Fast-lock mode with built-in timer
The ADF4154 is a fractional-N frequency synthesizer that
implements local oscillators 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, and a programmable reference divider.
There is a Σ-Δ based fractional interpolator to allow programmable fractional-N division. The INT, FRAC, and MOD registers define an overall N divider (N = (INT + (FRAC/MOD))).
In addition, the 4-bit reference counter (R counter) allows
selectable REFIN frequencies at the PFD input. A complete
phase-locked loop (PLL) can be implemented if the synthesizer
is used with an external loop filter and a voltage controlled
oscillator (VCO).
APPLICATIONS
A key feature of the ADF4154 is the fast-lock mode with a builtin timer. The user can program a predetermined count-down
time value so that the PLL will remain in wide bandwidth mode,
instead of having to control this time externally.
CATV equipment
Base stations for mobile radio (GSM, PCS, DCS,
CDMA, WCDMA)
Wireless handsets (GSM, PCS, DCS, CDMA, WCDMA)
Wireless LANs
Communications test equipment
Control of all on-chip registers is via a simple 3-wire interface.
The device operates with a power supply ranging from 2.7 V to
3.3 V, and can be powered down when not in use.

ESD 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 this product 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.

where RSET = 5.1 kΩ and ICPmax = 5 mA.
Charge Pump Output. When enabled, this provides ±ICP to the external loop filter, which in turn drives
the external VCO.
Charge Pump Ground. This is the ground return path for the charge pump.
Analog Ground. This is the ground return path of the prescaler.
Complementary Input to the RF Prescaler. This point should be decoupled to the ground plane with a
small bypass capacitor, typically 100 pF (see Figure 18).
Input to the RF Prescaler. This small-signal input is normally ac-coupled from the VCO.
Positive Power Supply for the RF Section. Decoupling capacitors to the digital ground plane should be
placed as close as possible to this pin. AVDD has a value of 3 V ± 10%. AVDD must have the same voltage
as DVDD.
Reference Input. This is a CMOS input with a nominal threshold of VDD/2 and an equivalent input
resistance of 100 kΩ (see Figure 17). This input can be driven from a TTL or CMOS crystal oscillator, or it
can be ac-coupled.
Digital Ground.
Σ-∆ Power. Decoupling capacitors to the digital ground plane should be placed as close as possible to
this pin. SDVDD has a value of 3 V ± 10%. SDVDD must have the same voltage as DVDD.
Serial Clock Input. This serial clock is used to clock in the serial data to the registers. The data is latched
into the shift register on the CLK rising edge. This input is a high impedance CMOS input.
Serial Data Input. The serial data is loaded MSB first with the two LSBs as the control bits. This input is a
high impedance CMOS input.
Load Enable, CMOS Input. When LE is high, the data stored in the shift registers is loaded into one of
the four latches, the latch being selected using the control bits.
This multiplexer output allows either the RF lock detect, the scaled RF, or the scaled reference
frequency to be accessed externally.
Positive Power Supply for the Digital Section. Decoupling capacitors to the digital ground plane should
be placed as close as possible to this pin. DVDD has a value of 3 V ± 10%. DVDD must have the same
voltage as AVDD.
Charge Pump Power Supply. This should be greater than or equal to VDD. In systems where VDD is 3 V, it
can be set to 5.5 V and used to drive a VCO with a tuning range of up to 5.5 V.

FPFD = REFIN × (1 + D ) R
REFERENCE INPUT SECTION
The reference input stage is shown in Figure 17. 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 the REFIN pin is not loaded on
power-down.

produces an output proportional to the phase and frequency
difference between them. Figure 20 is a simplified schematic.
The PFD includes a fixed delay element that sets the width of
the antibacklash pulse, which is typically 3 ns. This pulse
ensures that there is no dead zone in the PFD transfer function
and gives a consistent reference spur level.

The INT, FRAC, and MOD values, in conjunction with the
R counter, make it possible to generate output frequencies that
are spaced by fractions of the phase frequency detector (PFD).

MUXOUT AND LOCK DETECT
The output multiplexer on the ADF4154 allows the user to
access various internal points on the chip. The state of
MUXOUT is controlled by M3, M2, and M1 (see Table 9).
Figure 21 shows the MUXOUT section in block diagram form.
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, the lock detect is high with
narrow low-going pulses.
PROGRAM MODES
Table 5 through Table 10 show how to set up the program
modes in the ADF4154.
DVDD
The ADF4154 programmable modulus is double-buffered. This
means that two events have to occur before the part uses a new
modulus value. First, the new modulus value is latched into the
device by writing to the R-divider register. Second, a new write
must be performed on the N-divider register. Therefore, whenever the modulus value is updated, the N-divider register must
then be written to so that the modulus value is loaded correctly.

