•
•
The LMX2306/16/26 are monolithic, integrated
frequency synthesizers with prescalers that are
designed to be used to generate a very stable low
noise signal for controlling the local oscillator of an
RF transceiver. They are fabricated using TI's ABiC V
silicon BiCMOS 0.5μ process.

The LMX2306 contains a 8/9 dual modulus prescaler
while the LMX2316 and the LMX2326 have a 32/33
dual modulus prescaler. The LMX2306/16/26 employ
a digital phase locked loop technique. When
combined with a high quality reference oscillator and
loop filter, the LMX2306/16/26 provide the feedback
tuning voltage for a voltage controlled oscillator to
generate a low phase noise local oscillator signal.
Serial data is transferred into the LMX2306/16/26 via
a three wire interface (Data, Enable, Clock). Supply
voltage can range from 2.3V to 5.5V. The

PROGRAMMABLE DIVIDER (N COUNTER)
The N counter consists of the 5-bit swallow counter (A counter) and the 13-bit programmable counter (B
counter). If the Control Bits are [C1, C2] = [1,0], data is transferred from the 21-bit shift register into a 5-bit latch
(which sets the Swallow (A) Counter), a 13-bit latch (which sets the 13-bit programmable (B) Counter), and the
GO bit (See FastLock Modes section) MSB first. For the LMX2306 the maximum N value is 65535 and the
minimum N value is 56. For the LMX2316/26, the maximum N value is 262143 and the minimum N value is 992.

Function Description
F1. The Counter Reset enable mode bit F1, when activated, allows the reset of both N and R counters. Upon
powering up, the F1 bit needs to be disabled, then the N counter resumes counting in “close” alignment with the
R counter. (The maximum error is one prescalar cycle).
F2. Refer to Powerdown Operation section.
F3–5. Controls output of FoLD pin. See FoLD truth table. See Table 4.
F6. Phase Detector Polarity. Depending upon VCO characteristics, F6 bit should be set accordingly. When
VCO characteristics are positive F6 should be set HIGH; When VCO characteristics are negative F6 should be
set LOW
F7. Charge Pump Tri-state is set using bit F7. For normal operation this bit is set to zero.
F8. When the FastLock Enable bit is set the part is forced into one of the four FastLock modes. See description
in Table 5, FastLock Decoding.
F9. The FastLock Control bit determines the mode of operation when in FastLock (F8 = 1). When not in
FastLock mode, FLo can be used as a general purpose output controlled by this bit. For F9 = 1, FLo is HIGH and
for F9 = 0, FLo is LOW. See Table 5 for truth table.
F10. Timeout Counter Enable bit is set to 1 to enable the timeout counter. See Table 5 for truth table.
F11–14. FastLock Timeout Counter is set using bits F11-14. Table 6 for counter values.
F15–17. Function bits F15–F17 are for Test Modes, and should be set to 0 for normal use.

F18. Refer to Powerdown Operation section.
F19. Function bit F19 is for a Test Mode, and should be set to 0 for normal use.
Powerdown Operation
Bits F[2] and F[18] provide programmable powerdown modes when the CE pin is HIGH. When CE is LOW, the
part is always immediately disabled regardless of powerdown bit status. Refer to Table 3.
Synchronous and asynchronous powerdown modes are both available by MICROWIRE selection. Synchronous
powerdown occurs if the F[18] bit (Powerdown Mode) is HIGH when F[2] bit (Powerdown) becomes HIGH.
Asynchronous powerdown occurs if the F[18] bit is LOW when its F[2] bit becomes HIGH.
In the synchronous powerdown mode (F[18] = HIGH), the powerdown function is gated by the charge pump to
prevent unwanted frequency jumps. Once the powerdown program bit F[2] is loaded, the part will go into
powerdown mode after the first successive charge pump event.
In the asynchronous powerdown mode (F[18] = LOW), the device powers down immediately after latching LOW
data into bit F[2].
The device returns to an actively powered up condition in either synchronous or asynchronous mode immediately
upon LE latching LOW data into bit F[2].
Activation of a powerdown condition in either synchronous or asynchronous mode including CE pin activated
powerdown has the following effects:
• Removes all active DC current paths.
• Forces the R, N, and timeout counters to their load state conditions.
• Will Tri-state the charge pump.
• Resets the digital lock detect circuitry.
• Debiases the fIN input to a high impedance state.
• Disables the oscillator input buffer circuitry.
• The MICROWIRE control register remains active and capable of loading the data.

