P0 ZL10037 1.0 Circuit Description 1.1 Functional Description Data Sheet The ZL10037 is a single chip wide band direct conversion tuner with integral RF bypass optimised for digital satellite receiver systems. It provides excellent signal handling capability in the presence of high composite signal levels. The device offers a highly integrated solution for a satellite tuner incorporating a low phase noise PLL frequency synthesizer, the quadrature down converter, a fully integrated local oscillator, and programmable baseband channel filters. A minimal number of additional peripheral components are required. The crystal reference source can be also used as the reference for the demodulator. An I2C compatible bus interface controls all of the tuner functionality. The ZL10037 contains both hardware and software power down modes. 1.2 1.2.1 Signal Path RF Input The tuner RF input signal at a frequency of 950 – 2150 MHz is fed to the ZL10037 RF input pre-amplifier stage. The signal handling is designed such that no tracking filter is required to offer immunity to input signal composite overload. The RF input amplifier feeds an AGC stage, which provides RF gain control. There is additional gain adjustment in the baseband section. The total AGC gain range will guarantee an operating dynamic range of –92 to –10 dBm. The RF AGC in the ZL10037 is divided into two stages. The first stage is a continually variable gain control stage, and provides the main system AGC set under control of the analogue AGC signal generated by the demodulator section. The second stage is a programmable gain stage to reduce RF gain by 10 dB. This would normally be used when an external LNA is being used to improve system sensitivity. The analogue RF AGC is optimised for S/N and S/I performance across the full dynamic range. Typical RF AGC characteristic and variation of IIP3, IIP2 and NF are shown in Section 8 - Typical Performance Curves. The output of the AGC stage is coupled to the quadrature mixer where the RF signal is mixed with quadrature local oscillator signals generated by the on-board local oscillator. 1.2.2 Baseband The outputs of the quadrature down converter are passed through the baseband filters followed by a programmable baseband gain stage. The baseband paths are DC coupled. An integrated DC correction loop prevents saturation due to local oscillator self-mixing in the converter section. No external components are required for dc correction. The baseband filters are 5th order Chebychev and provide excellent matching in both amplitude and phase between the I and Q channels. The filters are fully programmable for 3 dB bandwidths from 6 MHz to 43 MHz. The recommended filter bandwidth is related to the required symbol rate by the following equation. − 3dBFilterBandwidth fc = SymbolRate × 1.35 2 × 0.8 This equation makes no allowance for LNB tuning offset at low symbol rates < 10 MS/s. 5 Zarlink Semiconductor Inc. ZL10037 Data Sheet The baseband filter uses an automatic tuning algorithm to calibrate the filter bandwidth to the programmed requirement. This removes any variation due to operating conditions and process variations. The automatic tuning algorithm uses a frequency locked loop, which locks the filter bandwidth to a reference frequency derived from the crystal reference input frequency. Further details are provided in the programming section. The filters are followed by a programmable gain stage. This provides twelve 1.5 dB gain steps. These can be used for optimising performance at different symbol rates and for adjusting the output level in applications not using ZL10313. The differential outputs of each channel stage are designed for low impedance drive capability and low intermodulation. 1.2.3 RF Bypass The ZL10037 provides a single ended bypass function, which can be used for driving a second receiver module. The electrical characteristics of the RF input are unchanged whether the RF bypass is enabled or disabled. The RF Bypass powers up in the enabled state and can also operate with the remainder of the device in power down modes. 1.3 1.3.1 Local Oscillator Generation On Chip VCO The local oscillator on the ZL10037 is fully integrated. It consists of three independently selectable oscillator stages with sub bands. The three oscillators and sub-bands are designed to provide optimum phase noise performance over the required tuning range of 950 to 2150 MHz, over operating conditions and process variations. The local oscillators operate at a harmonic of the required local oscillator frequency and are divided down to the required LO frequency. The required divider ratio is automatically selected by the local oscillator control logic. The oscillators are fully controlled by an on-chip automatic tuning algorithm. The user simply programs the required LO frequency. The control logic automatically selects the required VCO and sub band to give optimum performance. VCO settling time is minimized as different tuning algorithms are used, depending on the magnitude of the LO frequency change required. This choice of algorithm is also automatic and does not require user intervention. The oscillator control logic tracks any changes in operating conditions and will retune the VCO if necessary, however hysteresis is built into this function to avoid unnecessary switching. All oscillator components are included on the chip including the VCO varactor. An external loop filter is required as part of the PLL frequency synthesizer. 1.3.2 PLL Frequency Synthesizer The fully integrated PLL frequency synthesizer section controls the LO frequency. The only external requirements are crystal reference and simple second order loop filter. The PLL can be operated up to comparison frequencies of 2 MHz enabling a wide loop bandwidth for maximizing the close in phase noise performance. The local oscillator input signal is multiplexed from the active oscillator to an internal preamplifier, which provides gain and reverse isolation from the divider signals. The output of the preamplifier provides the input to a 15-bit fully programmable divider with MN+A architecture incorporating a dual modulus 16/17 prescaler. The output of the programmable divider is fed to the phase comparator where it is compared in both phase and frequency domain with the comparison frequency. This frequency is derived either from the on-board crystal controlled oscillator or from an external reference source. In both cases the reference frequency is divided down to the comparison frequency by the reference divider, which is programmable into 1 of 15 ratios. 6 Zarlink Semiconductor Inc. ZL10037 Data Sheet The output of the phase detector feeds a charge pump which combined with an external loop filter integrates the current pulses to control the varactor voltage. The charge pump current is automatically varied by the VCO control logic to compensate for VCO gain variations that are dependent on selected sub band. The varactor control voltage is externally coupled to the oscillator section through the input pin Vvar. 1.4 I2C Interface All programming for the ZL10037 is controlled by an I2C data bus and is compatible with 3V3 standard mode formats. Data and Clock are fed in on the SDA and SCL lines respectively as defined by I2C bus format. The device can either accept data (write mode), or send data (read mode). The LSB of the address byte (R/W) sets the device into write mode if it is logic ‘0’, and read mode if it is logic ‘1’. The I2C address is fixed at C0 (Write)/C1(Read) in hex format. The ZL10037 contains 16 control registers. These registers are read/write registers. These registers are addressed as sub-addresses on the I2C bus. Registers can be addressed as random access single write/read or random access sequential write and read as shown below. Random Access Single Write Stop Start Device W A Address Register Address N A Register Data N A A Register Data N A Stop Random Access Sequential Write Stop Start Device W A Address Register Address N Register Data N+1 ...