INPUT SHIFT REGISTERS
The ADF4154 digital section includes a 4-bit RF R counter, a
9-bit RF N counter, a 12-bit FRAC counter, and a 12-bit
modulus 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 and C1) in the shift register.
These are the 2 LSBs, DB1, and DB0, as shown in Figure 2. The
truth table for these bits is shown in Table 5. Table 6 shows a
summary of how the latches are programmed.

ADF4154
REGISTER DEFINITION
Prescaler (P/P + 1)
N-Divider Register, R0
The dual-modulus prescaler (P/P + 1), along with the INT,
FRAC, and MOD counters, determines the overall division ratio
from the RFIN to the PFD input. Operating at CML levels, it
takes the clock from the RF input stage and divides it down for
the counters. It is based on a synchronous 4/5 core. When set to
4/5, the maximum RF frequency allowed is 2 GHz. Therefore,
when operating the ADF4154 above 2 GHz, this must be set to
8/9. The prescaler limits the INT value.
The on-chip N-divider register is programmed by setting
R0[1, 0] to [0, 0]. Table 8 shows the input data format for
programming this register.
9-Bit INT Value
These nine bits control what is loaded as the INT value. This is
used to determine the overall feedback division factor (see
Equation 1).
With P = 4/5, NMIN = 31.
With P = 8/9, NMIN = 91.
12-Bit FRAC Value
These 12 bits control what is loaded as the FRAC value into the
fractional interpolator. This value helps determine the overall
feedback division factor (see Equation 1). The FRAC value must
be less than the value loaded into the MOD register.
Fast-Lock
The prescaler can also influence the phase noise performance. If
INT < 91, a prescaler of 4/5 should be used. For applications
where INT > 91, P = 8/9 should be used for optimum noise
performance (see Table 9).
4-Bit RF R Counter
Setting the part to logic high enables fast-lock mode. To use
fast-lock, the required time value for wide bandwidth mode
needs to be loaded into the R-divider register.
The charge pump current increases from 16× the minimum
current and reverts back to 1× the minimum current once the
time value loaded has expired.
The 4-bit RF R counter allows the input reference frequency
(REFIN) to be divided down to produce the reference clock to
the phase frequency detector (PFD). Division ratios from 1 to
15 are allowed.
12-Bit Interpolator Modulus/Fast-Lock Timer
Bits DB13–DB2 have two functions depending on the value of
the load control bit: modulus or fast lock timer value.
See the Fast-Lock Timer and Register Sequences section for
more information.
When the load control bit = 0 (DB23), the required modulus
may be programmed into the R-divider register (DB13–DB2).
R-DIVIDER REGISTER, R1
The on-chip R-divider register is programmed by setting
R1[1, 0] to [0, 1]. Table 9 shows the input data format for
programming this register.
When the load control bit = 1 (DB23), the required fast-lock
timer value may be programmed into the R-divider register
(DB13–DB2).
Load Control
When set to logic high, the value being programmed in the
modulus is not loaded into the modulus. Instead, it sets the fastlock timer. The value of the fast-lock timer/FPFD is the amount
of time the PLL stays in wide bandwidth mode.
MUXOUT
The on-chip multiplexer is controlled by R1[22...20] on the
ADF4154. Table 9 shows the truth table.
Digital Lock Detect
The digital lock detect output goes high if there are 40
successive PFD cycles with an input error of less than 15 ns. It
stays high until a new channel is programmed or until the error
at the PFD input exceeds 30 ns for one or more cycles. If the
loop bandwidth is narrow compared to the PFD frequency, the
error at the PFD inputs may drop below 15 ns for 40 cycles
around a cycle slip. Therefore, the digital lock detect may go
falsely high for a short period until the error again exceeds
30 ns. In this case, the digital lock detect is reliable only as a
loss-of-lock detector.
This programmable register sets the fractional modulus, which
is the ratio of the PFD frequency to the channel step resolution
on the RF output. Refer to the RF Synthesizer: A Worked
Example section for more information.
The ADF4154 programmable modulus is double-buffered. This
means that two events must occur before the part uses a new
modulus value. First, the new modulus value is latched into the
device by writing to the R-divider register. Second, a new write
must be performed on the N-divider register. Therefore, whenever the modulus value is updated, the N-divider register must
be written to so that the modulus value is loaded correctly.
CONTROL REGISTER, R2
The on-chip control register is programmed by setting R2[1, 0]
to [0, 1]. Table 10 shows the input data format for programming
this register.
RF Counter Reset
