Detailed Description The RF2054 is a frequency converter chip that includes a fracti onal-N phase locked loop, a low noise VCO core, an LO signal multiplexer, two LO buffer circuits, and two RF mixers. Sy nthesizer programming, device configuration, and control are achieved through a mixture of hardware and software controls . All on-chip registers are programmed through a simple three- wire serial interface. VCO The VCO core in the RF2054 consists of one VCO which covers a frequency range dependant on the value of the external inductor used. The RF2054 has been characterized with 3.3nH inductors, so the VCO covers from 940MHz to 1000MHz. Note that the VCO inductor is differential so the value given is the inductance on each device pin, and the total differential induc - tance will be twice this value. VCO3 must be selected using the PLL1x0:P1_VCOSEL and PLL2x0:P2_VCOSEL control word and setting 10 for VCO3. The VCO has 128 overlapping bands to achieve an acceptable VCO gain (MHz/V) and hence a good phase noise performance across the whole tuning range. The chip automatic ally selects the correct VCO band (VCO coarse tuning) to generate the desired fre- quency based on the values programmed into the PLL1 and P LL2 register banks. For information on how to program the desired LO frequency into the PLL1 and PLL2 banks, refer to the next section. The automatic VCO band selection is triggered every time the ENBL pin is taken high. Once the band has been selected, the PLL will lock onto the correct frequency. During the band selection process, fixed capacitance elements are prog ressively connected to the VCO resonant circuit until the VCO is oscillating at approximately the correct frequency. The output of this band selection is made available in the RB1:CT_CAL read-back register. A value of 127 or 0 in this register indica tes that the selection was unsuccessful; this is usually due to the wrong VCO being selected so the user is trying to program a frequency that is outside of th e VCO operating range. A value between one and 126 indicates a successful calibration, the actu al value being dependent on the desired frequency, as well as process variation. The band selection takes approximately 25 s with a 21MHz clock. The band select process will center the VCO tuning voltage at about 1.0V, compensating for manufact uring tolerances and process variation, as well as environ- mental factors, including temperature. For applications where th e synthesizer is always on and the LO frequency is fixed, the synthesizer will maintain lock over the whole temperature range of -20°C to +75°C. However, it is recommended to re-initiate an automatic band selection for every 30 degrees of temperature change in order to maintain optimal synthesizer perfor- mance. This assumes an active loop filter. If start-up time is a critical parameter and the user is always programming the same frequency for the PLL, the calibration result may be read back from the RB1:CT_CAL register and written to PLL1x2:P1_CT_DEF or PLL2x2:P2_CT_DEF registers (depending on the desired PLL re gister bank). The calibration function must then be disabled by setting the PLL1x0:P1_CT_EN and/or PLL2x0:P2_CT_EN control words to 0. For further information, please refer to the RF205x Calibration User Guide. The LO divide ratio is set by the PLL1x0:P1_LODIV and PLL2x0:P2_LODIV control words. The LO is routed to mixer1, mixer2, or both, depending on the state of the MODE pin and the value of CFG1:FULLD.

VCO External Inductor Selection The RF2054 VCO resonator circuit can be simplified to the schematic shown below: The following equation can be used to calculate the VCO frequency range: where C is the total differential capacitance C1, 2.5pF to 5.5pF, and L is the total differential inductance: L = L3 + L4 + 1nH = 7.6nH For L3 and L4 of 3.3nH, this equation gives total VCO frequency range of about 800MHz to 1150MHz. Some margin must be left at the top and bottom of the VCO frequency range to allow for process, assembly and environmental variations. A CT_CAL margin of 25 bits is recommended at both the top and bottom, about 0.6pF of capacitance. The VCO resonator will have the highest Q and lowest phase noise at the lower end of the coarse tuning curve. For applications where the LO frequency is fixed, or only tunes over a few MHz, it is recommended to design for CT_CAL of about 40 using C1 = 4.7pF. C1 Variable (coarse tune) capacitance plus varactor and stray capacitance. L1 and L2 Bondwire inductance of 0.5nH on each pin. L3 and L4 External inductors that form a differential inductor and provide a DC ground path to bias VCO.

