SP8861
1·3GHz Low Power Single-Chip Frequency Synthesiser
Supersedes version in the1996 Professional Products IC Handbook, HB2480 - 3.0 DS3640 - 4.0 April 1998
The SP8861 is a low power single chip synthesiser intended for professional radio applications, containing all the elements (apart from the loop amplifier) required to build a PLL frequency synthesis loop
The device is serially programmable by a three-wire data highway and contains three independent buffers to store one reference divider word and two local oscillator divider words. A digital phase detector with two charge pumps, programmable in phase and gain, are provided to improve lock-up performance. The preset operation of the charge pumps can be overwritten or the comparison frequencies switched to output ports under control of the divider word. The dual modulus ratio and so operating range is also programmable through the same word.
A power down mode is incorporated as a battery economy feature.

DESCRIPTION Prescaler and AM Counter
The programmable divider chain is of AM counter design
and therefore contains a dual modulus front end prescaler, an
A
counter which controls the dual modulus ratio and an
M
counter which controls the bulk multi-modulus division. A programmable divider of this type has a division ratio of
MN1A
and a minimum integer steppable division ratio
of N(N21).
In the SP8861, the dual modulus front end prescaler is a
dual
N
ratio device, capable of being statically switched between 416/17 and 48/9 ratios. The controlling A counter is of four-bit design, allowing a maximum count sequence of 15
4
(2
21), which begins with the start of the M counter sequence and stops when it has counted by the pre-loaded number of cycles. While the A counter is counting, the dual modulus prescaler is held in the
N
11 mode then reverts to the N mode
at the completion of the sequence.
The
M
counter is a 15-bit asynchronous divider which
counts with a ratio set by a control word. In both A and
M
counters the controlling data from the F1/F2 buffer is loaded in sequence with every
M
count cycle. The N ratio of the dual modulus prescaler is selected by a one-bit word in the reference divider buffer and, when when a ratio of 48/9 is selected, the A counter requires only three programming bits, having an impact on the frequency bit allocation as described in the data entry section.
Reference Source and Divider
The reference source in the SP8861 is obtained from an on-chip oscillator which is frequency controlled by an external crystal. The oscillator can also function as a buffer amplifier to allow the use of an external reference source. In this mode, the source is simply AC-coupled into the oscillator transistor base on pin 20.
The oscillator output is coupled to a programmable reference counter (
R
) whose output is the reference for the phase detector. The reference divider is a fully programmable 13-bit asynchronous design and can be set to any division ratio between 1 and 8191. The actual division ratio is controlled by a data word stored in the internal reference buffer.
Phase Detector
The SP8861 contains a digital phase detector which feeds two charge pump circuits. Charge pump 1 has preset currents which are programmble as shown in Table 1. Charge pump 2 has a current level set by an external resistor RPD; the current is multiplied by a factor which is determined by bits G1 and G2 of the F1 or F2 word (see Table 1). Note that charge pump 2 current is pin 24 current 3 muliplication factor, where

A lock detect circuit is connected to the output of charge pump 2. when the voltage level at pin 25 is between approximately 2·25V and 2·75V, LOCK DETECT (pin 27) will be low and charge pump 1 disabled, depending on the PD1 and PD2 programming bits as shown in Table 4.

To allow for control direction changes introduced by the design of the control loop, a control bit in the F1/F2 programming word interchanges the inputs to the on-chip phase detector and reverses the functions on pins 4 and 5 (see Table 2).

Data Entry and Storage
The data section of the SP8861 consists of a data input
interface, a data shift register and three data buffers.
Data is entered to the data input interface via a three-wire highway, with DATA (pin 24), CLOCK (pin 15) and ENABLE (pin16) inputs. The input interface routes the data into a 24­bit shift register with bus connections to three data buffers. Data entered via the serial bus is transferred to the appropriate data buffer on the negative transition of the data enable input according to the two final data bits C1 and C2 as shown in Table 3. The MSB of the data is entered first.

