Hardware and software power-down mode
The ADF41020 frequency synthesizer can be used to implement
local oscillators as high as 18 GHz in the up conversion and
down conversion sections of wireless receivers and transmitters.
It consists of a low noise, digital phase frequency detector
(PFD), a precision charge pump, a programmable reference
divider, and high frequency programmable feedback dividers
(A, B, and P). A complete phase-locked loop (PLL) can be
implemented if the synthesizer is used with an external loop
filter and voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The synthesizer
can be used to drive external microwave VCOs via an active
loop filter. Its very high bandwidth means a frequency doubler
stage can be eliminated, simplifying system architecture and
reducing cost. The ADF41020 is software-compatible with the
existing ADF4106/ADF4107/ADF4108 family of devices from
Analog Devices, Inc. Their pinouts match very closely with
the exception of the ADF41020’s single-ended RF input pin,
meaning only a minor layout change is required when updating
current designs.

This is the maximum operating frequency of the CMOS counters. The prescaler value should be chosen to ensure that the RF input is divided down to a frequency that
is less than this value.

The synthesizer phase noise floor is estimated by measuring the in-band phase noise at the output of the VCO and subtracting 20 log N (where N is the N divider
value) and 10 log fPFD. PNSYNTH = PNTOT − 10 log fPFD − 20 log N.
5
The PLL phase noise is composed of 1/f (flicker) noise plus the normalized PLL noise floor. The formula for calculating the 1/f noise contribution at an RF frequency, fRF,
and at a frequency offset, f, is given by PN = PN1_f + 10 log(10 kHz/f) + 20 log(fRF/1 GHz). Both the normalized phase noise floor and flicker noise are modeled in
ADIsimPLL.
6
The phase noise is measured with a Rohde & Schwarz FSUP spectrum analyzer. The reference is provided by a Rohde & Schwarz SMA100A.
7
The phase noise and spurious noise is measured with the EV-ADF41020EB1Z evaluation board and the Rohde & Schwarz FSUP spectrum analyzer.

Description
Ground Pins.
Input to the RF Prescaler. This input is ac-coupled internally.
Analog Power Supply. This may range from 2.85 V to 3.15 V. Decoupling capacitors to the ground plane
should be placed as close as possible to this pin. Pin 6 is the supply for the fixed divide-by-4 prescaler.
Reference Input. This is a CMOS input with a nominal threshold of DVDD/2 and a dc equivalent input
resistance of 100 kΩ (see Figure 9). This input can be driven from a TTL or CMOS crystal oscillator or it
can be ac-coupled.
Chip Enable. A logic low on this pin powers down the device and puts the charge pump output into threestate mode. Taking the pin high powers up the device, depending on the status of the power-down bit, PD1.
Serial Clock Input. This serial clock is used to clock in the serial data to the registers. The data is latched into
the 24-bit shift register on the CLK rising edge. This is a high impedance CMOS input.
Serial Data Input. The serial data is loaded MSB first with the two LSBs being the control bits. This 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 with 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 may range from 2.85 V to 3.15 V. Decoupling capacitors to the ground plane
should be placed as close as possible to this pin. DVDD must be the same value as AVDD.
Charge Pump Power Supply.
Connecting a resistor between this pin and GND sets the maximum charge pump output current.
The nominal voltage potential at the RSET pin is 0.66 V. The relationship between ICP and RSET is
I CP MAX =
20
CP
EP
25.5
RSET
So, with RSET = 5.1 kΩ, ICP MAX = 5.0 mA.
Charge Pump Output. When enabled, this provides ±ICP to the external loop filter, which in turn drives the
external VCO.
Exposed Pad. The exposed pad must be connected to GND.

THEORY OF OPERATION
REFERENCE INPUT SECTION
PRESCALER
The reference input stage is shown in Figure 9. SW1 and SW2
are normally closed switches. SW3 is a normally open switch.
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 ADF41020 uses a two prescaler approach to achieve
operation up to 18 GHz. The first prescaler is a fixed
divide-by-4 block. The second prescaler, which takes its
input from the divide-by-4 output, is implemented as a dualmodulus prescaler (P/P + 1), which allows finer frequency
resolution vs. a fixed prescaler. Along with the A counter and
B counter, this enables the large division ratio, N, to be realized
(N = 4(BP + A)). The dual-modulus prescaler, operating at
CML levels, takes the clock from the fixed prescaler stage and
divides it down to a manageable frequency for the CMOS A
counter and B counter. The second prescaler is programmable.
It can be set in software to 8/9, 16/17, 32/33, or 64/65. It is
based on a synchronous 4/5 core. There is a minimum divide
ratio possible for contiguous output frequencies. This minimum
is given by 4(P2 − P).

