GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The UAA3522HL integrates the receiver and most of the
transmitter section of a GSM hand-held transceiver. Italso
integrates the receiver IF and the transmitter section of a
DCS transceiver.
The receiver comprises an RF and an IF section. The RF
(GSM) front-end amplifies the aerial signal, converts the
chosen channel frequency to an IF of 200 MHz, and also
provides more than 30 dB of image suppression. Some
selectivityisprovided at this stage by an off-chip bandpass
pre-filter. The IF section further amplifies the chosen
channel, maintains the gain at the required level,
demodulates the signal into I and Q components, and
provides channel selectivity at a baseband stage using
a high performance integrated low-pass filter. The IF gain
can be varied over a range of more than 60 dB. The offset
at the I and Q outputs can be cancelled out by software
using the 3-wire serial programming bus.
UAA3522HL
The input Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) can be switched off
via the bus to allow accurate calibration in the offset
cancellation mode.
The transmitter comprises a high precision I/Q modulator
and modulation loop architecture. The I/Q modulator
converts the baseband modulation frequency to the
transmit IF. The modulation loop architecture, which
includes an on-chip offset mixer and phase detector,
controls an external transmit RF VCO which converts the
transmit modulated IF signal to RF.
A receive RF VCO provides the Local Oscillator (LO)
signal to the image rejection mixers in the RF receiver.
An IF VCO provides the LO signal to the I/Q demodulator
and I/Q modulator in the receiver and transmitter sections
respectively.
The frequencies of theRF VCO and the IF VCO are set by
internal PLL circuits, which are programmable via the
3-wire serial bus. The RF and IF PLL comparison
frequencies are 200 kHz and 1 MHz respectively, derived
from a 13 MHz reference signal which has to be supplied
externally. The quadrature RF LO signals required by the
image rejection mixers are obtained using on-chip
Resistor Capacitor (RC) networks. The quadrature IF LO
signalsrequiredbytheI/Q modulator and I/Q demodulator
are obtained by dividing the frequency of the IF VCO
signal.
The IC can be powered on in either receiver (RX),
transmitter (TX) or synthesizer (SYN) operating mode
depending on the logic level at pins RXON, TXON and
SYNON, respectively. Alternatively, an operating mode
can be selected by software using the 3-wire serial
programming bus. In RX or TX mode, only those sections
of the IC which are required are switched on.
The GSM or DCS band is selected by the 3-wire serial
programming bus. When activating RX mode for DCS
applications, the receiver RF section can be disabled by
software so that only the receiver IF section is
powered-on.
The SYN mode is used to power-on the synthesizer prior
to activating the RX or TX mode. In SYN mode, some
internal LO buffers are also powered-on to minimize the
‘pulling’ effect of the VCO when either the receiver or the
transmitter are switched on.

Low power dual-band GSM transceiver
with an image rejecting front-end
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
RF receiver
The receiver front-end convertsthe aerial RF signal, inthe
GSM band (925 to 960 MHz), to an IF signal of
approximately 200 MHz. The first stage of the receiver is
a symmetrical LNA that is matched to 50 Ω by an external
balun. The LNA is followed by an image rejection mixer
which suppresses the image by more than 30 dB.
It comprises two mixers in parallel driven by 0° and 90°
quadrature LO signals respectively. The IF signal from
one mixer is shifted by 90° with respect to the IF signal
from the other mixer, then both signals are added together
to cancel out the image signal. The resultant IF signal is
fed to the output via a high output impedance
open-collector stage which drives an external Surface
Acoustical Wave (SAW) filter which selects the required
channel.
I/Q demodulator
The signal from the SAW filter enters the I/Q demodulator
section. In addition to I/Q demodulation, this section
performs Automatic Gain Control (AGC) over a range of
60 dB to maintain a constant output level irrespective of
the antenna input level, and also applies additional
channel selectivity at the baseband stage using an
integrated high-order low-pass filter.
The AGC amplifier output can be adjusted for a static
offset of less than 50 mV. Its design prevents the offset
from varying by more than ±5 mV. To allow a more
accurateoffsetcalibration,theRF LNAcanbeswitchedoff
to ensure that no IF signal is present at the AGC amplifier
input during the offset measurement.
I/Q modulator
BasebandI and Q signalsareapplied to the I/Q modulator
whichshifts the modulation spectrum upto the transmit IF.
The I/Q modulator is designed for low harmonic distortion,
low carrier leakage and high image rejection to keep the
phase error as small as possible. Its IF output is loaded by
an integrated low-pass filter and by an external
LC tuned-circuit to prevent unwanted spurii from entering
the phase detector in the transmit modulation loop.
Transmit modulation loop
Theanalogtransmitmodulationloopcomprisesanon-chip
offset mixer and simple phase detector in switching mode
(triangular transfer function) forming an analog PLL with
an off-chip loop filter and transmit RF VCO.
UAA3522HL
The phase detector output transfers the modulation of the
I/Q IF signal to the off-chip transmit RF VCO making the
analog PLL act as a tracking filter. A PLL of at least
third-order is needed to meet noise requirements at
20 MHz offset from the carrier.
RF and IF LO sections
The active components required for the design of a low
noise IF VCO are provided on-chip. Pins IFLOC and
IFLOE connect the on-chip IF VCO components to an
external resonator and feedback circuit.
A divider and phase shifter divides the frequency of the
IF VCO signal by 2 and splits it into two signals having
phasesofrespectively0° and 90°whicharebothfedtothe
I/Q modulator and to the I/Q demodulator. The IF VCO
frequency is twice the IF to suppress the effects of
self-mixing and parasitic VCO modulation.
Pins TXIRFA and TXIRFAB connect an external receive
RF VCO module to the on-chip RF LO section. This
section includes a RC phase shifter which splits the
RF VCO signal into two signals having phases of
respectively 0° and 90° which are both fed to the
RX image rejection mixer.
Dual PLL
An on-chip high performance dual PLL synthesizes the
frequencies of the receive RF VCO and IF VCO signals.
Very low close-in phase noise is achieved which provides
a wide PLL bandwidth with a short settling time.
A dual programmable divider chain reduces the frequency
ofthereceiveRF and IF LO signalsto200 kHzand1 MHz
respectively.A digital phase/frequency detectorcompares
their phases to areference signal derived froman external
13 MHz clock signal. Phase error information is fed back
to both VCOs via the dual charge pump circuit which
adjusts the phase of each VCO signal by either ‘sinking’
current into, or ‘sourcing’ current from, its loop filter
capacitor, phase locking both RF and IF loops. The very
low leakage current of the dual charge pump circuit
ensures that any spurii are negligible.
Operating modes
BASIC OPERATING MODES
The circuit can be powered on in one of four operating
modesin which different partsof the device are enabled or
disabled. The four operating modes are called Idle, RX,
TX and SYN, and are selected by the hardware control
voltage level applied to pins RXON, TXON and SYNON.

