PEREGRINE PE3291EK

Product Specification
PE3291
Product Description
The PE3291 is a dual fractional-N FlexiPowerTM phase-lock loop
(PLL) IC designed for frequency synthesis. Each PLL includes
a FlexiPowerTM prescaler, phase detector, charge pump and onboard fractional spur compensation.
The FlexiPower prescalers are supplied power on dedicated
pins and can operate at a substantial power savings at
voltages as low as 0.8 volts, while allowing a 3 volt charge
pump supply. For 3 volt only systems, on-chip voltage
regulation may be used to generate the prescaler power
supplies.
1200 MHz / 550 MHz Dual
Fractional-N FlexiPower™ PLL
for Frequency Synthesis
Features
• Ultra-Low Power via FlexiPower
variable supply voltages
• Modulo-32 fractional-N main counters
• On-board fractional spur compensation:
No tuning required, stable over
temperature
• Improved phase noise compared to
integer-N architectures
Figure 1 illustrates the implementation of the FlexiPower
technology. The prescaler power supply may be provided
externally or internally regulated down from VDD. In a typical
950 MHz application the total current consumed by the PLL is
2.1 mA. Operation at reduced current levels provides
significant battery life extension. The PE3291 allows the
system designer to minimize power consumption by controlling
the voltage on the prescaler. For additional operating speeds
and current consumptions refer to Figures 5 and 6.
PE3291 provides fractional-N division with power-of-two
denominator values up to 32. This allows comparison
frequencies up to 32 times the channel spacing, providing a
lower phase noise floor than integer PLLs. The 32/33 RF
prescaler (PLL1) operates up to 1200 MHz and the 16/17 IF
prescaler (PLL2) operates up to 550 MHz.
The PE3291 Phase Locked-Loop is manufactured on
Peregrine’s UltraCMOS™ process, a patented variation of
silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology on a sapphire substrate,
offering the performance of GaAs with the economy and
integration of conventional CMOS.

Applications
• CDMA handsets
• CDMA base stations
• Analog Cordless phones
• One and two way pagers
Figure 1: FlexiPower technology enables
the prescaler to operate at voltages down to
0.8 volts. This significantly reduces the total
power.

PE3291
Product Specification
PE3291 Description
FlexiPower Operation
The PE3291 is intended for such applications as
the local oscillator for the RF and first IF of dualconversion transceivers. The RF PLL (PLL1)
includes a 32/33 prescaler with a 1200 MHz
maximum frequency of operation, where the IF
PLL (PLL2) incorporates a 16/17 prescaler with a
550 MHz maximum frequency of operation. Using
an advanced fractional-N phase-locked loop
technique, the PE3291 can generate a stable,
very low phase-noise signal. The dual fractional
architecture allows fine resolution in both PLLs,
with no degradation in phase noise performance.
Each FlexiPower PLL prescaler can be supplied
its own dedicated supply voltage as low as 0.8
volts for substantial power savings. The maximum
frequency of operation scales with the FlexiPower
supply voltage. If voltages less than VDD are not
available, the FlexiPower supplies can be
internally generated, but the power savings will
not be as great as when using external
FlexiPower supplies.
Data is transferred into the PE3291 via a threewire interface (Data, Clock, LE). Supply voltage
can range from 2.7 to 3.3 volts for VDD and from
0.8 to 3.3 volts for the FlexiPower supply. PE3291
features very low power consumption and is
available in a 20-lead TSSOP (JEDEC MO-153AC) package.
Spurious Response
A critical parameter for synthesizer designs is
spurious output. Spurs occur at the integer
multiples of the step size away from center tone.
An important feature of fractional synthesizers is
their ability to reduce these spurious sidebands.
The PE3291 has a built-in method for reducing
these spurs, with no external components or
tuning required. In addition, this circuitry works
over the full commercial temperature range.

