General Description
The LMX2335, LMX2336 and LMX2337 are monolithic, integrated dual frequency synthesizers, including two high frequency prescalers, and are designed for applications requiring two RF phase-lock loops. They are fabricated using
National’s ABiC IV silicon BiCMOS process.
The LMX2335/36/37 contains two dual modulus prescalers.
A 64/65 or a 128/129 prescaler can be selected for each RF
synthesizer. A second reference divider chain is included in
the IC for improved system noise. LMX2335/36/37, which
employ a digital phase locked loop technique, combined with
a high quality reference oscillator and loop filters, provide the
tuning voltages for voltage controlled oscillators to generate
very stable low noise RF local oscillator signals.
Serial data is transferred into the LMX2335/36/37 via a three
wire interface (Data, Enable, Clock). Supply voltage can
range from 2.7V to 5.5V. The LMX2335/36/37 feature very
low current consumption; LMX2335/37 −10 mA at 3V,
LMX2336 −13 mA at 3V. The LMX2335/37 are available in
both a JEDEC SO and TSSOP 16-pin surface mount plastic
package. The LMX2336 is available in a TSSOP 20-pin surface mount plastic package.

Note 6: Activation of the RF2 PLL or RF1 PLL powerdown modes result in the disabling of the respective N counter divider and debiasing of its respective fIN inputs
(to a high impedance state). The powerdown function is gated by the charge pump to prevent unwanted frequency jumps. Once the powerdown program mode is
loaded, the part will go into powerdown mode when the charge pump reaches a TRI-STATE condition. The R counter and Oscillator functionality does not become
disabled until both RF2 and RF1 powerdown bits are activated. The OSCin is connected to VCC through 100 kΩ resistor and the OSCout goes HIGH when this condition exists. The MICROWIRE control register remains active and capable of loading and latching data during all of the powerdown modes.
Note 7: PHASE DETECTOR POLARITY
Depending upon VCO characteristics, the R16 bits should be set accordingly:
When VCO characteristics are positive like (1), R16 should be set HIGH;
When VCO characteristics are negative like (2), R16 should be set LOW.

FoLD
Output State
Functional Description
(Continued)
Note 9: When the FoLD output is disabled it is actively pulled to a low logic state.
Note 10: Lock detect output provided to indicate when the VCO frequency is in “lock”. When the loop is locked and a lock detect mode is selected, the pins output
is HIGH, with narrow pulses LOW. In the RF1/RF2 lock detect mode a locked condition is indicated when RF2 and RF1 are both locked.
Note 11: The Fastlock mode utilized the FoLD output pin to switch a second loop filter damping resistor to ground during fastlock operation. Activation of Fastlock
occurs whenever the RF loop’s Icpo magnitude bit #17 is selected HIGH (while the #19 and #20 mode bits are set for Fastlock).
Note 12: The Counter Reset mode bits R19 and R20 when activated reset all counters. Upon removal of the Reset bits the N counter resumes counting in “close”
alignment with the R counter. (The maximum error is one prescaler cycle). If the Reset bits are activated the R counter is also forced to Reset, allowing smooth acquisition upon powering up.

Typical Application Example
DS012332-10
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. fIN RF impedance ranges from 40Ω to 100Ω. 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).
**** Adding RC filters to the VCC lines is recommended to reduce loop-to-loop noise coupling.
**
DS012332-11
Application Hints:
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 an electrostatic sensitive device. It should be handled only at static free work stations.
Application Information
A block diagram of the basic phase locked loop is shown in Figure 1.

Application Information
A plot of the magnitude and phase of G(s) H(s) for a stable
loop, is shown in Figure 4 with a solid trace. The parameter
φp shows the amount of phase margin that exists at the point
the gain drops below zero (the cutoff frequency wp of the
loop). In a critically damped system, the amount of phase
margin would be approximately 45 degrees.
If we were now to redefine the cut off frequency, wp’, as
double the frequency which gave us our original loop bandwidth, wp, the loop response time would be approximately
halved. Because the filter attenuation at the comparison frequency also diminishes, the spurs would have increased by
approximately 6 dB. In the proposed Fastlock scheme, the
higher spur levels and wider loop filter conditions would exist
only during the initial lock-on phase — just long enough to
reap the benefits of locking faster. The objective would be to
open up the loop bandwidth but not introduce any additional
complications or compromises related to our original design
criteria. We would ideally like to momentarily shift the curve
Figure 4 over to a different cutoff frequency, illustrated by
dotted line, without affecting the relative open loop gain and
phase relationships. To maintain the same gain/phase relationship at twice the original cutoff frequency, other terms in
the gain and phase Equations (5), (6) will have to compensate by the corresponding “1/w” or “1/w2” factor. Examination
of Equations (3), (4), (5) indicates the damping resistor variable R2 could be chosen to compensate with “w” terms for
the phase margin. This implies that another resistor of equal
value to R2 will need to be switched in parallel with R2 during
the initial lock period. We must also ensure that the magnitude of the open loop gain, H(s)G(s) is equal to zero at wp’ =
2 wp. KVCO, Kφ, N, or the net product of these terms can be
changed by a factor of 4, to counteract with w2 term present
in the denominator of Equations (3), (4). The Kφ term was
chosen to complete the transformation because it can
readily be switched between 1X and 4X values. This is accomplished by increasing the charge pump output current
from 1 mA in the standard mode to 4 mA in Fastlock.

Loop Gain Equations
A linear control system model of the phase feedback for a
PLL in the locked state is shown in Figure 2 . The open loop
gain is the product of the phase comparator gain (Kφ), the
VCO gain (KVCO/s), and the loop filter gain Z(s) divided by
the gain of the feedback counter modulus (N). The passive
loop filter configuration used is displayed in Figure 3 , while
the complex impedance of the filter is given in Equation (2).

Fastlock Circuit Implementation
A diagram of the Fastlock scheme as implemented in National Semiconductors LMX2335/36/37 PLL is shown in Figure 5. When a new frequency is loaded, and the RF1 ICPo bit
is set high, the charge pump circuit receives an input to deliver 4 times the normal current per unit phase error while an
open drain NMOS on chip device switches in a second R2
resistor element to ground. The user calculates the loop filter
component values for the normal steady state considerations. The device configuration ensures that as long as a
second identical damping resistor is wired in appropriately,
the loop will lock faster without any additional stability considerations to account for. Once locked on the correct frequency, the user can return the PLL to standard low noise
operation by sending a MICROWIRE instruction with the
RF1 ICPo bit set low. This transition does not affect the
charge on the loop filter capacitors and is enacted synchronous with the charge pump output. This creates a nearly
seamless change between Fastlock and standard mode.

T2 = R2 • C2
The 3rd order PLL Open Loop Gain can be calculated in
terms of frequency, ω, the filter time contants T1 and T2, and
the design constants Kφ, KVCO, and N.

From Equation (3) we can see that the phase term will be dependent on the single pole and zero such that the phase
margin is determined in Equation (5).
