DESCRIPTION
The SA1638 is a combined Rx and Tx IF I/Q circuit. The receive
path contains an IF amplifier, a pair of quadrature down-mixers, and
a pair of baseband filters and amplifiers. A second pair of mixers in
the transmit path transposes a quadrature baseband input up to the
IF frequency. An external VCO signal is divided down internally and
buffered to provide quadrature local oscillator signals for the mixers.
A further divider chain, reference divider and phase detector are
provided to avoid the need for an external IF synthesizer. Rx or Tx
path or the entire circuit may be powered down by logic inputs.
On-board voltage regulators are provided to allow direct connection
to a battery supply.

NOTES:
1. At Tj ≥ 150°C a thermal switch reduces the output current to avoid damage.
2. Recommended load capacitors: In every case CREG1 = CREG2 = 100nF to ground with series resistance ≤0.1Ω. Additional capacitor
optional ≤1000µF with series resistance ≤5Ω. The low series resistance is very important to ensure regulator stability.
3. Standard deviations are based on the characterization results of 90 ICs.

diagram of the serial input. When the STROBE = L, the clock driver
is enabled and on the positive edges of the CLOCK the signal on
DATA input is clocked into a shift register. When the STROBE = H,
the clock is disabled and the data in the shift register remains stable.

Default States
Upon power up (VCCDIG is applied) a reset signal is generated,
which sets all registers to a default state. The logic level at the
STROBE pin should be low during power up to guarantee a proper
reset. These default states are shown in Table 3.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Serial Programming Input
Main Divider
The serial input is a 3-wire input (CLOCK, STROBE, DATA) to
program the counter ratios, charge pump current, status- and
DC-offset register, mode select and test register. The programming
data is structured into two 21-bit words; each word includes 4 chip
1997 Sept 03
The external VCO signal, applied to the LOIN and LOINX inputs, is
divided by two and then fed to the main divider (:N). The main
divider is a programmable 9 bit divider, the minimum division ratio is

divide by 64. The division ratio is binary coded and set in the
registers n0 to n8. The default setting is a divide by 400.
Status Register
At the completion of a main divider cycle, a main divider output is
generated which will drive the phase detector.
The s0 and s1 status bits determine the values of the logic output
pins AOUT and BOUT. These outputs can be connected to the AGC
control inputs A and B of the SA1620. (See Figure 9)
Phase Detector
DC Offset Register
Registers i0 to i3 and q0 to q3 control a correction to the output DC
offset of the I and Q channels of the receiver. The polarity of the DC
offset correction in the I and Q channels are determined by i0 and
q0, respectively. The other bits set the magnitude of the offset
correction. The step size of the two offset correction DACs is fixed
by an external resistor between the DCRES pin and ground. A
value of 120kΩ will give a step size of 200mV.
The phase detector is a D-type flip-flop phase and frequency
detector shown in Figure 5. The flip-flops are set by the negative
edges of the output signals of the dividers. The rising edge of the
signal L will reset the flip-flops after both flip-flops have been set.
Around zero phase error this has the effect of delaying the reset for
1 reference input cycle. This avoids non-linearity or deadband
around zero phase error. The flip-flops drive on-chip charge pumps.
A source current from the charge pump acts to increase the VCO
frequency; a sink current acts to decrease the VCO frequency.

Current Setting
The charge pump current is defined by the current set between the
pin IREF and VEECP. The current value to be set there is 31.2µA.
This current can be set by an external resistor to be connected
between the pin IREF and VEECP. The typical value REXT (current
setting resistor) can be calculated with the formula
R EXT The attenuation switch is included between the IF amplifier and the I
and Q mixers, thereby influencing the noise figure negligibly. The
purpose of this switch is to provide another AGC step which does
not influence the receiver noise figure. Please note that this gain
change will influence the DC offset of the I and Q mixers.
t1 = 0 test mode only, always to be set to 0.
t2, t3 sets the mode of the level locked loop (LLL)
V CCCP 1.4V
31.2mA
The current can be set to zero by connecting the pin IREF to VCCCP.
The LLL is a circuit which processes the LO input signal in order to
provide an LO signal with a perfect 50% duty cycle, which
determines the precision of the 90° shift of the I and Q mixing
signals generated by the ÷2 divider. For an external tuning of the
90° phase shift of the I and Q mixing signals, a trimming resistor
may be connected (but is not required) between the ADJIN pin and
ground, and the LLL has to be put in one of the following modes:
Charge Pumps
The charge pumps at pin CP are driven by the phase dectector and
the current value is determined by the binary value of the charge
pumps register CN = c2, c1, c0, default 1mA. The active charge
pump current is typically:
|I CP| (c0

The LOCK output is selectable as a test output. Bits x0, x1 control
the selection, the default setting is normal lock output as described
in the Lock detect section. The selection of a Bit x0, x1 combination
has a twofold effect: First it routes a divider output signal to the
LOCK pin, second it disables mixer stages in the transmit path.
Setting x0,1 = 11 disables both transmit path mixers. This mode can
be used to prevent the transmitter from producing an IF output
signal even if the transmit part is powered on (PDTx = 0V). This can
be used to simplify the control timing while commanding the transmit
and receive simultaneously without the transmit part causing
interference.

