The RF input path is rated to operate nominally from DC to 7 GHz. The DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER RF input stage is a differential common emitter stage with DC coupling, and is protected by ESD diodes as shown in Figure 20. RF input is not matched to 50 Ω due to wide input frequency range. At low frequencies, a simple shunt 50 Ω resistor can be used external to the package to provide a 50 Ω match. For better performance it is recommended to match the RF inputs externally and provide differential drive from the VCO. In most applications the input is used single-ended into either the VCOIP or VCOIN pin with the other input connected to ground through a DC blocking capacitor. The preferred input level for best spectral performance is -10 dBm. Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

RF Input Stage RF Path Fractional-N Divider The RF input buffer is followed by a high frequency prescaler and a multi modulus divider. The divider has been designed for the best output phase noise and spurious performance in both fractional and integer mode. The fractional-N divider can divide input frequencies from 32 to 220 -1 (1048575) in integer mode and from 36 to 220 -5 (1048571) in fractional-N mode. The divider output pulse width depends on the RF input period and is adjustable via SPI setting (refer to Duty Cycle Setting in register Reg 00h Chip ID, Soft Reset, Read Register[14:12]). The output pulse width recommended setting is 40% to 60% where possible. At low output frequencies it may not be possible to set 50% duty cycle. In such cases the maximum pulse width setting is recommended. Figure 21. Divider Path Divider Output Buffer The divider output is differential and the output buffer stage is an open collector amplifier with off-chip pull-up resistors. Due to sharp rise and fall times at the divider output, the external path should be designed differentially using RF techniques. When DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER and AND FREQUENCY SWEEPER are operating together as a frequency synthesizer, 50 Ω pull-up resistors are provided in AND FREQUENCY SWEEPER. VPPBUF pin should be connected to 5 V power supply. This pin does not sink DC current and is only used to bias the internal ESD diodes and to provide an appropriate voltage level for the phase detector chip (AND FREQUENCY SWEEPER). The two possible interface configurations are shown in Figure 22 and Figure 23 below. The rising edge of the HMC983LP5E divider output divCkPFDp and falling edge of divCkPFDn are conditioned and resynchronized for best spectral performance. The alternative edges are not This means for best spectral performance the HMC983LP5E must be used with a PFD, not an analog mixer. 13 Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

Divider Interface with AND FREQUENCY SWEEPER Frequency Dividers & Detectors - SMT DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER AND FREQUENCY SWEEPER Chip Address Pins The DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER has three SPI chip address pins (SPI address [2:0] = ‘CHIP3, CHIP2, CHIP1’), which enable multiple DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER devices to use the same SPI bus. SPI chip address bits are read at power up, or every time DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER is reset. By default, all three pins are internally pulled to DVDD, thus there is no need to connect the pins to DVDD to set them to logic high. To assign a ‘0’ to any chip address bit, the corresponding pin should be connected to ground. When used on the same SPI bus together with the companion part (the AND FREQUENCY SWEEPER), to form a frequency synthesizer, some SPI commands, such as changing the reference division ratio to the AND FREQUENCY SWEEPER may also require an action by the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER. In order to avoid the necessity to write two separate SPI transfers to implement one command (one to configure AND FREQUENCY SWEEPER, and the other one to configure the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER), it is possible to write the SPI address of the companion part (AND FREQUENCY SWEEPER) into Reg 09h of the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER. In such cases, the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER is able to recognize an SPI command to the companion part (the AND FREQUENCY SWEEPER) that requires its own action, and act accordingly to update its own corresponding Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

