a Dual RF/IF PLL Frequency Synthesizers ADF4210/ADF4211/ADF4212/ADF4213 GENERAL DESCRIPTION FEATURES ADF4210: 550 MHz/1.2 GHz ADF4211: 550 MHz/2.0 GHz ADF4212: 1.0 GHz/2.7 GHz ADF4213: 1.0 GHz/3 GHz 2.7 V to 5.5 V Power Supply Separate Charge Pump Supply (VP) Allows Extended Tuning Voltage in 3 V Systems Programmable Dual Modulus Prescaler RF and IF: 8/9, 16/17, 32/33, 64/65 Programmable Charge Pump Currents 3-Wire Serial Interface Analog and Digital Lock Detect Fastlock Mode Power-Down Mode The ADF4210/ADF4211/ADF4212/ADF4213 is a dual frequency synthesizer that can be used to implement local oscillators (LO) in the upconversion and downconversion sections of wireless receivers and transmitters. They can provide the LO for both the RF and IF sections. They consist of a low-noise digital PFD (Phase Frequency Detector), a precision charge pump, a programmable reference divider, programmable A and B Counters and a dual-modulus prescaler (P/P + 1). The A (6-bit) and B (12-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 PLL (PhaseLocked Loop) can be implemented if the synthesizer is used with an external loop filter and VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillators). Control of all the on-chip registers is via a simple 3-wire interface. APPLICATIONS The devices operate with a power supply ranging from 2.7 V to Base Stations for Wireless Radio (GSM, PCS, DCS, 5 V and can be powered down when not in use.

The prescaler value should be chosen to ensure that the IF/RF input is divided down to a frequency that is less than this value. 4 VDD1 = VDD2 = 3 V; For VDD1 = VDD2 = 5 V, use CMOS-compatible levels, TA = 25°C. 5 Guaranteed by design. Sample tested to ensure compliance. 6 VDD = 3 V; P = 16; RFIN = 900 MHz; IFIN = 540 MHz, TA = 25°C. 7 The synthesizer phase noise floor is estimated by measuring the in-band phase noise at the output of the VCO and subtracting 20 logN (where N is the N divider value). See TPC 16. 8 The phase noise is measured with the EVAL-ADF4210/ADF4212/ADF4213EB Evaluation Board and the HP8562E Spectrum Analyzer. The spectrum analyzer provides the REFIN for the synthesizer (fREFOUT = 10 MHz @ 0 dBm). 9 fREFIN = 10 MHz; fPFD = 200 kHz; Offset frequency = 1 kHz; fIF = 540 MHz; N = 2700; Loop B/W = 20 kHz. 10 fREFIN = 10 MHz; fPFD = 200 kHz; Offset frequency = 1 kHz; fRF = 900 MHz; N = 4500; Loop B/W = 20 kHz. 11 Same conditions as listed in Note 10. 12 fREFIN = 10 MHz; fPFD = 200 kHz; Offset frequency = 1 kHz; fRF = 1750 MHz; N = 8750; Loop B/W = 20 kHz. 13 fREFIN = 10 MHz; fPFD = 10 kHz; Offset frequency = 200 Hz; fRF = 1750 MHz; N = 175000; Loop B/W = 1 kHz. 14 fREFIN = 10 MHz; fPFD = 1 MHz; Offset frequency = 1 kHz; fRF = 1960 MHz; N = 9800; Loop B/W = 20 kHz.

This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those listed in the operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. 2 This device is a high-performance RF integrated circuit with an ESD rating of < 2 kV and it is ESD sensitive. Proper precautions should be taken for handling and assembly. 3 GND = AGND = DGND = 0 V. TRANSISTOR COUNT 11749 (CMOS) and 522 (Bipolar). CAUTION ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the ADF4210/ADF4211/ADF4212/ADF4213 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. WARNING!

A ADF4210/ADF4211/ADF4212/ADF4213 PRESCALER (P/P + 1) FIRST REFERENCE SPUR – dBc –60 The dual modulus prescaler (P/P + 1), along with the A and B counters, enables the large division ratio, N, to be realized (N = PB + A). The dual-modulus prescaler, operating at CML levels, takes the clock from the RF/IF input stage and divides it down to a manageable frequency for the CMOS A and B counters in the RF and If sections. The prescaler in both sections is programmable. It can be set in software to 8/9, 16/17, 32/33, or 64/65. See Tables IV and VI. It is based on a synchronous 4/5 core.

