Programmable modulus on fractional-N synthesizer
Trade-off noise versus spurious performance
The ADF4153 is a fractional-N frequency synthesizer that
implements local oscillators in the upconversion and
downconversion 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
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 operate with a power supply ranging from 2.7 V to
3.3 V and can be powered down when not in use.

RSET
With RSET = 5.1 kΩ, 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 17).
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 16). This input can be driven from a TTL or CMOS crystal oscillator, or it
can be ac-coupled.
Digital Ground.
∑-∆ 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 being 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.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
REFERENCE INPUT SECTION
INT, FRAC, MOD, AND R RELATIONSHIP
The reference input stage is shown in Figure 16. 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.
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).
See the RF Synthesizer: A Worked Example section for more
information. The RF VCO frequency (RFOUT) equation is
RFOUT = FPFD × (INT + (FRAC MOD ))

PHASE FREQUENCY DETECTOR (PFD) AND

INPUT SHIFT REGISTERS
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 19 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 ADF4153 digital section includes a 4-bit RF R counter, a 9bit 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.

The ADF4153 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, any
time that the modulus value has been updated, the N divider
register must be written to after this, to ensure that the modulus
value is loaded correctly.

MUXOUT AND LOCK DETECT
The output multiplexer on the ADF4153 allows the user to
access various internal points on the chip. The state of
MUXOUT is controlled by M3, M2, and M1 (see Table 8).
Figure 20 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, it is high with narrow low-going
pulses.

ADF4153
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 ADF4153 above 2 GHz, this must be set to
8/9. The prescaler limits the INT value.
N DIVIDER REGISTER, R0
With R0[1, 0] set to [0, 0], the on-chip N divider register is
programmed. Table 7 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. It is used
in Equation 1.
With P = 4/5, NMIN = 31.
12-Bit FRAC Value
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 8).
These 12 bits control what is loaded as the FRAC value into the
fractional interpolator. This is part of what determines the
overall feedback division factor. It is used in Equation 1. The
FRAC value must be less than or equal to the value loaded into
the MOD register.
Fastlock
When set to logic high, this enables the fastlock. This sets the
charge pump current to its maximum value. When set to logic
low, the charge pump current is equal to the value programmed
in the function register.
R DIVIDER REGISTER, R1
With R1[1, 0] set to [0, 1], the on-chip R divider register is
programmed. Table 8 shows the input data format for
programming this register.
With P = 8/9, NMIN = 91.
4-Bit RF R Counter
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
This programmable register sets the fractional modulus. This 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 ADF4153 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, any
time that the modulus value has been updated, the N divider
register must be written to after this, to ensure that the modulus
value is loaded correctly.
Load Control
When set to logic high, the value being programmed in the
modulus is not loaded into the modulus. Instead, it sets the
resync delay of the Σ-Δ. This is done to ensure phase resync
when changing frequencies. See the Phase Resync and Spur
Consistency section for more information and a worked
example.
CONTROL REGISTER, R2
MUXOUT
With R2[1, 0] set to [0, 1], the on-chip control register is
programmed. Table 9 shows the input data format for
programming this register.
The on-chip multiplexer is controlled by R1[22 ... 20] on the
ADF4153. Table 8 shows the truth table.
Digital Lock Detect
RF Counter Reset
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.
Prescaler (P/P + 1)
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
DB3 is the RF counter reset bit for the ADF4153. When this is 1,
the RF synthesizer counters are held in reset. For normal
operation, this bit should be 0.
RF Charge Pump Three-State
This bit puts the charge pump into three-state mode when
programmed to 1. It should be set to 0 for normal operation.
RF Power-Down
DB4 on the ADF4153 provides the programmable power-down
mode. Setting this bit to 1 performs a power-down. Setting this
bit 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.
Rev. A | Page 17 of 24
ADF4153
When a power-down is activated, the following events occur:
DB6 in the ADF4153 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.
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. (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 also
ensures that the charge pump is operating 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.
Charge Pump Current Setting
RESERVED BITS
DB7, DB8, and DB9 set the charge pump current setting. This
should be set to the charge pump current that the loop filter is
designed with (see Table 9).
These bits should be set to 0 for normal operation.
REFIN Doubler
This equation governs how the synthesizer should be
programmed.
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 debiased.
6.
The input register remains active and capable of loading
and latching data.
Lock Detect Precision (LDP)
When this bit is programmed to 0, three consecutive reference
cycles of 15 ns must occur before digital lock detect is set. When
this bit is programmed to 1, five consecutive reference cycles of
15 ns must occur before digital lock detect is set.
Phase Detector Polarity
Setting this bit to 0 feeds the REFIN signal directly to the 4-bit
RF R counter, disabling the doubler. Setting this 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 REFIN duty cycle when the doubler
is disabled.

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,

Example: In a GSM 1800 system, where 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
(5)
1.8 G = 13 MHz × (INT + FRAC 65) ≥

INT = 138; ≥ FRAC = 30
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. This means that the RF output
resolution (fRES) is the 200 kHz (13 MHz/65) 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.

