LMX2525
Functional Description
GENERAL
The LMX2525 is a highly integrated frequency synthesizer
system for Japan PDC wireless communication systems.
The LMX2525 supports dual band operation for 800 MHz
and 1500 MHz.
20068910
where Ctotal is the total capacitance of the VCO, including
the parasitic capacitance and the nominal self-tuning capacitance. Note, the external inductance consists of the PCB
traces and lumped element inductor. The output frequency
tuning range can be optimized for the specific application by
selecting the appropriate external inductance. Refer to RF2
VCO Tuning Range vs. External Inductance plot to aid in
selecting the appropriate external inductance. Care should
be taken to ensure proper frequency coverage when choosing the tolerance of the lumped element inductor. For the
1500 MHz band, the internal bonding-wires provide the necessary inductance to set the VCO center frequency.
The LMX2525 includes all functional blocks for the RF PLL
including RF VCOs, frequency dividers, PFDs, and loop
filters. Only external passive elements for the RF2 VCO tank
and supply bypassing are required to complete the RF synthesizer.
The LMX2525 uses a patent pending Fractional-N synthesizer architecture based on a delta sigma modulator to support fine frequency resolution. Four of the most common
reference frequencies for PDC applications, 12.6 MHz, 14.4
MHz, 25.2 MHz and 26.0 MHz, are supported. The unique
feature of this architecture is its low spurious modulation
effect.
The use of a fractional synthesizer based on a delta sigma
modulator allows for faster lock and system set-up times,
which reduces system power consumption. The loop filter is
included on chip to minimize the external noise coupling and
to reduce the form factor applicable to the board level application. Only one of the two RF VCOs is activated at a given
time, and each output is provided through its own output pin.
RF PLL SECTION
Frequency Selection
The divide ratio can be calculated using the following equations:
fVCO = {8 x RF_B + RF_A + (RF_FN / FD)} x (fOSC / R) where
(RF_A < RF_B) for PDC1500
fVCO = {4 x RF_B + RF_A + (RF_FN / FD)} x (fOSC / R) where
(RF_A < RF_B) for PDC800
fVCO: Output frequency of voltage controlled oscillator (VCO)
20068905
FIGURE 1. External Inductor Connection
In real implementation, the inductance of Lfixed and Lexternal
can vary from its nominal value. The LMX2525 utilizes a
built-in tracking algorithm to compensate for variations up to
± 15% and tunes the VCO to the required frequency. During
the frequency acquisition period, the loop bandwidth is extended to achieve the frequency lock. After the frequency
lock, the loop bandwidth of the PLL is set to the nominal
value and the phase lock is achieved. The transition between the two operating modes is very smooth and extremely fast to meet the stringent PDC requirements for lock
time and phase noise.
RF_B: Preset divide ratio of binary 4-bit programmable
counter (2 ≤ RF_B ≤ 15)
RF_A: Preset divide ratio of binary 3-bit swallow counter (0 ≤
RF_A ≤ 7 for PDC1500 and 0 ≤ RF_A ≤ 3 for PDC800)
RF_FN: Preset numerator of binary 10-bit modulus counter
(0 ≤ RF_FN < FD)
FD: Preset denominator for modulus counter (FD = fOSC/(R
X fCH) where fCH is the channel spacing)
fOSC: Reference oscillator frequency
R: Internal reference oscillator frequency divider (1 for 12.6
MHz and 14.4 MHz, 2 for 25.2 MHz and 26.0 MHz)
The denominator, FD, in the above equation is dependent on
the channel spacing and reference oscillator frequency. The
channel spacing will change based on the Rx/Tx and BS
bits. Table 6 in the R0 Register section summarizes the
values of FD.
POWER DOWN MODE
The LMX2525 includes the power down mode to reduce the
power consumption. The LMX2525 enters the power down
mode either by taking the CE pin LOW or by setting the
RF_PD bit in the R0 register. If the CE pin is set LOW, the
circuit is powered down regardless of the register values.
When the CE pin is HIGH, the RF_PD bit controls power to
the RF circuitry. Data can be written to the registers even
when the CE pin is set LOW. The following truth table
summarizes the power down logic.
VCO Frequency Tuning
The center frequency of the RF VCOs are determined by the
resonant frequency of the tank circuit, illustrated in Figure 1.
With an internal fixed bonding-wire inductor and an external
inductance, the center frequency of the VCO is given as
follows:

