NJ88C50 Dual Low Power Frequency Synthesiser DS3805 - 1.8 July 1995 The NJ88C50 is a low power integrated circuit, designed as the heart of a fast locking PLL subsystem in a mobile radio application. It is manufactured on Mitel Semiconductor 1.4 micron double polysilicon CMOS process, which ensures that low power and low noise performance is achieved. The device contains two synthesisers, one for the generation of VHF signals up to 125MHz and a second for UHF (when used with a mulitmodulus prescaler such as the SP8713/14/15). The main synthesiser has the capability of driving a dual speed loop filter and also can perform Fractional-N interpolation. Both synthesisers use current source outputs from their phase detectors to minimise external components. Various sections may be powered down for battery economy.

Reference divider The reference divider is used to provide the reference signals needed for both the main and auxiliary synthesiser phase detectors. The divider allows for a twelve bit number to be loaded, via the serial bus, to select the required division ratio. Division ratios of 3 to 4095 can be used. The reference divider input stage will accept a low level, AC coupled, sinewave input. It is anticipated that in most systems this will be provided by a stable reference source up to 35MHz, and so encompasses all the common TCXO (temperature controlled crystal oscillator) frequencies, such as 9.6, 12.8, 13.0, 19.44 and 26MHz. A standby mode is supported so that the reference divider can be powered down, this is achieved using two of the serial program control bits. To reduce the possibility of unwanted interaction between the main and auxiliary synthesisers, the charge pumps do not take current at the same time. To achieve this the output of the reference divider has a duty factor of approximately 50:50, which then allows the Q and QBAR taps to be used for the auxiliary and main synthesisers respectively. By doing this the current pulses can be taken alternatively, minimising modulation of the power supply rails as current is drawn. The reference divider consists of a 12 bit programmable divider followed by a 4 bit binary counter. This 4 bit counter gives a choice of divide by M, 2M, 4M or 8M. A pair of programmable control bits are used to determine which of the divide by M, 2M, 4M or 8M outputs is supplied to the auxiliary synthesiser’s phase detector and a further pair of control bits are used to determine which are supplied to the main synthesiser’s phase detector. Auxiliary synthesiser The auxiliary synthesiser operates over an input frequency range from 1 to 125MHz, without the use of an external prescaler. The synthesiser consists of a 12 bit N divider and a digital phase comparator with current source outputs. The reference frequency is supplied by the shared reference divider. Current source outputs allow a passive loop filter to be used. When the auxiliary synthesiser is not in use, a standby mode is supported so that power consumption is reduced. This is achieved using one of the serial program control bits. The divider is programmed with a 12 bit word allowing division ratios of 3 to 4095 to be used. The auxiliary phase detector consists of the 2 D-type phase and frequency detector shown in Figure.3 below, the high and low outputs of which drive on-chip, opposing complementary charge pumps. This type of phase detector design eliminates non linearity or deadband around the zero phase error (locked) condition. The charge pump output current level is set by an external resistor on the RSA pin (pin 9) up to a limit of 250µA +/-10%. A pull up current pulse will indicate that the VCO frequency must be increased, whilst a pull down pulse indicates that the frequency must be decreased. Fig.3 Auxiliary phase detector Main Synthesiser The main synthesiser is capable of operating at frequencies up to 30MHz. The synthesiser uses the 12 bit reference divider, shared with the auxiliary synthesiser, a 12 bit up/down N divider and a digital phase comparator with current source outputs. The device also has a number of features which increase the design flexibility and performance of the synthesiser. These include fractional-N operation, speed up mode and support of 2, 3 and 4 modulus prescalers. A description of the operation and advantages of each of these features is given. The main N divider input buffer will accept inputs from an external prescaler, either as balanced (2 wire) ECL levels at frequencies up to 30MHz, or DC coupled to a single ended prescaler output. Single ended operation requires the other buffer input (pin 3) to be externally biased to the correct slicing voltage for