Product Description
The RF2054 is a low power, high performance, frequency conversion chip with integrated local oscillator (LO) and a pair of RF mixers. The synthesizer includes an integrated fractional-N phase locked loop that can control the VCO to produce a low
phase noise and low spurious LO signal with very fine frequency resolution. The
VCO output can then be divided by one, two, or four in the LO divider, the output of
which drives the mixer, which converts the signal into the required frequency band.
The LO generation block has been optimized to operate with the VCO covering the
frequency range from 940MHz to 1000MHz, set by the value of the external inductor used. The mixers are broadband and can operate from 30MHz to 2500MHz at
the input and output, enabling both up and down conversion. An external reference
source of between 10MHz and 26MHz can be used with the RF2054.
All on-chip registers are controlled through a simple three-wire serial interface. The
RF2054 has been characterized for 2.2V operation and low power consumption. It
is available in a plastic 32-pin, 5mm x 5mm QFN package.

Serial interface data. An RC low-pass filter could be used to reduce digital noise.
Connect to ground. This is the ground reference for the circuit. All decoupling should be connected here through
low impedance paths.
Note 1: The signal should be connected to this pin such that DC current cannot flow into or out of the chip, either by using AC
coupling capacitors or by use of a transformer (see evaluation board schematic).
Note 2: DC current needs to flow from ANA_VDD into this pin, either through an RF inductor, or transformer (see evaluation
board schematic).
Note 3: Alternatively an external reference can be AC-coupled to pin 11 XTALIPN, and pin 10 XTALIPP decoupled to ground. This
may make PCB routing simpler.

RF2054
Detailed Description
The RF2054 is a frequency converter chip that includes a fractional-N phase locked loop, a low noise VCO core, an LO signal
multiplexer, two LO buffer circuits, and two RF mixers. Synthesizer programming, device configuration, and control are
achieved through a mixture of hardware and software controls. All on-chip registers are programmed through a simple threewire serial interface.
VCO
The VCO core in the RF2054 consists of one VCO which covers a frequency range dependant on the value of the external
inductor used. The RF2054 has been characterized with 3.3nH inductors, so the VCO covers from 940MHz to 1000MHz. Note
that the VCO inductor is differential so the value given is the inductance on each device pin, and the total differential inductance will be twice this value.
VCO3 must be selected using the PLL1x0:P1_VCOSEL and PLL2x0:P2_VCOSEL control word and setting 10 for VCO3. The VCO
has 128 overlapping bands to achieve an acceptable VCO gain (MHz/V) and hence a good phase noise performance across
the whole tuning range. The chip automatically selects the correct VCO band (VCO coarse tuning) to generate the desired frequency based on the values programmed into the PLL1 and PLL2 register banks. For information on how to program the
desired LO frequency into the PLL1 and PLL2 banks, refer to the next section. The automatic VCO band selection is triggered
every time the ENBL pin is taken high. Once the band has been selected, the PLL will lock onto the correct frequency. During
the band selection process, fixed capacitance elements are progressively connected to the VCO resonant circuit until the VCO
is oscillating at approximately the correct frequency. The output of this band selection is made available in the RB1:CT_CAL
read-back register. A value of 127 or 0 in this register indicates that the selection was unsuccessful; this is usually due to the
wrong VCO being selected so the user is trying to program a frequency that is outside of the VCO operating range. A value
between one and 126 indicates a successful calibration, the actual value being dependent on the desired frequency, as well
as process variation. The band selection takes approximately 25s with a 21MHz clock. The band select process will center
the VCO tuning voltage at about 1.0V, compensating for manufacturing tolerances and process variation, as well as environmental factors, including temperature. For applications where the synthesizer is always on and the LO frequency is fixed, the
synthesizer will maintain lock over the whole temperature range of -20°C to +75°C. However, it is recommended to re-initiate
an automatic band selection for every 30 degrees of temperature change in order to maintain optimal synthesizer performance. This assumes an active loop filter. If start-up time is a critical parameter and the user is always programming the same
frequency for the PLL, the calibration result may be read back from the RB1:CT_CAL register and written to PLL1x2:P1_CT_DEF
or PLL2x2:P2_CT_DEF registers (depending on the desired PLL register bank). The calibration function must then be disabled
by setting the PLL1x0:P1_CT_EN and/or PLL2x0:P2_CT_EN control words to 0. For further information, please refer to the
RF205x Calibration User Guide.
The LO divide ratio is set by the PLL1x0:P1_LODIV and PLL2x0:P2_LODIV control words. The LO is routed to mixer1, mixer2, or
both, depending on the state of the MODE pin and the value of CFG1:FULLD.