The dual F1/F2 buffer can receive two 22-bit words and controls the programmable divider A and M counters using 19 bits, the phase detector gain with two bits and the phase detector sense with one bit. A fourth input from the synthesiser control system selects the active buffer.
The third buffer contains only 16 bits, 13 being used to set the reference divider division ratio and 2 to control the phase detector enable logic. The remaining bit sets the dual modulus prescaler
sequence and the shift register can be updated whils the data buffers retain control of the synthesiser with the previously loaded data. This enables four unique data words to be stored in the device, with three in the data buffers and a fourth in the shift register, while the chip is enabled. The F1 word may also be updated while F2 is controlling the programmable divider and vice-versa.

DESCRIPTION
SP8861
A basic application using a single phase detector is shown in Fig. 6a. The SP8861 is a 1·3GHz part so good RF design techniques should be employed, including the use of a ground plane and suitable high frequency capacitors at the RF input and for power supply decoupling.
The RF input should be coupled to either pin 10 or pin 11, with the other pin decoupled to ground. The reference oscillator is of conventional Colpitts type, with two capacitors required to provide a low impedance tap for the feedback signal to the transistor emitter. Typical values are shown in Fig. 6a, although these may be varied to suit the loading requirements of particular crystals. Where a suitable reference signal already exists or where a very stable source is required, it is possible to apply an external reference as shown in Fig. 6b. The amplitude should be kept below 0·5Vrms to avoid forward biasing the transistor’s collector-base junction.
Lock Detect and Charge Pump Operation
In some systems, it is useful to have an indication of phase lock. This function is provided on pin 27 (LOCK DETECT), which goes low when the output of charge pump 2 (PD2) is between 2·25V and 2·75V and can be used to drive an LED to give visual indication of phase lock. Alternatively, a pullup resistor may be connected from pin 27 to V used to signal to the control microprocessor that the loop is locked, thus speeding up system operation. The output current available from pin 27 is limited to 1·5mA; if this is exceeded, the logic low level will be uncertain.
The circuit diagram of Fig. 6a is a basic application with minimum component count but which is neverthless perfectly adequate for many applications. Charge pump 1 output (pin3) is used to drive the loop amplifier which provides the control voltage for the VCO. When charge pump 1 is used in this mode, the PD1 and PD2 bits in the reference programming word must be set to enable charge pump 1 continuously (see Table 4). This application could also use charge pump 2 output (pin 25) or, if a higher phase detectot gain is required, pins 3 and 25 could be connected in parallel to use the combined output current from both charge pumps.
The lock detect circuit can be programmed to automatically disable charge pump 1 as shown in Table 4. This feature can be used to reduce the system lock up time by connecting the charge pump outputs in parallel to the loop amplifier with resistor Rb connected in series with charge pump 2 output. This connection allows a relatively high current to be used from charge pump 1 to give a short lock up time, and a low charge pump 2 current to be set to give low reference frequency sidebands. The degree of lock up time improvement depends on the ratio of charge pump 1 and charge pump 2 currents.
When the loop is out of lock, both charge pumps will be enabled and will feed current to the loop amplifier to bring the VCO to phase lock. The current from charge 2 will produce a voltage drop across Rb, allowing operation of the lock detect circuit and enabling charge pump 1. The value of Rb must be chosen to give a voltage drop greater than 0·25V at the current level programmed for charge pump 2. When phase lock is achieved, there will be no charge pump current and therefore the voltage at pin 25 will be equal to that on the virtual earth point of the loop amplifier (2·5V), disabling charge pump 1.
and the output
CC
Charge pump 1 should not be left open circuit when enabled as this would prevent correct operation of the phase detector. The output on pin 3 should be biased to half supply with a pair of 4·7kΩ resistors connected across supplies.
When charge pump 2 is used to drive the loop amplifier, the lock detect circuit will only give an out of lock indication when large frequency changes are made or when a frequency outside the range of the VCO is programmed. at other times the loop amplifier is maintained at 2·5V by the action of the loop filter components. Again, a resistor connected between pin 25 and the loop amplifier, producing a voltage drop greater than 0·25V at the charge current programmed will allow sensitive out of lock detection.
When phase lock detection is required using charge pump 1 only, charge pump 2 output should be biased to 2·5V, using two equal value resistors, Ra, across the supply as shown in Fig. 6c. A small capacitor, Cd, connected frompin 28 to ground may be used to reduce chatter at the lock detect output. A detailed block diagram of the lock detect circuit is shown in Fig. 3.
Choice of Loop Amplifier
The loop amplifier converts the charge pump current pulses into a voltage of a magnitude suitable for driving the chosen VCO. The choice of amplifier is determined by the voltage swing required at the VCO to achieve the necessary range. In most cases, an operational amplifier will be used to provide the essential characteristcs of high input impedance, high gain and low output impedance required in this application. A simple discrete design could also be used as shown in Fig. 6d. This arrangement can be particularly useful where the minimum VCO control voltage must be close to ground and where negative supplies are inconvenient. This form of amplifier is not suitable for use with charge pump 2 when the lock detect circuit is required.
When an operational amplifier is used in the inverting configuration shown in Fig. 6a, the charge pump output is connected directly to the virtual earth point and will therefore operate a a voltage close to that set on the non-inverting input. Normally, this operating point should be set at half supply using a potential divider of two equal value resistors, Rx, but if necessary the voltage can be set up to 1V higher or lower without detrimental effect. When the lock detect function is required on charge pump 2 however, the non-inverting input must be at half supply.
The digital phase detector and charge pump in the SP8861 produces bi-directional current pulses in order to correct errors between the reference and the VCO divider outputs. Once synchronisation is achieved, in theory no further output from the charge pump should be required. In practice, due to leakage currents and particularly the input current of the amplifier, the capacitors in the loop filter will gradually discharge, modifying the VCO control voltage and requiring further outputs from the charge pump to restore the charge. The effect of this continuous correction is to frequency modulate the VCO frequency and thus produce sidebands at the reference frequency. In order to reduce this effect to a minimum, an amplifier with low input bias is essential.