on the LD pin. When the PLL is not locked, the LD pin
remains LOW. After obtaining phase lock, the LD pin will
have a logical HIGH level. The LD output is always LOW
when the LD register bit is 0 and in power down mode.
(Continued)
BAND SELECT MODE
The BS pin and BS bit can be used to select one of the two
RF VCO outputs. When using the BS pin, the BS bit must be
set to 0, and when using the BS bit, the BS pin must be tied
to ground. When using the BS pin, the state of the input must
exceed the minimum band select set up time prior to the LE
signal transition. The truth table summarizing the band select
logic is as follows:

FIGURE 3. Lock Detect Flow Diagram
MICROWIRE INTERFACE
The programmable register set is accessed via the
MICROWIRE serial interface. The interface is comprised of
three signal pins: CLK, DATA, and LE (Latch Enable). Serial
data is clocked into the 24-bit shift register on the rising edge
of the clock. The last bits decode the internal control register
address. When the latch enable (LE) transitions from LOW
to HIGH, data stored in the shift registers is loaded into the
corresponding control register. The data is loaded MSB first.
LOCKING MODES
Two frequency-locking modes are provided: a Normal mode
and a High Speed mode for faster lock times. The HS bit in
register R0 controls the locking mode.

www.national.com
GENERAL PROGRAMMING INFORMATION
The serial interface has a 24-bit shift register to store the incoming data bits temporarily. The incoming data is first loaded into the
shift register from MSB to LSB. The data is shifted at the rising edge of the clock signal. When the latch enable signal transitions
from LOW to HIGH, the data stored in shift register is transferred to the proper register depending on the address bit setting. The
selection of the particular register is determined by the control bits indicated in boldface text.
At initial start-up, the MICROWIRE loading requires three default words (registers R2, loaded first, to R0, loaded last). After the
device has been initially programmed, the RF VCO frequency can be changed using a single register (R0).
The control register content map describes how the bits within each control register are allocated to the specific control functions.

R0 REGISTER
The R0 register address bits (R0 [1:0]) are “00”.
The Rx/Tx bit selects between receive and transmit modes and, in conjunction with the band select bit (BS), the channel spacing
to be synthesized.
The RF_PD bit selects the power down mode of the RF PLL and selected VCO.
The HS bit selects between normal and high speed locking mode.
The BS bit determines which of the two internal VCOs (PDC800 or PDC1500) is active.
The RF N counter consists of the 4-bit programmable counter (RF_B counter), the 3-bit swallow counter (RF_A counter) and the
10-bit delta sigma modulator (RF_FN counter). The equations for calculating the counter values are presented below.

R1 REGISTER
The R1 register address bits (R1 [1:0]) are “01”.
The SPI_DEF bit allows for the programming of words R3 to R5. Under most circumstances, the SPI_DEF bit should be set to
1.
The LD bit sets the function of the lock detect pin. Enabling the lock detect function provides a digital lock detect output of the
active RF synthesizer at the LD pin.
The OB_CRL [1:0] bits determine the power level of the RF output buffer. The power level can be adjusted to best meet the
system requirement. Refer to the Electrical Characteristics section for power output specifications.
The reference frequency selection bits, OSC_FREQ [1:0], are used to set the reference clock and R divider for use with one of
the following reference frequencies: 12.6 MHz, 14.4 MHz, 25.2 MHz or 26.0 MHz. The LMX2525 uses the OSC_FREQ bits along
with the BS and RX/TX bits to determine the correct divide ratios needed to meet the required channel spacing for the mode of
operation selected. Refer to Table 6 for a summary of denominator values.