Inductance of ground via (not part of differential inductor).
The following equation can be used to calculate the VCO frequency range:
1
Fo = -----------------2 LC
where C is the total differential capacitance C1, 2.5pF to 5.5pF, and L is the total differential inductance:
L = L3 + L4 + 1nH = 7.6nH
For L3 and L4 of 3.3nH, this equation gives total VCO frequency range of about 800MHz to 1150MHz.
Some margin must be left at the top and bottom of the VCO frequency range to allow for process, assembly and environmental
variations. A CT_CAL margin of 25 bits is recommended at both the top and bottom, about 0.6pF of capacitance.
The VCO resonator will have the highest Q and lowest phase noise at the lower end of the coarse tuning curve. For applications
where the LO frequency is fixed, or only tunes over a few MHz, it is recommended to design for CT_CAL of about 40 using C1 =
4.7pF.

RF2054
Fractional-N PLL
The RF2054 contains a charge-pump based fractional-N phase locked loop (PLL) for controlling the VCO. The PLL includes
automatic calibration systems to counteract the effects of process and environmental variations, ensuring repeatable lock
time and noise performance. The PLL is intended to use a reference frequency signal of 10MHz to 26MHz. The reference path
features a divider, but typically for best phase noise this is bypassed. The reference divider bypass is controlled by bit CLK
DIV_BYP, set low to enable the reference divider and set high for divider bypass (divide by 1). The remaining three bits CLK DIV
<15:13> set the reference divider value, divide by 2 (010) to 7 (111) when the reference divider is enabled.
Two PLL programming banks are provided, the first bank is preceded by the label PLL1, and the second bank is preceded by
the label PLL2. For the RF2054, these banks are used to program mixer 1 and mixer 2 respectively, and are selected automatically as the mixer is selected (using the MODE pin).
The PLL will lock the VCO to the frequency FVCO according to:
FVCO = NEFF*FOSC/R
where NEFF is the programmed fractional-N divider value, FOSC is the reference input frequency, and R is the programmed R
divider value (1 to 7).
The N divider is a fractional divider, containing a dual-modulus prescaler and a digitally spur-compensated fractional sequence
generator to allow fine frequency steps. The N divider is programmed using the N and NUM bits as follows:
First determine the desired, effective N divider value, NEFF:
NEFF = FVCO*R/FOSC
N(9:0) should be set to the integer part of NEFF. NUM should be set to the fractional part of NEFF multiplied by 224 = 16777216.
Example: VCO3 operating at 960MHz, 21MHz reference frequency, the desired effective divider value is:
NEFF = FVCO *R / FOSC = 960 *1 / 21 = 45.714285714285.
The N value is set to 45, equal to the integer part of NEFF, and the NUM value is set to the fractional portion of NEFF multiplied
by 224:
NUM = 0.714285714285 * 224 = 11983726.
Converting N and NUM into binary results in the following:
N = 0001 0110 1
NUM = 1011 0110 1101 1011 0110 1110
So the registers would be programmed:
P1_N (or P2_N) = 0001 0110 1
P1_NUM_MSB (or P2_NUM_MSB) = 1011 0110 1101 1011
P1_NUM_LSB (or P2_NUM_LSB) = 0110 1110
The maximum NEFF is 511, and the minimum NEFF is 15, when in fractional mode.