DB3 is the RF counter reset bit for the ADF4154. When this is 1,
the RF synthesizer counters are held in reset. For normal
operation, this bit should be 0.
Rev. 0 | Page 15 of 20
ADF4154
RF Charge Pump Three-State
NOISE AND SPUR REGISTER, R3
This bit puts the charge pump into three-state mode when
programmed to 1. It should be set to 0 for normal operation.
The on-chip noise and spur register is programmed by setting
R3[1, 0] to [1, 1]. Table 7 shows the input data format for
programming this register.
RF Power-Down
DB4 on the ADF4154 provides the programmable power-down
mode. Setting Bit DB4 to 1 powers down the device. Setting
Bit DB4 to 0 returns the synthesizer to normal operation. While
in software power-down mode, the part retains all information
in its registers. Only when supplies are removed are the register
contents lost.
When a power-down is activated, the following events occur:
1.
All active dc current paths are removed.
2.
The synthesizer counters are forced to their load
state conditions.
3.
The charge pump is forced into three-state mode.
4.
The digital lock detect circuitry is reset.
5.
The RFIN input is de-biased.
6.
The input register remains active and capable of loading
and latching data.
Lock Detect Precision (LDP)
When the LDP bit is programmed to 0, 24 consecutive reference
cycles of 15 ns must occur before the digital lock detect is set.
When this bit is programmed to 1, 40 consecutive reference
cycles of 15 ns must occur before digital lock detect is set.
Phase Detector Polarity
DB6 in the ADF4154 sets the phase detector polarity. When the
VCO characteristics are positive, this should be set to 1. When
they are negative, it should be set to 0.
Noise and Spur Mode
Noise and spur mode allows the user to optimize a design either
for improved spurious performance or for improved phase
noise performance. When the lowest spur setting is chosen,
dither is enabled. This randomizes the fractional quantization
noise so that it looks more like white noise rather than spurious
noise. This means that the part is optimized for improved
spurious performance. This operation would normally be used
when the PLL closed-loop bandwidth is wide for fast-locking
applications. A wide-loop bandwidth is seen as a loop
bandwidth greater than 1/10 of the RFOUT channel step
resolution (fRES). A wide-loop filter does not attenuate the spurs
to a level that a narrow-loop bandwidth would. When the low
noise and spur setting is enabled, dither is disabled. This
optimizes the synthesizer to operate with improved noise
performance. However, the spurious performance is degraded
in this mode compared to the lowest spurs setting. To further
improve noise performance, the lowest noise setting option can
be used, which reduces the phase noise. As well as disabling the
dither, it ensures that the charge pump operates in an optimum
region for noise performance. This setting is extremely useful
where a narrow-loop filter bandwidth is available. The
synthesizer ensures extremely low noise and the filter attenuates
the spurs. The typical performance characteristics give the user
an idea of the trade-off in a typical WCDMA setup for the
different noise and spur settings.
RESERVED BITS
Charge Pump Current Setting
These bits should be set to 0 for normal operation.
DB7, DB8, DB9, and DB10 set the charge pump current, which
should be set according to the loop filter design (see Table 10).
RF SYNTHESIZER: A WORKED EXAMPLE
REFIN Doubler
Setting the REFIN bit to 0 feeds the REFIN signal directly to the
4-bit RF R counter, which disables the doubler. Setting the REFIN
bit to 1 multiplies the REFIN frequency by a factor of 2 before
feeding into the 4-bit R counter. When the doubler is disabled,
the REFIN falling edge is the active edge at the PFD input to the
fractional synthesizer. When the doubler is enabled, both the
rising and falling edges of REFIN become active edges at the
PFD input.
When the doubler is enabled and the lowest spur mode is
chosen, the in-band phase noise performance is sensitive to the
REFIN duty cycle. The phase noise degradation can be as much
as 5 dB for the REFIN duty cycles outside a 45% to 55% range.
The phase noise is insensitive to the REFIN duty cycle in the
lowest noise mode and in the lowest noise and spur mode. The
phase noise is insensitive to the REFIN duty cycle when the
doubler is disabled.
This equation governs how the synthesizer should be
programmed.
RFOUT = [INT + (FRAC/MOD)] × [FPFD]
(3)
where:
RFOUT is the RF frequency output.
INT is the integer division factor.
FRAC is the fractionality.
MOD is the modulus.
FPFD = [REFIN × (1 = D)/R]
where:
REFIN is the reference frequency input.
D is the RF REFIN doubler bit.
R is the RF reference division factor.

