The ADF411x family of frequency synthesizers can be used to
implement local oscillators (LO) in the upconversion and
downconversion sections of wireless receivers and transmitters.
They consist of a low noise digital phase frequency detector
(PFD), a precision charge pump, a programmable reference
divider, programmable A and B counters, and a dual-modulus
prescaler (P/P + 1). The A (5-bit) and B (13-bit) counters, in
conjunction with the dual-modulus prescaler (P/P + 1),
implement an N divider (N = BP + A). In addition, the 14-bit
reference counter (R counter) allows selectable REFIN frequencies
at the PFD input. A complete phase-locked loop (PLL) can be
implemented if the synthesizer is used with an external loop
filter and voltage controlled oscillator (VCO).
APPLICATIONS
All of the on-chip registers are controlled via a simple 3-wire
interface. The devices operate with a power supply ranging
from 2.7 V to 5.5 V and can be powered down when not in use.

The synthesizer phase noise floor is estimated by measuring the in-band phase noise at the output of the VCO, PN TOT, and subtracting 20logN (where N is the N
divider value) and 10logFPFD: PNSYNTH = PNTOT – 10logFPFD – 20logN.
8
The phase noise is measured with the EVAL-ADF411xEB and the HP8562E Spectrum Analyzer. The spectrum analyzer provides the REFIN for the synthesizer
(fREFOUT = 10 MHz @ 0 dBm).

Description
Fast Lock Switch Output. This can be used to switch an external resistor to change the loop filter bandwidth
and speed up locking the PLL.
Charge Pump Output. When enabled, this provides the ± ICP to the external loop filter, which in turn drives the
external VCO.
Charge Pump Ground. This is the ground return path for the charge pump.
Analog Ground. This is the ground return path for the prescaler.
Complementary Input to the RF Prescaler. This point should be decoupled to the ground plane with a small
bypass capacitor, typically 100 pF. See Figure 26.
Input to the RF Prescaler. This small signal input is ac-coupled from the VCO.
Analog Power Supply. This can range from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Decoupling capacitors to the analog ground plane
should be placed as close as possible to this pin. AVDD must have the same value as DVDD.
Reference Input. This is a CMOS input with a nominal threshold of VDD/2 and an equivalent input resistance of 100 kΩ.
See Figure 25. The oscillator input can be driven from a TTL or CMOS crystal oscillator, or it can be ac-coupled.
Digital Ground.
Chip Enable. A logic low on this pin powers down the device and puts the charge pump output into three-state
mode. Taking the pin high powers up the device depending on the status of the power-down bit F2.
Serial Clock Input. This serial clock is used to clock in the serial data to the registers. The data is latched into the
21-bit shift register on the CLK rising edge. This input is a high impedance CMOS input.
Serial Data Input. The serial data is loaded MSB first with the two LSBs as the control bits. This input is a high
impedance CMOS input.
Load Enable, CMOS Input. When LE goes high, the data stored in the shift registers is loaded into one of the four
latches, the latch being selected using the control bits.
This multiplexer output allows either the lock detect, the scaled RF, or the scaled reference frequency to be
accessed externally.
Digital Power Supply. This can range from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Decoupling capacitors to the digital ground plane (1 μF, 1 nF)
should be placed as close as possible to this pin. For best performance, the 1 μF capacitor should be placed within 2 mm
of the pin. The placing of the 1 nF capacitor is less critical, but should still be within 5 mm of the pin.
DVDD must have the same value as AVDD.
Charge Pump Power Supply. This should be greater than or equal to VDD. In systems where VDD is 3 V, this supply can
be set to 6 V and used to drive a VCO with a tuning range of up to 6 V.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
REFERENCE INPUT SECTION
A COUNTER AND B COUNTER
The reference input stage is shown in Figure 25. SW1 and SW2
are normally closed switches; SW3 is normally open. When
power-down is initiated, SW3 is closed and SW1 and SW2 are
opened. This ensures that there is no loading of the REFIN pin
on power-down.
The A CMOS counter and B CMOS counter combine with the
dual-modulus prescaler to allow a wide ranging division ratio in
the PLL feedback counter. The counters are specified to work
when the prescaler output is 200 MHz or less.
POWER-DOWN
CONTROL
NC
REFIN NC
The A counter and B counter, in conjunction with the dualmodulus prescaler, make it possible to generate output
frequencies that are spaced only by the reference frequency
divided by R. The equation for the VCO frequency is as follows:

fVCO is the output frequency of external voltage controlled
oscillator (VCO).
P is the preset modulus of dual-modulus prescaler.
B is the preset divide ratio of binary 13-bit counter (3 to 8191).
A is the preset divide ratio of binary 5-bit swallow counter (0 to 31).
fREFIN is the output frequency of the external reference frequency
oscillator.
R is the preset divide ratio of binary 14-bit programmable
reference counter (1 to 16,383).
RF INPUT STAGE
The RF input stage is shown in Figure 26. It is followed by a
2-stage limiting amplifier to generate the CML clock levels
needed for the prescaler.

R COUNTER

The 14-bit R counter allows the input reference frequency to be
divided down to produce the input clock to the phase frequency
detector (PFD). Division ratios from 1 to 16,383 are allowed.

PRESCALER (P/P + 1)
The dual-modulus prescaler (P/P + 1), along with the A counter
and B counter, enables the large division ratio, N, to be realized
(N = PB + A). The dual-modulus prescaler takes the CML clock
from the RF input stage and divides it down to a manageable
frequency for the CMOS A counter and CMOS B counter. The
prescaler is programmable. It can be set in software to 8/9 for the
ADF4116 and to 32/33 for the ADF4117 and ADF4118. It is based
on a synchronous 4/5 core.

MUXOUT AND LOCK DETECT
The PFD takes inputs from the R counter and N counter and
produces an output proportional to the phase and frequency
difference between them. Figure 28 is a simplified schematic of
the PFD. The PFD includes a fixed delay element that sets the
width of the antibacklash pulse. This is typically 3 ns. This pulse
ensures that there is no dead zone in the PFD transfer function
and gives a consistent reference spur level.

The output multiplexer on the ADF411x family allows the user
to access various internal points on the chip. The state of
MUXOUT is controlled by M3, M2, and M1 in the function
latch. Figure 33 shows the full truth table. Figure 29 shows the
MUXOUT section in block diagram form.

Digital lock detect is active high. It is set high when the phase
error on three consecutive phase detector cycles is less than
15 ns. It stays set high until a phase error greater than 25 ns is
detected on any subsequent PD cycle.

The N channel, open-drain, analog lock detect should be

When lock is detected, it is high with narrow low going pulses.

INPUT SHIFT REGISTER
The ADF411x family digital section includes a 21-bit input shift
register, a 14-bit R counter, and an 18-bit N counter, comprising
a 5-bit A counter and a 13-bit B counter. Data is clocked into
the 21-bit shift register on each rising edge of CLK. The data is
clocked in MSB first. Data is transferred from the shift register
to one of four latches on the rising edge of LE. The destination
latch is determined by the state of the two control bits (C2, C1)
in the shift register. These are the two LSBs, DB1 and DB0, as
shown in the timing diagram in Figure 2. The truth table for
these bits is shown in Figure 34. Table 5 summarizes how the
latches are programmed.

