N-divider 2. R-divider 3. Phase detector 4. Charge pump 5. VCO and digital frequency VCO calibration 6. VCO dividers The output of the SKY73134-11 charge pump is programmable and varies between 0.9 mA and 5.4 mA. Additional adjustment of the charge pump current can be accomplished by changing the value of the external PLL bias resistor. VCO and Digital Frequency VCO Calibration 7. Lock detect The SKY73134-11 incorporates four VCOs. Each VCO covers a different frequency range between 2.8 and 6.2 GHz. N-Divider The N-divider consists of a selectable 16/17 or 32/33 prescaler, 13-bit main counter, and 5-bit swallow counter. The 18-bit Ndivider ratio is calculated as: N=P×M+S Where: P = Prescaler value M = Main counter value S = Swallow counter value The N-divider range is from P2 to 218. For a 32/33 prescaler, the N-divider range varies from 1024 to 262144. R-Divider The 11-bit programmable R-divider divides the reference input frequency and generates the reference input for the phase detector. The R-divider range varies from 1 to 211 (2048). Phase Detector The phase detector is an edge-controlled digital circuit. The circuit has two inputs: the reference signal (Ref) and the N-divider output. There are two digital outputs (Up and Dn) that drive the charge pump. When the input phase difference is positive, the Up output is pulled up to VCC. When the input phase difference is negative, the Dn output is pulled down to ground. This type of phase detector acts only on the positive edges of the input signals. The VCOs are designed to generate the LO signal with the tuning function controlled by the synthesizer. Each VCO uses a switch capacitor array and an analog varactor for digital tuning. The digital auto-tuning loop provides the proper coarse tuning setting for the VCO switch capacitors. This sets the oscillation frequency as close to target as possible before starting fine analog tuning. When VCO auto-tuning is enabled, the PLL performs a successive approximation process to digitally tune the VCO close to the final programmed frequency. Once that is complete, analog tuning is enabled to lock the VCO to the programmed frequency. The auto-tuning loop is designed to compensate process variation so that the VCO fine tuning range can be reduced to cover temperature variation only. This ensures that the PLL is always locked. VCO Dividers The divider chain consists of dividers and LO drivers. Any VCO can be divided by 2, 3, 4, or 8, which improves the LO phase noise by 6 dB, 9.5 dB, 12 dB, and 18 dB, respectively. Using frequency division, the overall VCO range of the device is widened from 0.35 to 6.2 GHz. The output RF buffer has a programmable current that provides variation in the output RF level. The direct non-divided VCO output can be monitored at the additional bidirectional internal/external VCO pins. The divider chain and the internal PLL can be locked by an external VCO.

The CMOS output is active high when the loop is locked. Bidirectional Digital Interface A three-wire Serial Programmable Interface (SPI) with read/write capability provides mode and bias control, and control of the PLL. The serial interface consists of three signals: the bus clock (CLK), latch enable (LE), and the serial, bidirectional data line (DATA). Write Mode. A write data stream consists of 25 bits: Read Mode. The read data stream is almost identical to the write data stream. Following the 5-bit register address, a “turn around” cycle is inserted so the baseband can disable its drive of the data line and the addressed device on the bus can activate its data output driver. When the baseband addresses a device connected to the serial bus, the bus enable signal (LE) goes low half a clock cycle before the CLK signal becomes active. Data on the DATA line is clocked into the SKY73134-11 on the rising edge of the clock. Data from the SKY73134-11 to the baseband is clocked at the falling edge of the clock. The enable line goes high at the end of the data transfer. A timing diagram for the SPI read/write cycle is shown in Figure 3. Bits[15:0] provide the 16-bit data block. Bits[20:16] provide the register address. Serial Bus Timing Bit[21] is the read/write bit (0 = write, 1 = read). The SPI bus speed is programmable. Timing requirements for the CLK, DATA, and LE signals are provided in Table 2. A serial data input timing diagram is shown in Figure 4. Bits[24:22] provide the device address (the SKY73134-11 is 011b). Figure 3.