With
t5, two external resistor values are selectable.
t5 = 0
the resistance between the pins RESA and
RESB determines the cutoff frequency. For
GSM a nominal bandwidth of 80kHz is chosen
when the external resistor is 36kΩ.
t5 = 1
a second resistor between the pins RESB and
RESD is connected in parallel to the first
external resistor, thus increasing the filter
bandwidth. The relative amplification is
decreased in this mode.

PONRx = H powers up the receiver part.
The overall filter response in the receive section is the sum of the
filter responses of the passive RC low-pass filter and the active
gyrator filter.
PDTx = L powers up the transmitter part.
PONPLL = H powers up the synthesizer part. As it also powers up
the first divide by 2 stage for generating the 0/90 degree phase
shifted signals for the transmit and receive mixers, it also has to be
set H if either the transmit part or the receive part is used. PONPLL
= L powers down the dividers, resets the phase detector and
disconnects the current setting pin IREF. In PONPLL = L mode, the
values in the serial input registers are still kept and the part still can
be reprogrammed as long as VCCDIG is present.
Power Down Modes
There are 4 power-on pins in the SA1638: PON, PONRx, PDTx,
PONPLL.
PON = H powers up both voltage regulators VREG1 and VREG2. PON
should be set to L, if these internal voltage regulators are not to be
used.

output power can be reduced to an appropriate level by choice of
an external resistor.
Overview of Dual GSM/PCN Architecture
The SA1620 RF front-end and SA1638 IF transceivers form a dual
conversion architecture which uses a common IF and standard I/Q
baseband interface for both transmit and receive paths. The time
division multiplex nature of the GSM system permits integration of
the transmit and receive functions together on the one RF and one
IF chips. This simplifies the distribution of local oscillator signals,
maximizes circuitry commonality, and reduces power consumption.
• DC offsets generated in the receive channel are independent of
the LNA AGC setting, and correctable by software to prevent
erosion of signal handling dynamic range by DC offsets.
• Minimal high-quality filter requirements.
As a result of the
integration in the SA1638 of high quality channel selectivity filters,
only sufficient filtering is needed in the receive path to provide
blocking protection for the second mixers. This reduces receiver
cost and size.
The SA1620 and SA1638 allow considerable flexibility to optimize
the transceiver design for particular price/size/performance
requirements, through choice of appropriate RF and IF filters. The
IF may be chosen freely in the range 70–400 MHz. The same IF
can be used in the transmit and receive directions. Alternately,
different IFs can be used if the SA1638 synthesizer frequency is
switched between transmit and receive timeslots. The comparison
frequency of the SA1638 PLL is high in order to provide fast
switching time.
• Operation at a high IF allows RF image reject filter requirements
to be relaxed. For example, at a 400MHz IF, the natural gain
roll-off in the SA1620 LNAs and mixer suppresses the image
signal in the 1800MHz band by typically 28dB below the desired
900MHz band signal.
DC Offset Correction
With suitable choice of the IF, an identical SA1638 IF receiver
design can be used for both 900MHz GSM and 1800MHz PCN
(DCS1800) equipment.
DC offset correction is provided by two DACs each feeding into one
of the two Rx channels. The step size of both DACs is set by the
value of the external resistor between DCRES and ground. Thus
any original offset less than 1.5V magnitude in either channel can be
reduced to the specified level by selecting the appropriate DAC
setting via the serial interface.
General Benefits/Advantages
• 2.7V operation.
Compatible with 3V digital technology and
portable applications. (Higher voltage operation also possible, if
desired.)
Integrated Receive Filters
• Excellent dynamic range.
The low-pass characteristics of the Rx channel are determined by
two low-pass responses. The first of these is a passive filter at the
output of the quadrature mixers and the second is the low-pass
filters which follow the post-mixer amplifiers. These specifications
refer only to the response of the default state, but this may be
switched by the control register to an alternative setting with a
nominal 3dB point of 792kHz.
The availability of two LNAs in the
SA1620 allows flexibility in receiver dynamic design for portable
and mobile GSM spec. applications with appropriate filters. If for
a particular application a GaAs or discrete front-end is desired,
one of the LNAs can be left unpowered. Placing the AGC gain
switches at the front results in some attenuation most of the time,
further increasing typical dynamic performance beyond that
specified by GSM.
The corner frequency of the low pass filters can be adjusted over a
wide range by varying the value of the external resistor between
RESA and RESB. The range of feasible corner frequencies extends
at least between 50kHz and 500kHz.
• High power transmit output driver, delivering +7.5dBm output.
This is sufficient to drive a filter and power amplifier input, without
a driver amplifier. To avoid unnecessary current consumption, the