GSM 1800 requires 200 kHz channel step 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). This allows
the user to design one loop filter that can be used in both setups
without running into stability issues. It is the ratio of the RF
frequency to the PFD frequency that affects the loop design.
Keeping this relationship constant, instead of changing the
modulus factor, results in a stable filter.
SPURIOUS OPTIMIZATION AND FASTLOCK
As mentioned earlier, the part can be optimized for spurious
performance. However, in fast locking applications, the loop
bandwidth needs to be wide, and therefore the filter does not
provide much attenuation of the spurs. The programmable
charge pump can be used to get around this issue. The filter is
designed for a narrow-loop bandwidth so that steady-state
spurious specifications are met. This is designed using the
lowest charge pump current setting. To implement fastlock
during a frequency jump, the charge pump current is set to the
maximum setting for the duration of the jump. This has the
effect of widening the loop bandwidth, which improves lock
time. When the PLL has locked to the new frequency, the charge
pump is again programmed to the lowest charge pump current
setting. This narrows the loop bandwidth to its original cutoff
frequency to allow better attenuation of the spurs than the
wide-loop bandwidth.
PHASE RESYNC AND SPUR CONSISTENCY
12-BIT PROGRAMMABLE MODULUS
Unlike most other fractional-N PLLs, the ADF4153 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.
For example, here is an application that requires 1.75 GHz RF
and 200 kHz channel step resolution. The system has a 13 MHz
reference signal.
One possible setup is feeding the 13 MHz directly to the PFD
and programming the modulus to divide by 65. This would
result in the required 200 kHz resolution.
Another possible setup is using the reference doubler to create
26 MHz from the 13 MHz input signal. This 26 MHz is then fed
into the PFD. The modulus is now programmed to divide by
130. This also results in 200 kHz resolution and offers superior
phase noise performance over the previous setup.
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
Setting the RESYNC bits [S4 ,S3, S2, and S1] enables the phase
RESYNC feature. With a fractional denominator of MOD, a
fractional-N PLL can settle with any one of (2 × π)/MOD valid
phase offsets with respect to the reference input. This is
different from integer-N where the RF output always settles to
the same static phase offset with respect to the input reference,
which is zero ideally. This is not an issue in applications that
require only a consistent frequency lock. When RESYNC is
enabled, it also ensures that spur levels remain consistent when
the PLL returns to a certain frequency. This is due to the fact
that the RESYNC function resets the Σ-Δ modulator. RESYNC
is enabled by setting the S4 to S1 bits in R2 to a nonzero value.
When the S4 to S1 bits are 0, 0, 0, and 0, RESYNC is disabled.
For applications where a consistent phase relationship between
the output and reference is required (i.e., digital beam forming),
the ADF4153 can be used with the phase resync feature enabled.
This ensures that if the user programs the PLL to jump from
Frequency (and Phase) A to Frequency (and Phase) B and back
again to Frequency A, the PLL returns to the original phase
(Phase A).

ADF4153
When enabled, it activates every time the user programs
Register R0 to set a new output frequency. However, if a cycle
slip occurs in the settling transient after the phase RESYNC
operation, the phase RESYNC is lost. This can be avoided by
delaying the RESYNC activation until the locking transient is
close to its final frequency. This is done by rewriting to R1 after
R1 has been set up as normal. Setting load control [DB23]
allows this. When set, instead of determining the fractional
denominator, the MOD bits [M12 to M1] are used to set a time
interval from when the new channel is programmed to the time
the RESYNC is activated. This is called the delay. Its value
should be programmed to set a time interval that is at least as
long as the RF PLL lock time.
INTERFACING
For example, if REFIN = 26 MHz and MOD = 130 to give
200 kHz output steps (fRES), and the RF loop has a settling
time of 150 µs, then delay should be programmed to 3,900,
as 26 MHz × 150 µs = 3,900.
ADuC812 Interface
SPURIOUS SIGNALS—PREDICTING WHERE THEY
WILL APPEAR
Just 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 ADF4153
may also introduce subfractional spurs. If the fractional
denominator (MOD) is divisible by 2, spurs appear at 1/2 fRES. If
the fractional denominator (MOD) is divisible by 3, spurs
appear at 1/3 fRES. Harmonics of all spurs mentioned will also
appear. With the lowest spur mode enabled, the fractional and
subfractional spurs is 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 MOD is
divisible by 2, subfractional spurs are also present at 100 kHz
offset.
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.
Figure 21 shows the interface between the ADF4153 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 ADF4153 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.

If the application requires the delay to be greater than 4095, the
RESYNC bits should be increased. For example, if the lock time
above is 1.5 ms, the delay should be programmed to 26 MHz ×
1.5 ms = 39,000. In this case, program M12 to M1 to 3,900 and
program S4 to S1 to 10. The delay is 3,900 × 10 = 39,000.
The ADF4153 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.

ADSP-2181 Interface
Figure 22 shows the interface between the ADF4153 and the
ADSP-21xx digital signal processor. As discussed previously, the
ADF4153 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.

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.
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. This ensures that
shorting is avoided.
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
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. copper
to plug the via.