The PLL includes automatic calibration systems to counteract the effects of pr ocess and environmental variatio ns, ensuring repeatable lock time and noise performance. The PLL is intended to use a reference frequency signal of 10MHz to 26MHz. The reference path features a divider, but typically for best phase noise this is bypassed. The reference divider bypass is controlled by bit CLK DIV_BYP, set low to enable the reference divider and set high for divider bypass (divide by 1). The remaining three bits CLK DIV <15:13> set the reference divider value, divide by 2 (010) to 7 (111) when the reference divider is enabled. Two PLL programming banks are provided, the first bank is prec eded by the label PLL1, and the second bank is preceded by the label PLL2. For the RF2054, these banks are used to program mixer 1 and mixer 2 respectively, and are selected automat- ically as the mixer is selected (using the MODE pin). The PLL will lock the VCO to the frequency FVCO according to: FVCO = NEFF*FOSC/R where NEFF is the programmed fractional-N divider value, F OSC is the reference input frequency, and R is the programmed R divider value (1 to 7). The N divider is a fractional divider, containing a dual-modulus prescaler and a digitally spur-compensated fractional sequence generator to allow fine frequency steps. The N divider is programmed using the N and NUM bits as follows: First determine the desired, effective N divider value, NEFF: NEFF = FVCO*R/FOSC N(9:0) should be set to the integer part of NEFF. NUM should be set to the fractional part of NEFF multiplied by 224 = 16777216. Example: VCO3 operating at 960MHz, 21MHz reference frequency, the desired effective divider value is: NEFF = FVCO *R / FOSC = 960 *1 / 21 = 45.714285714285. The N value is set to 45, equal to the integer part of N EFF, and the NUM value is set to the fractional portion of N EFF multiplied by 224: NUM = 0.714285714285 * 224 = 11983726. Converting N and NUM into binary results in the following: N = 0001 0110 1 NUM = 1011 0110 1101 1011 0110 1110 So the registers would be programmed: P1_N (or P2_N) = 0001 0110 1 P1_NUM_MSB (or P2_NUM_MSB) = 1011 0110 1101 1011 P1_NUM_LSB (or P2_NUM_LSB) = 0110 1110 The maximum NEFF is 511, and the minimum NEFF is 15, when in fractional mode.

PLL Lock Detect The lock detect function is a window detector, indicating an out of lock condition when the VCO tuning voltage is outside of a certain voltage range. When out of lock then the LOCK bit will be high, bit 1 in the read back register RB1. It is possible th at when an out of lock is indicated the PLL is still locked, but the tuning voltage has drifted outside of the window. There are two windows for the lock detector set by LD_LEV, bit 14 in register CFG1. The following are the typical tuning voltage ranges for the lock detect circuit measured with +2.2V supply voltage to the RF2054: LD_LEV = 0: 0.55V to 1.55V (narrow window) LD_LEV = 1: 0.35V to 1.75V (wide window) Phase Detector and Charge Pump The chip provides a current output to drive an external loop fi lter. An on-chip operational amplifier can be used to design an active loop filter or a passive design can be implemented. Th e maximum charge pump output current is set by the value con- tained in the P1_CP_DEF/P2_CP_DEF field and CP_LO_I. In the default state (P1_CP_DEF/P2_CP_DEF = 31 and CP_LO_I = 0) the charge pump current (ICPset) is 120A. If CP_LO_I is set to 1 this current is reduced to 30A. The charge pump current can be altered by changing the value of P1_CP_DEF/P2_CP_DEF. The charge pump current is defined as: ICP= ICPset*CP_DEF / 31 If automatic loop bandwidth correction is enabled the charge pump current is set by the calibration algorithm based upon the VCO gain. For more information on the VCO gain calibration, whic h is disabled by default, please refer to the RF205x Calibra- tion User Guide. The phase detector will operate with a maximum input frequency of 26MHz. Loop Filter The PLL may be designed to use an active or a passive loop filt er as required. The internal configuration of the chip is shown below. If the CFG1:LF_ACT bit is asserted high, the op-amp will be enabled. If the CFG1:LF_ACT bit is asserted low, the internal op-amp is disabled and a high impedance is presented to the LFILT1 pin. The RF205x Programming Tool software can assist with loop filter designs. Because the op-amp is used in an in verting configuration in active mode, when the passive loop filter mode is selected the phase-detector polarity should be inverted. For active mode, CFG1:PDP = 1, for passive mode, CFG1:PDP = 0. LFILT1 LFILT2 LFILT3 To VCO Tuning LF_ACT=TRUE+1.1V