ADF4154
For example, in a GSM 1800 system, where a 1.8 GHz RF
frequency output (RFOUT) is required, a 13 MHz reference
frequency input (REFIN) is available and a 200 kHz channel
resolution (fRES) is required on the RF output.
MOD = REFIN f RES
MOD = 13 MHz 200 kHz = 65
From Equation 4,
FPFD = [13 MHz × (1 + 0)/1] = 13 MHz
1.8 G = 13 MHz × (INT + FRAC 65) ≥
(5)
(6)
INT = 138; ≥ FRAC = 30
resolution. A 13 MHz reference signal could be fed directly to
the PFD. The modulus would be programmed to 520 when in
PDC mode (13 MHz/520 = 25 kHz). The modulus would be
reprogrammed to 65 for GSM 1800 operation (13 MHz/65 =
200 kHz). It is important that the PFD frequency remains constant (13 MHz). By keeping the PFD constant, the user can
design a one-loop filter that can be used in both setups without
running into stability issues. The ratio of the RF frequency to
the PFD frequency affects the loop design. Keeping this
relationship constant instead of changing the modulus factor
results in a stable filter.
SPURIOUS OPTIMIZATION AND FAST-LOCK
MODULUS
The choice of modulus (MOD) depends on the reference signal
(REFIN) available and the channel resolution (fRES) required at
the RF output. For example, a GSM system with 13 MHz REFIN
would set the modulus to 65, resulting in the RF output resolution (fRES) of 200 kHz (13 MHz/65) that is necessary for GSM.
REFERENCE DOUBLER AND REFERENCE DIVIDER
The reference doubler on-chip allows the input reference signal
to be doubled. This is useful for increasing the PFD comparison
frequency. Making the PFD frequency higher improves the
noise performance of the system. Doubling the PFD frequency
usually results in an improvement in noise performance of 3 dB.
It is important to note that the PFD cannot be operated above
32 MHz due to a limitation in the speed of the Σ-Δ circuit of
the N divider.
12-BIT PROGRAMMABLE MODULUS
Unlike most other fractional-N PLLs, the ADF4154 allows the
user to program the modulus over a 12-bit range. This means
that the user can set up the part in many different configurations for the application, when combined with the reference
doubler and the 4-bit R counter.
The ADF4154 can be optimized for low spurious signals by
using the noise and spur register. However, in order to achieve
fast-lock time, a wider loop bandwidth is needed. Note that a
wider loop bandwidth can lead to notable spurious signals,
which cannot be reduced significantly by the loop filter.
Using the fast-lock feature can achieve the same fast-lock time
as the noise and spur register, but with the advantage of lower
spurious signals, since the final loop bandwidth is reduced by
a quarter.
FAST-LOCK TIMER AND REGISTER SEQUENCES
If the fast-lock mode is used, a timer value needs to be loaded
into the PLL to determine the time of the wide bandwidth.
When the load control bit = 1, the timer value is loaded via the
12-bit modulus value. To use fast-lock, the PLL must be written
to in the following sequence:
1.
Load the R-divider register with DB23 = 1 and the chosen
fast-lock timer value (DB13–DB2) instead of the modulus.
Note that the duration of time the PLL remains in wide
bandwidth is equal to the fast-lock timer/FPFD.
2.
Load the noise and spur register.
For example, consider an application that requires a 1.75 GHz
RF and a 200 kHz channel step resolution. The system has a
13 MHz reference signal.
3.
Load the control register.
4.
One possible setup is feeding the 13 MHz directly to the PFD
and programming the modulus to divide by 65, which would
result in the required 200 kHz resolution.
Load R-divider register with DB23 = 0 and MUXOUT =
110 (DB22–DB20). All the other needed parameters,
including the modulus, also need to be loaded.
5.
Load the N-divider register, including fast-lock = 1
(DB23), to activate fast-lock mode.
Another possible setup is using the reference doubler to create
26 MHz from the 13 MHz input signal. The 26 MHz signal is
then fed into the PFD, which programs the modulus to divide
by 130. This setup also results in 200 kHz resolution and offers
superior phase noise performance over the previous setup.
Once this procedure is completed, future frequency jumps
deploying fast-lock need to repeat only Step 5.
The programmable modulus is also very useful for multistandard applications. If a dual-mode phone requires PDC and
GSM 1800 standards, the programmable modulus is a huge
benefit. The PDC requires a 25 kHz channel step resolution,
whereas the GSM 1800 requires a 200 kHz channel step

