Description
The SL2610 is a mixer oscillator intended primarily
for application in all band tuners, where it performs
image reject downconversion of the RF channel to a
standard 36 MHz or 44 MHz IF.
Each band consists of a low noise preamplifier/mixer
and local oscillator with an external varactor tuned
tank. The band outputs share a common low
impedance SAWF driver stage.

Functional Description
The SL2610 is a multi band RF mixer oscillator with image reject and on-board frequency synthesizer. It is intended
primarily for application in all band terrestrial tuners and requires a minimum external component count. It contains
all elements required for RF downconversion to a standard IF with the exception of external VCO tank circuits.
The pin allocation is contained in Figure 2 and the block diagram in Figure 1.
1.1
Mixer/oscillator section
In normal application the RF input is interfaced to the selected mixer oscillator preamplifier through the tuner
prefilter and AGC stages. The mixer input is arranged such that the signal can be coupled either differentially or
single-ended, and achieves the specified minimum performance in both configurations. Band input impedances
and NF are contained in Figure 11 and Figure 12 respectively. The converter two tone input spectra are contained
in Figure 13 and Figure 14.
The preamplifier output then feeds the mixer stage where the required channel is image reject downconverted to
the IF frequency. The local oscillator frequency for the downconversion is obtained from the on board local
oscillator, which uses an external varactor tuned tank. Typical VCO applications are contained in Figures 8, 9 and
10.
The output of the mixer is then fed to the converter output driver which presents a matched 200 Ω differential load
to an external IF shaping filter.
The output of the shaping filter is then coupled into the IFAMP stage, which provides further gain and offers a 50 Ω
output impedance to interface direct with the tuner SAW filter.
The SL2610 contains a broadband level detect circuit whose output can be used to control the tuner AGC. The
target level of the AGC detector is controlled by the voltage applied to the AGCBIAS pin. The characteristic of the
target level is given in Figure 18.
1.2
PLL Frequency Synthesizer
The PLL frequency synthesizer section contains all the elements necessary, with the exception of a frequency
reference and loop filter, to control a varicap tuned local oscillator, so forming a complete PLL frequency
synthesised source. The device allows for operation with a high comparison frequency and is fabricated in high
speed logic, which enables the generation of a loop with good phase noise performance. It can also be operated
with comparison frequencies appropriate for frequency offsets as required in digital terrestrial (DTT) receivers.
The LO signal is multiplexed from the selected oscillator section to an internal preamplifier which provides gain and
reverse isolation from the divider signals. The output of the preamplifier interfaces direct with the 15-bit fully
programmable divider which is of MN+A architecture, where 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 where it is compared in both phase and
frequency domain with the comparison frequency. This frequency is derived either from 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 which is programmable into 1 of 29 ratios as detailed in Table 1.
The output of the phase detector feeds a charge pump and loop amplifier section which when used with an external
loop filter integrates the current pulses into the varactor line voltage.
The programmable divider output Fpd, divided by two and the reference divider output Fcomp, can be switched to
port P0 by programming the device into test mode. The test modes are described in Table 5.

Programming
The SL2610 is controlled by an I2C data bus and is compatible with both standard and fast mode formats.
Data and Clock are fed in on the SDA and SCL lines respectively as defined by I2C bus format. The synthesizer 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 2 and 3 illustrate the format of the data. The device can be
programmed to respond to several addresses, which enables the use of more than one synthesizer in an I2C bus
system (Tables 2 and 3). Table 4 shows 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.
2.1
Write mode
With reference to Table 2, bytes 2 and 3 contain frequency information bits 214-20 inclusive. Byte 4 controls the
reference divider ratio bits R4-R0 (Table 1) and the charge pump setting bits C1-C0 (Table 6). Byte 5 controls the IF
select (Table 8), the band select function bits BS1-BS0 (Table 7), the switching ports P3-P0 and the test modes
(Table 5).
After reception and acknowledgement of a correct address (byte 1), the first bit of the following byte determines
whether the byte is interpreted as a byte 2 or 4, a logic '0' indicating byte 2 and a logic '1' indicating byte 4. Having
interpreted this byte as either byte 2 or 4 the following data byte will be interpreted as byte 3 or 5 respectively.
Having received two complete data bytes, additional data bytes can be entered, where byte interpretation follows
the same procedure, without re-addressing the device. This procedure continues until a STOP condition is
received. 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.
2.2
Read mode
When the device is in read mode, the status byte read from the device takes the form shown Table 3.
Bit 1 (POR) is the power-on reset indicator, and this is set to a logic '1' if the Vcc 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 power up condition.
Bit 2 (FL) indicates whether the device is phase locked, a logic '1' is present if the device is locked and a logic '0' if
the device is unlocked.

Notes
1
All power levels are referred to 50 Ω, and 0 dBm = 107 dBµV.
2
Total system with final load as in Figure 7, including an interstage IF shaping filter with IL of 2 dB and
characteristic impedance of 200 Ω differential.
3
The specified gain is determined by the following formula;
Gs = Gm + Vtr where
Gs = gain as specified
Gm = gain as measured with specified load conditions
Vtr = voltage transformation ratio of transformer as in Figure 7
4
Two input tones within RF operating range at -14 dBm from 50 Ω single ended source with 200 Ω differential output load. DC output
current must be shunted to Vcc through suitable inductor, i.e. 10 µH.
5
Modulation spurs introduced on local oscillator through injection locking of the local oscillator by an
undesired RF carrier.
Desired carrier at 80 dBµV, undesired carrier at 90 dBµV at an offset frequency of fd plus 42+fc MHz,
where fd is desired carrier frequency, fc is US chrominance sub carrier and 42 equals 7 channel spacings.
6
All intermodulation specifications are measured with a single-ended input.
7
Operation range is defined as the region over which the oscillator presents a negative impedance.
8
Target to achieve 6 dB minimum S11.
