PE3339
Advance Information
Functional Description
The PE3339 consists of a prescaler, counters, a
phase detector, charge pump and control logic .
The dual modulus prescaler divides the VCO
frequency by either 10 or 11, depending on the
value of the modulus select. Counters “R” and “M”
divide the reference and prescaler output,
respectively, by integer values stored in a 20-bit
register. An additional counter (“A”) is used in the
modulus select logic.
The phase-frequency detector generates up and
down frequency control signals which direct the
charge pump operation. The control logic includes a
selectable chip interface. Data is written into the
internal registers via the three wire serial bus.
There are also various operational and test modes
and a lock detect output.

Advance Information
Main Counter Chain
Note that programming R with “0” will pass the
reference frequency (fr) directly to the phase
detector.
Normal Operating Mode
Setting the Pre_en control bit “low” enables the
÷10/11 prescaler. The main counter chain then
divides the RF input frequency (Fin) by an integer
derived from the values in the “M” and “A” counters.
In this mode, the output from the main counter
chain (fp) is related to the VCO frequency (Fin) by
the following equation:
fp = Fin / [10 x (M + 1) + A]
where A ≤ M + 1, 1 ≤ M ≤ 511
(1)
When the loop is locked, Fin is related to the
reference frequency (fr) by the following equation:
Fin = [10 x (M + 1) + A] x (fr / (R+1))
where A ≤ M + 1, 1 ≤ M ≤ 511
(2)
A consequence of the upper limit on A is that Fin
must be greater than or equal to 90 x (fr / (R+1)) to
obtain contiguous channels. The A counter can
accept values as high as 15, but in typical operation
it will cycle from 0 to 9 between increments in M.
Programming the M counter with the minimum
allowed value of “1” will result in a minimum M
counter divide ratio of “2”.
Prescaler Bypass Mode
Setting the frequency control register bit Pre_en
“high” allows Fin to bypass the ÷10/11 prescaler. In
this mode, the prescaler and A counter are powered
down, and the input VCO frequency is divided by
the M counter directly. The following equation
relates Fin to the reference frequency fr:
Fin = (M + 1) x (fr / (R+1))
where 1 ≤ M ≤ 511
(3)
Register Programming
Serial Interface Mode
While the E_WR input is “low” and the S_WR input
is “low”, serial input data (Sdata input), B0 to B19,
are clocked serially into the primary register on the
rising edge of Sclk, MSB (B0) first. The contents
from the primary register are transferred into the
secondary register on the rising edge of either
S_WR according to the timing diagrams shown in
Figure 4. Data are transferred to the counters as
shown in Table 7 on page 9.
The double buffering provided by the primary and
secondary registers allows for “ping-pong” counter
control using the FSELS input. When FSELS is
“high”, the primary register contents set the counter
inputs. When FSELS is “low”, the secondary
register contents are utilized.
While the E_WR input is “high” and the S_WR input
is “low”, serial input data (Sdata input), B0 to B7, are
clocked serially into the enhancement register on
the rising edge of Sclk, MSB (B0) first. The
enhancement register is double buffered to prevent
inadvertent control changes during serial loading,
with buffer capture of the serially entered data
performed on the falling edge of E_WR according to
the timing diagram shown in Figure 4. After the
falling edge of E_WR, the data provide control bits
as shown in Table 8 on page 9 will have their bit
functionality enabled by asserting the Enh input
“low”.
Reference Counter
The reference counter chain divides the reference
frequency fr down to the phase detector comparison
frequency fc.
The output frequency of the 6-bit R Counter is
related to the reference frequency by the following
equation:
fc = fr / (R + 1)
where 0 ≤ R ≤ 63

Phase Detector
The phase detector is triggered by rising edges
from the main Counter (fp) and the reference
counter (fc). It has two outputs, namely PD_U, and
PD_D. If the divided VCO leads the divided
reference in phase or frequency (fp leads fc), PD_D
pulses “low”. If the divided reference leads the
divided VCO in phase or frequency (fc leads fp),
PD_U pulses “low”. The width of either pulse is
directly proportional to phase offset between the
two input signals, fp and fc.
The signals from the phase detector couple directly
to a charge pump. PD_U controls a current source
at pin CP with constant amplitude and pulse
duration approximately the same as PD_U. PD_D
similarly drives a current sink at pin CP. The
current pulses from pin CP are low pass filtered
externally and then connected to the VCO tune
voltage. PD_U pulses result in a current source,
which increases the VCO frequency and PD_D
results in a current sink, which decreases VCO
frequency when using a positive Kv VCO.
A lock detect output, LD is also provided, via the pin
Cext. Cext is the logical “NAND” of PD_U and
PD_D waveforms, which is driven through a series
2 kohm resistor. Connecting Cext to an external
shunt capacitor provides low pass filtering of this
signal. Cext also drives the input of an internal
inverting comparator with an open drain output.
Thus LD is an “AND” function of PD_U and PD_D.