3.
Load the R-divider register with DB23 = 0 and other
necessary parameters.
4.

(DB23) for normal operation.
Predicting Where They Appear
If the time period chosen for the wide bandwidth is 40 µs, then
Fast-lock timer value = time in wide bandwidth × FPFD
Fast-lock timer value = 40 µs × 13 MHz = 520
Therefore, 520 has to be loaded into the R-divider register in
Step 1 of the sequence described in the Fast-Lock Timer and
Register Sequences section.
FAST-LOCK: LOOP FILTER TOPOLOGY
To use fast-lock mode, an extra connection from the PLL to the
loop filter is needed. The MUXOUT must reduce the damping
resistor in the loop filter to ¼ while in wide bandwidth mode.
This is required because the charge pump current is increased
by 16 while in wide bandwidth mode and stability must be
ensured. This can be done with the following two topologies:
1.
Divide the damping resistor (R1) into two values (R1 and
R1A) of ratio 1:3 (see Figure 22).
2.
Use an extra resistor (R1A) and connect it directly from the
MUXOUT, as shown in Figure 22. The extra resistor must
be chosen such that the parallel combination of an extra
resistor and the damping resistor (R1) is reduced to ¼ of
the original value of R1 alone (see Figure 23).

1.
As in integer-N PLLs, spurs appear at PFD frequency offsets
from the carrier. In a fractional-N PLL, spurs also appear at
frequencies equal to the RFOUT channel step resolution (fRES).
The third-order fractional interpolator engine of the ADF4154
may also introduce subfractional spurs. If the fractional denominator (MOD) is divisible by 2, spurs appear at ½ fRES. If the
fractional denominator (MOD) is divisible by 3, spurs appear at
1/3 fRES. Harmonics of all spurs mentioned also appear. With the
lowest spur mode enabled, the fractional and subfractional
spurs are attenuated dramatically. The worst-case spurs appear
when the fraction is programmed to 1/MOD. For example, in a
GSM 900 MHz system with a 26 MHz PFD frequency and an
RFOUT channel step resolution (fRES) of 200 kHz, the MOD = 130.
PFD spurs appear at 26 MHz offset and fractional spurs appear
at 200 kHz offset. Since the MOD is divisible by 2, subfractional
spurs are also present at 100 kHz offset.
FILTER DESIGN—ADISIMPLL
A filter design and analysis program is available to help the user
implement the PLL design. Visit www.analog.com/pll for a free
download of the ADIsimPLL software. The software designs,
simulates, and analyzes the entire PLL frequency and time
domain response. Various passive and active filter architectures
are allowed. Rev. 2 of ADIsimPLL allows analysis of the
ADF4154.
INTERFACING
The ADF4154 has a simple, SPI® compatible serial interface for
writing to the device. SCLK, SDATA, and LE control the data
transfer. When LE (latch enable) is high, the 22 bits that have
been clocked into the input register on each rising edge of
SCLK are transferred to the appropriate latch. See Figure 2 for
the timing diagram and Table 5 for the latch truth table.
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 µs. This is more than adequate
for systems that have typical lock times in the hundreds of
microseconds.

ADF4154
ADSP-21xx
Figure 24 shows the interface between the ADF4154 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, bring the I/O
port driving LE low. Each latch of the ADF4154 needs a 24-bit
word, which is accomplished by writing three 8-bit bytes from
the MicroConverter to the device. After the third byte is written,
the LE input should be brought high to complete the transfer.
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 is
180 kHz.

PCB DESIGN 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 ensures that the solder joint size is maximized.
SDATA
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 a clearance of at least 0.25 mm between the thermal
pad and the inner edges of the pad pattern to avoid shorting.

ADSP-2181 Interface
Figure 25 shows the interface between the ADF4154 and the
ADSP-21xx digital signal processor. As discussed previously, the
ADF4154 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 each of 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.
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 into the thermal pad at
1.2 mm pitch grid. The via diameter should be between 0.3 mm
and 0.33 mm, and the via barrel should be plated with 1 oz. of
copper to plug the via.
The user should connect the printed circuit board thermal pad
to AGND.
