switch it back to the normal mode. In the Fastlock
mode the charge pump current is set to 4 mA and the FL pin
is set low. If the user sets the PLL to be in the Fastlock mode
continuously he can send the R register with CPo_4X set low
(R[18] = 0) and sets TO_CNTR[11:0] to 1. The user can set
the PLL to normal mode (1 mA mode and set the FL pin to
TRI-STATE mode) by programming TO_CNTR[11:0] to 0. If
the user elects to use the timeout counter, he can program
the timeout counter from 4 to 4095. The timeout counter will
count down the programmed number of phase detector reference cycles. After the programmed number of phase detector reference cycles is reached, it will automatically set
the charge pump current to the 1 mA mode and set the FL
pin to TRI-STATE mode. A complete programming description is in Section 3.4.2.
2.0 Power-Down
The LMX2310/1/2/3U are power controlled through logical
control of the CE pin in conjunction with programming of the
PDWN and CPo_TRI bits. A truth table is provided that
describes how the state of the CE pin, the PDWN bit and
CPo_TRI bit set the operating mode of the device. A complete programming description of Power-Down is provided in
Section 3.3.1.

the load point during power-down. When the device is programmed to normal operation, the oscillator buffer, RF prescaler, phase detector, and charge pump circuits are all powered on. The feedback divider and the reference divider are
held at the load point. This allows the RF prescaler, feedback
divider, reference oscillator, the reference divider and prescaler circuitry to reach proper bias levels. After a 1.5 µs
delay, the feedback and reference divider are enabled and
they resume counting in “close” alignment (The maximum
error is one prescaler cycle). The MICROWIRE control register remains active and capable of loading and latching in
data while in the power-down mode.
The synchronous power-down function is gated by the
charge pump. When the device is configured for synchronous power-down, the device will enter the power-down
mode upon the completion of the next charge pump pulse
event.
The asynchronous power-down function is NOT gated by the
completion of a charge pump pulse event. When the device

into power-down mode immediately.
3.0 Programming Description
3.1 MICROWIRE INTERFACE
The MICROWIRE interface is comprised of a 22-bit shift register and three control registers. The shift register consists of a 20-bit
DATA field and a 2-bit address (ADDR) field as shown below. Data is loaded into the shift register on the rising edges of the
CLOCK signal MSB first. When Latch Enable transitions HIGH, data stored in the shift register is loaded into either the R, N or
T register depending on the state of the ADDR bit. The DATA field assignments for the R, N and T registers are shown in Section
3.1.1.

When the Fastlock Timeout counter (TO_CNTR) is loaded with 0, Fastlock is off, the FL pin will be in TRI-STATE mode, and the
charge pump current will be the value specified by the Charge Pump Magnitude bit, R[18]. When the Timeout counter is loaded
with 1, the FL pin is 0 (pulled low) and the charge pump current will be at the 4X state. When the Timeout counter is loaded with
2, the FL pin will again be set to 0 (pulled low), but the charge pump current will be controlled by R[18]. When the Timeout counter
is loaded with 3, the FL pin is 1 (pulled high) with the charge pump current will be controlled by R[18]. When loaded with 4 through
4095, Fastlock is active and will time-out after the specified number of phase detector events.