RF2054
PLL Lock Detect
The lock detect function is a window detector, indicating an out of lock condition when the VCO tuning voltage is outside of a
certain voltage range. When out of lock then the LOCK bit will be high, bit 1 in the read back register RB1. It is possible that
when an out of lock is indicated the PLL is still locked, but the tuning voltage has drifted outside of the window.
There are two windows for the lock detector set by LD_LEV, bit 14 in register CFG1. The following are the typical tuning voltage
ranges for the lock detect circuit measured with +2.2V supply voltage to the RF2054:
LD_LEV = 0: 0.55V to 1.55V (narrow window)
LD_LEV = 1: 0.35V to 1.75V (wide window)
Phase Detector and Charge Pump
The chip provides a current output to drive an external loop filter. An on-chip operational amplifier can be used to design an
active loop filter or a passive design can be implemented. The maximum charge pump output current is set by the value contained in the P1_CP_DEF/P2_CP_DEF field and CP_LO_I.
In the default state (P1_CP_DEF/P2_CP_DEF = 31 and CP_LO_I = 0) the charge pump current (ICPset) is 120A. If CP_LO_I is
set to 1 this current is reduced to 30A.
The charge pump current can be altered by changing the value of P1_CP_DEF/P2_CP_DEF. The charge pump current is
defined as:
ICP= ICPset*CP_DEF / 31
If automatic loop bandwidth correction is enabled the charge pump current is set by the calibration algorithm based upon the
VCO gain. For more information on the VCO gain calibration, which is disabled by default, please refer to the RF205x Calibration User Guide.
The phase detector will operate with a maximum input frequency of 26MHz.
Loop Filter
The PLL may be designed to use an active or a passive loop filter as required. The internal configuration of the chip is shown
below. If the CFG1:LF_ACT bit is asserted high, the op-amp will be enabled. If the CFG1:LF_ACT bit is asserted low, the internal
op-amp is disabled and a high impedance is presented to the LFILT1 pin. The RF205x Programming Tool software can assist
with loop filter designs. Because the op-amp is used in an inverting configuration in active mode, when the passive loop filter
mode is selected the phase-detector polarity should be inverted. For active mode, CFG1:PDP = 1, for passive mode, CFG1:PDP
= 0.

RF2054
The charge pump output voltage compliance range is typically +0.7V to +1.5V. For applications using a passive loop filter VCO
coarse tuning must be performed regularly enough to ensure that the VCO tuning voltage falls within this compliance range at
all temperatures. The active loop filter maintains the charge pump output voltage in the center of the compliance range, and
the op-amp provides a wider VCO tuning voltage range, typical 0V to +2.1V.
Reference Input
The RF2054 requires an external reference source. The external source (such as a TCXO) should be AC-coupled into one of the
XO inputs, and the other input should be AC-coupled to ground.
The bias circuits in the reference path (XO) take approximately 200sec to settle, and so for applications requiring rapid pulsed
operation of the PLL (such as a TDMA system, or Rx/Tx half-duplex system) it is necessary to keep the XO running between
bursts. However, when the PLL is used less frequently, it is desirable to turn off the XO to minimize current draw. The REFSTBY
register is provided to allow for either mode of operation. If REFSTBY is programmed high, the XO will continue to run even
when ENBL is asserted low. Thus the XO will be stable and a clock is immediately available when ENBL is asserted high, allowing the chip to assume normal operation. On cold start, or if REFSTBY is programmed low, the XO will need a warm-up period
before it can provide a stable clock. It is recommended to program REFSTBY high at least 200 users before asserting ENBL
high.
Wideband Mixer
The RF2054 includes two wideband, double-balanced Gilbert cell mixers. Each mixer has an input port and an output port that
can be used for either IF or RF, i.e. for up conversion or down conversion. The mixer current can be programmed to between
5mA and 25mA in 5mA steps depending on linearity requirements, using the MIX1_IDD<3:0> word for mixer 1 and the
MIX2_IDD<3:0> word for mixer 2, both of which are in the CFG2 register. The majority of the mixer current is sourced through
the output pins via either a centre-tapped balun or an RF choke in the external matching circuitry to the supply. The RF2054
has been characterized for lowest current operation, so MIX1 _IDD and MIX2_IDD set to 001.
Mixer 1 of the RF2054 has been characterized for down conversion from approximately 2 GHz input to 1040MHz IF output.
Mixer 2 of the RF2054 has been characterized for upconversion from IF input of 1040MHz to approximately 2GHz output.
The RF mixer input and output ports are differential and require simple matching circuits optimized to the specific application
frequencies. A conversion gain of approximately -3dB is achieved with 100 differential input impedance, and the outputs
driving 200 differential load impedance. Increasing the mixer output load increases the conversion gain.
The mixer has a broadband common gate input. The input impedance is dominated by the resistance set by the mixer 1/gm
term, which is inversely proportional to the mixer current setting. The resistance will be approximately 135 at the mixer low
current setting (001). There is also some shunt capacitance at the mixer input.
The mixer output is high impedance, consisting of a resistance of approximately 2k in parallel with some capacitance. The
mixer output does not need to be matched as such, just to see a resistive load. A higher resistance load will give higher output
voltage and gain. A shunt inductor can be used to resonate with the mixer output capacitance at the frequency of interest. This
inductor may not be required at lower frequencies where the impedance of the output capacitance is less significant. For the
RF2054 mixer 1 IF output a 33nH inductor is used (1040MHz) and for the mixer 2 RF output a 8.2nH inductor is used (2GHz).
For more information about the mixer port impedances and matching, please refer to the RF205x Family Application Note on
Matching Circuits and Baluns.