For applications using a passive loop filter VCO coarse tuning must be performed regularly enough to ensure that the VCO tuning voltage falls within this compliance range at all temperatures. The active loop filter maintains the charge pu mp output voltage in the center of the compliance range, and the op-amp provides a wider VCO tuning voltage range, typical 0V to +2.1V. Reference Input The RF2054 requires an external reference source. The external source (such as a TCXO) should be AC-coupled into one of the XO inputs, and the other input should be AC-coupled to ground. The bias circuits in the reference path (XO) take approximately 200sec to settle, and so for applications requiring rapid pulsed operation of the PLL (such as a TDMA system, or Rx/Tx half-dup lex system) it is necessary to keep the XO running between bursts. However, when the PLL is used less frequently, it is desirable to turn off the XO to minimize current draw. The REFSTBY register is provided to allow for either mode of operation. If REFSTBY is programmed high, the XO will continue to run even when ENBL is asserted low. Thus the XO will be stable and a clock is immediately available when ENBL is asserted high, allow- ing the chip to assume normal operation. On cold start, or if REFSTBY is programmed low, the XO will need a warm-up period before it can provide a stable clock. It is recommended to program REFSTBY high at least 200 users before asserting ENBL high. Wideband Mixer The RF2054 includes two wideband, double-balanced Gilbert cell mixers. Each mixer has an input port and an output port that can be used for either IF or RF , i.e. for up conversion or down conversion. The mixer current can be programmed to between 5mA and 25mA in 5mA steps depending on linearity requirem ents, using the MIX1_IDD<3:0> word for mixer 1 and the MIX2_IDD<3:0> word for mixer 2, both of which are in the CFG2 register. The majority of the mixer current is sourced through the output pins via either a centre-tapped balun or an RF chok e in the external matching circuitry to the supply. The RF2054 has been characterized for lowest current operation, so MIX1 _IDD and MIX2_IDD set to 001. Mixer 1 of the RF2054 has been characterized for down conversion from approximately 2 GHz input to 1040MHz IF output. Mixer 2 of the RF2054 has been characterized for upconversion from IF input of 1040MHz to approximately 2GHz output. The RF mixer input and output ports are differential and require simple matching circuits optimized to the specific application frequencies. A conversion gain of approximately -3dB is achieved with 100  differential input impedance, and the outputs driving 200 differential load impedance. Increasing the mixer output load increases the conversion gain. The mixer has a broadband common gate input. The input impeda nce is dominated by the resistance set by the mixer 1/gm term, which is inversely proportional to the mixer curre nt setting. The resistance will be approximately 135  at the mixer low current setting (001). There is also some shunt capacitance at the mixer input. The mixer output is high impedance, consisting of a resistance of approximately 2k  in parallel with some capacitance. The mixer output does not need to be matched as such, just to see a resistive load. A higher resistance load will give higher output voltage and gain. A shunt inductor can be used to resonate with the mixer output capacitance at the frequency of interest. This inductor may not be required at lower frequencies where the im pedance of the output capacitance is less significant. For the RF2054 mixer 1 IF output a 33nH inductor is used (1040MHz) and for the mixer 2 RF output a 8.2nH inductor is used (2GHz). For more information about the mixer port impedances and matc hing, please refer to the RF205x Family Application Note on Matching Circuits and Baluns.

The mixers can be set up to operate in half-duplex mode (1 mixer active) or full dupl ex mode (both mixers active). The mode selection is done via hardware control of the MODE pin and by setting the FULLD bit in the CFG1 register as shown in the table below.

General Programming Information Serial Interface All on-chip registers in the RF2054 are programmed using a 3-wire serial bus which supports both write and read operations. Synthesizer programming, device configuration and control are achieved through a mixture of hardware and software controls. Certain functions and operations require the use of hardware controls via the ENBL, MODE, and RESETB pins in addition to programming via the serial bus.