the prescaler and also externally decoupled. If the inputs are in the form of balanced ECL levels, there must not be a skew of greater than 2ns between one input changing and the second input changing. The relationship of the signals is shown below in Fig.4. Fig.4 Maximum input skew 3 NJ88C50 The main N divider is programmable so that it can determine how many cycles of each division ratio the external prescaler will perform. The total division ratio of the output from the system VCO to the synthesiser's phase detector may be expressed as NTOT and R1, R2, R3 and R4 are the available prescaler ratios and N1, N2, N3 and N4 are the corresponding number of cycles for each ratio selected, within one complete division cycle. The divider is programmed via the serial data bus and the values needed to be programmed for each of the possible prescaler ratios are as follows:In 2 modulus mode (division ratios R1, R2) NTOT = N1.R1 + N2.R2 Programmed values needed: N1 - a 12 bit value giving the number of times R1 is to be used N2 - a 8 bit value giving the number of times R2 is to be used In 3 modulus mode (division ratios R1, R2, R3) NTOT = N1.R1 + N2.R2 + N3.R3 Programmed values needed: N1 - a 12 bit value giving the number of times R1 is to be used N2 - a 4 bit value giving the number of times R2 is to be used N2+N3 - a 4 bit value where N3 is the number of times R3 is to be used and (N2+N3) is modulo-16 addition In 4 modulus mode (division ratios R1, R2, R3, R4) NTOT = N1.R1 + N2.R2 + N3.R3 + N4.R4 Programmed values needed: N1 - a 12 bit value giving the number of times R1 is to be used N2 - a 4 bit value giving the number of times R2 is to be used N2+N3 - a 4 bit value where N3 is the number of times R3 is to be used. N2+N3+N4 - a 4 bit value where N4 is the number of times R4 is to be used. (N2+N3) and (N2+N3+N4) are modulo-16 addition. To facilitate the use of multimodulus prescalers the N divider is based upon a twelve bit up/down counter which functions as follows The first value, N1, is loaded into the counter which then counts down from N1 to zero. During this time, the modulus ratio R1 is selected. When the counter reaches zero modulus R2 is selected and the counter then counts up to the N2 value. If 2 modulus operation is chosen, the counter is then reloaded with N1 and the count is repeated. For operation with 3 or 4 modulus devices, the counter continues to count up once it has reached the N2 value. The count continues to the N2+N3 value and during this time the R3 ratio is selected. In the 3 modulus case, when the N2+N3 value is reached the counter is then reloaded with the N1 value and the modulus ratio R1 is selected. For 4 modulus operation the counter will continue its count up to the N2+N3+N4 value before reloading the N1 value. During this time the R4 modulus is selected. If N2, N3, or N4 are set to zero this will give a full count of 16 for the corresponding modulus. The N divider block also has a special control line from the Fractional-N logic. When required this control will cause the total division ratio to be increased from N to N+1. This is achieved by forcing a cycle which would have normally used a prescaler ratio R1 to use ratio R2 instead. R1 and R2 are chosen so that R2 equals R1+1. Further explanation of the operation of the synthesiser when using 2, 3 or 4 modulus prescaler is given in the section on multimodulus division (page 8). The phase detector used on the main synthesiser is similar to the type used on the auxiliary synthesiser (Figure.3). In this case, however, the detector will drive two pairs of complimentary charge pumps, one of which is intended to drive the loop integrator capacitor to provide integral control, whilst the other provides proportional control for the VCO. This system is shown in Fig 5, and has applications where fast locking of the loop is required. Fig.5 Loop filter using both charge pumps MODES OF OPERATION Normal Mode The synthesiser will operate in normal mode while the strobe line of the serial data bus is low. In this mode the following current levels are produced. The charge pump providing the proportional feedback term will have a normal current level designated by Iprop(0), that is set by an external bias resistor, RSM. Iprop(0) will vary when different N-divider ratios are programmed, so that it is proportional to the total division ratio. To avoid the necessity of computing the total division ratio on chip, an eight bit number representing the most significant bits of Ntot will be loaded via the serial data bus. Iprop(0) is therefore given by Iprop(0) = CN.Ibo where CN is the loaded eight bit number and the value Ibo is scaled from