GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The UMA1020M BICMOS device integrates prescalers, programmable dividers, and phase comparators to implement two phase-locked loops. The device is designed to operate from 3 NiCd cells, in pocket phones, with low current and nominal 5 V supplies.

UMA1020M

The principal synthesizer operates at RF input frequencies up to 2.4 GHz the auxiliary synthesizer operates at 300 MHz. The auxiliary loop is intended for the first IF or to transmit offset loop-frequency settings. Each synthesizer has a fully programmable reference divider. All divider ratios are supplied via a 3-wire serial programming bus.

Separate power and ground pins are provided to the analog and digital circuits. The ground leads should be externally short-circuited to prevent large currents flowing across the die and thus causing damage. Digital supplies

must be equal to or greater than VDD (i.e. VDD= 3 V and VCC= 5 V for wider tuning range).

The principal synthesizer phase detector uses two charge pumps, one provides normal loop feedback, while the other is only active during fast mode to speed-up switching. The auxiliary loop has a separate phase detector. All charge pump currents (gain) are fixed by an external resistance at pin I filters are used; the charge-pumps function within a wide voltage compliance range to improve the overall system performance. An on-chip 7-bit DAC enables adjustment of an external function, such as the temperature compensation of a crystal oscillator.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Principal synthesizer

Programmable reference and main dividers drive the principal PLL phase detector. Two charge pumps produce phase error current pulses for integration in an external loop filter. A hardwired power-down input POFF (pin 9) ensures that the dividers and phase comparator circuits can be disabled.

1995 Jun 15 4

The PRI input (pin 6) drives a preamplifier to provide the clock to the first divider stage. The preamplifier has a high input impedance, dominated by pin and pad capacitance. The circuit operates with signal levels from 60 mV to 180 mV (RMS), and at frequencies up to 2.4 GHz. The high frequency divider circuits use bipolar transistors, slower bits are CMOS. Divide ratios (512 to 131071) allow a 2 MHz phase comparison frequency.

The reference and main divider outputs are connected to a phase/frequency detector that controls two charge pumps. The two pumps have a common bias setting current that is set by an external resistance. The ratio between currents in fast and normal operating modes can be programmed via the 3-wire serial bus. The low current pump remains active except in power-down. The high current pump is enabled via the control input FAST (pin 1). By appropriate connection to the loop filter, dual bandwidth loops are provided: short time constant during frequency switching (FAST mode) to speed-up channel changes and low bandwidth in the settled state (on-frequency) to reduce noise and breakthrough levels.

The principal synthesizer speed-up charge pump (CPPF) is controlled by the FAST input in synchronization with phase detector operation in such a way that potential disturbances are minimized. The dead zone (caused by finite time taken to switch the current sources on or off) is cancelled by feedback from the normal pump output to the phase detector thereby improving linearity.

An open drain transistor drives the output pin LOCK (pin 20). It is recommended that the pull-up resistor from this pin to VDD is chosen such that the value is high enough to keep the sink current in the LOW state below 400 µA. The circuit can be programmed to output either the phase error in the principal or auxiliary phase detectors or the combination from both detectors (OR function). The resultant output will be a current pulse with the duration of the selected phase error. By appropriate external filtering and threshold comparison, an out-of-lock or an in-lock flag is generated.

Auxiliary synthesizer

The auxiliary synthesizer has a 14-bit main divider and an 11-bit reference divider. A separate power-down input AOFF (pin 19), disables currents in the auxiliary dividers, phase detector, and charge pump. The auxiliary input signal is amplified and fed to the main divider. The input buffer presents a high impedance, dominated by pin and pad capacitance. First divider stages use bipolar technology operating at input frequencies up to 300 MHz; the slower bits are CMOS. The auxiliary loop phase detector and charge pump use similar circuits to the main loop low-current phase comparator, including dead-zone compensation feedback.

Serial programming bus

A simple 3-line unidirectional serial bus is used to program the circuit. The 3 lines are DATA, CLK and data sent to the device is loaded in bursts framed by E. Programming clock edges and their appropriate data bits are ignored until E goes active LOW. The programmed information is loaded into the addressed latch when E returns inactive HIGH. Only the last 21 bits serially clocked into the device are retained within the programming register. Additional leading bits are ignored, and no check is made on the number of clock pulses. The fully static CMOS design uses virtually no current when the bus is inactive. It can always capture new programmed data even during power-down of main and auxiliary loops.

However when either principal synthesizer or auxiliary synthesizer or both are powered-on, the presence of a TCXO signal is required at pin 8 (f programming.

Data format

Data is entered with the most significant bit first. The leading bits make up the data field, while the trailing four bits are an address field. The UMA1020M uses 6 of the 16 available addresses. The data format is shown in Table 1. The first entered bit is p1, the last bit is p21.

The trailing address bits are decoded on the inactive edge

E. This produces an internal load pulse to store the data

of in one of the addressed latches. To ensure that the data is correctly loaded on first power-up, E should be held LOW and only taken HIGH after having programmed an appropriate register. To avoid erroneous divider ratios, the pulse is not allowed during data reads by the frequency dividers. This condition is guaranteed by respecting a minimum E pulse width after data transfer. The corresponding relationship between data fields and addresses is given in Table 2.

The auxiliary reference divider is clocked on the opposite edge of the principal reference divider to ensure that active edges arrive at the auxiliary and principal phase detectors at different times. This minimizes the potential for interference between the charge pumps of each loop.
