LMX1600/LMX1601/LMX1602
Electrical Characteristics
LMX1600/LMX1601/LMX1602
1.0 Functional Description
The basic phase-lock-loop (PLL) configuration consists of a
high-stability crystal reference oscillator, a frequency synthesizer such as the National Semiconductor LMX1600/01/02, a
voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and a passive loop filter.
The frequency synthesizer includes a phase detector, current mode charge pump, as well as programmable reference
[R], and feedback [N] frequency dividers. The VCO frequency is established by dividing the crystal reference signal
down via the R counter to obtain the comparison frequency.
This reference signal, fr, is then presented to the input of a
phase/frequency detector and compared with another signal,
fp, the feedback signal, which was obtained by dividing the
VCO frequency down using the N counter. The phase/
frequency detector’s current source outputs pump charge
into the loop filter, which then converts the charge into the
VCO’s control voltage. The phase/frequency comparator’s
function is to adjust the voltage presented to the VCO until
the feedback signal’s frequency (and phase) match that of
the reference signal. When this “phase-locked” condition
exists, the VCO’s frequency will be N times that of the
comparison frequency, where N is the divider ratio.
is configured as a 4-bit A Counter and a 12-bit B Counter.
These inputs should be AC coupled through external capacitors. (See Programming Description 2.3)
1.3.1 Prescalers
The RF input to the prescalers consists of the fin pins which
are one of two complimentary inputs to a differential pair
amplifier. The complimentary inputs are internally coupled to
ground with a 10 pF capacitor and not brought out to a pin.
The input buffer drives the A counter’s ECL D-type flip flops
in a dual modulus configuration. A 32/33 for 2.0 GHz option,
16/17 for 1.1 GHz option, or 8/9 for 500 MHz option prescale
ratio is provided for the LMX1600/01/02. The prescaler
clocks the subsequent CMOS flip-flop chain comprising the
fully programmable A and B counters.
1.4
1.1 REFERENCE OSCILLATOR INPUTS
The reference oscillator frequency for the Main and Aux
PLL’s is provided by either an external reference through the
OSCIN pin with the OSCOUT pin not connected or connected
to a 30 pF capacitor to ground in Logic Mode, or an external
crystal resonator across the OSCIN and OSCOUT pins in
Crystal Mode (See Programming Description 2.5.3). The
OSCIN input can operate to 40 MHz in Logic Mode or to 20
MHz in Crystal Mode with an input sensitivity of 0.5 VPP. The
OSCIN pin drives the Main and Aux R counters. The inputs
have a ∼ 1.2V input threshold and can be driven from an
external CMOS or TTL logic gate. The OSCIN pin is typically
connected to the output of a Temperature Compensated
Crystal Oscillator (TCXO).
1.5
CHARGE PUMP
The phase detector’s current source outputs pump charge
into an external loop filter, which then converts the charge
into the VCO’s control voltage. The charge pumps steer the
charge pump output, CPo, to VCC (pump-up) or ground
(pump-down). When locked, CPo is primarily in a TRISTATE mode with small corrections. The charge pump output current magnitude can be selected as 160 µA or 1600 µA
using bits AUX_CP_GAIN and MAIN_CP_GAIN as shown
in Programming Description 2.4.
1.2 REFERENCE DIVIDERS (R COUNTERS)
The Main and Aux R Counters are clocked through the
oscillator block in common. The maximum frequency is 40
MHz in Logic Mode or 20 MHz in crystal Mode. Both R
Counters are 12-bit CMOS counters with a divide range from
2 to 4,095. (See Programming Description 2.2)
1.6 MICROWIRE SERIAL INTERFACE
The programmable functions are accessed through the MICROWIRE serial interface. The interface is made of 3 functions: clock, data, and latch enable (LE). Serial data for the
various counters is clocked in from data on the rising edge of
clock, into the 18-bit shift register. Data is entered MSB first.
The last two bits decode the internal register address. On the
rising edge of LE, data stored in the shift register is loaded
into one of the 4 appropriate latches (selected by address
bits). Data is loaded from the latch to the counter when
