QPSK transmitter TDA8050

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The I and Q are balanced analog signals at a level of
400 mV (p-p). These are mixed by two double balanced
mixers with the output signal generated by a first local
oscillator providing the modulated signal.

The modulated signal is then filtered by an IF filter. This
filteredsignal together with asignalgenerated by asecond
local oscillator is converted by a balanced mixer to
produce the QPSK signal.

TheQPSK signal isamplified by again controlled amplifier
to a level suitable for transmission. The gain of the
controlled amplifier is buscontrolled and this amplifier can
be disabled when not transmitting to provide signal
attenuation.

The amplified signal is applied to an on-chip amplifier
having two balanced outputs (open collector) linked totwo
chip resistors (values 150 Ω), and 9 V. The balanced
outputs are designed to drive a 2 : 1 transformer
(Siemens V944) with a 75 Ω load giving an output level
of 55 dBmV.The output frequencyrange of the transmitter
is 5 to 40 MHz.

The frequency of the first local oscillator operates at twice
the frequency (i.e. 280 MHz) fixed by a Phase-Locked
Loop (PLL) implemented in the circuit.

Thefrequencyof the second localoscillatoroperatesin the
bandwidth 145 to 180 MHz and programmable due to a
PLL implemented in the circuit.

The VCO of both first and secondlocal oscillatorsrequires
an external LC tank circuit with two varicap diodes.

The data to the PLL is loaded in bursts framed by the
signal EN. Programming rising clock edges and their
appropriate data bits are ignored until EN goes active
(LOW). The internal latches are updated with the latest
programming data when EN returns inactive (HIGH).
The last 14 bits are stored in the programming register.

No check is made on the number of clock pulses received
during the time programming is enabled. A wrong active

clock edge will be generated causing a shift of data
bits, if EN goes HIGH while CLK is still LOW. At power

up, EN should beHIGH. The lock detector output LOCK is
HIGH when both PLLs are in lock.

The main divider ratio and the reference divider ratios are
provided via the serial bus. A control register controls the
Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), the output amplifier
and the charge pump currents (Tables 1, 2 and 3).

LIMITING VALUES

In accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 134).
