Description
The Hewlett-Packard HPMX-5002
IF Modulator/Demodulator
provides all of the active components necessary for the demodulation of a downconverted DECT
signal. Designed specifically for
DECT, the HPMX-5002 contains a
down-conversion mixer (to a 2nd
IF), limiting amplifier chain,
discriminator/data slicer, lock
detector, and RSSI circuits. The
LO2 generation is also included
on-chip, via a VCO, dividers, and
phase/frequency detector. The
divide ratios are programmable to
support reference frequencies of
either 9, 12, or 16 times the DECT
bit rate of 1.152␣ MHz allowing the
use of common, low cost crystals.
The LO2 VCO can also be utilized in
transmit mode by directly modulating the external VCO tank. An AGC
loop in the buffered VCO output
suppresses harmonics and reduces
signal level variability.
Applications
• DECT, Unlicensed PCS and
ISM Band Handsets,
Basestations and Wireless
LANs
7-105
The HPMX-5002 is designed to meet
the size and power demands of
portable applications. Battery cell
count and cost are reduced due to
the 2.7 V minimum supply voltage.
The TQFP-48 package, combined
with the high level of integration,
means smaller footprints and fewer
components. Flexible chip biasing
takes full advantage of the power
savings inherent in time-duplexed
systems such as DECT.

Modes of Operation
The HPMX-5002 supports four
basic modes of operation. The logic
states necessary to program each
mode are listed in Table 1, Mode
Programming. The modes are:
biased and operational. In order
to use the LO2 VCO as a modulation source, it is necessary to first
program the HPMX-5002 in PLL
mode. Once the loop has achieved
lock, the PLL is then disabled by
setting the PLL pin to a logic 0.
Receive mode (RX),
which is used during the receive
time slot in DECT systems. All
blocks are powered on in this
mode.
This puts the VCO into “flywheel”
operation, preventing the PLL
from interfering with the modulation of the VCO. Leakage in the
tank circuit shown in Figure 3
allows the VCO to drift at a rate of
LO2 synthesis mode (PLL),
which enables the IC to achieve
2.5 kHz per mS, well within the
DECT specs of 13 kHz per mS.

receive signal path, thus saving
power. This is very useful for
DECT blind-slot applications.

Detailed Circuit
Description
PLL Section
The PLL section of the
HPMX-5002 contains three major
sections: a set of reference and
LO2 dividers, a phase/frequency
detector with charge pump, and a
lock detector.
The dividers for both the reference and LO2 signals in the PLL
section are programmable to
accomodate the most popular
DECT reference frequencies and
also to enable the use of higher
1st IF frequencies if desired.

Figure␣ 3 illustrates the logic states
necessary to program both the
reference and LO2 dividers.
The reference divider ratios were
selected to conform to the three
most popular DECT reference
frequencies of 10.368 MHz,
13.824␣ MHz, and 18.432 MHz. The
LO2 divider values allow the use
of either a 110.592 MHz or
112.32␣ MHz 1st IF with a divide
value of 90 (which yields a LO2 of
103.68 MHz). In addition, the
divide by 216 value permits the
use of a much higher 1st IF
(222.91␣ MHz, with a corresponding LO2 of 248.832 MHz), which
enables the use of much smaller
SAW filters and relaxes the image
filtering requirements.
The phase/frequency detector also
incorporates a lock detection
feature. The user must supply a
decoupling capacitor (recommended value of 1 nF) from the
LKFIL pin to ground. If the loop is
not in phase lock, the LKDET pin
will sink up to 1 mA. This open
collector output is utilized so that
this signal can be wire-ORed with
other lock detection circuits, such
as from the 1LO portion of the
system. The pullup resistor can
also be tied to the CMOS positive
supply, thus eliminating potential
problems with CMOS logic high
voltages when different positive
supplies are used between the
radio and the baseband processor.
When the PLL loop phase error is
less than approximately 0.3␣ radians, the LKDET current sink goes
to zero.
VCO Section
The VCO section has two major
components, a sustaining amplifier and a buffered external
output. The sustaining amplifer is
designed to be used with an
external tank circuit, and incorporates a force (VCOA) and sense
(VCOB) architecture to reduce the
effects of package parasitics. As
described earlier, the VCOB pin
may be overdriven by an external
LO, in which case the on-chip
sustaining amplifier acts as a
buffer stage before the
downconverting mixer.
The buffered external output is a
differential signal (OSCOP,
OSCOPB). The buffer also
incorporates an AGC loop in order
to provide a sinusoidal output
signal with constant amplitude
which is insensitive to variations
in tank Q and loading. This helps
to suppress harmonics and
eliminates therefore the need for
an upconversion filter if the
HPMX-5002 is used in a system
together with the 2.5 GHz
upconverter/downconverter
HPMX-5001. The AGC requires an
external compensation capacitor
(recommended value 1 nF) from
the AGC pin to ground.
Signal Path
The input to the HPMX-5002 is an
AC-coupled IF signal (IP1). The
input buffer before the
downconverting mixer requires a
decoupling capacitor from the
IPDC pin to ground (recommended value 10 pF).
The buffered input is then mixed
with the LO2, and the output of
the mixer (IF1) drives an off-chip
bandpass filter centered at the IF2
frequency (6.9 MHz for a 110.592
MHz 1IF). The filtered signal is
then fed to the IFIP1 pin, which is
the input to the limiting amplifier
chain. The limiting amplifier
requires two external decoupling
capacitors from pins DC1A and
DC1B to ground (recommended
value 10 nF).
The limiting amplifier chain also
feeds the Received Signal Strength
Indicator (RSSI) block. The RSSI
signal is monotonic over a 75 dB
dynamic range, and in its linear
range varies at 17 mV/dB. The
RSSI signal is designed to be
digitized by the CMOS burst mode
controller.
The output of the limiting amplifier (IFOP1) drives the discriminator circuit. This signal is fed
directly to one of the input ports
of a Gilbert cell mixer, and it also
drives an external quadrature
network (with a recommended Q
of 8 for optimum performance).
The output of the external quadrature network is then fed into the
other input port of the Gilbert cell
(via the DMOD pin). The output
of the Gilbert cell is taken at the
DMODOP pin, which drives an
external lowpass filter. To aid in
the construction of the filter, a
buffer stage is included on-chip.
The BUF1 pin is the noninverting
input of the buffer, and BUF2 is
the output, which is also connected to the input of the data
slicer.
The data slicer operates on a dual
time constant architecture,
controlled via the TCSET pin.
During the preamble portion of a
DECT timeslot (with TCSET set to
1), the data slicer quickly acquires
the midpoint voltage of the
incoming data stream, correcting
any DC offsets that may have
occurred due to frequency deviations within the DECT specification. The value of this initial time
constant is determined by an
external capacitor connected
between TCNT and ground. A
10␣ nF capacitor allows the accurate acquisition of the midpoint
voltage within half of the 16-bit
DECT preamble.
7-112
Once the midpoint voltage has
been acquired, TCSET is then
forced to a 0, and the time constant of the midpoint voltage
tracking circuit is increased by a
factor of 80. This effectively
freezes the midpoint voltage from
any variations due to normal data
transitions, but still allows for
some correction of frequency
drifts during the data burst.
The output of the data slicer
(DATOP) is a CMOS-compatible
bitstream. However, it is recommended that an external NPN
amplifier stage be used to drive
the CMOS baseband processor, in
order to minimize the amount of
ground and supply currents in the
HPMX-5002 which might desensitize the chip.