Writing DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER’s own chip address to the companion chip address register Reg 09h will disable this feature. Saturation Detection Input Pins DNSAT, UPSAT When the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER is operating with its companion chip the AND FREQUENCY SWEEPER as a frequency synthesizer, it automatically detects large phase errors and tries to tune the VCO faster by using its algorithm for cycle-slip prevention (CSP). The UPSAT and DNSAT provide indication which frequency is higher (VCO or Reference) from the counterpart Phase Detector/Charge Pump (the AND FREQUENCY SWEEPER). The CSP algorithm manipulates the RF Divider and the Phase Detector at appropriate intervals to lock faster. See AND FREQUENCY SWEEPER data sheet for more details. These pins should be connected to ground if not used. REF_Eno Pin REF_Eno pin is a digital output pin that is used by the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER to request crystal oscillator clock from the Phase Detector / Charge Pump chip (the AND FREQUENCY SWEEPER). The crystal oscillator clock is multiplexed on the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER’s DNSAT pin. The internal frequency divider, programmed in Reg 02h, is used to generate the actual reference frequency present at the phase detector. The imported clock is only used to communicate through the AUXSPI. At all other times, the clock and the local reference dividers are turned off. In stand-alone applications, if the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER is required to communicate through the auxiliary SPI, the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER will expect to receive the auxiliary SPI clock on DNSAT pin. Setting Reg 04h[15] = 1 keeps the auxiliary SPI clock enabled on the DNSAT pin. Multi Purpose Digital IO Pins D0, D1, D2, D3, D4 (GPIO Pins) The five general purpose digital input/outputs can be used for various modes of operation as well as test/debugging purposes. GPIO pins are enabled by writing Reg 01h[4] = 1 (GPIO master enable). Setting Reg 01h[4] = 0 places the GPIO pins in tri-state high impedance mode. GPIO pins are configured in Reg 08h[13:0]. All of the pins can configured to be either inputs or outputs by writing to Reg 08h[13:9]. In frequency sweep mode, pin D4 can be used as an external trigger pin, by writing Reg 08h[13] = 0. Writing to Reg 08h[3:0] selects DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER’s internal signals to be multiplexed out on the GPIO pins, as shown in Table 5. Signals include: 1. The output of the Delta-Sigma Modulator Reg 08h[3:0] = ‘0010’b. 2. GPIO test signals Reg 08h[3:0] = ‘0000’b, which outputs data written to Reg 08h[8:4] to test the GPIO pins. 3. Sweep status flags, when the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER is configured to be in sweep mode Reg 08h[3:0] = ‘1000’b. Table 5.

The DSM’s size can be configured to 16/24/32/48 bits (Reg 16h[5:0]). DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER’s auto-seed mode allows coherent frequency sweeps. The DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER with its counterpart (the AND FREQUENCY SWEEPER), together with an external VCO comprise a fully functional fractional-N synthesizer. In that case, the output frequency of the external VCO is given by: f f fvco = xtal ⋅ Nint + xtal L ⋅ Nfrac =fint + ffrac R R⋅2 (Eq 1) When the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER is being used as frequency divider, the output frequency is given by; fout = Nint fvco N + frac 2L (Eq 2) Where f vco is the VCO frequency in Hz; fxtal is the crystal oscillator frequency in Hz; Nint is the integer part of frequency division ratio (set in Reg 05h[19:0]); Nfrac is the fractional part of frequency division ratio (Nfrac[47:18] = Reg 06h[29:0], Nfrac[17:0] = Reg 07h[17:0]) R is the reference frequency division ratio; L is the size of the DSM accumulators (set in Reg 16h[5:0]) Frequency Dividers & Detectors - SMT Reg 08h[3:0] Example 1: Calculate the VCO frequency with the following parameters; fxtal = 50 MHz; fpfd = 25 MHz Nint = 25; Nfrac = 1; L = 24 Where fPFD is the frequency at the phase detector, thus R = 2.

