GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The UAA2068AHL BiCMOS device integrates a 950 MHz
VCO, a frequency doubler, main and reference dividers
and a phase comparator, to implement a phase-locked
loop for DECT channel frequencies. The 1.9 GHz signal is
buffered and switched, in TX mode, to drive the transmit
power amplifier (CGY20xx series) or, in RX mode, to be
used as an LO signal for the receiver mixer IC
(UAA3540TS).

UAA2068AHL

The reference divider ratio is fixed at 16. Outputs of the
main and reference dividers drive a phase comparator
where a charge pump produces phase error current pulses
for integration in an external loop filter. Only a passive loop
filter is necessary. The charge-pump current (phase
comparator gain) is set by an external resistor (R
R

.

SET

The VCO is powered from an internally regulated voltage
source and includes internal varicap diodes. Its tuning
range is wider than the required band to allow for
production spreads. In a Time Division Multiple Access
(TDMA) system such as DECT, the VCO and the
synthesizer are switched on one slot before the required
one to lock the VCO to the required channel frequency.
Just before the required slot, the synthesizer is switched
off, allowing open-loop modulation of the VCO during
transmission. When opening the loop, the frequency
pulling (due to switching off the synthesizer) can be
maintained within the DECT specification.

The device is designed to operate from 3 NiCd cells in
pocket phones, with low current and nominal 3.6 V
supplies. Separate power and ground pins are provided to
the different parts of the circuit. The ground leads should
be short-circuited externally to prevent large currents
flowing across the die and thus causing damage.
All supply pins (VCC) must also be at the same potential,
except V
other supply pins (e.g. VCC= 3 V and V
wider VCO control voltage range).

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Transmit chain

BUFFER AND FREQUENCY DOUBLER

VCO,
The VCO operates at a nominal centre frequency of

950 MHz. The VCO is fully integrated apart from two
inductors which complete the resonator network. The VCO
operates from an on-chip regulated power supply (V

REG

which minimizes frequency disturbances due to variations
in supply voltage. The buffered VCO signal is fed into a
frequency doubler. The large difference between the
transmitted and VCO frequencies reduces transmitter
oscillator coupling problems.

The output of the doubler is used to drive the synthesizer
main divider and can also be switched to either the TX
preamplifier or the RX LO output buffer. The high isolation
obtained from the VCO buffer and the frequency doubler
ensures that very small frequency changes occur when
turning on the TX preamplifier or the RX LO output buffer.
In TX mode, the oscillator can be directly modulated with
GMSK filtered data at pin V

MOD

.

RF SWITCH
The RF switch passes the doubled VCO signal to either

the TX preamplifier (when T_EN is HIGH) or to the RX LO
buffer (when T_EN is LOW). In TX mode, the difference in
the RF power levels, observed at the TX output when
T_EN is switched from LOW-to-HIGH, is typically 40 dB.

TX

),

PREAMPLIFIER

The TX preamplifier amplifies the RF signal up to a level of
3 dBm which is suitable for use with Philips
Semiconductors DECT power amplifiers such as the
CGY20xx series. It is powered-up when both R_OFF and
VCO_ON are HIGH.

RX LO

BUFFER

The RX LO buffer outputs the frequency doubled VCO
signal at a level of −14 dBm. This signal can then be used
as the local oscillator drive for the receive mixers of
devices such as the UAA3540TS. The buffer is
powered-up when R_OFF is LOW and VCO_ON is HIGH.

AIN DIVIDER

M
The main divider is clocked by the RF signal from the

internal frequency doubler. The divider operates at
frequencies from 1880 to 1920 MHz. It consists of a
bipolar prescaler followed by a CMOS counter. Any main
divider ratio from 2176 to 2303 inclusive can be
programmed.

EFERENCE DIVIDER

R
The reference divider is clocked by the signal at pin XTAL.

The circuit operates with levels from 50 to 500 mV (RMS)
at a frequency of 13.824 MHz, with a fixed divider ratio
of 16.

HASE COMPARATOR

P
The phase comparator is driven by the output of the main

and reference dividers. It produces current pulses at the
charge-pump output (pin CP). The pulse duration is equal
to the difference in time of arrival of the edges from the two
dividers. If the main divider edge arrives first, pin CP sinks
current; if the reference divider edge arrives first, pin CP
sources current. The DC value of the charge-pump current
is nominally ten times the current drawn by the external
resistor connected to pin R
included to ensure that the gain of the phase detector
remains linear even for small phase errors.