counter reaches to zero. A complete programming description is included in the following sections.
1.3 FEEDBACK DIVIDERS (N COUNTERS)
The Main and Aux N Counters are clocked by the small
signal fin Main and fin Aux input pins respectively. These
inputs should be AC coupled through external capacitors.
The Main N counter has an 16-bit equivalent integer divisor
configured as a 5-bit A Counter and an 11-bit B Counter
offering a continuous divide range from 992 to 65,535 (2
GHz option) or a 4-bit A Counter and a 12-bit B Counter
offering a continuous divide range from 240 to 65,535 (1.1
GHz option). The Main N divider incorporates a 32/33 dual
modulus prescaler capable of operation from 200 MHz to 2.0
GHz or a 16/17 dual modulus prescaler capable of operation
from 100 MHz to 1.1 GHz.
The Aux N divider operates from 100 MHz to 1.1 GHz with a
16/17 prescaler or from 40 MHz to 500 MHz with a 8/9
prescaler. The Aux N counter is a 16-bit integer divider fully
programmable from 240 to 65,535 over the frequency range
of 100 MHz to 1.1 GHz or from 56 to 32,767 over the
frequency range of 40 MHz to 550 MHz. The Aux N counter
www.national.com
PHASE/FREQUENCY DETECTOR
The Main and Aux phase(/frequency) detectors are driven
from their respective N and R counter outputs. The maximum frequency at the phase detector inputs is 10 MHz
(unless limited by the minimum continuous divide ratio of the
multi modulus prescalers). The phase detector outputs control the charge pumps. The polarity of the pump-up or pumpdown control is programmed using Main_PD_Pol or
Aux_PD_Pol depending on whether Main or Aux VCO characteristics are positive or negative. (See Programming Description 2.4) The phase detector also receives a feedback
signal from the charge pump in order to eliminate dead zone.
1.7 FoLD MULTIFUNCTION OUTPUT
The LMX1600/01/02 programmable output pin (FoLD) can
deliver the internal counter outputs, digital lock detects, or
CMOS high/low levels.
1.7.1 Lock Detect
A digital filtered lock detect function is included with each
phase detector through an internal digital filter to produce a
logic level output available on the Fo/LD output pin, if selected. The lock detect output is high when the error between
the phase detector inputs is less than 15 ns for 4 consecutive
6
1.8 POWER CONTROL
Each PLL is individually power controlled by the device EN
pin. The ENMAIN controls the Main PLL, and the ENAUX
controls the Aux PLL. Activation of EN = LOW (power down)
condition results in the disabling of the respective N and R
counters and de-biasing of their respective fin inputs (to a
high impedance state). The reference oscillator input block
powers down and the OSCIN pin reverts to a high impedance
state only when both EN pins are LOW. Power down forces
the respective charge pump and phase comparator logic to a
TRI-STATE condition as well as disabling the bandgap reference block. Power up occurs immediately when the EN pin
is brought high. Power up sequence: Bandgap and Oscillator
blocks come up first, with the remaining PLL functions becoming active approx. 1 µs later. All programming information is retained internally in the chip when in power down
mode. The MICROWIRE control register remains active and
capable of loading and latching in data during power down
mode.
(Continued)
comparison cycles. The lock detect output is low when the
error between the phase detector outputs is more than 30 ns
for one comparison cycle. The lock detect output is always
low when the PLL is in power down mode. For further
description see Programming Description 2.5.
2.0 Programming Description
2.1 MICROWIRE INTERFACE
The descriptions below detail the 18-bit data register loaded through the MICROWIRE Interface. The 18-bit shift register is used
to program the 12-bit Main and Aux R counter registers and the 16-bit Main and Aux N counter registers. The shift register
consists of a 16-bit DATA field and a 2-bit control (CTL [1:0]) field as shown below. The control bits decode the internal register
address. On the rising edge of LE, data stored in the shift register is loaded into one of the 4 appropriate latches (selected by
address bits). Data is shifted in MSB first.