the external current setting resistor RSM where Ibo = Irsm/32. Typically Ibo = 1µA ,and therefore Iprop(0) will have a maximum value equal to 255µA. 4 NJ88C50 The normal value of Iprop, Iprop(0), is obtained while the strobe line of the serial programming bus is held low. In this condition, the second charge pump providing the integral feedback term is inactive. Speed up Mode In speed up mode the loop bandwith during switching is increased to allow faster initial frequency acquisition. This is done by using the dual phase detector outputs (PDP and PDI) connected to a standard passive loop filter as shown in fig.5. The effect of this is to increase the loop gain and hence the bandwidth while maintaining a constant phase margin when switching between speed up mode and normal mode. The synthesiser operates in speed up mode when the strobe line goes high loading either word A or word A2 (see programming section Page 8-Page 9) and it will stay in this mode until the strobe line goes low. In this mode the following current levels are produced. The charge pump providing the proportional feedback will increase its current from Iprop(0) to a value Iprop(1), where Iprop(1) = 2L+1 .Iprop(0) where L is a two bit number loaded as part of the serial programming data. Iprop(1) will therefore be 2, 4, 8 or 16 times Iprop(0). The charge pump supplying Iprop is specified up to a value of 1mA. Also when the strobe line goes high loading word A or word A2, the charge pump providing the integral feedback term becomes active at a current level Iint given by Iint = K.Iprop(1) where K is a four bit number loaded as part of the serial programming data. Although Iint can be programmed to be 240 times greater than Iprop(0), the charge pump supplying Iint is only specified up to a value of 10mA. For all charge pumps, a pull-up current indicates the VCO frequency should be increased while a pull-down current indicates the VCO frequency should be decreased. For the proportional and integral charge pumps, the selected pulse current levels will remain substantially constant over the charge pumps output voltage ranges tabulated in the electric characteristics. “Substantially constant” means that the current will not have changed by more than 10% of the value measured at 2.5 volts on the output . ratio. Using fractional-N the value of N is alternated between N and N+1 in order to simulate a fractional part. For example 9000.375 would be simulated by alternating between 9000 and 9001 in the pattern 9000, 9000, 9001, 9000, 9000, 9001, 9000, 9001 (mean value of 9000.375). On the NJ88C50 the fractional-N circuit consists of an accumulator which can be set to overflow at a value of 5 or 8 (FMOD in programming word D, see page 9). The value in the accumulator, A, is incremented once every comparison cycle of the main phase detector and every time the accumulator overflows the total division ratio of the synthesiser and prescaler is increased from N to N+1. To obtain the pattern described above N=9000 and FMOD would be set to mod8 and the incremental value, NF(programmed in word A) would be set to 3. The accumulator would then behave as shown below. Increment Value 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 Accumulator Value 3 6 1 4 7 2 5 0 Total Division Ratio 9000 9000 9001 9000 9000 9001 9000 9001 Varying NF allows different fractions to be obtained. If NF=1 and FMOD=8 the accumulator would overflow once in every 8 cycles giving a value of 9000.125. Similarly if NF=4 the accumulator overflows every other cycle giving 9000.5. For a given step size this increase in resolution means a higher comparison frequency at the phase detector, and therefore a lower overall division ratio. For example, with a step size = 200kHz and carrier frequency = 900MHz Non fractional-N synthesiser Comparison frequency=200kHz Division ratio=900MHz=4500 200kHz Fractional-N synthesiser (using 5ths) Comparison frequency=1MHz Division ratio=900MHz=900 1MHz In most applications the phase noise is proportional to the overall division ratio. Therefore fractional-N gives lower phase noise. This higher comparison frequency and lower phase noise allows circuits to be built with wider loop bandwidths while keeping the same stability. This means that phase locked loops (PLLs) can be made to either switch faster for a given phase noise or be quieter for a given switching speed, compared to conventional designs. FRACTIONAL-N OPERATION Conventional, non fractional-N synthesisers have a frequency resolution or step size equal to the phase detector comparison frequency. Fractional-N refers to a technique which allows finer frequency steps to be obtained. The