Hardware and software power-down mode
The ADF4107 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 PLL (phase-locked loop) can be implemented
if the synthesizer is used with an external loop filter and VCO
(voltage controlled oscillator). Its very high bandwidth means
that frequency doublers can be eliminated in many high
frequency systems, simplifying system architecture and
reducing cost.

so, 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 18.
Input to the RF Prescaler. This small signal input is ac-coupled to the external VCO.
Analog Power Supply. This voltage may range from 2.7 V to 3.3 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 17. 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 two 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 2.7 V to 3.3 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 V, it can be set to 5
V and used to drive a VCO with a tuning range of up to 5 V.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Reference Input Stage
The Reference Input stage is shown in Figure 17. 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.

synchronous 4/5 core. A minimum divide ratio is possible for
fully 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
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:
SW3
Figure 17. Reference Input Stage
fVCO = [(P × B ) + A ]×
RF Input Stage
The RF input stage is shown in Figure 18. It is followed by a
2-stage limiting amplifier to generate the CML clock levels
needed for the prescaler.

Figure 19. A and B Counters
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
R Counter
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.

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 20 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 23.

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.

MUXOUT and Lock Detect
The output multiplexer on the ADF4107 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 25 shows the full truth table. Figure 21 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 ADF4107 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 two 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 22 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.

Fastlock Mode Bit
Function Latch
The on-chip function latch is programmed with C2 and C1 set
to 1 and 0, respectively. Figure 25 shows the input data format
for programming the function latch.
DB10 of the function latch is the fastlock mode bit. When
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
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).
Fastlock Mode 1
Power-Down
Fastlock Mode 2
DB3 (PD1) and DB21 (PD2) provide programmable powerdown modes. They are enabled by the CE pin.
The charge pump current is switched to the contents of Current
Setting 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 25 for the timeout
periods.
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.
MUXOUT Control
The on-chip multiplexer is controlled by M3, M2, M1 on the
ADF4107. Figure 25 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.
The charge pump current is switched to the contents of Current
Setting 2.
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.
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 (i.e., 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 25.
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 that the user wishes to

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
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 25.
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.
PD Polarity
Initialization Latch Method
Apply VDD.
Program the initialization latch (11 in two LSBs of input word).
Make sure that the F1 bit is programmed to 0.
Next, do a function latch load (10 in two LSBs of the control
word), making sure that the F1 bit is programmed to a 0.
Then do an R load (00 in two LSBs).
Then do an AB load (01 in two LSBs).
When the Initialization Latch is loaded, the following occurs:
1.
2.
3.
This bit sets the phase detector polarity bit. See Figure 25.
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.
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.
CE Pin Method
Apply VDD.
Bring CE low to put the device into power-down. This is an
asychronous power-down in that it happens immediately.
Program the function latch (10).
Program the R counter latch (00).
Program the AB counter latch (01).
Bring CE high to take the device out of power-down. The R and
AB counters will now resume counting in close alignment.
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 in order 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
Apply VDD.
Do a Function Latch Load (10 in two LSBs). As part of this,
load 1 to the F1 bit. This enables the counter reset.
Do an R counter load (00 in two LSBs).
Do an AB counter load (01 in two LSBs).
Do a Function latch load (10 in two 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.

ADF4107
APPLICATIONS
Other PLL system specifications are:
Local Oscillator for LMDS Base Station
Transmitter
KD = 5.0 mA
KV = 80 MHz/V
Loop Bandwidth = 70 kHz
FPFD = 1 MHz
N = 6300
Extra Reference Spur Attenuation = 10 dB
Figure 27 below shows the ADF4107 being used with a VCO to
produce the LO for an LMDS base station.
The reference input signal is applied to the circuit at FREFIN
and, in this case, is terminated in 50 Ω. A typical base station
system would have either a TCXO or an OCXO driving the
reference input without any 50 Ω termination.
All of these specifications are needed and used to derive the
loop filter component values shown in Figure 27.
To have a channel spacing of 1 MHz at the output, the 10 MHz
reference input must be divided by 10, using the on-chip
reference divider of the ADF4107.
Figure 27 gives a typical phase noise performance of
−83 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz offset from the carrier. Spurs are better
than −70 dBc.
The charge pump output of the ADF4107 (Pin 2) drives the
loop filter. In calculating the loop filter component values, a
number of items need to be considered. In this example, the
loop filter was designed so that the overall phase margin for the
system would be 45°.
The loop filter output drives the VCO, which, in turn, is fed
back to the RF input of the PLL synthesizer and also drives the
RF output terminal. A T-circuit configuration provides 50 Ω
matching between the VCO output, the RF output, and the RFIN
terminal of the synthesizer.
In a PLL system, it is important to know when the system is in
lock. In Figure 27, this is accomplished by using the MUXOUT
signal from the synthesizer. The MUXOUT pin can be
programmed to monitor various internal signals in the
synthesizer. One of these is the LD or lock detect signal.

ADF4107
ADSP2181 Interface
Interfacing
The ADF4107 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 will get transferred to the appropriate latch. See Figure 2
for the timing diagram and Table 5 for the Latch truth table.
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.
Figure 29 shows the interface between the ADF4107 and the
ADSP21xx Digital Signal Processor. The ADF4107 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.
ADuC812 Interface
SCLK
Figure 28 shows the interface between the ADF4107 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 ADF4107 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.
On first applying power to the ADF4107, 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.

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.
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.
Thermal vias may 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 user should connect the printed circuit board thermal pad
to AGND.