Product Specification
Functional Description
the reference frequency fr by the following
equation:
The Functional Block Diagram in Figure 7 shows a
21-bit serial control register, a multiplexed output,
and PLL sections PLL1 and PLL2. Each PLL
contains a fractional-N main counter chain, a
reference counter, a phase detector, and an
internal charge pump with on-chip fractional spur
compensation. Each fractional-N main counter
chain includes an internal dual modulus prescaler,
supporting counters, and a fractional accumulator.
fin1 = [(32 x M1) + A1 + (F1/32)] x (fr/R1)
(1) Note that A1 must be less than M1. Also, fin1
must be greater than or equal to 1024 x (fr/R1) to
obtain contiguous channels.
The PLL2 (IF) VCO frequency fin2 is related to the
reference frequency fr by the following equation:
Serial input data is clocked on the rising edge of
Clock, MSB first. The last two bits are the address
bits that determine the register address. Data is
transferred into the counters as shown in Table 8,
PE3291 Register Set. If the foLD pin is configured
as data out, then the contents of shift register bit
S20 are clocked on the falling edge of Clock onto
the foLD pin. This feature allows the PE3291 and
compatible devices to be connected in a daisychain configuration.
fin2 = [(16 x M2) + A2 + (F2/32)] x (fr/R2)
(2) Note that A2 must be less than M2. Also, fin2
must be greater than or equal to 256 x (fr/R2) to
obtain contiguous channels.
F1 sets PLL1 fractionality. If F1 is an even number,
the PE3291 automatically reduces the fraction.
For example, if F1 = 12, then the fraction 12/32 is
automatically reduced to 3/8. In this way,
fractional denominators of 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 are
available. F2 sets the fractionality for PLL2 in the
same manner.
The PLL1 (RF) VCO frequency fin1 is related to

Programmable Divide Values
Table 8. PE3291 Counter Programming Example
(R1, R2, F1, F2, A1, A2, M1, M2)
Divide Value
Data is clocked into the 21-bit shift register, MSB
first. When LE is asserted HIGH, data is latched
into the registers addressed by the last two bits
shifted into the 21-bit register, according to Table
7. For example, to program the PLL1 (RF)
swallow counter, A1, the last two bits shifted into
the register (S0, S1) would be (1,1). The 5-bit A1
counter would then be programmed according to
Table 8. For normal operation, S16 of address
(0,0) (the Test bit) must be programmed to 0 even
if PLL2 (IF) is not used.

Program Modes
Several modes of operation can be programmed with bits C10 - C14 and C20 - C24, including the phase detector
polarity, charge pump high impedance, output of the foLD pin and power-down modes. The PE3291 modes of
operation are shown on Table 9. The truth table for the foLD output is shown in Table 10.

Note 1:
The PLL1 power-down mode disables all of PLL1’s components except the R1 counter and the reference frequency input buffer, with
CP1 (pin 3) and fin1 (pin 5) becoming high impedance. The power down of PLL2 has similar results with CP2 (pin 18) and fin2 (pin 16)
becoming high impedance. Power down of both PLL1 and PLL2 further disables counters R1 and R2, the reference frequency input, and
the foLD output, causing fr (pin 8) and foLD (pin 10) to become high impedance. The Serial Control Interface remains active at all times.
Note 2:
The C11 and C21 bits should be set according to the voltage versus frequency slope of the VCO as shown in Figure 9. This relationship
presumes the use of a passive loop filter. If an inverting active loop filter is used the relationship is also inverted.