ADF4213 Reference Spurs vs. Temperature (836 MHz, 30 kHz, 3 kHz) Pulse Swallow Function CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION REFERENCE INPUT SECTION The reference input stage is shown below in Figure 2. 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. POWER-DOWN CONTROL NC The A and B CMOS counters 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, when VDD = 5 V. Typically, they will work with 250 MHz output from the prescaler. Thus, with an RF input frequency of 2.5 GHz, a prescaler value of 16/17 is valid, but a value of 8/9 is not valid. 100k SW2 The A and B counters, in conjunction with the dual modulus prescaler make it possible to generate output frequencies which are spaced only by the Reference Frequency divided by R. The equation for the VCO frequency is as follows: fVCO = [(P × B) + A] × fREFIN/R fVCO = Output Frequency of external voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). P = Preset modulus of dual modulus prescaler (8/9, 16/17, etc.). B = Preset Divide Ratio of binary 13-bit counter (3 to 8191). A = Preset Divide Ratio of binary 6-bit A counter (0 to 63).

Reference Input Stage R RF/IF INPUT STAGE = Preset divide ratio of binary 15-bit programmable reference counter (1 to 32767). The RF/IF input stage is shown in Figure 3. It is followed by a 2-stage limiting amplifier to generate the CML (Current Mode Logic) clock levels needed for the prescaler.

A The 15-bit RF/IF R counter allows the input reference frequency to be divided down to product the input clock to the phase frequency detector (PFD). Division ratios from 1 to 32767 are allowed. –9– ADF4210/ADF4211/ADF4212/ADF4213 PHASE FREQUENCY DETECTOR (PFD) AND CHARGE PUMP 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 5 is a simplified schematic. 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 deadzone in the PFD transfer function and gives a consistent reference spur level. MUXOUT can be programmed for two types of lock detect: Digital Lock Detect and Analog Lock Detect. 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 will stay set high until a phase error of greater than 25 ns is detected on any subsequent PD cycle. The N-channel open-drain analog lock detect should be operated with an external pull-up resistor of 10 kΩ nominal. When lock has been detected, it is high with narrow low-going pulses. VP CHARGE PUMP HI D1 Q1 RF/IF INPUT SHIFT REGISTER UP U1 R DIVIDER CLR1 DELAY CLR2 HI D2 Q2 CP U3 DOWN The ADF421x family digital section includes a 24-bit input shift register, a 14-bit IF R counter and a 18-bit IF N counter, comprising a 6-bit IF A counter and a 12-bit IF B counter. Also present is a 14-bit RF R counter and an 18-bit RF N counter, comprising a 6-bit RF A counter and a 12-bit RF 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 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, DB0 as shown in the timing diagram of Figure 1. The truth table for these bits is shown in Table VI. Table I shows a summary of how the latches are programmed. U2 Table I.

