GENERAL DESCRIPTION
8.0 GHz bandwidth
3.2 V to 3.6 V power supply
Separate charge pump supply (VP) allows extended tuning
voltage in 3.3 V systems
Programmable, dual modulus prescaler 8/9, 16/17, 32/33, or
64/65
Programmable charge pump currents
Programmable antibacklash pulse width
3-wire serial interface
Analog and digital lock detect
Hardware and software power-down mode
Loop filter design possible with ADIsimPLL
The ADF4108 frequency synthesizer can be used to implement
local oscillators in the up-conversion and down-conversion
sections of wireless receivers and transmitters. It consists of a
low noise digital PFD (phase frequency detector), a precision
charge pump, a programmable reference divider, programmable
A and B counters, and a dual-modulus prescaler (P/P + 1). The
A (6-bit) and B (13-bit) counters, in conjunction with the dualmodulus prescaler (P/P + 1), implement an N divider (N =
BP + A). In addition, the 14-bit reference counter (R counter),
allows selectable REFIN frequencies at the PFD input. A
complete phase-locked loop (PLL) can be implemented if the
synthesizer is used with an external loop filter and voltage
controlled oscillator (VCO). Its very high bandwidth means
that frequency doublers can be eliminated in many high
frequency systems, simplifying system architecture and
reducing cost.

This is the maximum operating frequency of the CMOS counters. The prescaler value should be chosen to ensure that the RF input is divided down to a frequency that
is less than this value.
4
AVDD = DVDD = 3.3 V.
5
AC coupling ensures AVDD/2 bias.
6
Guaranteed by design. Sample tested to ensure compliance.
7
TA = 25°C; AVDD = DVDD = 3.3 V; P = 32; RFIN = 8 GHz, fPFD = 200 kHz, REFIN = 10 MHz.
8
TA = 25°C; AVDD = DVDD = 3.3 V; R = 16,383; A = 63; B = 891; P = 32; RFIN = 7.0 GHz.
9
This value can be used to calculate phase noise for any application. Use the formula –219 + 10 log(fPFD) + 20 logN to calculate in-band phase noise performance as seen
at the VCO output. The value given is the lowest noise mode.
10
The phase noise is measured with the EVAL-ADF4108EB1 evaluation board, with the Hittite HMC506LP4 VCO. The spectrum analyzer provides the REFIN for the
synthesizer (fREFOUT = 10 MHz @ 0 dBm).
11
fREFIN = 10 MHz; fPFD = 1 MHz; fRF = 7900 MHz; N = 7900; loop B/W = 50 kHz, VCO = HMC506LP4, spurs are dominated by the leakage current on the tuning port of the
HMC506LP4 VCO.

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the
human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

Description
Connecting a resistor between this pin and CPGND sets the maximum charge pump output current.
The nominal voltage potential at the RSET pin is 0.66 V. The relationship between ICP and RSET is
25.5
I CP MAX =
R SET
with RSET = 5.1 kΩ, ICP MAX = 5 mA.
Charge Pump Output. When enabled, this pin provides ±ICP to the external loop filter, which in turn
drives the external VCO.
Charge Pump Ground. This is the ground return path for the charge pump.
Analog Ground. This is the ground return path of the prescaler.
Complementary Input to the RF Prescaler. This point must be decoupled to the ground plane with a
small bypass capacitor, typically 100 pF. See Figure 12.
Input to the RF Prescaler. This small signal input is ac-coupled to the external VCO.
Analog Power Supply. This voltage may range from 3.2 V to 3.6 V. Decoupling capacitors to the
analog ground plane should be placed as close as possible to this pin. AVDD must be the same value
as DVDD.
Reference Input. This is a CMOS input with a nominal threshold of VDD/2 and a dc equivalent input
resistance of 100 kΩ. See Figure 11. This input can be driven from a TTL or CMOS crystal oscillator or
it can be ac-coupled.
Digital Ground.
Chip Enable. A logic low on this pin powers down the device and puts the charge pump output into
three-state mode. Taking the pin high will power up the device, depending on the status of the
power-down bit, F2.
Serial Clock Input. This serial clock is used to clock in the serial data to the registers. The data is
latched into the 24-bit shift register on the CLK rising edge. This input is a high impedance CMOS
input.
Serial Data Input. The serial data is loaded MSB first with the 2 LSBs being the control bits. This input
is a high impedance CMOS input.
Load Enable, CMOS Input. When LE goes high, the data stored in the shift registers is loaded into
one of the four latches, the latch being selected using the control bits.
This multiplexer output allows either the lock detect, the scaled RF, or the scaled reference
frequency to be accessed externally.
Digital Power Supply. This may range from 3.2 V to 3.6 V. Decoupling capacitors to the digital ground
plane should be placed as close as possible to this pin. DVDD must be the same value as AVDD.
Charge Pump Power Supply. This voltage should be greater than or equal to VDD. In systems where
VDD is 3.3 V, it can be set to 5 V and used to drive a VCO with a tuning range of up to 5 V.

THEORY OF OPERATION
REFERENCE INPUT STAGE
The reference input stage is shown in Figure 11. SW1 and SW2
are normally closed switches. SW3 is normally open. When
power-down is initiated, SW3 is closed and SW1 and SW2 are
opened. This ensures that there is no loading of the REFIN pin
on power-down.

feedback counter. The counters are specified to work when the
prescaler output is 300 MHz or less. Thus, with an RF input
frequency of 4.0 GHz, a prescaler value of 16/17 is valid but a
value of 8/9 is not valid.
Pulse Swallow Function
The A and B counters, in conjunction with the dual-modulus
prescaler, make it possible to generate output frequencies that
are spaced only by the reference frequency divided by R. The
equation for the VCO frequency is as follows:
f VCO = [(P × B ) + A ] ×

where:
fVCO is the output frequency of external voltage controlled
oscillator (VCO).
P is the preset modulus of dual-modulus prescaler (8/9, 16/17,
and so on.).
B is the preset divide ratio of binary 13-bit counter (3 to 8191).
A is the preset divide ratio of binary 6-bit swallow counter (0 to
63).
fREFIN is the external reference frequency oscillator.

PRESCALER (P/P + 1)
The dual-modulus prescaler (P/P + 1), along with the A and B
counters, enables the large division ratio, N, to be realized (N =
BP + A). The dual-modulus prescaler, operating at CML levels,
takes the clock from the RF input stage and divides it down to a
manageable frequency for the CMOS A and B counters. The
prescaler is programmable. It can be set in software to 8/9,
16/17, 32/33, or 64/65. It is based on a synchronous 4/5 core. A
minimum divide ratio is possible for contiguous output
frequencies. This minimum is determined by P, the prescaler
value, and is given by: (P2 – P).
A AND B COUNTERS
The A and B CMOS counters combine with the dual-modulus
prescaler to allow a wide ranging division ratio in the PLL
The 14-bit R counter allows the input reference frequency to be
divided down to produce the reference clock to the phase
frequency detector (PFD). Division ratios from 1 to 16,383 are
allowed.
PHASE FREQUENCY DETECTOR AND CHARGE
PUMP
The phase frequency detector (PFD) takes inputs from the R
counter and N counter (N = BP + A) and produces an output
proportional to the phase and frequency difference between
them. Figure 14 is a simplified schematic. The PFD includes a
programmable delay element that controls the width of the
antibacklash pulse. This pulse ensures that there is no dead zone
in the PFD transfer function and minimizes phase noise and
reference spurs. Two bits in the reference counter latch, ABP2
and ABP1, control the width of the pulse. (See Figure 17.)

MUXOUT AND LOCK DETECT
The output multiplexer on the ADF4108 allows the user to
access various internal points on the chip. The state of
MUXOUT is controlled by M3, M2, and M1 in the function
latch. Figure 19 shows the full truth table. Figure 15 shows the
MUXOUT section in block diagram form.
Lock Detect
MUXOUT can be programmed for two types of lock detect:
digital lock detect and analog lock detect.
INPUT SHIFT REGISTER
The ADF4108 digital section includes a 24-bit input shift
register, a 14-bit R counter, and a 19-bit N counter, comprising a
6-bit A counter and a 13-bit B counter. Data is clocked into the
24-bit shift register on each rising edge of CLK. The data is
clocked in MSB first. Data is transferred from the shift register
to one of four latches on the rising edge of LE. The destination
latch is determined by the state of the two control bits (C2, C1)
in the shift register. These are the 2 LSBs, DB1 and DB0, as
shown in the timing diagram of Figure 2. The truth table for
these bits is shown in Table 5.
Figure 16 shows a summary of how the latches are
programmed.
Digital lock detect is active high. When the lock detect
precision (LDP) bit in the R counter latch is set to 0, digital lock
detect is set high when the phase error on three consecutive
phase detector (PD) cycles is less than 15 ns. With LDP set to 1,
five consecutive cycles of less than 15 ns are required to set the
lock detect. It will stay set high until a phase error of greater
than 25 ns is detected on any subsequent PD cycle.

The N-channel open-drain analog lock detect should be
operated with an external pull-up resistor of 10 kΩ nominal.
When lock has been detected, this output will be high with
narrow, low-going pulses.

ADF4108
The on-chip function latch is programmed with C2 and C1 set
to 1 and 0, respectively. Figure 19 shows the input data format
for programming the function latch.
fastlock is enabled, this bit determines which fastlock mode is
used. If the fastlock mode bit is 0, then Fastlock Mode 1 is
selected; and if the fastlock mode bit is 1, then Fastlock Mode 2
is selected.
Counter Reset
Fastlock Mode 1
FUNCTION LATCH
DB2 (F1) is the counter reset bit. When this bit is 1, the R
counter and the AB counters are reset. For normal operation,
this bit should be 0. Upon powering up, the F1 bit needs to be
disabled (set to 0). Then, the N counter resumes counting in
close alignment with the R counter. (The maximum error is one
prescaler cycle.)
Power-Down
When the CE pin is low, the device is immediately disabled
regardless of the states of PD2 and PD1.
In the programmed asynchronous power-down, the device
powers down immediately after latching a 1 into the PD1 bit,
with the condition that PD2 has been loaded with a 0.
In the programmed synchronous power-down, the device
power-down is gated by the charge pump to prevent unwanted
frequency jumps. Once the power-down is enabled by writing a
1 into PD1 (on condition that a 1 has also been loaded to PD2),
then the device will go into power-down on the occurrence of
the next charge pump event.
When a power-down is activated (either synchronous or
asynchronous mode, including CE pin activated power-down),
the following events occur:
•
All active dc current paths are removed.
•
The R, N, and timeout counters are forced to their load
state conditions.
•
The charge pump is forced into three-state mode.
•
The digital lock detect circuitry is reset.
•
The RFIN input is debiased.
•
The reference input buffer circuitry is disabled.
•
The input register remains active and capable of loading
and latching data.
Fastlock Mode 2
The device enters fastlock by having a 1 written to the CP gain
bit in the AB counter latch. The device exits fastlock under the
control of the timer counter. After the timeout period
determined by the value in TC4:TC1, the CP gain bit in the AB
counter latch is automatically reset to 0 and the device reverts to
normal mode instead of fastlock. See Figure 19 for the timeout
periods.
Timer Counter Control
The user has the option of programming two charge pump
currents. The intent is that Current Setting 1 is used when the
RF output is stable and the system is in a static state. Current
Setting 2 is meant to be used when the system is dynamic and in
a state of change (that is, when a new output frequency is
programmed).
The normal sequence of events is as follows:
The user initially decides what the preferred charge pump
currents are going to be. For example, the choice may be 2.5 mA
as Current Setting 1 and 5 mA as Current Setting 2.
At the same time it must be decided how long the secondary
current is to stay active before reverting to the primary current.
This is controlled by the timer counter control bits, DB14:DB11
(TC4:TC1) in the function latch. The truth table is given in
Figure 19.
MUXOUT Control
The on-chip multiplexer is controlled by M3, M2, and M1 on
the ADF4108. Figure 19 shows the truth table.
Fastlock Enable Bit
DB9 of the function latch is the fastlock enable bit. Fastlock is
enabled only when this bit is 1.
DB10 of the function latch is the fastlock mode bit. When
The device enters fastlock by having a 1 written to the CP gain
bit in the AB counter latch. The device exits fastlock by having a
0 written to the CP gain bit in the AB counter latch.
The charge pump current is switched to the contents of Current
Setting 2.
DB3 (PD1) and DB21 (PD2) provide programmable powerdown modes. They are enabled by the CE pin.
Fastlock Mode Bit
The charge pump current is switched to the contents of Current
Setting 2.
Now, to program a new output frequency, the user simply
programs the AB counter latch with new values for A and B. At
the same time, the CP gain bit can be set to 1, which sets the
charge pump with the value in CPI6:CPI4 for a period of time
determined by TC4–TC1. When this time is up, the charge
pump current reverts to the value set by CPI3:CPI1. At the
same time, the CP gain bit in the AB counter latch is reset to 0
and is now ready for the next time the user wishes to change the
frequency.
Note that there is an enable feature on the timer counter. It is
enabled when Fastlock Mode 2 is chosen by setting the fastlock
mode bit (DB10) in the function latch to 1.

Charge Pump Currents
When the initialization latch is loaded, the following occurs:
CPI3, CPI2, and CPI1 program Current Setting 1 for the charge
pump. CPI6, CPI5, and CPI4 program Current Setting 2 for the
charge pump. The truth table is given in Figure 19.
•
•
Prescaler Value
P2 and P1 in the function latch set the prescaler values. The
prescaler value should be chosen so that the prescaler output
frequency is always less than or equal to 300 MHz. Thus, with
an RF frequency of 4 GHz, a prescaler value of 16/17 is valid but
a value of 8/9 is not valid.
•
CE Pin Method
PD Polarity
This bit sets the phase detector polarity bit. See Figure 19.
1.
Apply VDD.
2.
Bring CE low to put the device into power-down. This is an
asynchronous power-down in that it happens immediately.
3.
Program the function latch (10).
4.
Program the R counter latch (00).
5.
Program the AB counter latch (01).
6.
Bring CE high to take the device out of power-down. The R
and AB counters will now resume counting in close
alignment.
CP Three-State
This bit controls the CP output pin. With the bit set high, the
CP output is put into three-state. With the bit set low, the CP
output is enabled.
INITIALIZATION LATCH
The initialization latch is programmed when C2 and C1 are set
to 1 and 1. This is essentially the same as the function latch
(programmed when C2, C1 = 1, 0).
However, when the initialization latch is programmed, an
additional internal reset pulse is applied to the R and AB
counters. This pulse ensures that the AB counter is at load point
when the AB counter data is latched and the device will begin
counting in close phase alignment.
If the latch is programmed for synchronous power-down (CE
pin is high; PD1 bit is high; PD2 bit is low), the internal pulse
also triggers this power-down. The prescaler reference and the
oscillator input buffer are unaffected by the internal reset pulse
and so close phase alignment is maintained when counting
resumes.
When the first AB counter data is latched after initialization, the
internal reset pulse is again activated. However, successive AB
counter loads after this will not trigger the internal reset pulse.
Device Programming after Initial Power-Up
After initially powering up the device, there are three ways to
program the device.
Initialization Latch Method
1.
Apply VDD.
2.
Program the initialization latch (11 in 2 LSBs of input
word). Make sure that the F1 bit is programmed to 0.
3.
Next, do a function latch load (10 in 2 LSBs of the control
word), making sure that the F1 bit is programmed to a 0.
4.
Then do an R load (00 in 2 LSBs).
5.
Then do an AB load (01 in 2 LSBs).
The function latch contents are loaded.
An internal pulse resets the R, AB, and timeout counters to
load-state conditions and also three-states the charge pump.
Note that the prescaler band gap reference and the oscillator
input buffer are unaffected by the internal reset pulse, allowing
close phase alignment when counting resumes.
Latching the first AB counter data after the initialization word
will activate the same internal reset pulse. Successive AB loads
will not trigger the internal reset pulse unless there is another
initialization.
Note that after CE goes high, a duration of 1 μs may be required
for the prescaler band gap voltage and oscillator input buffer
bias to reach steady state.
CE can be used to power the device up and down to check for
channel activity. The input register does not need to be
reprogrammed each time the device is disabled and enabled as
long as it has been programmed at least once after VDD was
initially applied.
Counter Reset Method
1.
Apply VDD.
2.
Do a function latch load (10 in 2 LSBs). As part of this,
load 1 to the F1 bit. This enables the counter reset.
3.
Do an R counter load (00 in 2 LSBs).
4.
Do an AB counter load (01 in 2 LSBs).
5.
Do a function latch load (10 in 2 LSBs). As part of this,
load 0 to the F1 bit. This disables the counter reset.
This sequence provides the same close alignment as the
initialization method. It offers direct control over the internal
reset. Note that counter reset holds the counters at load point
and three-states the charge pump, but does not trigger
synchronous power-down.
POWER SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS
The ADF4108 operates over a power supply range of 3.2 V to
3.6 V. The ADP3300ART-3.3 is a low dropout linear regulator
from Analog Devices. It outputs 3.3 V with an accuracy of 1.4%
and is recommended for use with the ADF4108.

ADF4108
INTERFACING
The ADF4108 has a simple SPI™-compatible serial interface for
writing to the device. CLK, DATA, and LE control the data
transfer. When LE (Latch Enable) goes high, the 24 bits that
have been clocked into the input register on each rising edge of
CLK are transferred to the appropriate latch. See Figure 2 for
the timing diagram and Table 5 for the latch truth table.
ADuC812 INTERFACE
Figure 21 shows the interface between the ADF4108 and the
ADuC812 MicroConverter®. Since the ADuC812 is based on an
8051 core, this interface can be used with any 8051 based
microcontroller. The MicroConverter is set up for SPI master
mode with CPHA = 0. To initiate the operation, the I/O port
driving LE is brought low. Each latch of the ADF4108 needs a
24-bit word. This is accomplished by writing three 8-bit bytes
from the MicroConverter to the device. When the third byte
has been written, the LE input should be brought high to
complete the transfer.

ADSP-2181 INTERFACE
Figure 22 shows the interface between the ADF4108 and the
ADSP-21xx Digital Signal Processor. The ADF4108 needs a
24-bit serial word for each latch write. The easiest way to
accomplish this using the ADSP21xx family is to use the
autobuffered transmit mode of operation with alternate
framing. This provides a means for transmitting an entire block
of serial data before an interrupt is generated. Set up the word
length for 8 bits and use three memory locations for each 24-bit
word. To program each 24-bit latch, store the three 8-bit bytes,
enable the autobuffered mode, and then write to the transmit
register of the DSP. This last operation initiates the autobuffer
transfer.
On first applying power to the ADF4108, it needs four writes
(one each to the initialization latch, function latch, R counter
latch, and N counter latch) for the output to become active.
I/O port lines on the ADuC812 are also used to control powerdown (CE input) and to detect lock (MUXOUT configured as
lock detect and polled by the port input).
When operating in the mode described, the maximum
SCLOCK rate of the ADuC812 is 4 MHz. This means that the
maximum rate at which the output frequency can be changed
will be 166 kHz.

The maximum allowable serial clock rate is 20 MHz. This
means that the maximum update rate possible for the device is
833 kHz or one update every 1.2 μs. This is certainly more than
adequate for systems that have typical lock times in hundreds of
microseconds.

PCB DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR CHIP SCALE PACKAGE
The lands on the chip scale package (CP-20) are rectangular.
The printed circuit board pad for these should be 0.1 mm
longer than the package land length and 0.05 mm wider than
the package land width. The land should be centered on the
pad. This will ensure that the solder joint size is maximized.
The bottom of the chip scale package has a central thermal pad.
Thermal vias can be used on the printed circuit board thermal
pad to improve thermal performance of the package. If vias are
used, they should be incorporated in the thermal pad at 1.2 mm
pitch grid. The via diameter should be between 0.3 mm and
0.33 mm and the via barrel should be plated with 1 oz. copper
to plug the via.
The thermal pad on the printed circuit board should be at least
as large as this exposed pad. On the printed circuit board, there
should be a clearance of at least 0.25 mm between the thermal
pad and the inner edges of the pad pattern. This will ensure that
shorting is avoided.
The user should connect the printed circuit board thermal pad
to AGND.
