Block Functional Descriptions 1. Frequency Setup AK1590 is a Fractional-N type synthesizer that takes 2 18 as the denominator, which calculates the integer and numerator to be set using the following formulas: 18 Frequency setting = FPFD × (Integer + Numerator / 2 ) Integer = ROUND (Target Frequency / FPFD) 18 Numerator = ROUND {(Target Frequency – Integer × FPFD) / (FPFD / 2 )} Note) ROUND: Rounded off to the nearest integer FPFD : Phase Frequency Detector comparative Frequency (= [REFIN] input frequency / R divider ratio) Calculation examples Example 1) The numerator is positive; when the target frequency is 950.0375MHz and FPFD is 1MHz. Integer = 950.0375MHz / 1MHz = 950.0375 It is rounded off to 950 (decimal) = 3B6 (hexadecimal) = 0011 1011 0110 (binary) 18 Numerator = (950.0375MHz - 950 × 1MHz) / (1MHz / 2 ) = 9830.4 It is rounded off to 9830 (decimal) = 2666 (hexadecimal) = 10 0110 0110 0110 (binary) 18 Frequency setting =1MHz × (950 + 9830 / 2 ) = 950.0374985MHz (In this case the frequency error is 1.5Hz.) Example 2) The numerator is negative; when the target frequency is 950.550MHz and FPFD is 1MHz. Integer = 950.550MHz / 1MHz = 950.550 It is rounded off to 951 (decimal) = 3B7 (hexadecimal) = 0011 1011 0111 (binary) 18 Numerator = (950.550MHz - 951 × 1MHz) / (1MHz / 2 ) = -117964.8 It is rounded off to -117965 (decimal), which is reduced from 2 18 to be converted into binary for 2's complementary expression. 18 2 - 117965 (decimal) = 144179 (decimal) = 23333 (hexadecimal) = 10 0011 0011 0011 0011 (binary) 18 Frequency setting =1MHz × (951 + (-117965/2 )) = 950.5499992MHz (In this case the frequency error is 0.8Hz.) Calculation of 2’s complement representation 1) Positive number: Binary expression (Unmanipulated) exp. 100 (decimal) 64 (hexadecimal) = 110 0100 (binary) 2) Negative number: 2 MS1478-E-02 18 18 2 minus this number in binary expression exp. –100 (decimal) - 100 = 262044 (decimal) = 3FF9C (hexadecimal) = 11 1111 1111 1001 1100 (binary) 11 2015/6 [AK1590] 2. Charge Pump and Loop Filter AK1590 has two charge pumps; Charge Pump 1 for normal operation and Charge Pump 2 for Fast Lockup mode. The internal timer is used to switch these two charge pumps to achieve a Fast Lock PLL. The loop filter is external and connected to [CP], [SWIN] and [CPZ] pins. [CPZ] pin should be connected to R2 and C2 , which are intermediate nodes, even if the Fast Lockup is not used. Therefore, R2 must be connected to [CP] pin, while C2 must be connected to the ground. R2 and R2’ are connected in parallel with internal switch in Fast Lockup. These R2 and R2’ parallel resistance value is required for calculating loop bandwidth and phase margin in Fast Lockup operation.

Fast Lockup Mode Setting D[16] = {FASTEN} in <Address4> to “1” enables the Fast Lockup mode for AK1590. Changing a frequency setting (The frequency changes at the rising edge of [LE], when <Address1> and <Address2> are accessed.) or [PDN2] pin is turned from ”Low” to ”High” with {FASTEN}=1 enables the Fast Lockup mode. The loop filter switch turns ON during the timer period specified by the counter value in D[12:0] = {FAST[12:0]} in <Address4>, and the charge pump for the Fast Lockup mode (Charge Pump 2) is enabled. After the timer period elapsed, the loop filter switch turns OFF. The charge pump for normal operation (Charge Pump 1) is enabled. D[12:0] ={ FAST[12:0]} in <Address4> is used to set the timer period for this mode. The following formula is used to calculate the time period: Phase detector frequency cycle × counter value set in {FAST[12:0]} The charge pump current can be adjusted with the register setting in 8 steps in normal operation (Charge Pump 1) and 8 steps in the Fast Lockup operation (Charge Pump 2). The charge pump current for normal operation (Charge Pump 1) is determined by the setting in {CP1[2:0]}, which is a 3-bit address of D[17:15] in <Address2>, and a value of the resistance connected to [BIAS] pin. The following formulas show the relationship between the resistance value, the register setting and the current. Charge Pump 1 minimum current (CP1_min) = 0.57 / Resistance connected to [BIAS] pin Charge Pump 1 current = CP1_min × ({CP1[2:0]} + 1) The charge pump current for the Fast Lockup mode operation (Charge Pump 2 current) is determined by the setting in {CP2[2:0]}, which is a 3-bit address of D[15:13] in <Address4>, and a value of the resistance connected to [BIAS] pin. The following formulas show the relationship between the resistance value, the register setting and the current. Charge Pump 2 minimum current (CP2_min) = 5.7 / Resistance connected to [BIAS] pin Charge Pump 2 current = CP2_min × ({CP2[2:0]} + 4) The allowed range for the resistance (connected to [BIAS] pin) is from 22 to 33kΩ for both normal and Fast Lockup mode operations. For details of current settings, see ”10. Register Functional Description”.