synthesised frequency with a conventional synthesiser is equal to N times the phase detector comparison frequency, where N is the programmable integer loop divide 5 NJ88C50 However the alternation between the N and N+1 values causes a ripple in the output frequency. This ripple is not desirable in radio frequency synthesisers. This ripple or jitter waveform is predictable from the pattern of N and N+1 values and so can be cancelled. The instantaneous accumulator value, A, is proportional to the cumulative frequency error caused by ignoring the fractional part during the periods of the divide by N. The accumulator value, A, may therefore be used to generate a waveform corresponding to the jitter waveform, that is then used to cancel the jitter out of the phase detector. This jitter compensation current pulse is equal to A.Icomp where Icomp represents the step size as A is incremented. Corresponding to the two alternative values of Iprop, Iprop(0) and Iprop(1), Icomp will take the values Icomp(0) and Icomp(1). Icomp is always pull-up, and the magnitude of its steps for perfect jitter compensation are related to the value of Iprop by the factors 0 , 1/Q.Ntot , 2/Q.Ntot , 3/Q.Ntot ........ Q-1/Q.Ntot where Q = accumulator modulus in use (5 or 8) Since Iprop(0) = CN.Ibo and CN is an approximation to Ntot apart from a scaling factor, the value of Icomp(0) required becomes independent of Ntot and its steps are 0 , 1/Q , 2/Q , 3/Q ........ Q-1/Q times Ibo.(scaling factor) where scaling factor = Max. value of CN to be used Corresponding max. value of Ntot therefore Ico = 1 x CN(max) Q Ntot(max) Icomp(0) = A.Ico x Ibo Typically Ntot(max) might be 10000, with CN(max)=250 and Q=8, so the current step will be of magnitude Ibo/320. Since Ibo is only 1 uA, this is a very small value; however this value only applies if Icomp is a continuous current. Icomp however will be a short current pulse coincident with the Iprop pulse, in order to cancel jitter components over the widest possible frequency range. When the duty factor of Icomp is taken into account, its pulse value may be increased accordingly. Icomp is therefore generated as a pulse of fixed width equal to two periods of the input reference clock frequency, with a timing that straddles the active edge of the reference divider output pulse supplied to the main phase detector, as shown below: (Fig 6). Since the duty factor of Icomp is 2/M and depends on the value of M programmed, it is possible to set the peak pulse value of Icomp(0) by means of the external current setting resistor RSC to correspond with the value of M intended, the value of ‘scaling factor’ defined above, the accumulator modulus Q and the value of Ibo set by the other current setting resistor. therefore Ico = 1 x Nmax x M x Ibo Q Ntot(max) 2 This gives a typical value for Ico of 0.1µA. The two values of Icomp, Icomp(0) and Icomp(1) are related by Icomp(1) = 2L+1 .Icomp(0) Icomp(0) occuring when the strobe line is low and Icomp(1) occuring when the strobe line is high loading either WORDA or WORDA2 (see programming section, page 8 and 9) . Corresponding to the pull-up pulse Icomp(1) that is added to the proportional charge pump pulse Iprop(1), there is also a pull-up current pulse Icomp2 which is added to the integral charge pump pulse Iint. This pulse Icomp2 only applies when the stobe line is high (loading either WORDA or WORDA2). When the strobe line is low there will be no Iint or Icomp2 pulses. The value of Icomp2 is given by Icomp2 = Icomp(1).K where K is a four bit number entered as part of the serial programming data. and where Ico is scaled from the external current setting resistor RSC. Ico = Irsc/128. 6 Fig.6 NJ88C50 MULTIMODULUS DIVISION The NJ88C50 supports the use of 2, 3 and 4 modulus prescalers. Two modulus prescalers such as the SP8714/15 are commonly used in PLLs. Additional information on using 2 modulus prescalers can be found in application note AN132 in the GEC Plessey Semiconductors Personal Communications handbook (May 1992). When using a 2 modulus prescaler (R/R+1) the minimum division ratio above which all channels can be synthesised is given by Minimum division ratio = R(R-1) eg. for a 64/65 prescaler such as the SP8714/15 Minimum division ratio = 64(64-1) = 4032 When fractional-N operation is being used higher comparison frequencies are used, which are obtained by using lower division ratios. Use of a 3 or 4 modulus prescaler allows the minimum division ratio to be lowered. For a 3 modulus prescaler (R/R+1/R+A) Minimum division ratio = R(R+A+1)+A A eg. for a 64/65/72 prescaler such as the SP8713 Minimum division ratio = 64(64+8+1)+8 = 1096 8 For a 4 modulus