ADF4116/ADF4117/ADF4118
FUNCTION LATCH
With C2 and C1 set to 1 and 0, respectively, the on-chip
function latch is programmed. Figure 33 shows the input data
format for programming the function latch.
CHARGE PUMP THREE-STATE
COUNTER RESET
FASTLOCK ENABLE BIT
DB2 (F1) is the counter reset bit. When this bit is set to 1, the R
counter, A counter, and B counter are reset. For normal operation,
this bit should be set to 0. On power-up, the F1 bit needs to be
disabled, for the N counter to resume counting in “close”
alignment with the R counter. (The maximum error is one
prescaler cycle.)
DB9 (F4) of the function latch is the fastlock enable bit. Fastlock
is enabled only when DB9 is set to 1.
POWER-DOWN
DB3 (PD1) and DB19 (PD2) on the ADF411x family provide
programmable power-down modes. They are enabled by the
CE pin.
When the CE pin is low, the device is immediately disabled
regardless of the states of PD2 and PD1.
The DB8 (F3) bit puts the charge pump into three-state mode
when programmed to 1. It should be set to 0 for normal operation.
FASTLOCK MODE BIT
DB11 (F6) of the function latch is the fastlock mode bit. When
fastlock is enabled, this bit determines which fastlock mode is
used. If the fastlock mode bit is 0, Fastlock Mode 1 is selected; if
the fastlock mode bit is 1, Fastlock Mode 2 is selected.
If fastlock is not enabled (DB9 = 0), DB11 (ADF4116)
determines the state of the FLO output. FLO state is the same as
that programmed to DB11.
Fastlock Mode 1
In programmed asynchronous power-down, the device powers
down immediately after latching a 1 into the PD1 bit, with the
condition that PD2 is loaded with a 0.
In programmed synchronous power-down, the device powerdown is gated by the charge pump to prevent unwanted
frequency jumps. Once power-down is enabled by writing a 1
into the PD1 bit (on condition that a 1 is also loaded to PD2),
the device goes into power-down after the first successive
charge pump event.
When a power-down is activated (either synchronous or
asynchronous mode including CE pin-activated power-down),
the following events occur:
In the ADF411x family, the output level of FLO is programmed
to a low state, and the charge pump current is switched to the
high value (1 mA). FLO is used to switch a resistor in the loop
filter and to ensure stability while in fastlock by altering the
loop bandwidth.
The device enters fastlock by having a 1 written to the CP Gain
bit in the N register. The device exits fastlock by having a 0
written to the CP Gain bit in the N register.
Fastlock Mode 2
In the ADF411x family, the output level of FLO is programmed
to a low state, and the charge pump current is switched to the
high value (1 mA). FLO is used to switch a resistor in the loop
filter and to ensure stability while in fastlock by altering the
loop bandwidth.
•
All active dc current paths are removed.
•
The R counter, N counter, and timeout counter are forced
to their load state conditions.
•
The charge pump is forced into three-state mode.
•
The digital clock detect circuitry is reset.
•
The RFIN input is debiased.
The device enters fastlock by having a 1 written to the CP gain
bit in the N register. The device exits fastlock under the control
of the timer counter. After the timeout period determined by
the value in TC4 to TC1, the CP Gain bit in the N register is
automatically reset to 0, and the device reverts to normal mode
instead of fastlock.
•
The oscillator input buffer circuitry is disabled.
TIMER COUNTER CONTROL
•
The input register remains active and capable of loading
and latching data.
In the ADF411x family, the user has the option of switching
between two charge pump current values to speed up locking to
a new frequency.
MUXOUT CONTROL
The on-chip multiplexer is controlled by DB6 (M3), DB5 (M2),
and DB4 (M1) on the ADF411x family. Figure 33 shows the
truth table.
When using the fastlock feature with the ADF411x family, the
following should be noted:
•
PHASE DETECTOR POLARITY
DB7 (F2) of the function latch sets the phase detector polarity.
When the VCO characteristics are positive, DB7 should be set
to 1. When they are negative, it should be set to 0.
Rev. D | Page 19 of 28
The user must make sure that fastlock is enabled. Set DB9
to 1. The user must also choose which fastlock mode to use.
ADF4116/ADF4117/ADF4118
•
Fastlock Mode 2 uses the values in the timer counter to
determine the timeout period before reverting to normal
mode operation after fastlock. Fastlock Mode 2 is chosen
by setting DB11 to 1.
•
The user must also decide how long to keep the high
current (1 mA) active before reverting to low current
(250 μA). This is controlled by the timer counter control
bits, DB14 to DB11 (TC4 to TC1), in the function latch.
The truth table is given in Figure 33.
•
To program a new output frequency, program the A counter
and B counter latch with new values for A and B. At the
same time, set the CP Gain bit to a 1, which sets the charge
pump to 1 mA for a period of time determined by TC4 to
TC1. When this time is up, the charge pump current
reverts to 250 μA. At the same time, the CP Gain bit in the
A counter and B counter latch is reset to 0 and is ready for
the next time that the user wants to change the frequency.
INITIALIZATION LATCH
When C2 and C1 are both set to 1, the initialization latch is
programmed. This is essentially the same as the function latch
that is programmed when C2, C1 = 1, 0.
However, when the initialization latch is programmed, an
additional internal reset pulse is applied to the R counter and
N counter. This pulse ensures that the N counter is at a load
point when the N counter data is latched and that the device
begins counting in close phase alignment.
4.
Do an N load (01 in 2 LSBs).
When the initialization latch is loaded, the following occurs:
•
The function latch contents are loaded.
•
An internal pulse resets the R, N, and timeout counters to
load state conditions and also three-states the charge pump.
Note that the prescaler band gap reference and the oscillator