Fig. 6 Timing Chart for Fast Lockup Mode MS1478-E-02 13 2015/6 [AK1590] 4. Lock Detect (LD) Signal In AK1590, “lock detect” output can be selected by D[11] = {LD} in <Address3>. When D[11] is set to “1", the phase detector output provides a phase detection status as an analog level (comparison result). This is called “Analog Lock Detect”. When D[11] is set to “0”, the lock detect signal outputs according to the on-chip logic. This is called “Digital Lock Detect”. 4.1 Analog Lock Detect In analog lock detect, the phase detector output comes from [LD] pin. Reference clock PFD clock VCO divide clock Phase detector output LD output Fig. 7 Analog Lock Detect Operation MS1478-E-02 14 2015/6 [AK1590] 4.2 Digital Lock Detect In digital lock detect, [LD] pin outputs ”Low” when the frequency is set. The output of [LD] pin turns from “Low” to “High” (which means “locked state”) when a phase error smaller than T is detected for 63 times consecutively. If the phase error that is larger than T is detected for 63 times consecutively during [LD] pin outputs “High”, the output of [LD] pin turns to “Low”(which means “unlocked state”). The accuracy of the phase detect is set by {LDCKSEL[1:0]}. {LDCKSEL[1:0]} is set to “00”: T = REFIN cycle (This is not available for the reference dividing ratio ≤ 3.) {LDCKSEL[1:0]} is set to “01”: T = REFIN cycle × 2 (This is not available for the reference dividing ratio ≤ 5.) {LDCKSEL[1:0]} is set to “10”: T = REFIN cycle × 3 (This is not available for the reference dividing ratio ≤ 6.) Since AK1590 is a Delta-Sigma Fractional-N type, a phase error up to 7 times larger than the VCO period frequency may occur in the phase detector. Therefore {LDCKSEL[1:0]} setting should be large enough to cover the amplitude of the Delta-Sigma Fractional frequency. However, if the VCO frequency does not satisfy either of the following formula, the digital lock detect is not available. In such case, the analog lock detect should be used. {DITH} = D[14] in <Address3> is set to “1” (DITH ON): VCO frequency > [REFIN] pin input frequency / [{LDCKSEL[1:0]} + 1] × 7 {DITH} = D[14] in <Address3> is set to “0” (DITH OFF): VCO frequency > [REFIN] pin input frequency / [{LDCKSEL[1:0]} + 1] × 4 Example 1) When [REFIN] input frequency = 33.6MHz, {DITH} = 1, {LDCKSEL[1:0]} = ”10”; 33.6MHz / (2+1) × 7 = 78.4MHz As a result, the digital lock detect is not available if the VCO frequency is equivalent to or smaller than 78.4MHz. Example 2) When [REFIN] input frequency = 33.6MHz, {DITH} = 0, {LDCKSEL[1:0]} = “01”; 33.6MHz / (1+1) × 4 = 67.2MHz As a result, the digital lock detect is not available if the VCO frequency is equivalent to or smaller than 67.2MHz.