LOOP CALCULATIONS
Example
Calculate values for a second order loop with the following
Many frequency synthesiser designs use a second order
loop with a loop filter of the form shown in Fig. 9.
In practice, an additional RC time constant (shown dashed in Fig. 9) is often added to reduce noise from the amplifier. In addition, any feedthrough capacitor or local decoupling at the VCO will be added to the value of
C
. These additional
2
components in fact form a third order loop and, if the values are chosen correctly, the additional filtering provided can considerably reduce the level of reference frequency sidebands and noise without adversely affecting the loop settling time.
The calculations of values for both types of loop are shown below.
Second Order Loop
For this filter, two equations are required to determine the time constants

The SP8861 phase detector is a current source rather than a conventional voltage source and has a gain factor specified in µA/radian. Since the equations deal with a filter where is feeding the virtual earth point of an operational amplifier from a voltage source, similar to the circuit shown in Fig. 10 – where a current source phase detector is connected directly to the virtual earth point of the operational amplifier.
The equivalent voltage gain of the phase detector can be calculated by assuming a value for in V/radian which would produce the set current.
The digital phase detector used in the SP8861 is linear over a range of 2 gain is given by:
For
R
= 1kΩ and assuming a value of phase detector current
1
of 50µA, the phase detector gain is therefore:

Third Order Loop
The third order loop is normally as shown in Fig. 11. Fig. 12 shows the circuit redrawn to use an RC time constant after the amplifier, allowing any feedthrough capacitance on the VCO line to be included in the loop calculations. Where the modified form in Fig. 12 is used, it is advantageous to connect a small capacitor
