GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SA8026 BICMOS device integrates programmable dividers,
charge pumps and a phase comparator to implement a
phase-locked loop. The device is designed to operate from 3 NiCd
cells, in pocket phones, with low current and nominal 3 V supplies.
The synthesizer operates at VCO input frequencies up to 2.5 GHz.
The synthesizer has fully programmable main, auxiliary and
reference dividers. 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. VDDCP must be greater than or equal to VDD.

RSET pin. Passive loop filters could be used; the charge pump
operates within a wide voltage compliance range to provide a wider
tuning range.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Main Fractional-N divider
Auxiliary divider
The RFin inputs drive a pre-amplifier to provide the clock to the first
divider stage. For single ended operation, the signal should be fed to
one of the inputs while the other one is AC grounded. The
pre-amplifier has a high input impedance, dominated by pin and pad
capacitance. The circuit operates with signal levels from –18 dBm to
0 dBm, and at frequencies as high as 2.5 GHz. The divider consists
of a fully programmable bipolar prescaler followed by a CMOS
counter. Total divide ratios range from 512 to 65536.
The AUXin input drives a pre-amplifier to provide the clock to the
first divider stage. The pre-amplifier has a high input impedance,
dominated by pin and pad capacitance. The circuit operates with
signal levels from –18dBm to 0 dBm (80 to 636 mVpp), and at
frequencies as high as 550 MHz. The divider consists of a fully
programmable bipolar prescaler followed by a CMOS counter. Total
divide ratios ranges from 128 to 16383.
Reference divider
At the completion of a main divider cycle, a main divider output
pulse is generated which will drive the main phase comparator. Also,
the fractional accumulator is incremented by the value of NF. The
accumulator works with modulo Q set by FMOD. When the
accumulator overflows, the overall division ratio N will be increased
by 1 to N + 1, the average division ratio over Q main divider cycles
(either 5 or 8) will be
The reference divider consists of a divider with programmable
values between 4 and 1023 followed by a three bit binary counter.
The 3 bit SM (SA) register (see figure 4) determines which of the 5
output pulses are selected as the main (auxiliary) phase detector
input.
Phase detector (see Figure 5)
NF
Nfrac + N ) Q
The reference and main (aux) divider outputs are connected to a
phase/frequency detector that controls the charge pump. The pump
current is set by an external resistor in conjunction with control bits
CP0 and CP1 in the C-word (see Charge Pump table). The dead
zone (caused by finite time taken to switch the current sources on or
off) is cancelled by forcing the pumps ON for a minimum time at
every cycle (backlash time) providing improved linearity.
The output of the main divider will be modulated with a fractional
phase ripple. The phase ripple is proportional to the contents of the
fractional accumulator and is nulled by the fractional compensation
charge pump.
The reloading of a new main divider ratio is synchronized to the
state of the main divider to avoid introducing a phase disturbance.

Main Output Charge Pumps and Fractional
Compensation Currents (see Figure 6)
SA8026
The compensation is done by sourcing a small current, ICOMP, see
Figure 7, that is proportional to the fractional error phase. For proper
fractional compensation, the area of the fractional compensation
current pulse must be equal to the area of the fractional charge
pump ripple. The width of the fractional compensation pulse is fixed
to 128 VCO cycles, the amplitude is proportional to the fractional
accumulator value and is adjusted by FDAC values (bits FC7–0 in
the B-word). The fractional compensation current is derived from the
main charge pump in that it follows all the current scaling through
external resistor setting, RSET, programming or speed-up operation.
For a given charge pump,
The main charge pumps on pins PHP and PHI are driven by the
main phase detector and the charge pump current values are
determined by the current at pin RSET in conjunction with bits CP0,
CP1 in the C-word (see table of charge pump ratios). The fractional
compensation is derived from the current at RSET, the contents of
the fractional accumulator FRD and by the program value of the
FDAC. The timing for the fractional compensation is derived from
the main divider. The main charge pumps will enter speed up mode
after the A-word is set and strobe goes High. When strobe goes
Low, charge pump will exit speed up mode.
Principle of Fractional Compensation
ICOMP = ( IPUMP / 128 ) * ( FDAC / 5*128) * FRD
The fractional compensation is designed into the circuit as a means
of reducing or eliminating fractional spurs that are caused by the
fractional phase ripple of the main divider. If ICOMP is the
compensation current and IPUMP is the pump current, then for each
charge pump:
FRD is the fractional accumulator value.
The target values for FDAC are: 128 for FMOD = 1 (modulo 5) and
80 for FMOD = 0 (modulo 8).
IPUMP_TOTAL = IPUMP + ICOMP.

Lock Detect
Power-down mode
The output LOCK maintains a logic ‘1’ when the auxiliary phase
detector ANDed with the main phase detector indicates a lock
condition. The lock condition for the main and auxiliary synthesizers
is defined as a phase difference of less than "1 period of the
frequency at the input REFin+, –. One counter can fulfill the lock
condition when the other counter is powered down. Out of lock (logic
’0’) is indicated when both counters are powered down.
The power-down signal can be either hardware (PON) or software
(PD). The PON signal is exclusively ORed with the PD bits in
B-word. If PON = 0, then the part is powered up when PD = 1. PON
can be used to invert the polarity of the software bit PD. When the
synthesizer is reactivated after power-down, the main and reference
dividers are synchronized to avoid possibility of random phase
errors on power-up.

data is latched into different working registers or temporary
registers. In order to fully program the synthesizer, 3 words must be
sent: C, B, and A. Table 1 shows the format and the contents of
each word. The D word is normally used for testing purposes. When
sending the B-word, data bits FC7–0 for the fractional compensation
DAC are not loaded immediately. Instead they are stored in
temporary registers. Only when the A-word is loaded, these
temporary registers are loaded together with the main divider ratio.
Serial programming bus
The serial input is a 3-wire input (CLOCK, STROBE, DATA) to
program all counter divide ratios, fractional compensation DAC,
selection and enable bits. The programming data is structured into
24 bit words; each word includes 2 or 3 address bits. Figure 8
shows the timing diagram of the serial input. When the STROBE
goes active HIGH, the clock is disabled and the data in the shift
register remains unchanged. Depending on the address bits, the
Serial bus timing characteristics. See Figure 8.
