2.7GHz 3-Wire Bus Controlled Frequency Synthesiser
Advance Information
Supersedes October 1996 Media IC Handbook HB3923-2DS4064 - 4.1 March 1998
The SP5658 is a single chip frequency synthesiser
designed for tuning systems up to 2.7GHz.
The RF preamplifer contains a divide by two prescaler
which can be disabled for applications up to 2GHz so enabling
a step size equal to the comparison frequency up to 2GHz and
twice the comparison frequency up to 2.7GHz.
Comparison frequencies are obtained either from a crystal
controlled on–chip oscillator or from an external source.
The device contains two switching ports, in the 14 pin
version and four in the 16 pin, together with an ‘‘in–lock” flag
output. The device also contains a varactor line disable and
charge pump disable facility.

The SP5658 contains all the elements necessary, with the
exception of a frequency reference, loop filter and external
high voltage transistor, to control a varicap tuned local
oscillator, so forming a complete PLL frequency synthesised
source. The device allows for operation with a high
comparison frequency and is fabricated in high speed logic,
which enables the generation of a loop with good phase noise
performance. The RF preamplifier contains a selectable
divide by two for operation above 2.0GHz. Up to 2GHz the RF
input interfaces directly with the programmable divider, so
eliminating degradation in phase noise due to the prescaler
action. The block diagram is shown in Fig.2.
The SP5658 is controlled by a standard 3–wire bus
comprising data, clock and enable inputs. The programming
word for the 16 pin variant contains 28 bits, four of which are
used for port selection, 18 to set the programmable divider
ratio and enable/disable the prescaler, bit DE, three bits to
select the reference division ratio, bits R0–R2, one bit to set
charge pump current, bit C0, and the remaining two bits to
access test modes, bit T0, and to disable the varactor drive,
bit OS. The data word for 14 pin variant is identical to 16 pin
except 26 bits only are required, two of which are used for port
selection. The programming format is shown in Fig. 3.
The clock input is disabled by an enable low signal, data
is therefore only clocked into the internal shift registers during
an enable high and is loaded into the controlling buffers by an
enable high to low transition. This load is also synchronised
with the programmable divider so giving smooth fine tuning.
The RF signal is fed to an internal preamplifier, which
provides gain and reverse isolation from the divider signals.
The output of the preamplifier is fed to the 2/1 selectable
prescaler and then to the 17 bit fully programmable divider,
which is of MN+A architecture. The M counter is 13 bit and the
A counter 4. If bit DE is set to a 0 the prescaler is disabled; Note
that the control function DE cannot be used dynamically.
The output of the programmable divider is fed to the phase
comparator where it is compared in both phase and frequency
domain with the comparison frequency. This frequency is
derived either from the on board crystal controlled oscillator or
from an external source. In both cases the reference
frequency is divided down to the comparison frequency by the
reference divider which is programmable into 1 of 8 ratios as
described in Table 1.
The output of the phase comparator feeds the charge
pump and loop amplifier section, which when used with an
external high voltage transistor and loop filter integrates the
current pulses into the varactor line voltage. The charge pump
can be disabled to a high impedance state by the DISABLE
input. The varactor drive output can also be disabled by the OS
bit within the data word, so switching the external transistor
‘OFF’ and allowing an external voltage to be written to the
varactor line for tuner alignment purposes.
The phase comparator also drives the lock detect circuit
which generates a lock flag. ‘In–lock’ is indicated by a high
impedance state on the lock output.
The programmable divider output divided by 2, F pd /2 and
the comparison frequency, F comp can be switched to ports P0
and P1 respectively by switching the device into test mode.
The test modes are described in Table 2.

The high 2.7GHz maximum operating frequency and
excellent noise characteristics of the SP5658 enables the
construction of double conversion high IF tuners.
A typical system shown in Fig.7 will use the SP5658 as the
first LO control for full band upconversion to an IF of greater
than 1GHz. The wide range of reference division ratios allows
the SP5658 to be used both for the up converter LO with a high
phase comparator frequency (hence low phase noise) and the
down converter which utilises the device in a lower
comparison frequency mode (which offers a fine step size).

A generic set of application notes AN168 for designing
with synthesisers such as the SP5658 has been written. This
covers aspects such as loop filter design and decoupling. This
application note is also featured in the Media IC Handbook.
A generic test/demo board has been produced which can
be used for the SP5658. A circuit diagram and layout for the
board is shown in Figs. 8 and 9.

The board can be used for the following purposes:
(A) measuring RF sensitivity performance.
(B) Indicating port function.
(C) Synthesising a voltage controlled oscillator.
(D) Testing of external reference sources.

SP5658
LOOP BANDWIDTH
The majority of applications for which the SP5658 is
intended require a loop filter bandwidth of between 2kHz and
10kHz.
Typically the VCO phase noise will be specified at both
1kHz and10kHz offset. It is common practice to arrange the
loop filter bandwidth such that the 1kHz figure lies within the
loop bandwidth. Thus the phase noise depends on the
synthesiser comparator noise floor, rather than the VCO.
The 10kHz offset figure should depend on the VCO
providing the loop is designed correctly, and is not
underdamped.
REFERENCE SOURCE
The SP5658 offers optimal LO phase noise performance
when operated with a large step size. This is due to the fact that
the LO phase noise within the loop bandwidth is:
phase comparator
noise floor + 20 log
Assuming the phase comparator noise floor is flat irrespective
of sampling frequency, this means that the best performance
will be achieved when the overall LO to phase comparator
division ratio is a minimum.
There are two ways of achieving a higher phase
comparator sampling frequency:–
A) Reduce the division ratio between the reference source
and the phase comparator
B) use a higher reference source frequency.
Approach B) may be preferred for best performance since it is
possible that the noise floor of the reference oscillator may
degrade the phase comparator performance if the reference
division ratio is very small.