input buffer are unaffected by the internal reset pulse, allowing
close phase alignment when counting resumes.
•
Latching the first N counter data after the initialization
word activates the same internal reset pulse. Successive
N loads do not trigger the internal reset pulse unless there
is another initialization.
CE Pin Method
1.
Apply VDD.
2.
Bring CE low to put the device into power-down. This is an
asynchronous power-down in that it happens immediately.
3.
Program the function latch (10).
4.
Program the R counter latch (00).
5.
Program the N counter latch (01).
6.
Bring CE high to take the device out of power-down.
The R counter and N counter resume counting in close alignment.
Note that after CE goes high, a duration of 1 μs may be required
for the prescaler band gap voltage and oscillator input buffer
bias to reach a steady state.
If the latch is programmed for synchronous power-down (CE
pin is high; PD1 bit is high; PD2 bit is low), the internal pulse
also triggers this power-down. The prescaler reference and the
oscillator input buffer are unaffected by the internal reset pulse,
so close phase alignment is maintained when counting resumes.
CE can be used to power up and power down the device to check
for channel activity. The input register does not need to be reprogrammed each time the device is disabled and enabled, as long
as it is programmed at least once after VCC is initially applied.
Counter Reset Method
When the first N counter data is latched after initialization, the
internal reset pulse is again activated. However, successive
N counter loads do not trigger the internal reset pulse.
1.
Apply VDD.
2.
DEVICE PROGRAMMING AFTER
INITIAL POWER-UP
Do a function latch load (10 in 2 LSBs). As part of this,
load 1 to the F1 bit. This enables the counter reset.
3.
Do an R counter load (00 in 2 LSBs).
4.
Do an N counter load (01 in 2 LSBs).
5.
Do a function latch load (10 in 2 LSBs). As part of this,
load 0 to the F1 bit. This disables the counter reset.
After initial power-up, the device can be programmed by the
initialization latch method, the CE pin method, or the counter
reset method.
Initialization Latch Method
1.
Apply VDD.
2.
Program the initialization latch (11 in 2 LSBs of input
word). Make sure that F1 bit is programmed to 0.
3.
Do an R load (00 in 2 LSBs).
This sequence provides the same close alignment as the initialization method. It offers direct control over the internal reset.
Note that counter reset holds the counters at load point and
three-states the charge pump, but it does not trigger synchronous power-down. The counter reset method requires an extra
function latch load compared to the initialization latch method.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
LOCAL OSCILLATOR FOR THE
GSM BASE STATION TRANSMITTER
SHUTDOWN CIRCUIT
Figure 35 shows the ADF4117/ADF4118 being used with a
VCO to produce the LO for a GSM base station transmitter.
The reference input signal is applied to the circuit at FREFIN and,
in this case, is terminated in 50 Ω. A typical GSM system has a
13 MHz TCXO driving the reference input without a 50 Ω
termination. To have a channel spacing of 200 kHz (the GSM
standard), the reference input must be divided by 65, using the
on-chip reference divider of the ADF4117/ADF1118.
The charge pump output of the ADF4117/ADF1118 (Pin 2)
drives the loop filter. In calculating the loop filter component
values, a number of items need to be considered. In this example,
the loop filter was designed so that the overall phase margin for
the system is 45°. Other PLL system specifications include:
KD = 1 mA
KV = 12 MHz/V
Loop bandwidth = 20 kHz
FREF = 200 kHz
N = 4500
Extra reference spur attenuation = 10 dB
All of these specifications are needed and are used to produce
the loop filter component values shown in Figure 36.
The loop filter output drives the VCO, which, in turn, is fed back
to the RF input of the PLL synthesizer; it also drives the RF
output terminal. A T-circuit configuration provides 50 Ω
matching between the VCO output, the RF output, and the
RFIN terminal of the synthesizer.
In a PLL system, it is important to know when the system is in
locked mode. In Figure 35, this is accomplished by using the
MUXOUT signal from the synthesizer. The MUXOUT pin can
be programmed to monitor various internal signals in the
synthesizer. One of these is the LD or lock-detect signal.
The attached circuit in Figure 36 shows how to shut down both
the ADF411x family and the accompanying VCO. The ADG702
switch goes open-circuit when a Logic 1 is applied to the IN
input. The low cost switch is available in both SOT-23 and
MSOP packages.
DIRECT CONVERSION MODULATOR
In some applications, a direct conversion architecture can be
used in base station transmitters. Figure 37 shows the
combination available from Analog Devices, Inc. to implement
this solution.
The circuit diagram shows the AD9761 being used with the
AD8346. The use of dual integrated DACs, such as the AD9761
with specified ±0.02 dB and ±0.004 dB gain and offset matching
characteristics, ensures minimum error contribution (over
temperature) from this portion of the signal chain.
The local oscillator is implemented by using the ADF4117/
ADF4118. In this case, the FOX801BH-130 provides the stable
13 MHz reference frequency. The system is designed for
200 kHz channel spacing and an output center frequency of
1960 MHz. The target application is a WCDMA base station
transmitter. Typical phase noise performance from this LO is
−85 dBc/Hz at a 1 kHz offset. The LO port of the AD8346 is
driven in single-ended fashion. LOIN is ac-coupled to ground
with the 100 pF capacitor, and LOIP is driven through the accoupling capacitor from a 50 Ω source. An LO drive level between
−6 dBm and −12 dBm is required. The circuit in Figure 37 gives a
typical level of −8 dBm.
The RF output is designed to drive a 50 Ω load, but it must be
ac-coupled as shown in Figure 37. If the I and Q inputs are
driven in quadrature by 2 V p-p signals, the resulting output
power is approximately −10 dBm.