Register Data N+M N Stop A SLEEP pin is provided. This powers down all sections of the chip including the crystal oscillator and I2C interface. The RF bypass function will be operational in this mode providing it has been previously enabled through the I2C interface. 7 Zarlink Semiconductor Inc. ZL10037 2.0 Data Sheet Register Map and Programming The register map is arranged as 16 byte-wide read/write registers grouped by functional block. The registers may be written to and read-back from either sequentially (for lowest overhead) or specifically (for maximum flexibility). A significant number of bits are used for test and evaluation purposes only and are fixed at logic ‘0’ or ‘1’. The correct programming for these test bits is shown in the table below. It is essential that these values are programmed for correct operation. When the contents of the registers are read back the value of some bits may have changed from their programmed value. This is due to the internal automatic control which can update registers. Any changes can be ignored. Read only bits are marked with an asterisk (*). Any data written to these bits will be ignored. Registers are set to default settings on applying power. These conditions are shown below and in the applicable tables.

ZL10037 2.1 Data Sheet PLL Registers There are four registers that control the PLL: Bit Field Name Default Type 7 PLF - R 6:0 2[14:8] 0 R/W Description PLL Lock Flag MSB bits of LO Divider register Table 3 - Register 0 The PLF bit is the PLL lock detect circuit output. The PLF bit is set after 64 consecutive comparison cycles in lock. A chip-wide reset initializes the lock detect output to 0. The 2[14:8] bits are the MSB bits of the LO Divider divide value. Bit Field Name Default Type Description 7:0 2[7:0] 0 R/W LSB bits of LO Divider register Table 4 - Register 1 The 2[7:0] bits are the LSB bits of the LO Divider divide value. The division ratio of the LO divider is fully programmable to integer values within the range of 240 to 32767. Note that when the LO Divider divide value is to be changed, the new value is not actually presented to the LO Divider until all of the 15-bit control word 2[14:0] has been programmed. Register 0 and 1 must be therefore be programmed (in any order) before the LO divider is updated even if the only data change is in one of the registers.

C[1] C[0] Typ Units 0 0 400 uA 0 1 550 uA 1 0 750 uA 1 1 1000 uA Table 6 - Charge Pump Currents The charge pump current is automatically increased to the next setting dependent on the VCO sub band that has been selected by the VCO tuning algorithm. This is to compensate for changes in VCO gain and so provide consistent PLL performance across all sub bands. Programming the highest charge pump value will not allow the value to be incremented, therefore this value should not be programmed. The value read back for the charge pump current is the actual value in use for the selected sub band. 9 Zarlink Semiconductor Inc. ZL10037 Data Sheet The R[3:0] bits select the Reference Divider divide ratio. The ratio selected is not a simple binary power-of-two value but through a lookup table, see Table 7- PLL Reference Divider Ratios.