lock detect mode is selected, the pin's output is HIGH, with narrow pulses LOW. When digital lock detect is
selected, the output will be HIGH when the absolute phase error is < 15 ns for three or five consecutive phase
frequency detector reference cycles, depending on the value of R[19]. Once lock is detected the output stays
HIGH unless the absolute phase error exceeds 30 ns for a single reference cycle. Setting the charge pump to tristate or power down (bits F2, F18) will reset the digital lock detect to the unlocked state. The LD precision bit,
R[19], will select five consecutive reference cycles, instead of three, for entering the locked state when R[19] =
HIGH.
Figure 3. Typical Lock Detect Circuit
Lock Detect Filter Calculation
The component values for the open drain lock detect filter can be determined after assessing the qualifications
for an in-lock condition. The in-lock condition can be specified as being a particular number (N) of consecutive
reference cycles or duration (D) wherein the phase detector phase error is some factor less than the reference
period. In an example where the phase detector reference period is 10 kHz, one might select the threshold for inlock as occurring when 5 consecutive phase comparisons have elapsed where the phase errors are a 1000 times
shorter than the reference period (100 ns). Here, N = 5 and F = 1000.
For the lock detect filter shown in Figure 3, when used in conjunction with a open drain (active sink only) lock
detect output, the resistor value for R2 would be chosen to be a factor of F * R1. Thus, if resistor R1 were pulled
low for only 1/1000th of the reference cycle period, its “effective” resistance would be on par with R2. The two
resistors for that duty cycle condition on average appear to be two 1000× R1 resistors connected across the
supply voltage with their common node voltage (Vc) at VCC/2. Phase errors larger than 1/1000th of the reference
cycle period would drag the average voltage of node Vc below VCC/2 indicating an out-of-lock status. If the time
constant of R2 * C1 is now calculated to be N * the reference period (500 μs), then the voltage of node Vc would
fall below VCC/2 only after 5 consecutive phase errors whose average pulse width was greater than 100 ns.
FastLock Modes
FastLock enables the designer to achieve both fast frequency transitions and good phase noise performance by
dynamically changing the PLL loop bandwidth. The FastLock modes allow wide band PLL fast locking with
seemless transition to a low phase noise narrow band PLL. Consistent gain and phase margins are maintained
by simultaneously changing charge pump current magnitude, counter values, and loop filter damping resistor.
The four FastLock modes in Table 5 are similar to the technique used in Texas Instruments' LMX 233X series
Dual Phase Locked Loops and are selected by F9, F10, and N19 when F8 is HIGH. Modes 1 and 2 change loop
bandwidth by a factor of two while modes 3 and 4 change the loop bandwidth by a factor of 4. Modes 1 and 2
increase charge pump magnitude by a factor of 4 and should use R2'=R2 for consistent gain and phase margin.
Modes 3 and 4 increase charge pump magnitude and decrease the counter values by a factor of 4. R2' = ⅓ R2
should be used for consistent stability margin in modes 3 and 4. When F8 is LOW, the FastLock modes are
disabled, F9 controls only the FLo output level (FLo = F9), and N19 determines the charge pump current
magnitude (N19=LOW→ICPo = 250 μA, N19=HIGH→ICPo = 1 mA).

When the GO bit N[19] is set to one, the part is forced into the high gain mode. When the timeout counter is activated, termination of the
counter cycle resets the GO bit to 0. If the timeout counter is not activated, N[19] must be reprogrammed to zero in order to remove the
high gain state. See below for descriptions of each individual FastLock mode.
There are two techniques of switching in and out of FastLock. To program the device into any of the FastLock
modes, the GO bit N[19] must be set to one to begin FastLock operation. In the first approach, the timeout
counter can be used (FastLock 2 and 4) to stay in FastLock mode for a programmable number of phase detector
reference cycles (up to 63) and then reset the GO bit automatically. In the second approach (FastLock 1 and 3)
without the timeout counter, the PLL will remain in FastLock mode until the user resets the GO bit via the
MICROWIRE serial bus. Once the GO bit is set to zero by the timeout counter or by MICROWIRE, the PLL will
then return to normal operation. This transition does not effect the charge on the loop filter capacitors and is
enacted synchronous with the charge pump output. This creates a nearly seamless transition between FastLock
and standard mode.
FastLock Mode 1 In this mode, the output level of the FLo is programmed in a low state while the ICPo is in the
4x state. The device remains in this state until a command is received, resetting the N[19] bit to zero.
Programming N[19] to zero will return the device to normal operation*., i.e., ICPo = 1x and FLo returned to
Tri-state.
FastLock Mode 2 Identical to mode 1, except the switching of the device out of FastLock is controlled by the
Timeout counter. The device will remain in FastLock until the timeout counter has counted down the
appropriate number of phase detector cycles, at which time the PLL returns to normal operation*.
FastLock Mode 3 This mode is similar to mode 1 in that the output level of the FLo is low and the ICPo is
switched to the 4x state. Additionally, the R and N divide ratios are reduced by one fourth during the
transient, resulting in a 16x improved gain. As in mode 1, the device remains in this state until a
MICROWIRE command is received, resetting the N[19] bit to zero and returning the device to normal
operation*.
FastLock Mode 4 Identical to mode 3, except the switching of the device out of FastLock is controlled by the
Timeout counter. The device will remain in FastLock until the timeout counter has counted down the
appropriate number of phase detector cycles, at which time the PLL returns to normal operation*.