support, contact RFMD at (+1) 336-678-5570 or customerservice@rfmd.com. Write Initially ENX is high and SDATA is high impedance. The write operation begins with the controller starting SCLK. On the first fall- ing edge of SCLK the baseband asserts ENX low. The second rising edge of SCLK is reserved to allow the SDI to initialize, and the third rising edge is used to define whether the operation will be a write or a read operation. In write mode the baseband will drive SDATA for the entire telegram. RF2054 will read the data bit on the rising edge of SCLK. The next 7 data bits are the register address, MSB first. This is followed by the payload of 16 data bits for a total write mod e transfer of 24 bits. Data is latched into RF2054 on the last rising edge of SCLK (after ENX is asserted high). For more information, please refer to the timing diagram on page 16. The maximum clock speed for a register write is 19.2MHz. A register write therefore takes approximately 1.3 s. The data is latched on the rising edge of the clock. The datagram consists of a single start bit followed by a ‘0’ (to indicate a write opera- tion). This is then followed by a seven bit address and a sixteen bit data word. Note that since the serial bus does not require the presence of the reference clock, it is necessary to insert an additional rising clock edge before the ENX line is set low to ensure the address/data are read correctly. Read Initially ENX is high and SDATA is high impedance. The read operation begins with the controller starting SCLK. The controller is in control of the SDATA line during the address write operation. On the first falling edge of SCLK the baseband asserts ENX low. The second rising edge of SCLK is reserved to allow the SDI to initialize, and the third rising edge is used to define whether the operation will be a write or a read operation. In read mode the baseband will drive SDATA for the address portion of the tele- gram, and then control will be ha nded over to RF2054 for the data portion. RF2054 will read the data bits of the address on the rising edge of SCLK. After the address has been written, control of the SDATA line is handed over to RF2054. One and a half clocks are reserved for turn-around, and then the data bits are presented by RF2054. The data is set up on the rising edge of SCLK, and the controller latches the data on the falling edge of SCLK. At the end of the data transmission, RF2054 will release control of the SDATA line, and the controller asserts ENX high. The SDATA port on RF2054 transitions from high impedance to low impedance on the first rising edge of the data portion of the transaction (for example, 3 rising edges after the last address bit has been read), so the controller chip should be presenting a high impedance by that time. For more information, please refer to the timing diagram on page 16. The maximum clock speed for a register read is 19.2MHz. A register read therefore takes approximately 1.4s. The address is latched on the rising edge of the clock an d the data output on the falling edge.

A 1.5 bit delay is introduced before the sixteen bit data word representing the register content is presented to the receiver. Note that since the serial bus does not require the presence of the reference clock, it is necessary to insert an additional rising clock edge before the ENX line is set low to ensure the address is read correctly. Hardware Control Three hardware control pins are provided: ENBL, MODE, and RESETB. ENBL Pin The ENBL pin has two functions: to enable the analog circuits in the chip and to trigger the VCO band selection as described in the VCO section on page 10. As outlined in the VCO section the chip has a built-in automatic VCO band selection to tune the selected VCO to the desired fre- quency. The band selection is initiated when the ENBL pin is ta ken high. Every time the frequency of the synthesizer is re-pro- grammed, the ENBL has to be inserted high to initiate the automatic VCO band selection (VCO coarse tune). RESETB Pin The RESETB pin is a hardware reset control that will reset all digital circuits to their start-up state when asserted low. The device includes a power-on-reset function, so this pin should not normally be required, in which case it should be connected to the positive supply. MODE Pin The MODE pin controls which mixer(s) an d PLL programming register bank is acti ve. See the PLL and Mixer description sec- tions for details.

Note: The set-up processes 1 to 2, 2 to 3, and 3 to 4 are explained further below. Additional information on device use and programming can be found on the RF205X family page of the RFMD web site (http://www.rfmd.com/rf205x). The following documents may be particularly helpful:

support, contact RFMD at (+1) 336-678-5570 or customerservice@rfmd.com. Start-up When starting up and following device reset then REFSTBY=0, REFSTBY should be asserted high at least 200s before ENBL is taken high. This is to allow the XO bias circuits to settle. The various calibration routines will also take some time depending on whether they are enabled or not. Coar se tuning calibration takes about 50 s and VCO tuning gain compensation takes about 100s. Additionally, time for the PLL to settle will be required. Al l of these timings will be dependant upon application specific factors such as loop filter bandwidth, reference clock frequency, and so on. The fastest turn-on and lock time will be obtained by leaving REFSTBY asserted high, disabling all calibration rout ines, minimizing all calibration times, and setting the PLL loo p bandwidth as wide as possible. The device can be reset into its initial state (default settings) at any time by performing a hard reset. This is achieved by setting the RESETB pin low for at least 100ns. Setting Up Device Operation The device offers a number of operating modes which need to be set up in the device before it will work as intended. This is achieved as follows. Three registers need to be written, taking 3.9s at the maximum clock speed. If the device is used with an active filter in sim- plex operation it will not be necessary to program CFG1 reducing the programming time to 2.6s. Set-up device operation Disable active loop filter? Default Yes LF_ACT Set to 0 Program MIX1_IDD and MIX2_IDD Set-up complete Program XO_CT, XO_CR_S and CLK_DIV Internal capacitors used to set Xtal load Mixer linearity Full duplex operation? Default Yes FULLD Set to 1 When setting up the device it is necessary to decide if an active or passive loop filter will be used in the phase locked loop. The LF_ACT bit is located in the CFG1 register and is active by default. Set the phase detector polarity bit in CFG1since the active filter inverts the loop filter voltage. The user must then activate the full duplex mode of operation if fast frequency switching is required or it is necessary to have both mixers operating simultaneously. This bit is also located in the CFG1 register and is inactive by default. The mixer linearity setting is then selected. The default value is 4 with 1 being the lowest setting and 5 the highest. The MIX1_IDD and MIX2_IDD bits are located in the CFG2 register. The internal crystal loading capacitors are also programmed to present the correct load to the crystal. The capacitance internal to the chip can be varied from 8-16pF in 0.25pF steps (default=10pF). The reference divider must also be set to determine the phase detector frequency (default=1). These bits are located in the CFG4 register.

Setting Up VCO Coarse Tuning and Loop Filter Calibration If the user wishes to disable the VCO coarse tune calibration or enable the loop filter calibration then the following program- ming operation will need to take place. Two registers need to be written taking 2.6s at maximum clock speed if the course tuning is deactivated or the loop filter cal- ibration activated. Since it is necessary to program these registers when setting the operating frequency (see next section) this operation usually carries no overhead. The coarse tune calibration takes approximately 26s when using a 21MHz reference clock (it will take proportionally longer if a slower clock is used, and vice versa). This follows a VCO warm-up period also dependent on the reference clock, typically 10s to 15s. Disable VCO coarse tune? Default Yes P1_CT_EN, P2_CT_EN Set to 00 Set calibration mode Operating mode set Enable loop filter cal? Default Yes Loop filter calibration When setting up the device it is necessary to decide whether to deactivate the devices' internal VCO calibration or provide the calibration information directly. These bits are located in the PLL1x0 and PLL2x0 registers and are active by default. It is also necessary to decide whether to activate the loop filter calibration mode, only necessary when operating the device over very wide band of frequencies. These bits are also located in the PLL1x0 and PLL2x0 registers. The default setting assumes an active loop filter is used.

support, contact RFMD at (+1) 336-678-5570 or customerservice@rfmd.com. Setting The Operating Frequency Setting the operating frequency of the device requires a number of registers to be programmed. A total of five registers must be programmed to set the device operating frequency for each path within the device. This will take 6.5s for each path at maximum clock speed. To change the frequency of the VCO it will be necessary to repeat these operations. However, it may not be necessary to repro- gram the LODIV bits reducing the register writes to three per path. For an example on how to determine the integer and fractional pa rts of the synthesizer PLL division ratio please refer to the detailed description of the PLL. Set operating frequencies Program P1_VCOSEL, P2_VCOSEL, P1_LODIV, P2_LODIV, and FLL Fact Program P1_N, P2_N Program P1_NUM_MSB, P2_NUM_MSB Program P1_NUM_LSB, P2_NUM_LSB, P1_CT_DEF, P2_CT_DEF Frequency programmed When programming the operating frequency it is necessary to select the appropriate VCO and LODIV values. The P1_VCOSEL and P1_LODIV bits are located in the PLL1x0 register and the corresponding P2 bits in the PLL2x0 register. P1_VCOSEL and P2_VCOSEL should always be set to 10 for VCO3. FLL_Fact (CFG3) should be set to 00 if N<28. The integer part of the PLL division ratio is programmed into the PLL1x3 and PLL2x3 registers according to the required synthesizer path. The MSB of the fractional part of the synthesizer PLL divider value is programmed into the PLL1x1 and PLL2x1 registers. The LSB of the fractional part of the synthesizer PLL divider value is programmed into the PLL1x2 and PLL2x2 registers together with the CT_CAL bits if fast frequency switching is required. (Depending on required frequency resolution and coarse tune settings this may not be required.)