ZL10037 Data Sheet The LEN bit enables the RFBYPASS output. With this bit set, the RF Bypass is active even if ‘software’ or ‘hardware’ power down has been selected. The RFG bit controls the gain of the second section of RF gain control. With this bit set, the RF gain is reduced by 10dB. This setting would normally used when an external LNA is being used. 2.3 Base Band Registers There are three registers that control the Base Band: Bit Field Name Default Type 7:0 BF[7:0] 0X3C R/W Description Base Band Filter Cut-Off Frequency Table 10 - Register 5 The bits BF[7:0] control the bandwidth of the baseband filter. An automatic adjustment routine synchronizes the filter bandwidth to a reference frequency derived from the crystal. Bit Field Name Default Type Description 7 - 0 R/W Test Mode 6 LF 0 R/W Baseband Filter Adjust Disable 5 SF 0 R/W Baseband Filter Adjust Disable 4:0 BR[4:0] 1000 R/W Base Band Reference Division Ratio Table 11 - Register 6 The LF and SF bits disable the baseband filter adjustment. It is recommended that these bits are set after programming the filter bandwidth to prevent interactions within the circuit. These bits must be reset to enable the baseband filter bandwidth to be reprogrammed. The BR[4:0] bits set the crystal reference divide ratio. This effectively determines the resolution setting of the baseband filters. The baseband filter settings (BF[7:0]) can be calculated from the following equation. BF[7 : 0] = (Filter bandwidth (MHz) * 5.088 * BR[4 : 0]) −1 CrystalFrequency (MHz) See Section 3 Applications Information, for a typical programming example.

The control bits BG[3:0] define the gain of the Base Band post-filter amplifier. The following table shows the gain note this is relative gain. The 1.5 dB gain steps enable the baseband output level to be adjusted and optimise gain distribution for different symbol rates. 11 Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.

When this bit is set to 1, all the analogue blocks are powered down with the exception of the Crystal Oscillator. The I2C interface will remain active and can still be used to enable the RF Bypass. Setting the SLEEP input pin high also invokes ‘software’ power down with the addition of powering down the Crystal Oscillator to produce ‘hardware’ power down. The RF Bypass will remain active if it has been previously programmed on the I2C bus. Note that in ‘hardware’ power down, the I2C interface does not operate. The CLR bit re-triggers the power-on-reset function. This resets all register values to their power-on reset default value. The CLR bit is itself cleared. Note that the chip-wide reset will reset the I2C Interface and the current write sequence used to set this bit will not be acknowledged.

ZL10037 3.0 Applications Information Figure 4 - Typical Application with ZL10313 Demodulator 15 Zarlink Semiconductor Inc. Data Sheet ZL10037 Data Sheet Figure 4 shows a typical application using a ZL10313 as a demodulator. This is available as a reference design (ZLE10542) from Zarlink Semiconductor. The design uses a standard two layer board. All components are mounted on the upper surface with the lower surface as a ground plane. The RF input requires a coupling capacitor and series inductor for optimum matching. The RF bypass output requires a coupling capacitor. Good decoupling should be used - these components should be mounted as close to the device as practicable. All ground contact to the ZL10037 is to the ground ‘paddle’ on the underside of the package. This must be soldered fully to the board to achieve best thermal and electrical contact. It is recommended that an array of vias (4 x 4) is used to achieve good contact to the ground plane underneath the device A common crystal reference can be used for the tuner and demodulator. The crystal oscillator capacitors are optimised for a 10.111 MHz reference. Sensitivity is optimised by minimizing interaction from digital signal activity in the demodulator. This is achieved by filtering in the agc control, and filter networks in the baseband I and Q signals between the demodulator and ZL10037. These networks should be mounted as close to the ZL10037 as possible. The typical performance from the reference design is shown in the table below: Parameter Typ.

ZL10037 The bandwidth of the baseband filter is given by the following expression: fbw = fxtal x (BF + 1) BR x 5.088 Equation 1 where: fbw = the filter bandwidth in MHz within the range 8 MHz to 43 MHz. fxtal = crystal oscillator frequency in MHz. BR = decimal value of the bits BR[4:0], range 1-31. (BR = 0 is not allowed) BF = decimal value of the register bits BF[7:0], range 0 - 255. The above equation can be re-arranged as follows BR BF = fbw x 5.088 x −1 fxtal Equation 2 It is recommended that BR should be set so that fxtal BR is approximately 1 MHz This sets the bandwidth resolution to approximately 200kHz The value of BF can now be calculated from Equation 2 and rounded to the nearest integer: Example Conditions: fxtal = 10.111 MHz, fbw = 26.5 MHz Choose BR = 10 BF = 26.5 x 5.088 x 10 − 1 = 132.35 10.111 BF = 132 The actual filter bandwidth is therefore given by: fbw = 1 10.111 x (132 + 1) x = 26.43 MHz 5.088 10 17 Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
