Functional Description General The SL1935 is a complete wideband direct conversion tuner incorporating an on board frequency synthesiser and LNA/AGC, optimised for application in digital satellite receiver systems. The device offers a highly integrated solution to a satellite tuner function, incorporating an I2C bus interface controller, a low phase noise PLL frequency synthesiser and all tuner analogue functionality. The analogue blocks include the reference oscillator, consisting of two independent oscillators, a phase splitter, RF preamplifier with AGC facility, channel mixers and baseband amplifiers incorporating two selectable baseband paths, allowing for two externally definable bandwidths. In this application two varactor tuned tanks, a reference crystal and baseband filtering components are required to complete the tuner system. A buffered crystal frequency output is available to clock the QPSK demodulator and powers up in the active state. The I2C bus interface controls the frequency synthesiser, the local oscillator, the baseband path selection, the buffered reference frequency output and an external switching port. Figure 2 shows the device block diagram and pin allocations are shown in Figure 1. Units MHz dBm dB dB dB dBm dBm dBm V dB deg dB dBc/Hz dBm dBc dBc MHz dBc/Hz Quadrature Downconverter Section In normal application the tuner IF frequency of typically 950 to 2150MHz is fed direct to the SL1935 RF input through an appropriate impedance match (Fig.16) and LNB switching. The input stage is optimised for both NF and signal handling. The signal handling of the front end is designed to offer immunity to input composite overload without the requirement of a tracking filter. RF input impedance is shown in Fig.3. The RF input amplifier feeds an AGC stage and provides system gain control. The system AGC gain range will guarantee an operating dynamic range of -70 to -20dBm. The AGC is controlled by the AGC sender and is optimised for S/N and S/I performance across the full dynamic range. Details of the AGC characteristics, variations in IIP3, IIP2, P1dB and NF are illustrated in Figs.4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 respectively. The required I and Q local oscillator frequencies for quadrature downconversion are generated by the onboard reference oscillators designated ‘VCOS’ and ‘VCOV’. VCOS operates nominally from 1900 to 3000MHz and is then divided by two to provide 950 to 1500MHz. VCOV operates nominally from 1400 to 2200MHz. Only the oscillator selected via bit VS in the I2C data transmission is powered. 3 SL1935 Quadrature Downconverter Section - continued The oscillators share a common varactor line drive and both require an external varactor tuned resonator optimised for low phase noise performance. The recommended application circuit for the local oscillators is detailed in Fig.9 and the typical phase noise performance is detailed in Fig.10. The local oscillator frequency is coupled internally to the PLL frequency synthesiser programmable divider input. The mixer outputs are coupled to the baseband buffer amplifiers, providing for one of two selectable baseband outputs in each channel. The required output is selected by bit BS in the I2C bus transmission (Table 6). These outputs are fed off chip via ports ‘OPIA’ and ‘OPIB’ (‘OPQA’ and ‘OPQB’), then back on chip through ports ‘IPIA’ and ‘IPIB’ (‘IPQA’ and ‘IPQB’), allowing for the insertion of two independent user definable filter bandwidths. Each output provides a low impedance drive (Fig.11) and each input provides a high impedance load . An example filter for 30MS/s is detailed in Fig.13. Both path gains are nominally equal. NB 6dB insertion loss is assumed in each channel, however a different pot down ratio may be applied. Each baseband path is then multiplexed to the final baseband amplifier stage, providing further gain and a low impedance output drive. The nominal output load test condition is detailed in Fig.14. PLL Frequency Synthesiser Section The PLL frequency synthesiser section contains all the elements necessary, with the exception of a reference frequency source and a loop filter to control the selected oscillator to produce a complete PLL frequency synthesised source. The device, produced using high speed logic, allows for operation with a high comparison frequency and enables the generation of a loop with excellent phase noise performance. The LO signal from the selected oscillator drives from the phase splitter into an internal preamplifier, providing gain and reverse isolation from the divider signals. The output of the preamplifier interfaces directly with the 15-bit fully programmable divider. The programmable divider has MN+A architecture, the dual modulus prescaler is 16/17, the A counter is 4-bits and the M counter is 11-bits. The output of the programmable divider is fed to the phase comparator and compared in both phase and frequency domains to the comparison frequency. This frequency is derived from either the on board crystal controlled oscillator or from an external reference source. In both cases the reference frequency is divided down to the comparison frequency by the reference divider, programmable into 1 of 29 ratios and detailed in Table 3. The typical application for the crystal oscillator is shown in Fig.15. 