LMX2301
PLLatinum TM 160 MHz Frequency Synthesizer
for RF Personal Communications
General Description
Features
The LMX2301 is a high performance frequency synthesizer
designed for RF operation up to 160 MHz. It is fabricated
using National’s ABiC IV BiCMOS process.
LMX2301, which employs the digital phase lock loop technique, combined with a high quality reference oscillator and
a loop filter, provides the tuning voltage for the voltage controlled oscillator to generate a very stable, low noise local
oscillator signal.
Serial data is transferred into the LMX2301 via a three line
MICROWIRETM interface (Data, Enable, Clock). Supply voltage can range from 2.7V to 5.5V.
The LMX2301 features very low current consumption, typically 2 mA at 3V.
The LMX2301 is available in a TSSOP 20-pin surface mount
plastic package.

Functional Description
The simplified block diagram below shows the 19-bit data register, the 14-bit R Counter and the R15 Latch, and the 11-bit
N Counter (intermediate latches are not shown). The data stream is clocked (on the rising edge) into the DATA input, MSB first.
If the Control Bit (last bit input) is HIGH, the DATA is transferred into the R Counter (programmable reference divider) and the
S Latch (power up counter reset). If the Control Bit (LSB) is LOW, the DATA is transferred into the N Counter (programmable
divider).
TL/W/12458 – 1
PROGRAMMABLE REFERENCE DIVIDER (R COUNTER) AND COUNTER RESET (R15 LATCH)
If the Control Bit (last bit shifted into the Data Register) is HIGH, data is transferred from the 19-bit shift register into a 14-bit
latch (which sets the 14-bit R Counter) and the 1-bit R15 Latch, which can be used to force an immediate load of the R and N
counters during a cold power up condition. Serial data format is shown below.

SERIAL DATA INPUT TIMING
TL/W/12458 – 16
Notes: Parenthesis data indicates programmable reference divider data.
Data shifted into register on clock rising edge.
Data is shifted in MSB first.
Test Conditions: The Serial Data Input Timing is tested using a symmetrical waveform around VCC/2. The test waveform has an edge rate of 0.6 V/ns with
amplitudes of 2.2V @ VCC e 2.7V and 2.6V @ VCC e 5.5V.
Phase Characteristics
In normal operation, the FC pin is used to reverse the polarity of the phase detector. Both the internal and any external
charge pump are affected.
Depending upon VCO characteristics, FC pin should be set
accordingly:
When VCO characteristics are like (1), FC should be set
HIGH or OPEN CIRCUIT;
When VCO characteristics are like (2), FC should be set
LOW.
When FC is set HIGH or OPEN CIRCUIT, the monitor pin of
the phase comparator input, fout, is set to the reference
divider output, fr. When FC is set LOW, fout is set to the
programmable divider output, fp.

Analog Switch
The analog switch is useful for radio systems that utilize a frequency scanning mode and a narrow band mode. The purpose of
the analog switch is to decrease the loop filter time constant, allowing the VCO to adjust to its new frequency in a shorter
amount of time. This is achieved by adding another filter stage in parallel. The output of the charge pump is normally through the
Do pin, but when LE is set HIGH, the charge pump output also becomes available at BISW. A typical circuit is shown below. The
second filter stage (LPF-2) is effective only when the switch is closed (in the scanning mode).

Typical Application Example
Operational Notes:
*
**
TL/W/12458 – 22
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 10X to 200X depending on the VCO power
level. fIN RF impedance ranges from 40X to 100X.
*** 50X 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)
TL/W/12458 – 23
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.

The PLL linear model control circuit is shown along with the
open loop transfer function in Figure 3 . Using the phase
detector and VCO gain constants [Kw and KVCO] and the
loop filter transfer function [Z(s)], the open loop Bode plot
can be calculated. The loop bandwidth is shown on the
Bode plot (0p) as the point of unity gain. The phase margin
is shown to be the difference between the phase at the unity
gain point and b180§ .

This relationship is given in equation 5.

For the loop to be stable the unity gain point must occur
before the phase reaches b180 degrees. We therefore
want the phase margin to be at a maximum when the magnitude of the open loop gain equals 1. Equation 2 then gives

Therefore, if we specify the loop bandwidth, 0p, and the
phase margin, wp, Equations 1 through 6 allow us to calculate the two time constants, T1 and T2, as shown in equations 7 and 8. A common rule of thumb is to begin your
design with a 45§ phase margin.

In choosing the loop filter components a trade off must be
made between lock time, noise, stability, and reference
spurs. The greater the loop bandwidth the faster the lock
time will be, but a large loop bandwidth could result in higher
reference spurs. Wider loop bandwidths generally improve
close in phase noise but may increase integrated phase
noise depending on the reference input, VCO and division
ratios used. The reference spurs can be reduced by reducing the loop bandwidth or by adding more low pass filter
stages but the lock time will increase and stability will decrease as a result.

From the time constants T1, and T2, and the loop bandwidth, 0p, the values for C1, R2, and C2 are obtained in
equations 9 to 11.
THIRD ORDER FILTER
A low pass filter section may be needed for some applications that require additional rejection of the reference sidebands, or spurs. This configuration is given in Figure 4 . In
order to compensate for the added low pass section, the
component values are recalculated using the new open
loop unity gain frequency. The degradation of phase margin
caused by the added low pass is then mitigated by slightly
increasing C1 and C2 while slightly decreasing R2.
The added attenuation from the low pass filter is:

EXAMPLE
EXTERNAL CHARGE PUMP
The LMX PLLatinum series of frequency synthesizers are
equipped with an internal balanced charge pump as well as
outputs for driving an external charge pump. Although the
superior performance of NSC’s on board charge pump eliminates the need for an external charge pump in most applications, certain system requirements are more stringent. In
these cases, using an external charge pump allows the designer to take direct control of such parameters as charge
pump voltage swing, current magnitude, TRI-STATE leakage, and temperature compensation.
One possible architecture for an external charge pump current source is shown in Figure 9 . The signals wp and wr in
the diagram, correspond to the phase detector outputs of
the LMX2301 frequency synthesizer. These logic signals are
converted into current pulses, using the circuitry shown in
Figure 9 , to enable either charging or discharging of the
loop filter components to control the output frequency of the
PLL.
Referring to Figure 9 , the design goal is to generate a 5 mA
current which is relatively constant to within 0.5V of the
power supply rail. To accomplish this, it is important to establish as large of a voltage drop across R5, R8 as possible
without saturating Q2, Q4. A voltage of approximately 300
mV provides a good compromise. This allows the current
source reference being generated to be relatively repeatable in the absence of good Q1, Q2/Q3, Q4 matching.
(Matched transistor pairs is recommended.) The wp and wr
outputs are rated for a maximum output load current of 1
mA while 5 mA current sources are desired. The voltages
developed across R4, 9 will consequently be approximately
258 mV, or 42 mV k R8, 5, due to the current density differences À0.026*1n (5 mA/1 mA)Ó through the Q1, Q2/Q3, Q4
pairs.
In order to calculate the value of R7 it is necessary to first
estimate the forward base to emitter voltage drop (Vfn,p) of
the transistors used, the VOL drop of wp, and the VOH drop
of wr’s under 1 mA loads. (wp’s VOL k 0.1V and wr’s
VOH k 0.1V.)
Knowing these parameters along with the desired current
allow us to design a simple external charge pump. Separating the pump up and pump down circuits facilitates the nodal analysis and give the following equations.