The mixer layout and pin placement has been optimized for high mixer-to-mixer isolation of over 60dB. The mixers can be set
up to operate in half-duplex mode (1 mixer active) or full duplex mode (both mixers active). The mode selection is done via
hardware control of the MODE pin and by setting the FULLD bit in the CFG1 register as shown in the table below. When in fullduplex mode, one can either use PLL register bank 1 or 2, the LO signal is routed to both mixers.

General Programming Information
Serial Interface
All on-chip registers in the RF2054 are programmed using a 3-wire serial bus which supports both write and read operations.
Synthesizer programming, device configuration and control are achieved through a mixture of hardware and software controls.
Certain functions and operations require the use of hardware controls via the ENBL, MODE, and RESETB pins in addition to
programming via the serial bus.

Initially ENX is high and SDATA is high impedance. The write operation begins with the controller starting SCLK. On the first falling edge of SCLK the baseband asserts ENX low. The second rising edge of SCLK is reserved to allow the SDI to initialize, and
the third rising edge is used to define whether the operation will be a write or a read operation. In write mode the baseband will
drive SDATA for the entire telegram. RF2054 will read the data bit on the rising edge of SCLK.
The next 7 data bits are the register address, MSB first. This is followed by the payload of 16 data bits for a total write mode
transfer of 24 bits. Data is latched into RF2054 on the last rising edge of SCLK (after ENX is asserted high).
For more information, please refer to the timing diagram on page 16.
The maximum clock speed for a register write is 19.2MHz. A register write therefore takes approximately 1.3s. The data is
latched on the rising edge of the clock. The datagram consists of a single start bit followed by a ‘0’ (to indicate a write operation). This is then followed by a seven bit address and a sixteen bit data word.
Note that since the serial bus does not require the presence of the reference clock, it is necessary to insert an additional rising
clock edge before the ENX line is set low to ensure the address/data are read correctly.

Initially ENX is high and SDATA is high impedance. The read operation begins with the controller starting SCLK. The controller is
in control of the SDATA line during the address write operation. On the first falling edge of SCLK the baseband asserts ENX low.
The second rising edge of SCLK is reserved to allow the SDI to initialize, and the third rising edge is used to define whether the
operation will be a write or a read operation. In read mode the baseband will drive SDATA for the address portion of the telegram, and then control will be handed over to RF2054 for the data portion. RF2054 will read the data bits of the address on
the rising edge of SCLK. After the address has been written, control of the SDATA line is handed over to RF2054. One and a half
clocks are reserved for turn-around, and then the data bits are presented by RF2054. The data is set up on the rising edge of
SCLK, and the controller latches the data on the falling edge of SCLK. At the end of the data transmission, RF2054 will release
control of the SDATA line, and the controller asserts ENX high. The SDATA port on RF2054 transitions from high impedance to
low impedance on the first rising edge of the data portion of the transaction (for example, 3 rising edges after the last address
bit has been read), so the controller chip should be presenting a high impedance by that time.
For more information, please refer to the timing diagram on page 16.
The maximum clock speed for a register read is 19.2MHz. A register read therefore takes approximately 1.4s. The address is
latched on the rising edge of the clock and the data output on the falling edge. The datagram consists of a single start bit fol-

lowed by a ‘1’ (to indicate a read operation), followed by a seven bit address. A 1.5 bit delay is introduced before the sixteen bit
data word representing the register content is presented to the receiver.
Note that since the serial bus does not require the presence of the reference clock, it is necessary to insert an additional rising
clock edge before the ENX line is set low to ensure the address is read correctly.
Hardware Control
Three hardware control pins are provided: ENBL, MODE, and RESETB.
ENBL Pin
The ENBL pin has two functions: to enable the analog circuits in the chip and to trigger the VCO band selection as described in

Start-up
When starting up and following device reset then REFSTBY=0, REFSTBY should be asserted high at least 200s before ENBL is
taken high. This is to allow the XO bias circuits to settle. The various calibration routines will also take some time depending on
whether they are enabled or not. Coarse tuning calibration takes about 50s and VCO tuning gain compensation takes about
100s. Additionally, time for the PLL to settle will be required. All of these timings will be dependant upon application specific
factors such as loop filter bandwidth, reference clock frequency, and so on. The fastest turn-on and lock time will be obtained
by leaving REFSTBY asserted high, disabling all calibration routines, minimizing all calibration times, and setting the PLL loop
bandwidth as wide as possible.
The device can be reset into its initial state (default settings) at any time by performing a hard reset. This is achieved by setting
the RESETB pin low for at least 100ns.
Setting Up Device Operation
The device offers a number of operating modes which need to be set up in the device before it will work as intended. This is
achieved as follows.

When setting up the device it is necessary to decide if
an active or passive loop filter will be used in the

detector polarity bit in CFG1since the active filter
inverts the loop filter voltage.

The internal crystal loading capacitors are also
programmed to present the correct load to the crystal.
The capacitance internal to the chip can be varied
from 8-16pF in 0.25pF steps (default=10pF). The
reference divider must also be set to determine the
phase detector frequency (default=1). These bits are
located in the CFG4 register.

Three registers need to be written, taking 3.9s at the maximum clock speed. If the device is used with an active filter in simplex operation it will not be necessary to program CFG1 reducing the programming time to 2.6s.

Setting Up VCO Coarse Tuning and Loop Filter Calibration
If the user wishes to disable the VCO coarse tune calibration or enable the loop filter calibration then the following programming operation will need to take place.
2
Set calibration
mode
Disable VCO
coarse tune?
Yes
P1_CT_EN,
P2_CT_EN
Set to 00
When setting up the device it is necessary to decide
whether to deactivate the devices' internal VCO
calibration or provide the calibration information
directly. These bits are located in the PLL1x0 and
PLL2x0 registers and are active by default.
Loop filter
calibration
It is also necessary to decide whether to activate the
loop filter calibration mode, only necessary when
operating the device over very wide band of
frequencies. These bits are also located in the PLL1x0
and PLL2x0 registers. The default setting assumes an
active loop filter is used.
Default
Enable loop filter
cal?
Yes
Default
Operating mode set
3
Two registers need to be written taking 2.6s at maximum clock speed if the course tuning is deactivated or the loop filter calibration activated. Since it is necessary to program these registers when setting the operating frequency (see next section) this
operation usually carries no overhead.
The coarse tune calibration takes approximately 26s when using a 21MHz reference clock (it will take proportionally longer if
a slower clock is used, and vice versa). This follows a VCO warm-up period also dependent on the reference clock, typically
10s to 15s.

Setting The Operating Frequency
Setting the operating frequency of the device requires a number of registers to be programmed.

Set operating
frequencies
Program
P1_VCOSEL,
P2_VCOSEL,
P1_LODIV,
P2_LODIV, and FLL
Fact
Program
P1_N, P2_N
When programming the operating frequency it is
necessary to select the appropriate VCO and LODIV
values. The P1_VCOSEL and P1_LODIV bits are
located in the PLL1x0 register and the corresponding
P2 bits in the PLL2x0 register. P1_VCOSEL and
P2_VCOSEL should always be set to 10 for VCO3.
FLL_Fact (CFG3) should be set to 00 if N<28.
The integer part of the PLL division ratio is
programmed into the PLL1x3 and PLL2x3 registers
according to the required synthesizer path.
Program
P1_NUM_MSB,
P2_NUM_MSB
The MSB of the fractional part of the synthesizer PLL
divider value is programmed into the PLL1x1 and
PLL2x1 registers.
Program
P1_NUM_LSB,
P2_NUM_LSB,
P1_CT_DEF,
P2_CT_DEF
The LSB of the fractional part of the synthesizer PLL
divider value is programmed into the PLL1x2 and
PLL2x2 registers together with the CT_CAL bits if fast
frequency switching is required.
(Depending on required frequency resolution and
coarse tune settings this may not be required.)
Frequency
programmed
4
A total of five registers must be programmed to set the device operating frequency for each path within the device. This will
take 6.5s for each path at maximum clock speed.
To change the frequency of the VCO it will be necessary to repeat these operations. However, it may not be necessary to reprogram the LODIV bits reducing the register writes to three per path.
For an example on how to determine the integer and fractional parts of the synthesizer PLL division ratio please refer to the
detailed description of the PLL.