TYPICAL APPLICATION EXAMPLE
OPERATIONAL NOTES:
*VCO is assumed AC coupled.
**R1 increases impedance so that VCO output power is provided to the load rather than the PLL. Typical values are
10Ω to 200Ω depending on the VCO power level. fIN RF impedance ranges from 40Ω to 100Ω.
**50Ω termination is often used on test boards to allow use of external reference oscillator. For most typical products
a CMOS clock is used and no terminating resistor is required. OSCIN may be AC or DC coupled. AC coupling is
recommended because the input circuit provides its own bias. (See Figure 4 below.)

APPLICATION INFORMATION
DEVICE PROGRAMMING AFTER FIRST APPLYING Vcc
Three MICROWIRE programming methods can be used to change the function latch, R counter latch, and N
counter latch contents with close phase alignment of R and N counters to minimize lock up time after the cold
power up.
INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE METHOD
Loading the function latch with [C1, C2] = [1, 1] immediately followed by an R counter load, then an N counter
load, efficiently programs the MICROWIRE. Loading the function latch with [C1, C2] = [1, 1] programs the same
function latch as a load with [C1, C2] = [0, 1] and additionally provides an internal reset pulse described below.
This program sequence insures that the counters are at load point when the N counter data is latched in and the
part will begin counting in close phase alignment.
The following results from latching the MICROWIRE with an F latch word, [C1, C2] = [1, 1]:
• The function latch contents are loaded.
• An internal pulse resets the R, N, and timeout counters to load state conditions and will tri-state the charge
pump. If the function latch is programmed for the synchronous powerdown case; CE = HIGH, F[2] = HIGH,
F[18] = HIGH, this internal pulse triggers powerdown. Refer to Powerdown Operation section for a
synchronous powerdown description. Note that the prescaler bandgap reference and the oscillator input
buffer are unaffected by the internal reset pulse, allowing close phase alignment when counting resumes.
• Latching the first N counter data after the initialization word will activate the same internal reset pulse.
Successive N counter data loads without an initialization load will not trigger the internal reset pulse.
CE METHOD
Programming the function latch, R counter latch and N counter latch while the part is being held in a powerdown
state by CE allows lowest possible power dissipation. After the MICROWIRE contents have been programmed
and the part is enabled, the R and N counter contents will resume counting in close phase alignment. Note that
after CE transitions from LOW to HIGH, a duration of 1 μs may be required for the prescaler bandgap voltage
and oscillator input buffer bias to reach steady state.
CE can be used to power the part up and down by pin control in order to check for channel activity. The
MICROWIRE does not need to be reprogrammed each time the part is enabled and disabled as long as it has
been programmed at least once after VCC was applied.
COUNTER RESET METHOD
This MICROWIRE programming method consists of a function latch load, [C1, C2] = [0, 1], enabling the counter
reset bit, F[1]. The R and N counter latches are then loaded followed by a final function latch load that disables
the counter reset. This provides the same close phase alignment as the initialization sequence method with
direct control over the internal reset. Note that counter reset holds the counters at load point and will tri-state the
charge pump, but does not trigger synchronous powerdown. The counter reset method requires an extra function
latch load compared to the initialization sequence method.
DEVICE PROGRAMMING
When programming the LMX2306, LMX2316, and LMX2326, first determine the frequencies and mode of
operation desired. Data register is programmed with a 21-bit data stream shifted into the R counter, N counter, or
the F latch. The Functional Description section shows the bits for the R counter, and the corresponding
information for the N counter. The FLo programming information is given in the FUNCTION AND INITIALIZATION
LATCHES section. Typical numbers for a GSM application example are given. In the example, the RF output is
locking at 950 MHz (fvco) with a 200 kHz channel spacing (fcomparison). The crystal oscillator reference input is 10
MHz (fosc) and the prescaler value (P) is 32. An example of both methods of FastLock will be shown.
The last two bits (control bits C1 and C2) of each bit stream identify which counter or FLo mode will be
programmed. For example, to program the R counter, C1 and C2 will be 0,0. Immediately proceeding these two
bits is the N, R, or F bits providing the divide ratios and FastLock mode information.