The RF input stage is shown in Figure 10. It is followed by a

the prescaler.
AVDD
The A counter and B counter combine with the two prescalers
to allow a wide ranging division ratio in the PLL feedback
counter. The counters are specified to work when the prescaler
output is 350 MHz or less.

MUXOUT AND LOCK DETECT
The output multiplexer on the ADF41020 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 17 shows the full truth table. Figure 12 shows
the MUXOUT section in block diagram form.
Lock Detect
MUXOUT can be programmed for two types of lock detect:
digital lock detect and analog lock detect.
Digital lock detect is active high. Digital lock detect is set high
when the phase error on five consecutive phase detector cycles
is less than 15 ns. It stays set high until a phase error of greater
than 25 ns is detected on any subsequent PD cycle.

INPUT SHIFT REGISTER
The ADF41020 digital section includes a 24-bit input shift
register, a 14-bit R counter, and a 19-bit N counter, comprising
a 6-bit A counter and a 13-bit B counter. Data is clocked into
the 24-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 three 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. C2 and C1 are the two LSBs, DB1 and DB0,
as shown in the timing diagram of Figure 2. The truth table for
these bits is shown in Table 5. Table 5 shows a summary of
how the latches are programmed. The SPI is both 1.8 V and
3 V compatible.

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 13 is a simplified schematic.
The PFD includes a fixed delay element that controls the
width of the antibacklash pulse. This pulse ensures that there
is no dead zone in the PFD transfer function and minimizes
phase noise and reference spurs. The charge pump converts the
PFD output to current pulses, which are integrated by the PLL
loop filter.

THE FUNCTION LATCH
Fast Lock Mode 2
With C2 and C1 set to 1 and 0, respectively, the on-chip
function latch is programmed. Figure 17 shows the input
data format for programming the function latch.
The charge pump current is switched to the contents of Current
Setting 2. The device enters fast lock when 1 is written to the
CP gain bit in the N (A, B) counter latch. The device exits fast
lock under the control of the timer counter. After the timeout
period, which is determined by the value in TC4 to TC1, the CP
gain bit in the N (A, B) counter latch is automatically reset to 0,
and the device reverts to normal mode instead of fast lock. See
Figure 17 for the timeout periods.
Counter Reset
DB2 (F1) is the counter reset bit. When this is 1, the R counter
and the N (A, B) counter is reset. For normal operation, this bit
should be 0. When powering up, disable the F1 bit (set to 0).
The N counter then resumes counting in close alignment with
the R counter. (The maximum error is one prescaler cycle).
Power-Down
Bit DB3 (PD1) provides a software power-down mode to reduce
the overall current drawn by the device. It is enabled by the CE
pin. When the CE pin is low, the device is immediately disabled
regardless of the state of PD1.
In the programmed software power-down, the device powers
down immediately after latching 1 into the PD1 bit. PD2 is a
reserved bit and should be cleared to 0.
When a power-down is activated, the following events occur:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
All active dc current paths in the main synthesizer section
are removed. However, the RF divide-by-4 prescaler
remains active.
The R, N, and timeout counters 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 reference input buffer circuitry is disabled.
The input register remains active and capable of loading
and latching data.
MUXOUT Control
The on-chip multiplexer is controlled by M3, M2, and M1 on
the ADF41020. Figure 17 shows the truth table.
Fast Lock Enable Bit
Timer Counter Control
The user has the option of programming two charge pump
currents. The intent is that Current Setting 1 is used when the
RF output is stable and the system is in a static state. Current
Setting 2 is used when the system is dynamic and in a state of
change (that is, when a new output frequency is programmed).
The normal sequence of events follows.
The user initially decides what the preferred charge pump
currents are going to be. For example, the choice may be
0.85 mA as Current Setting 1 and 1.7 mA as Current Setting 2.
Simultaneously, the decision must be made as to how long the
secondary current stays active before reverting to the primary
current. 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 17.
To program a new output frequency, simply program the N (A, B)
counter latch with new values for A and B. Simultaneously, the
CP gain bit can be set to 1, which sets the charge pump with the
value in CPI6 to CPI4 for a period of time determined by TC4
to TC1. When this time is up, the charge pump current reverts
to the value set by CPI3 to CPI1. At the same time, the CP gain
bit in the N (A, B) counter latch is reset to 0 and is ready for the
next time the user wishes to change the frequency.
Note that there is an enable feature on the timer counter. It is
enabled when Fast Lock Mode 2 is chosen by setting the fast
lock mode bit (DB10) in the function latch to 1.
Charge Pump Currents
Bit DB9 (F4) of the function latch is the fast lock enable bit.
When this bit is 1, fast lock is enabled.
Fast Lock Mode Bit
Bit DB10 (F5)of the function latch is the fast lock mode bit.
When fast lock is enabled, this bit determines which fast lock
mode is used. If the fast lock mode bit is 0, then Fast Lock
Mode 1 is selected; and if the fast lock mode bit is 1, then Fast
Lock Mode 2 is selected.
Fast Lock Mode 1
The charge pump current is switched to the contents of Current
Setting 2. The device enters fast lock when 1 is written to the CP
gain bit in the N (A, B) counter latch. The device exits fast lock
when 0 is written to the CP gain bit in the N (A, B) counter latch.
CPI3, CPI2, and CPI1 program Current Setting 1 for the charge
pump. CPI6, CPI5, and CPI4 program Current Setting 2 for the
charge pump. The truth table is given in Figure 17.
Prescaler Value
P2 and P1 in the function latch set the programmable P
prescaler value. The P value should be chosen so that the
prescaler output frequency is always less than or equal to
350 MHz.
PD Polarity
Bit DB7 (F2) sets the phase detector polarity bit. See Figure 17.