prescaler (R/R+1/R+A/R+B) Minimum division ratio = R(A+B+R+1)+A+B AB eg. for a 64/65/68/80 prescaler Minimum division ratio = 64(4+16+64+1)+4+16 = 852 4 16 An example of where three modulus division would be implemented is given below. The system in which the synthesiser is to operate has a lowest carrier frequency of 900MHz and a channel spacing of 30kHz. However due to the lock up time requirements fractional-N operation is being used in its 8ths mode (see section on fractional-N operation), giving a comparison frequency of 30kHz x 8 = 240kHz. Therefore, Minimum division ratio required = 900x106 = 3750 240x103 If a 64/65 prescaler is used not all the channels will be selectable as the minimum required division ratio is less than the minimum allowable division ratio (4032). If a 64/65/72 prescaler is used all the channels will now be selectable as the minimum required division ratio will now be greater than the minimum allowable division ratio (1096). SERIAL DATA BUS The data needed to program the synthesiser is entered via a high speed (10MBit/s) 3-wire bus, with serial data, serial clock and strobe pins. The input data is partitioned so that after initial programming the output frequency can be changed by re-programming only 24 or 32 bits.The timing diagram for the bus is given in Fig.7. The data is programmed as either four twenty-four bit words or three twenty-four bit words and one thirty-two bit word. When initially programmed words A, B, C and D are loaded, though if the auxiliary synthesiser is disabled C is not needed. Following the initial programming the frequency can be subsequently shifted in one of the following ways: a) If a 2 or 3 ratio prescaler is being used and CN does not need to be reprogrammed word A should be loaded. b If a 2 or 3 ratio prescaler is being used and CN does need to be reprogrammed word A2 should be loaded. In wide frequency band systems CN must be reprogrammed for best performance every time the frequency is changed. c) If a four ratio prescaler is being used word A and word B should be loaded Data must be valid on positive edges of clock Fig.7 A strobe pulse occurs at the end of each word and loads the contents of the input shift register into the working registers, except when word B is being loaded, in which case the shift register contents are loaded into a temporary register and then loaded into the working register when either word A or A2 is loaded. The information is transferred on the rising edge of the strobe pulse which should occur one half clock period after the clock edge on which the MSB of a word is shifted in. If word A or word A2 is being loaded, when the strobe goes high the main synthesiser will be put into speed-up mode. This mode will be maintained while the strobe remains high. During this time any pulses on the clock input will not affect the function of the synthesiser. 7 NJ88C50 The information contained within each word is given below. Data bits are shifted in on the leading clock edge, with the least significant bit(LSB) of the word first and the MSB of the word last. (Note that individual sections of data within a word are loaded with the MSB of that section first. An example of this is given after this description of Word A) Word Format MSB...........................................LSB Word A |0| NF | N1 |N2 or N2 and N2+N3| |3 bits| 12 bits | 8 bits | NF = Fractional-N incremental value.

The current set on pin RSA will be scaled up on chip by a factor of 3 to give the value of the auxiliary phase detector output. 2. The current set on pin RSM will be scaled down on chip by a factor of 32 to provide the current Ibo to the main phase detector which gives the outputs Iprop and Iint. 3. The current set on pin RSC will be scaled down on chip by a factor of 128 to provide the current Ico to the main phase detector which gives the outputs Icomp and Icomp 2. 4. The voltage on each of the three current setting pins (RSA, RSM, RSC) is approximately 4V. Therefore to give a typical current of 32µA on RSM for example, a 125kΩ resistor connected between the pin and GND would be required. 10 NJ88C50 DYNAMIC Vdd = 5V ± 10%, Tamb = -40 to +85°C Output signals Parameter Modulus control - MOD1 MOD2 Output voltage high Output voltage low Modulus output truth table MOD2 0 0 1 1 MOD1 1 0 0 1 Prescaler modulus R1 R2 R3 R4 Min Typ Max Unit Condition Push-Pull output IOH = 0.5mA IOL = 0.5mA Vdd-0.4 0 Vdd 0.4 V V DYNAMIC Vdd = 5V, Tamb = -40 to +85°C Output signals - Auxiliary synthesiser Parameter Output signal - PDA Up current - See Note 5 Down current - See Note 5 Tristate Min Typ Max Unit Condition -10% -10% Ipda Ipda +10% +10% 10 µA µA nA 0