Note: 1. When the foLD is disabled the output is a CMOS LOW.
2. Lock detect indicates when the VCO frequency is in “lock”. When PLL1 is in lock and PLL1 lock detect is selected, the foLD pin will be HIGH
with narrow pulses LOW. When PLL2 is in lock and PLL2 lock detect is selected, the foLD pin will be HIGH with narrow pulses LOW. When
PLL1 / PLL2 lock detect is selected the foLD pin will be HIGH with narrow pulses LOW only when both PLL1 and PLL2 are in lock.
3. The counter reset state when activated resets all counters. Upon removal of the reset, counters M, A, and F resume counting in close
alignment with the R counter (the maximum error is one prescaler cycle). The reset bits can be activated to allow smooth acquisition upon
powering up.
Programming the FlexiPower voltage
The PE3291 can be programmed to internally regulate down from the VDD
voltage to supply the FlexiPower voltage, as shown in Table 11. This is
implemented by programming P2, P1 (S18 & S16 - address 1,0). When
programmed with 0,0 external voltage supplies must be provided to the
part at pins VDD1 and VDD2. When using internal regulation, the FlexiPower
supply pins should be left grounded.

Phase Comparator Characteristics
PLL1 has the timing relationships shown below for fc1, fp1, LD1, UP1, and DOWN1. When C11 = HIGH, UP1
directs the internal PLL1 charge pump to source current and DOWN1 directs the PLL1 internal charge pump
to sink current. If C11 = LOW, UP1 and DOWN1 are interchanged.
PLL2 has the timing relationships shown below for fc2, fp2, LD2, UP2, and DOWN2. When C21 = HIGH, UP2
directs the internal PLL2 charge pump to source current and DOWN2 directs the PLL2 internal charge pump
to sink current. If C21 = LOW, UP2 and DOWN2 are interchanged.

Loop Filter
Digital Control Lines
Second/Third Order Loops
Control Line Noise
Choosing the optimum loop filter for a design
encompasses many trade offs. The rule of thumb
for choosing the loop filter bandwidth is 10 percent
of the step size. A second order loop (C1 C2 R2
and C4 C5 R5 in Figure 11 omitting C3 R3 C6 and
R6) will provide the least amount of components
and the fastest lock times. If lock time is an issue,
one might try opening up the loop filter, although if
it is too wide, instability will dominate and worsen
lock time. If lock time is not an issue, a narrower
second order filter will minimize residual FM
without requiring additional components.
We have noticed frequency jitter during
programming when a low impedance, such as a
capacitor to ground, is placed next to any control
line pin (clock, data, and load enable). The use of
a 51 k ohm resistor in series with the control line
will eliminate the problem with no effect to
programming time.
Third Order loop filters (C1 C2 R2 C3 R3 and C4 C5
R5 C6 R6 in Figure 11) provide a good
compromise between lock time and residual FM.
We have found using a third order loop with 20 dB
of rejection at the step size will halve the Residual
FM as measured with a similar second order loop,
with minimum effect on lock time.
Loop Filter Bandwidth Design Considerations
As part of the spur compensation circuitry, the
PE329x series PLLs contain capacitors to ground
internal to the charge pump. PLL1 contains a 50
pF capacitor and PLL2 contains a 100 pF
capacitor. To ensure accurate loop filter
calculations, it is critical that the calculated value
of the first shunt capacitor (C1 & C4 in Figure 11)
be at least 100 pF for PLL1 and 200 pF for PLL2.
With this requirement satisfied, the remaining loop
components can be calculated.
Enable Line Voltage
The PE329x series PLLs use a level sensitive
load enable. Therefore the digital controller must
provide an active low to the part at all times
except when the data is to be loaded into the shift
register. If the PLL controller does not hold the
voltage low, a high impedance resistor to ground
should be added to the enable line to ensure
stable operation.
5 Volt Operation:
The PE329x series PLLs are not capable of
accepting control voltages greater than 3.3 volts.
Interface to 5 volt controllers requires the addition
of resistor dividers to comply with the 3.3 volt
maximum operation voltage.
For a stable loop, it is also important that the loop
bandwidth be less than or equal to one tenth of
the step size.

Product Specification
Figure 11. Application Example
Note 1:
For optimum fractional spur and lock-time performance C2 and C5 should be polyester (or poly
propylene). In addition, the loop filter components must be free from contamination. Contamination
will result in poor spur performance. For accurate loop bandwidth, C1 must be greater than or equal to
100 pF, and C4 must be greater than or equal to 200 pF.