Bit DB8 (F3) controls the CP output pin. With the bit set high,
the CP output is put into three-state. With the bit set low, the
CP output is enabled.
Device Programming After Initial Power-Up
After initial power up of the device, there are three methods for
programming the device: function latch, CE pin, and counter
reset.
Function Latch Method
1.
2.
3.
4.
Apply VDD.
Program the function latch load (10 in two LSBs of the
control word), making sure that the F1 bit is programmed
to a 0.
Do an R load (00 in two LSBs).
Do an N (A, B) load (01 in two LSBs).
CE Pin Method
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Apply VDD.
Bring CE low to put the device into power-down. This is an
asychronous power-down in that it happens immediately.
Program the function latch (10).
Program the R counter latch (00).
Program the N (A, B) counter latch (01).
Bring CE high to take the device out of power-down. The
R and N (A, B) counters now resume counting in close
alignment.
Note that after CE goes high, a 1 µs duration may be required
for the prescaler band gap voltage and oscillator input buffer
bias to reach steady state.
CE can be used to power the device up and down 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 VDD is initially
applied.
Counter Reset Method
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Apply VDD.
Do a function latch load (10 in two LSBs). As part of this,
load 1 to the F1 bit. This enables the counter reset.
Do an R counter load (00 in two LSBs).
Do an N (A, B) counter load (01 in two LSBs).
Do a function latch load (10 in two LSBs). As part of this,
load 0 to the F1 bit. This disables the counter reset.
This sequence provides direct control over the internal
counter reset.

ADF41020
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
INTERFACING
Blackfin BF527 Interface
The ADF41020 has a simple 1.8 V and 3 V SPI-compatible
serial interface for writing to the device. CLK, DATA, and
LE control the data transfer. When LE goes high, the 24 bits
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.
Figure 19 shows the interface between the ADF41020 and
the Blackfin® ADSP-BF527 digital signal processor (DSP). The
ADF41020 needs a 24-bit serial word for each latch write. The
easiest way to accomplish this using the Blackfin 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. Set up the word
length for 8 bits and use three memory locations for each 24-bit
word. To program each 24-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.
As in the microcontroller case, ensure the clock speeds are
within the maximum limits outlined in Table 1.
The maximum allowable serial clock rate is 20 MHz.
ADuC7020 Interface
Figure 18 shows the interface between the ADF41020 and the
ADuC7019 to ADuC7023 family of analog microcontrollers.
The ADuC70xx family is based on an AMR7 core, although the
same interface can be used with any 8051-based microcontroller. The microcontroller 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 ADF41020 needs a 24-bit
word. This is accomplished by writing three 8-bit bytes from the
microcontroller to the device. When the third byte is written,
bring the LE input high to complete the transfer.

PCB DESIGN GUIDELINES
The lands on the LFCSP (CP-20) are rectangular. The printed
circuit board (PCB) pad for these should be 0.1 mm longer than
the package land length and 0.05 mm wider than the package
land width. Center the land on the pad to ensure that the solder
joint size is maximized. The bottom of the LFCSP has a central
thermal pad.

Thermal vias may be used on the PCB thermal pad to improve
thermal performance of the package. If vias are used, they should
be incorporated in the thermal pad at 1.2 mm pitch grid. The
via diameter should be between 0.3 mm and 0.33 mm, and plate
the via barrel with 1 oz copper to plug the via.
Connect the PCB thermal pad to GND.

When operating in the mode described, the maximum SPI
transfer rate of the ADuC7023 is 20 Mbps. This means that
the maximum rate at which the output frequency can be
changed is 833 kHz. If using a faster SPI clock, ensure
adherence to the SPI timing requirements listed in Table 1.