Reference Input The reference input can be set with a dividing number in the range of 4 to 255 using {R[7:0]}, which is a 8-bit address in <Address3>. A dividing number from 0 to 3 cannot be set. 6. Prescaler and Swallow Counter The dual modulus prescaler (P/P+1) and the swallow counter are used to provide a large dividing ratio. The prescaler is set by {PRE[1:0]}, which is a 2-bit address in <Address3>. When {PRE[1:0]} =”00”, P = 4 is selected and then an integer from 89 to 8191 can be set. When {PRE[1:0]} =”01”, P = 8 is selected and then an integer from 201 to 16383 can be set. When {PRE[1:0]} =”10” or “11”, P = 16 is selected and then an integer from 521 to 32767 can be set. For details of how to calculate an integer, see the section “Frequency Setup” in “8. Block Functional Description”. 7. Operation Mode AK1590 can be operated in Power Down or Power Save mode as necessary by using the external control pins [PDN1] and [PDN2]. Power On See “13. Power-up Sequence”.

This register designates offset from carrier frequency. After this register is accessed, {NUM[17:0]} is recalculated and {NUM[17:0]}+{OFST[17:0]} are used in delta-sigma and N-divider as the numerator. When this register is not used, this register must be written 00000 (hexadecimal). When this register is used continuously as below, {OFST}(0) {OFST}(1) … {OFST}(k-1) {OFST}(k) {OFST}(k+1) … {NUM} and {OFST} can be set in the below range. -131072 ≤ |{NUM}+{OFST}| ≤ 131071 (decimal) |{OFST}(k)- {OFST}(k-1)| ≤ 2000 (decimal) When this register is used in out of this range, the circuit of delta-sigma modulator may cause unexpected glitches in VCO control voltage. When OFFSET register is used, set DITH=0(OFF). MS1478-E-02 25 2015/6 [AK1590] OFFSET register must be written at the lower speed than calculated frequency by “1/3.5RF Frequency/(INT+7)”. If the writing speed is faster than this, the setting is invalid. Setting examples Example 1) The frequency offset is positive; when the frequency offset is 100Hz and FPFD is 1MHz. 18 Frequency offset = 100Hz / (1MHz/2 ) = 26.2 It is round off to 26 (decimal) = 1A (hexadecimal) = 11010 (binary) Example 2) The frequency offset is negative; when the frequency offset is -100Hz and FPFD is 1MHz. 18 Frequency offset = -100Hz / (1MHz/2 ) = -26.2 It is round off to -26 (decimal), which is reduced from 2 18 to be converted into binary for 2’s complementary expression. 2 Example 3) 18 – 26 = 262118 (decimal) = 3FFE6 (hexadecimal) = 11 1111 1111 1110 0110 (binary) Calculation example : |{NUM}+{OFST}| When the frequency offset is 1500Hz, FPFD is 4.8MHz, and VCO frequency is 467.52MHz. Integer = 467.52MHz / 4.8MHz = 97.4 It is rounded off to 97 (decimal) = 61 (hexadecimal) = 110 0001 (binary) 18 Numerator = (467.52MHz - 97 × 4.8MHz) / (4.8MHz / 2 ) = 104857.6 It is rounded off to 104858 (decimal) = 1999A (hexadecimal) = 1 1001 1001 1010 (binary) 18 Frequency offset = 1500Hz / (4.8MHz/2 ) = 81.92 It is round off to 82 (decimal) = 52 (hexadecimal) = 101 0010 (binary) In this case, {NUM}+{OFST} = 104858+82=104940 (decimal) Example 4) Calculation example : |{OFST}(k)- {OFST}(k-1)| When FPFD is 1MHz. The frequency offset is set to 2000Hz at the 1st time. Then the frequency offset is set to -2000Hz at the 2nd time. 18 Frequency offset(1st time) = 2000Hz / (1MHz/2 ) = 524.288 It is round off to 524 (decimal) = 20C (hexadecimal) = 10 0000 1100 (binary) 18 Frequency offset(2nd time) = -2000Hz / (1MHz/2 ) = -524.288 It is round off to -524 (decimal), which is reduced from 2 18 to be converted into binary for 2’s complementary expression. 2 18 – 524 = 261620 (decimal) = 3FDF4 (hexadecimal) = 11 1111 1101 1111 0100 (binary) In this case, |{OFST}(k)- {OFST}(k-1)| = -524 – 524 = -1048 (decimal) MS1478-E-02 26 2015/6 [AK1590] 11.