4 The output of the phase detector feeds a charge pump and a loop amplifier. When used with an external loop filter and a high voltage transistor it integrates the current pulses into the varactor line voltage used to control the selected oscillator. The programmable divider output Fpd divided by two and the reference divider output Fcomp are switched to port P0 by programming the device into test mode. Test modes are detailed in Table 4. The crystal reference frequency can be switched to the BUFREF output by bit RE as detailed in Table 7. Programming The SL1935 is controlled by an I2C data bus and is compatible with both standard and fast mode formats. Data and Clock are fed on the SDA and SCL lines respectively as defined by the I2C bus format. The device can either accept data (write mode) or send data (read mode). The LSB of the address byte (R/W) sets the device into write mode if it is low and read mode if it is high. Tables 9a and 9b detail the format of the data. The SL1935 may be programmed to respond to several addresses and enables the use of more than one device in an I2C bus system. Table 9c details the how the address is selected by applying a voltage to the ‘ADD’ input. When the device receives a valid address byte, it pulls the SDA line low during the acknowledge period and during following acknowledge periods after further data bytes are received. When the device is programmed into read mode, the controller accepting the data must pull the SDA line low during all status byte acknowledge periods to read another status byte. If the controller fails to pull the SDA line low during this period, the device generates an internal ‘STOP’ condition which inhibits further reading. Write mode Bytes 2 and 3 contain frequency information bits 214to 20 inclusive (Table 9). Byte 4 controls the synthesiser reference divider ratio (Table 3) and the charge pump setting (Table 5). Byte 5 controls test modes (Table 4), baseband filter path select BS (Table 6), local oscillator select VS (Table 8), buffered crystal reference output select RE (Table 7) and the output port P0. After reception and acknowledgment of a correct address (byte 1), the first bit of the following byte determines whether the byte is interpreted as byte 2 or 4, a logic ‘0’ indicates byte 2 and a logic ‘1’ indicates byte 4. Having interpreted this byte as either byte 2 or 4, the following byte will be interpreted as byte 3 or 5 respectively. After receiving two complete data bytes, additional data bytes may be entered and byte interpretation follows the same procedure without readdressing the device. The procedure continues until a ‘STOP’ condition is received. SL1935 The STOP condition can be generated after any data byte, if however it occurs during a byte transmission, the previous byte data is retained. To facilitate smooth fine tuning, the frequency data bytes are only accepted by the device after all 15 bits of frequency data have been received, or after the generation of a STOP condition. Read mode When the device is in read mode, the status byte read from the device takes the form shown in Table 9b. Bit 1 (POR) is the power-on reset indicator, and this is set to a logic ‘1’ if the Vccd supply to the device has dropped below 3V (at 25oC),e.g. when the device is initially turned ON. The POR is reset to ‘0’ when the read sequence is terminated by a STOP command. When POR is set high this indicates that the programmed information may have been corrupted and the device reset to the power up condition. Bit 2 (FL) indicates whether the synthesiser is phase locked, a logic ‘1’ is present if the device is locked, and a logic ‘0’ if the device is unlocked. Table 2.

The level of 2.01GHz downconverted to baseband relative to 1.01GHz with the oscillator tuned to 1GHz,measured with no input pre-filtering. The level of second harmonic of 1.01GHz input at –25dBm downconverted to baseband relative to 2.01GHz at–40 dBm with the oscillator tuned to 2GHz, measured with no input pre-filtering. If the BUFREF output is not used it should be left open circuit or connected to Vccd, and disabled by settingRE = ‘0’. This parameter is very application dependant. With good RF isolation <-60dBm can be achieved.

The schematic and PCB layout of the board are shown in Figures 19, 20 and 21. Supplies The board must be provided with the following supplies: 5V for the synthesiser section (5VD) 5V for the converter and baseband sections (5V) 30V for the varactor line (30V) The supply connector is a 5 pin 0.1” pin header. The order of connections is 5V – GND – 30V – GND – 5V. I2C bus connections The board is provided with a RJ11 I2C bus connector which feeds directly to the synthesiser. This connects to a standard 4 way cable. Operating instructions 1. Software. Use the Zarlink Semiconductor synthesiser software. Pull down the ‘Device’ menu, then select the ‘SL1935’. It is suggested that the charge pump is set to 130uA with a reference divider ratio of 32. These settings give a small loop bandwidth (i.e. 100’s Hz), which allows detailed phase noise measurements of the oscillators to be taken if desired. 2. VCO control. The two VCO’s are selected by toggling the oscillator switch below the two oscillators on the main software block diagram. This switch programs bit VS of the I2C data (see Tables 8 and 9a to 9c). VCOS oscillates at twice the LO frequency (lower band) and is then divided by two to provide the required LO frequency in the range 950MHz to 1500MHz (approximately). VCOV oscillates at the LO frequency (upper band) in the range 1500MHz to 2150MHz (approximately). 3. Baseband path select. The SL1935 has two filter paths selected by programming bit BS of the I2C data (see Tables 6 and 9a to 9c). The value of BS is changed by toggling the switch position to the left of ‘Filter A’ and ‘Filter B’ on the main software block diagram. 4. AGC control. The conversion gain of the SL1935 is set by the voltage applied to the AGCCONT input. On the demo board this is controlled by the potential divider labelled ‘AGC ADJ’ which varies the AGCCONT input from 0V to Vcc. CAUTION: Care should be taken to ensure the chip is powered ON if the board is modified to accept an external AGC input voltage. Damage to the device may result if this is not complied with as a result of the IC powering itself up via the AGCCONT input ESD protection diode. It is recommended that a low current limit is set on any external AGC voltage source used. 5. Free running the VCO’s. Select the required VCO as detailed in (2) above. Program an LO frequency which is above the maximum capability of the oscillator. 3GHz is suggested. Under this condition the varactor control voltage is pumped to its maximum value, ie to the top of the band. The oscillator frequency can now be manually tuned by varying the 30V supply. 17 SL1935 19. View Figure 19. Top view 18 SL1935 Figure 20.