PROGRAMMABLE FEEDBACK (N) DIVIDERS
2.3.1 AUX_N Register
If the Control Bits ( CTL[1:0]) are 0 1 when LE transitions high, data is transferred from the 18-bit shift register into the AUX_N
register latch which sets the Aux PLL 16-bit programmable N counter value. The AUX_N counter is a 16-bit counter which is fully
programmable from 240 to 65,535 for 1.1 GHz option or from 56 to 32,767 for 500 MHz option. The AUX_N register consists of
the 4-bit swallow counter (AUX_A_CNTR), the 12-bit programmable counter (AUX_B_CNTR). Serial data format is shown below.
The divide ratio (AUX_N_CNTR [13:0]) must be ≥ 240 (1.1 GHz option) or ≥ 56 (500 MHz option) for a continuous divide range.
The Aux PLL N divide ratio is programmed using the bits AUX_A_CNTR, AUX_B_CNTR as shown in tables 2.3.2.

MAIN_N Register
If the Control Bits (CTL[1:0]) are 1 1 when LE transitions high, data is transferred from the 18-bit shift register into the MAIN_N
register latch which sets 16-bit programmable N divider value. The Main N divider is a 16-bit counter which is fully programmable
from 992 to 65,535 for 2 GHz option and from 240 to 65,535 for 1.1 GHz option. The MAIN_N register consists of the 5-bit (2 GHz
option) or 4-bit (1.1 GHz option) swallow counter (MAIN_A_CNTR) and the 11-bit (2 GHz option) or 12-bit (1.1 GHz option)
programmable counter (MAIN_B_CNTR). Serial data format for the MAIN_N register latch shown below. The divide ratio must be
≥ 992 (2 GHz option) or > 240 (1.1 GHz option) for a continuous divide range. The divide ratio is programmed using the bits
MAIN _A_CNTR and MAIN_B_CNTR as shown in tables 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 The pulse swallow function which determines the divide
ratio is described in Section 2.3.7.

MAIN_B_CNTR ≥ MAIN_A_CNTR.
See section 2.3.7 for calculation of VCO output frequency.
2.3.7 Pulse Swallow Function
The N divider counts such that it divides the VCO RF frequency by (P+1) for A times, and then divides by P for (B – A ) times.
The B value (B_CNTR) must be ≥ 3. The continuous divider range for the Main PLL N divider is from 992 to 65,535 for 2 GHz
option, from 240 to 65,535 for 1.1 GHz option, and from 56 to 32,767 for 500 MHz option. Divider ratios less than the minimum
value are achievable as long as the binary counter value is greater than or equal to the swallow counter value (B_CNTR ≥
A_CNTR).
fVCO = N x ( fOSC / R )
N = (P x B) + A

Lock Detect Digital Filter
The Lock Detect Digital Filter compares the difference between the phase of the inputs of the phase detector to a RC generated
delay of approximately 15 ns. To enter the locked state (Lock = HIGH) the phase error must be less than the 15 ns RC delay for
4 consecutive reference cycles. Once in lock (Lock = HIGH), the RC delay is changed to approximately 30 ns. To exit the locked
state (Lock = LOW), the phase error must become greater than the 30 ns RC delay. When the PLL is in the powerdown mode,
Lock is forced LOW. A flow chart of the digital filter is shown below.

OSC Mode Programming
The OSCout pin can be optimized for operating with an external crystal resonator or an external reference frequency source (i.e.
TCXO). If the application uses an external reference frequency source, the current dissipation of the LMX1600/01/02 can be
reduced with the Logic Mode (0.5 mA typ.). Crystal Mode should be used when an external crystal resonator is used. Logic Mode
is used when an external reference frequency source is used. In Logic Mode, OSCOUT should be connected to a 30 pF capacitor
to ground for optimum performance.
When the FoLD output state is selected to CMOS high/low levels, the OSC Mode is forced to Crystal Mode.

TYPICAL APPLICATION EXAMPLE
10012920
OPERATIONAL NOTES:
* VCO is assumed AC coupled.
** RIN 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. The fin RF impedance ranges from 40Ω to 100Ω. The fin IF impedances are higher.
*** 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 below)
10012921
**** Adding RC filter to the VCC line is recommended to reduce loop-to-loop noise coupling.
— Proper use of grounds and bypass capacitors is essential to achieve a high level of performance. Crosstalk between pins can
be reduced by careful board layout.
— This is a static sensitive device. It should be handled only at static free work stations.