By default, all registers are 25 bits wide. Bit[21] is the read/write bit, cleared when writing to the device. Bits[20:16] are the address bits of the registers. The 16 least significant bits (LSBs) represent the data bits. Three values are needed to calculate the three PLL dividers, R_DIV, N_DIV1 and N_DIV2: the desired frequency (FRF), the VCO divider (D), and the frequency step size (FSTEP). The VCO frequency (FVCO) has a range of 2.8 GHz to 6.2 GHz, and is defined by the product of the desired frequency (FRF) and the VCO divider, D: FVCO = FRF × D (1) (2) The PLL R-Divider register stores the value of the 11-bit R-divider that produces the desired comparison frequency (FCOMP) for the RF PLL according to the following equation: FREF FCOMP (3) Where FREF is the reference frequency provided to the device. The PLL N-Divider 1 and PLL N-Divider 2 registers store the value of the N-divider according to the following equation: N= FVCO FCOMP Bits[1:0] of the PLL N-Divider 2 register are the most significant bits (MSBs) of the 18-bit representation of the N number. Additional programming information is provided in the document, Skyworks Wideband Integer-N, Phase-Locked Loop Programming Guide, document number 201322. Example: A desired RF output frequency of 2000 MHz is required using a reference frequency of 38.4 MHz and a desired frequency step size of 100 kHz. If the VCO divider is equal to 2, the VCO frequency is 4000 MHz from Equation 1 and the comparison frequency is equal to 200 kHz from Equation 2. From Equations 3 and 4, the R and N values become: N = 20000 = 100111000100000b The frequency step size (FSTEP) is a user defined value. Given FSTEP and D, the comparison frequency (FCOMP) can be calculated by: R= The calculated R-divider and N-divider values are programmed into the SKY73134-11 using the SPI interface. R = 192 = 11000000b The VCO divider (equal to 1, 2, 3, 4, or 8) is chosen so that the product of FRF × D is within the specified VCO range. FCOMP = FSTEP × D Bits[15:0] of the PLL N-Divider 1 register are the LSBs of the 18bit binary representation of the N number. (4) These values would be programmed through the SPI interface. Figure 5 represents the bits of the PLL R-Divider register with the value of R = 192. Figures 6 and 7 represent the bits of the PLL NDivider 1 and PLL N-Divider 2 registers, respectively, with the value of N = 20000.

The recommended operating conditions are specified in Table 4 and electrical specifications are provided in Tables 5 through 7.

An assembly drawing for the Evaluation Board is shown in Figure 20 and the layer detail is provided in Figure 21. A schematic diagram of the SKY73134-11 Evaluation Board is shown in Figure 22. The PCB layout footprint for the SKY73134-11 is provided in Figure 23. Figure 24 shows the package dimensions for the 25-pin RFLGA and Figure 25 provides the tape and reel dimensions. Package and Handling Information Circuit Design Configurations The following design considerations are general in nature and must be followed regardless of final use or configuration: 1. Paths to ground should be made as short as possible. 2. The ground pad of the SKY73134-11 has special electrical and thermal grounding requirements. This pad is the main thermal conduit for heat dissipation. Since the circuit board acts as the heat sink, it must shunt as much heat as possible from the device. Therefore, design the connection to the ground pad to dissipate the maximum wattage produced by the circuit board. 3. Skyworks recommends including external bypass capacitors on the VCC voltage inputs of the device. Since the device package is sensitive to moisture absorption, it is baked and vacuum packed before shipping. Instructions on the shipping container label regarding exposure to moisture after the container seal is broken must be followed. Otherwise, problems related to moisture absorption may occur when the part is subjected to high temperature during solder assembly. THE SKY73134-11 is rated to Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 (MSL3) at 260 °C. It can be used for lead or lead-free soldering. For additional information, refer to the Skyworks Application Note, PCB Design & SMT Assembly/Rework Guidelines for RFLGA Packages, document number 103147. Care must be taken when attaching this product, whether it is done manually or in a production solder reflow environment.