Initialization
For example, to load the N counter, the last two bits C1 and C2 must be 10.
Once the control bits have been determined, the frequency information must be determined. To begin, determine
the N and R counter values as follows:
N = fvco/fcomparison
(5)
R = fosc/fcomparison
(6)
and
For this example R and N are determined as follows:
R = 10 MHz/200 kHz = 50
(7)
N = 950 MHz/200 kHz = 4750
(8)
and
N COUNTER
The calculated value of N, and the value of P are now used to determine the values of A and B where A and B
are both integer values:
N=P*B+A
where
•
•
B is the divisor
A is the remainder
(9)
Therefore:
B = div (N/P)
(10)
A = N − (B * P)
(11)
and
For this example, B and A are calculated as follows:
B = div (4750/32) = 148 = 0000010010100
(12)
A = 4750 − (148 * 32) = 14 = 01110
(13)
and
To load the N counter with these values, the programming bit stream would be as follows. The first bit, the GO
bit, (MSB) N[19] is used for FastLock operation and will be discussed in the F LATCH section. The next 13 bits,
(N[18]–N[6]) shifted in, are the B counter value, 0000010010100b*. Bits N[5]–N[1] are the A counter and are
01110b in this example. The final two bits (the control bits) are 1,0 identifying the N counter. In programming the
N counter, the value of B must be greater than or equal to A, and the value of B must be greater than or equal to
3.
Note: *In programming the counter, data is shifted in MSB first.

R COUNTER
Programming the R counter is done by shifting in the binary value of R calculated previously (50d = 110010b).
The first bit shifted in is R[19] the LD precision bit. The next 4 bits (R[18]–R[15]) shifted in, are used for testing
and should always be loaded with zeros. The R[14]–R[1] bits are used to program the reference divider ratio and
should be 00000000110010b for this example. The final two bits, C[1] and C[2] denote the R counter and should
be 0, 0. The resulting bit stream looks as follows:
F LATCH
To program the device for any of the FastLock modes, C[1] = 0 and C[2] = 1 which direct data to the F latch. The
FUNCTION AND INITIALIZATION LATCHES section discusses the 4 modes of FastLock operation. The user
must first determine which FastLock mode will be used. When using any of the FastLock modes, the programmer
needs to experimentally determine the length of time to stay in high gain mode. This is done by looking at the
transient response and determining the time at which the device has settled to within the appropriate frequency
tolerance. FastLock mode should be terminated just prior to “lock” to place the switching phase glitch within the
transient settling time. The counter reset mode (F[1] bit) holds both the N and R counters at load point when F[1]
= HIGH. Upon setting F[1] = LOW, the N and R counters will resume counting in close phase alignment. Other
functions of the F latch such as FoLD output control, Phase detector polarity, and charge pump tri-state are
defined in the FUNCTION AND INITIALIZATION LATCHES section also.
FastLock MODE 1 PROGRAMMING
The F[1]–F[7] bits will be denoted as (*) and are dependent on the desired modes of the applicable functions. To
program the device for mode 1 FastLock, the F[8]–F[10] bits are programmed 100, while the N[19] bit is set to 1.
The device will stay in the 4X current mode until another N bit stream is sent with the N[19] bit reset to 0. This
gives a bit stream as follows:

Again, the F[1]–F[7] bits will be denoted as don't care (*) but are dependent on the desired modes of the
applicable functions. To program the device for mode 2 FastLock, the F[8]–F[10] bits are programmed 101, while
the N[19] bit is set to 1. The device will stay in the 4X current mode for the programmed number of phase
detector cycles. Bits F[11]–F[14] program this number of cycles and are shown in Table 6. For our example, we
will use 27 phase detector cycles, i.e. bits F[11]–F[14] will be 0110b. After 27 phase detector cycles, the N[19] bit
returns to zero, bringing the device back to low current mode. The resulting bit stream is as follows:
