Note 4: For other RF frequency ranges, please contact National Semiconductor Corporation.
Note 5: When the Cellular-CDMA mode is used, an external /2 circuit is required before the Cellular mixer LO port. Furthermore, if an external /1.5 circuit is available
before the GPS mixer LO port, the GPS frequency of 1391.82 MHz can be achieved by using a fixed RF frequency of 2087.73 MHz.
Note 6: Lock time is defined as the time difference between the beginning of the frequency transition and the point at which the frequency remains within +/- 1 kHz
of the final frequency. tLOCK = tFINAL − tINITIAL.
Note 7: For frequencies other than the default values, the SPI_DEF bit should be set to 0 and registers R4 and R5 programmed appropriately. Refer to Section

LMX2542 is a highly integrated, high performance, low
power, frequency synthesizer system optimized for CellularCDMA 1xRTT and IS-95 mobile handsets and data systems
with GPS capabilities. Using a proprietary digital phase
locked loop technique, LMX2542 generates very stable, low
noise local oscillator (LO) signals for up and down conversion in wireless communications devices.
RF_B :

RF_FN :
Preset numerator of the RF PLL
binary 11-bit modulus counter
(0 ≤ RF_FN < 1920 for fOSCin =
19.20 MHz)
LMX2542 includes a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) for
the Cellular-CDMA and GPS frequency bands, a loop filter,
and a Fractional-N RF PLL based on a ∆Σ modulator which
supports frequency resolutions as low as 5 kHz. In concert,
these blocks form a closed loop RF synthesizer system. The
RF synthesizer system operates from 2087.73 MHz to
2155.14 MHz. The need for external components is limited
to a few passive elements for matching the RF output impedance, and bypass elements for power line stabilization.
The Fractional-N RF PLL (∆Σ modulator architecture) delivers low spurious thus providing a significant improvement
over other PLL solutions. In addition, the Fractional-N RF
PLL facilitates faster lock times, which reduces power consumption and system set-up time. Furthermore, the RF loop
filter occupies a much smaller area as opposed to the
Integer-N architecture. This allows the RF loop filter to be
embedded into the circuit, thus minimizing the external noise
coupling.
LMX2542 includes an Integer-N IF PLL also. For more flexible loop filter designs, the IF PLL includes a 4-level programmable charge pump. Together with an external VCO
and loop filter, LMX2542 makes a complete closed loop IF
synthesizer system. The default IF frequency is 367.20 MHz.
The circuit also supports commonly used reference oscillator
frequencies of 19.20 MHz and 19.68 MHz.
(0 ≤ RF_FN < 1968 for fOSCin =
19.68 MHz)
Note: When the FREQ_OFF bit is set to 1, frequencies with
5 kHz resolution can be generated. In the same way outlined
above, the divide ratio for the desired frequency less 5 kHz
should be programmed. When the FREQ_OFF bit (R1[2]) is
set to 1, the programmed frequency will be shifted by +5 kHz
in order to achieve the desired frequency. Refer to Section
2.3.1 for details on how to program the FREQ_OFF bit.
1.1.2 IF Frequency Selection
The IF synthesizer divide ratio can be calculated using the
following equation:
20082409
where:
IF_A < IF_B
1.1 FREQUENCY GENERATION

(0 ≤ IF_A ≤ 15)

1.2 VCO FREQUENCY TUNING
The center frequency of the RF VCO is determined mainly
by the resonant frequency of the tank circuit. This tank circuit
is implemented on-chip and requires no external inductor.
LMX2542 actively tunes the tank circuit to the required frequency with the built-in tracking algorithm.
1.3 POWER CONTROL
LMX2542 includes a powerdown mode to reduce the power
consumption. LMX2542 can be powered down when the CE
pin is set LOW, independent of the state of the powerdown
bits. When CE is set HIGH, powerdown is controlled through
the MICROWIRE. The RF and IF circuitries are individually
powered down by setting the RF_EN (R1[3]) and IF_EN
(R2[2]) bits LOW respectively. Refer to Section 2.3.2 and
Section 2.4.1 for details on how to program the RF_EN and
IF_EN bits.

1.4 RF DIGITAL FILTERED LOCK DETECT
for 4 consecutive PFD comparison cycles, the RF PLL enters
a locked state and the LD output is then forced HIGH. Once
the phase error becomes greater than 10 ns (∆t > tW) the RF
PLL falls out of lock and the LD is forced LOW (∼GND). The
phase error in Figure 2 is measured on the leading edge. If
the phase difference between the two inputs to the PFD is
equal to 10 ns (∆t = tW), then the LD output becomes
unpredictable. Refer to Section 2.2.4 for further details on
how to program the digital filtered lock detect.
Note: fR is the PFD input from the reference oscillator and fN
is the PFD input from the programmable feedback divider (N
counter).
A digital filtered lock detect status genrated from the RF
phase frequency detector (PFD) is available on the LD pin
(Pin 19) when the RF_LD bit (R0[21]) is set to 1. The LD
output is therefore used to indicate the lock status of the RF
synthesizer system. Furthermore, the LD output can be
forced to GND at all times when the RF_LD bit is set to 0.
When used as a lock detect output, the two inputs to the
PFD, fN and fR, are first divided by 64. The lock detect digital
filter then compares the difference between the phases of
the inputs to the PFD to an RC generated delay of approximately 10 ns. This delay is represented by tW in Figure 1 and
Figure 2 below. If the phase error is less than 10 ns (∆t < tW)

1.5 MICROWIRE SERIAL INTERFACE
The programmable register set is accessed via the MICROWIRE serial interface. The interface comprises three
signal pins: CLK, DATA, and LE. Serial data is clocked into
the 24-bit shift register on the rising edge of CLK. The least
significant bits decode the internal control register address.
www.national.com
When LE transitions from LOW to HIGH, DATA stored in the
shift registers is loaded into one of six control registers. The
MSB of DATA is loaded in first. The synthesizers can be
programmed even in power down mode. A complete programming description is provided in Section 2.0.
14
LMX2542
2.0 Programming Description
2.1 MICROWIRE INTERFACE
The MICROWIRE Serial Port Interface (SPI) has a 24-bit shift register to store the incoming DATA bits temporarily. The incoming
DATA is loaded into the shift register from MSB to LSB. The data is shifted at the rising edge of the CLK signal. When the LE
signal transitions from LOW to HIGH, the DATA stored in the shift register is transferred to the proper register depending on the
state of the ADDRESS bits. The selection of the particular register is determined by the address bits equal to the binary
representation of the number of the control register.
At start-up, the 24-bit shift register is loaded via the MICROWIRE interface. The loading requires 3 default words, with register
R2 loaded first, and R0 loaded last. Once loaded, the RF VCO frequency can then be changed by only programming register R0
appropriately. If an IF frequency other than the default value is desired, the SPI_DEF bit should be set to 0, and registers R4 and
R5 programmed appropriately.
2.1.1 Control Register Content Map
The control register content map describes how the bits within each control register are allocated to specific control functions. The
bits that are marked 0 should be programmed as such to ensure proper device operation.

2.2.1 RF_FN[10:0] - RF Synthesizer Fractional Numerator Counter (R0[2:12])
The RF_FN control word is used to setup the 11-bit ∆Σ modulator. This corresponds to programming the fractional numerator
counter portion of the RF feedback divider. The value programmed is dependent on the reference oscillator used.
2.2.1.1 Programming RF_FN[10:0] Using 19.20 MHz Reference Oscillator
When a 19.20 MHz reference oscillator is used (OSC_FREQ bit = 0), the RF_FN can be programmed to values ranging from 0
to 1919.