A –15– ADF4210/ADF4211/ADF4212/ADF4213 PROGRAM MODES IF SECTION Table III and Table V show how to set up the Program Modes in the ADF421x family. The following should be noted: PROGRAMMABLE IF REFERENCE (R) COUNTER 1. IF and RF Analog Lock Detect indicate when the PLL is in lock. When the loop is locked and either IF or RF Analog Lock Detect is selected, the MUXOUT pin will show a logic high with narrow low-going pulses. When the IF/RF Analog Lock Detect is chosen, the locked condition is indicated only when both IF and RF loops are locked. 2. The IF Counter Reset mode resets the R and AB counters in the IF section and also puts the IF charge pump into threestate. The RF Counter Reset mode resets the R and AB counters in the RF section and also puts the RF charge pump into three-state. The IF and RF Counter Reset mode does both of the above. Upon removal of the reset bits, the AB counter resumes counting in close alignment with the R counter (maximum error is one prescaler output cycle). 3. The Fastlock mode uses MUXOUT to switch a second loop filter damping resistor to ground during Fastlock operation. Activation of Fastlock occurs whenever RF CP Gain in the RF Reference counter is set to one. IF Power-Down If control bits C2, C1 are 0, 0, the data is transferred from the input shift register to the 14-bit IFR counter. Table III shows the input shift register data format for the IFR counter and the divide ratios possible. IF Phase Detector Polarity P1 sets the IF Phase Detector Polarity. When the IF VCO characteristics are positive this should be set to “1.” When they are negative it should be set to “0.” See Table III. IF Charge Pump Three-State P2 puts the IF charge pump into three-state mode when programmed to a “1.” It should be set to “0” for normal operation. See Table III. IF PROGRAM MODES Table III and Table V show how to set up the Program Modes in the ADF421x family. IF Charge Pump Currents IFCP2, IFCP1, IFCP0 program current setting for the IF charge pump. See Table III. PROGRAMMABLE IF AB COUNTER It is possible to program the ADF421x family for either synchronous or asynchronous power-down on either the IF or RF side. If control bits C2, C1 are 0, 1, the data in the input register is used to program the IF AB counter. The N counter consists of a 6-bit swallow counter (A counter) and 12-bit programmable counter (B counter). Table IV shows the input register data format for programming the IF AB counter and the possible divide ratios. Synchronous IF Power-Down Programming a “1” to P7 of the ADF421x family will initiate a power-down. If P2 of the ADF421x family has been set to “0” (normal operation), a synchronous power-down is conducted. The device will automatically put the charge pump into threestate and then complete the power-down. IF Prescaler Value P5 and P6 in the IF A, B Counter Latch sets the IF prescaler value. See Table IV. Asynchronous IF Power-Down If P2 of the ADF421x family has been set to “1” (three-state the IF charge pump), and P7 is subsequently set to “1,” an asynchronous power-down is conducted. The device will go into power-down on the rising edge of LE, which latches the “1” to the IF power-down bit (P7). Synchronous RF Power-Down Programming a “1” to P16 of the ADF421x family will initiate a power-down. If P10 of the ADF421x family has been set to “0” (normal operation), a synchronous power-down is conducted. The device will automatically put the charge pump into three-state and then complete the power-down. IF Power-Down Table III and Table V show the power-down bits in the ADF421x family. IF Fastlock The IF CP Gain bit (P8) of the IF N register in the ADF421x family is the Fastlock Enable Bit. Only when this is “1” is IF Fastlock enabled. When Fastlock is enabled, the IF CP current is set to its maximum value. Since the IF CP Gain bit is contained in the IF N Counter, only one write is needed to both program a new output frequency and also initiate Fastlock. To come out of Fastlock, the IF CP Gain bit on the IF N register must be set to “0.” See Table IV. Asynchronous RF Power-Down If P10 of the ADF421x family has been set to “1” (three-state the RF charge pump), and P16 is subsequently set to “1,” an asynchronous power-down is conducted. The device will go into power down on the rising edge of LE, which latches the “1” to the RF power-down bit (P16). Activation of either synchronous or asynchronous power-down forces the IF/RF loop’s R and AB dividers to their load state conditions and the IF/RF input section is debiased to a highimpedance state. The REFIN oscillator circuit is only disabled if both the IF and RF power-downs are set. The input register and latches remain active and are capable of loading and latching data during all the power-down modes. The IF/RF section of the devices will return to normal powered up operation immediately upon LE latching a “0” to the appropriate power-down bit. RF SECTION PROGRAMMABLE RF REFERENCE (R) COUNTER If control bits C2, C1 are 1, 0, the data is transferred from the input shift register to the 14-bit RFR counter. Table V shows the input shift register data format for the RFR counter and the possible divide ratios. RF Phase Detector Polarity P9 sets the IF Phase Detector Polarity. When the RF VCO characteristics are positive this should be set to “1.” When they are negative it should be set to “0.” See Table V. RF Charge Pump Three-State P10 puts the RF charge pump into three-state mode when programmed to a “1.” It should be set to “0” for normal operation. See Table V. –16– REV. A ADF4210/ADF4211/ADF4212/ADF4213 RF PROGRAM MODES APPLICATIONS SECTION Local Oscillator for GSM Handset Receiver Table III and Table V show how to set up the Program Modes in the ADF421x family. Figure 7 shows the ADF4210/ADF4211/ADF4212/ADF4213 being used with a VCO to produce the LO for a GSM base station transmitter. RF Charge Pump Currents RFCP2, RFCP1, RFCP0 program current setting for the RF charge pump. See Table V. The reference input signal is applied to the circuit at FREFIN and, in this case, is terminated in 50 Ω. A typical GSM system would have a 13 MHz TCXO driving the reference input without any 50 Ω termination. In order to have a channel spacing of 200 kHz (the GSM standard), the reference input must be divided by 65, using the on-chip reference. PROGRAMMABLE RF N COUNTER If control bits C2, C1 are 1, 1, the data in the input register is used to program the RF N (A + B) counter. The N counter consists of a 6-bit swallow counter (A Counter) and 12-bit programmable counter (B Counter). Table IV shows the input register data format for programming the RF N counter and the possible divide ratios. WIDEBAND PLL Many of the wireless applications for synthesizers and VCOs in PLLs are narrowband in nature. These applications include various wireless standards such as GSM, DSC1800, CDMA, or WCDMA. In each of these cases, the total tuning range for the local oscillator is less than 100 MHz. However, there are also wideband applications where the local oscillator could have up to an octave tuning range. For example, cable TV tuners have a total range of about 400 MHz. Figure 8 shows an application where the ADF4213 is used to control and program the Micronetics M3500–1324. The loop filter was designed for an RF output of 2100 MHz, a loop bandwidth of 40 kHz, a PFD frequency of 1 MHz, ICP of 10 mA (2.5 mA synthesizer ICP multiplied by the gain factor of 4), VCO KD of 80 MHz/V (sensitivity of the M3500–1324 at an output of 2100 MHz) and a phase margin of 45°C. RF Prescaler Value P14 and P15 in the RF A, B Counter Latch sets the RF prescaler value. See Table VI. RF Power-Down Table III and Table V show the power-down bits in the ADF421x family. RF Fastlock The RF CP Gain bit (P17) of the RF N register in the ADF421x family is the Fastlock Enable Bit. Only when this is “1” is IF Fastlock enabled. When Fastlock is enabled, the RF CP current is set to its maximum value. Also an extra loop filter damping resistor to ground is switched in using the FL O pin, thus compensating for the change in loop characteristics while in Fastlock. Since the RF CP Gain bit is contained in the RF N Counter, only one write is needed to both program a new output frequency and also initiate Fastlock. To come out of Fastlock, the RF CP Gain bit on the RF N register must be set to “0.” See Table VI. In narrowband applications, there is generally a small variation (less than 10%) in output frequency and also a small variation (typically < 10%) in VCO sensitivity over the range.