ADF4116/ADF4117/ADF4118
The ADF411x family has a simple SPI®-compatible serial interface for writing to the device. CLK, DATA, and LE control the
data transfer. When LE (latch enable) goes high, the 24 bits that
are clocked into the input register on each rising edge of CLK
are transferred to the appropriate latch. See Figure 2 for the
timing diagram and Table 5 for the latch truth table.
The maximum allowable serial clock rate is 20 MHz. This means
that the maximum update rate possible for the device is 833 kHz
or one update every 1.2 μs. This is more than adequate for
systems that have typical lock times in hundreds of microseconds.
ADuC812 Interface
Figure 38 shows the interface between the ADF411x family and
the ADuC812 MicroConverter®. Since the ADuC812 is based
on an 8051 core, this interface can be used with any 8051-based
microcontroller. The MicroConverter is set up for SPI master
mode with CPHA = 0. To initiate the operation, the I/O port
driving LE is brought low. Each latch of the ADF411x family
needs a 24-bit word. This is accomplished by writing three 8-bit
bytes from the MicroConverter to the device. When the third
byte has been written, the LE input should be brought high to
complete the transfer.
On first applying power to the ADF411x family, it requires three
writes (one each to the R counter latch, the N counter latch, and
the initialization latch) for the output to become active.
I/O port lines on the ADuC812 are also used to control powerdown (CE input) and to detect lock (MUXOUT configured as
lock detect and polled by the port input).
When operating in the mode described, the maximum SCLOCK
rate of the ADuC812 is 4 MHz. This means that the maximum
rate at which the output frequency can be changed is 166 kHz.
ADSP-21xx Interface
Figure 39 shows the interface between the ADF411x family and
the ADSP-21xx digital signal processor. The ADF411x family
needs a 21-bit serial word for each latch write. The easiest way
to accomplish this using the ADSP-21xx family is to use the
autobuffered transmit mode of operation with alternate framing.
This provides a means for transmitting an entire block of serial
data before an interrupt is generated.

INTERFACING
Set up the word length for 8 bits and use three memory
locations for each 24-bit word. To program each 21-bit latch,
store the three 8-bit bytes, enable the autobuffered mode, and
write to the transmit register of the DSP. This last operation
initiates the autobuffer transfer.