The charge pump has a separate supply, V
helps to reduce the interference on the charge-pump
output from other parts of the circuit. V

UAA2068AHL

For the divider ratio, the first bit (b6) entered is the most
significant (MSB).

S_EN must be LOW to capture new programming data.
S_EN must be HIGH to switch-on the synthesizer.

Operating modes

The synthesizer is on when the input signal S_EN is HIGH,
and off when S_EN is LOW. When turned on, the dividers
and phase detector are synchronized to avoid a random
initial phase error. When turned off, the phase detector is
synchronized with the dividers to avoid interrupting a
charge-pump pulse.

The VCO is on when the input signal VCO_ON is HIGH.
The polarity of VCO_ON is chosen for compatibility with
output S_PWR at the ABC chip. When turned on, it needs
some time (typically 30 µs) to reach its steady state.

The TX preamplifier is on when both R_OFF and VCO_ON
are HIGH. The polarity of R_OFF is chosen for
compatibility with output R_PWR at the ABC chip. When
turned on, it needs some time (typically 10 µs) to reach its
steady state. In transmit mode, the timing of the R_OFF
LOW-to-HIGH transition can be chosen such that the TX
preamplifier is turned on while the synthesizer loop
remains closed thus avoiding frequency pulling of the
VCO. In the receive mode, depending on the exact timing
of R_OFF compared to VCO_ON, the TX preamplifier can
be switched on at the beginning of the previous slot, but is
switched off when R_OFF goes LOW; this occurs when
the synthesizer loop is closed. The LO output amplifier is
turned on when R_OFF is LOW and VCO_ON is HIGH.

The UAA2068AHL has a very low current consumption in
Power-down mode.

Serial programming bus

A simple 3-line unidirectional serial bus is used to program
the circuit. These 3 lines are data (DATA), clock (CLK) and
enable (S_EN). The data sent to the device is loaded in
bursts framed by S_EN. Programming clock edges and
their appropriate data bits are ignored until S_EN goes
active LOW. The programmed information is read directly
by the main divider when S_EN returns HIGH. During
synthesizer operation, S_EN should be kept HIGH.
In normal operating mode, the last 16 bits serially clocked
into the device are retained within the register. Additional
leading bits are ignored, and no check is made on the
number of clock pulses. The data format is given in
Table 2. The first bit entered is b15, the last bit is b0.

SOLDERING
Introduction to soldering surface mount packages

This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology.
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in

“Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages”

our
(document order number 9398 652 90011).

There is no soldering method that is ideal for all surface
mount IC packages. Wave soldering is not always suitable
for surface mount ICs, or for printed-circuit boards with
high population densities. In these situations reflow
soldering is often used.

Reflow soldering

Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of
fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be applied
to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement.

Several methods exist for reflowing; for example,
infrared/convection heating in a conveyor type oven.
Throughput times (preheating, soldering and cooling) vary
between 100 and 200 seconds depending on heating
method.

Typical reflow peak temperatures range from
215 to 250 °C. The top-surface temperature of the
packages should preferable be kept below 230 °C.

Wave soldering

Conventional single wave soldering is not recommended
for surface mount devices (SMDs) or printed-circuit boards
with a high component density, as solder bridging and
non-wetting can present major problems.

To overcome these problems the double-wave soldering
method was specifically developed.

UAA2068AHL

If wave soldering is used the following conditions must be
observed for optimal results:

• Use a double-wave soldering method comprising a
turbulent wave with high upward pressure followed by a
smooth laminar wave.

• For packages with leads on two sides and a pitch (e):
– larger than or equal to 1.27 mm, the footprint

longitudinal axis is preferred to be parallel to the
transport direction of the printed-circuit board;

– smaller than 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis

must be parallel to the transport direction of the
printed-circuit board.

The footprint must incorporate solder thieves at the
downstream end.

• For packages with leads on four sides, the footprint must
be placed at a 45° angle to the transport direction of the
printed-circuit board. The footprint must incorporate
solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.

During placement and before soldering, the package must
be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. The adhesive can be
applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the
adhesive is cured.

Typical dwell time is 4 seconds at 250 °C.
A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal
of corrosive residues in most applications.

Manual soldering

Fix the component by first soldering two
diagonally-opposite end leads. Use a low voltage (24 V or
less) soldering iron applied to the flat part of the lead.
Contact time must be limited to 10 seconds at up to
300 °C.

When using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be
soldered in one operation within 2 to 5 seconds between
270 and 320 °C.