Wideband PLL Circuit in wide-band applications both of these parameters have a much greater variation. In Figure 8, for example, we have –25% and +30% variation in the RF output from the nominal 1.8 GHz. The sensitivity of the VCO can vary from 130 MHz/V at 1900 MHz to 30 MHz/V at 2400 MHz. Variations in these parameters will change the loop bandwidth. This in turn can affect stability and lock time. By changing the programmable ICP, it is possible to obtain compensation for these varying loop conditions and ensure that the loop is always operating close to optimal conditions. 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 will be about 180 kHz. SCLOCK MOSI ADuC812 I/O PORTS The maximum allowable serial clock rate is 20 MHz. This means that the maximum update rate possible for the device is 909 kHz, or one update every 1.1 ms. This is certainly more than adequate for systems that will have typical lock times in hundreds of microseconds. ADuC812 to ADF421x Family Interface Figure 9 shows the interface between the ADF421x 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 ADF421x 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. SDATA LE INTERFACING The ADF4210/ADF4211/ADF4212/ADF4213 family has a simple SPI-compatible serial interface for writing to the device. SCLK, SDATA, and LE control the data transfer. When LE (Latch Enable) goes high, the 22 bits that have been clocked into the input register on each rising edge of SCLK will be transferred to the appropriate latch. See Figure 1 for the Timing Diagram and Table I for the Latch Truth Table. SCLK CE ADF4210/ ADF4211/ ADF4212/ ADF4213 MUXOUT (LOCK DETECT) Figure 9. ADuC812 to ADF421x Family Interface ADSP-21xx to ADF421x Family Interface Figure 10 shows the interface between the ADF421x family and the ADSP-21xx Digital Signal Processor. As previously discussed, the ADF421x family needs a 24-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. Set up the word length for eight 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. SCLK DT SDATA ADSP-21xx TFS LE CE I/O FLAGS On first applying power to the ADF421x family, it needs four writes (one each to the R counter latch and the AB counter latch for both RF1 and RF2 sides) for the output to become active.

A ADF4210/ADF4211/ADF4212/ADF4213 Thermal vias may be used on the printed circuit board 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 grid pitch. The via diameter should be between 0.3 mm and 0.33 mm and the via barrel should be plated with 1 oz. copper to plug the via. The user should connect the printed circuit board pad to AGND. PCB Guidelines for Chip Scale Package The lands on the chip scale package (CP-20), are rectangular. The printed circuit board pad for these should be 0.1 mm longer than the package land length and 0.05 mm wider than the package land width. The land should be centered on the pad. This will ensure that the solder joint size is maximized. The bottom of the chip scale package has a central thermal pad. The thermal pad on the printed circuit board should be at least as large as this exposed pad. On the printed circuit board, there should be clearance of at least 0.25 mm between the thermal pad and inner edges of the pad pattern. This will ensure that shorting is avoided.