The synthesizer, receiver and transmitter cannot all be on
at the same time. Table 1 shows which parts of the device
are enabled (on) or disabled (off) in each mode.

The synthesizer includes the oscillators and LO buffers
commontothereceiveand transmit sections. The receiver
includes the RF section and the I/Q demodulator. When
the receiver is on, the LNA can be switched off to allow
DC offset compensation to be performed. The RF section
canalsobeswitchedoffforDCS applications.SeeSection
“Receiver power status control”.
RECEIVER POWER STATUS CONTROL
• DC offset compensation: This feature allows the
DC offset of the receiver output to be set accurately.
When the receiver is on, the LNA can be switched off to
isolate the antenna input from the I/Q demodulator
input. The offset at the I and Q outputs can be
independently reduced to less than 50 mV by
adequately programming two 5-bit data registers,
see Table 4 “Register bit allocation”. The LNA is
switched on or off by the status of bit LNA (see Table 2).
• Disabling RF section: For DCS applications, the RF
section can be disabled in RX mode. The same
IF circuits are used for both GSM and DCS applications
to avoid duplication. For DCS applications using the
UAA2077XM, for example, the RF section of the
UAA3522HL does not have to be powered on.
The RF section is enabled or disabled by the status of
bit RF when the RX mode is activated (see Table 3).

Programming
SERIAL PROGRAMMING BUS
A simple 3-wire unidirectional serial bus is used for
programming the IC. The lines are called DATA, CLK
and EN (enable). Programming data is sent to the IC in
bursts which are separated from each other by EN.
Programming clock edges are ignored until EN goes
activeLOW.Thedataisloadedintotheaddressedregister
when EN returns inactive HIGH, and when the CLK is in
either state, without affecting the data in the register.
The register only holds the last 18 bits that are serially
clocked into the IC.
Additional leading bits are ignored, and no check is made
on the number of clock pulses received. The fully static
CMOS design uses virtually no current when the bus is
inactive.It can always accept new programming dataeven
when both synthesizers are powered-off.
DATA FORMAT
Data is loaded into the register with the most significant bit
(MSB) first. The first 14 bits are data, while the last 4 bits
are the register address. The address bits are decoded on
the rising edge of EN. This internally generates a load
pulse to store the data in the addressed register.
To ensure that data loads correctly after the device has
powered-up,ENshouldbeheldLOWandonlytakenHIGH
after the appropriate register has been loaded.
The EN pulse is inhibited during the period when data is
read by the frequency dividers to prevent divider ratio data
from being read incorrectly. This state is guaranteed by
always allowing for a minimum EN pulse width after data
transfer.

SOLDERING
Introduction to soldering surface mount packages
Thistextgivesavery brief insight to a complex technology.
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in
our
“Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages”
(document order number 9398 652 90011).
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all surface
mount IC packages. Wave soldering is not alwayssuitable
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
tothe printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencillingor
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
forsurfacemountdevices(SMDs)orprinted-circuitboards
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.
UAA3522HL
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.
• Forpackageswithleadsonfoursides,thefootprintmust
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.