Frequency Dividers & Detectors - SMT = fvco Example 2: Set the VCO frequency to 4600.025 MHz using 100 MHz Crystal, R = 2 and L = 16. Compare if L = 32. For this example the fPFD = 100 MHz/2 = 50 MHz, The overall division ratio is 4600.025 MHz/50 MHz = 92.0005 The nearest integer would be 92, thus Nint = Reg 05h[19:0] = 92d = 5Ch. For L = 16, Nfrac = 32.768 or 33d rounded up. Thus Nfrac = 33d or 21h (Reg 06h[29:0] = 0, Reg 07h[17:0] = 21h). For L = 32, Nfrac = 2147483.648 or 2147484d rounded up. Thus Nfrac = 20C49Ch (Reg 06h[29:0] = 8h, Reg 07h[17:0] = ‘001100010010011100‘d). Since Nfrac must be an integer, the actual frequencies in the two cases will have an error of + 177.02 Hz for L = 16 and only +0.004098 Hz for L = 32. Phase Noise in Integer and Fractional Modes In a normal integer frequency divider the in-band phase noise is scaled from the input phase noise by 20Log10(N), where N is the divider value. In HMC983LP5E fractional mode, the frequency divider is modulated by the Delta Sigma Modulator to generate output frequencies that are fractional multiple of the input frequency. Delta Sigma Modulator shapes the quantization noise such that quantization noise density has a high pass shape which peaks at Fs/2, where Fs is the sampling frequency (the divider output frequency in case of HMC983LP5E). In fractional mode this quantization noise peak appears at an offset frequency of Fout/2. In the PLL, this peak is attenuated by the loop filter. However, when the HMC983LP5E is used stand-alone in fractional mode its output will exhibit the quantization noise as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3. As a result, it is not possible to achieve the same noise floor in fractional mode as in integer mode without further filtering. CW Frequency Sweeper The DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER features a built-in frequency sweeper function that supports automatic or externally triggered sweeps. External triggering can be executed via an external trigger pin D4 or the SPI interface. DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER sweep function can be configured to operate in the following modes: • • 2-Way sweep mode • Repeating alternating positive and negative frequency sweep ramps • Frequency increments swept with automatic sequencer • Automatic or triggered • Symmetric or asymmetric (the positive ramp can have a different slope from that of the negative ramp) 1-Way Sweep Mode • Repeating one directional frequency sweeps followed by a reset to the starting frequency • Frequency increments swept with automatic sequencer • Triggered User defined sweep mode 17 • Manually programmed user defined sweep patterns • Triggered • Symmetric or asymmetric (the positive ramp can have a different slope from that of the negative ramp) Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

The DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER generates a frequency sweep by implementing automatic, or triggered in User Defined Mode, discrete miniature frequency increments in time. A smooth and continuous sweep is then generated, at the output of the VCO, after the stepped signal is filtered by the loop filter, as shown in Figure 24. The stepped sweep approach enables the frequency synthesizer (comprising of DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER together with its counterpart, the HMC984LP4E) to be in lock for the entire duration of the sweep. This approach results in a number of advantages over conventional methods including: • The ability to generate a linear sweep. • The ability to have phase coherence between different sweep ramps, so that the phase profile of each sweep is identical. • The ability to generate user defined sweeps in User Defined Sweep Mode. Figure 24. DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER Sweep Function It is important to note that the synthesized ramp is subject to normal phase locked loop dynamics. If the loop bandwidth in use is much wider than the rate of frequency increments then the locking will be fast and the ramp will have a staircase shape. If the update rate is higher than the loop bandwidth, as is normally the case, the loop will not fully settle before a new frequency step is received. Hence the swept output will have a lag and will sweep in a near continuous fashion. Frequency Dividers & Detectors - SMT In all sweep modes, the starting sweep direction can be set to positive (increasing) or negative (decreasing). The trigger can be applied instantaneously or delayed by a programmable time delay. In all sweep modes, ramp_busy flag indicates an active sweep and will stay high between the 1st and nth ramp increment. ramp_busy may be monitored on pin D1 by setting Reg 08h[3:0] = 8h. Triggering In sweep mode, the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER can be triggered via one of two methods • SPI trigger by setting Reg 0Eh[12]=1. This triggering method is asynchronous to the reference clock. To enable SPI trigger write Reg 0Eh[13] = 0. • or applying an external trigger on pin D4. Setting Reg 0Eh[13] = 1 and Reg 08h[13] = 0h configures DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER’s pin D4 as external trigger input. External trigger on pin D4 is triggered on the rising edge of the trigger. GPIO master enable (Reg 01h[4] = 1) is also required. Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

Writing Reg 05h[20:0] = 1 for example ensures that the trigger is applied at the instant of the rising edge of the next reference rising edge. To disable trigger delay write Reg 0Eh [7] = 0. 2-Way Sweep Mode DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER’s 2-Way sweep mode is shown in Figure 25. The 2-Way sweep mode can be automatic or triggered. In automatic 2-way sweep, the trigger is generated internally based on user defined 2-way sweep mode configuration. In a triggered 2-way sweep, frequency ramps are triggered either by external pin D4, or SPI trigger. Figure 25. DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER 2-Way Triggered Sweep Triggered 1-Way Sweeps DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER’s 1-Way sweeps is shown in Figure 26. Unlike 2-Way sweeps, 1-Way sweeps require that the VCO hop back to the start frequency after the dwell period. Triggered 1-Way sweeps also require a 3rd trigger to start the new sweep. The 3rd trigger must be timed appropriately to allow the VCO to settle after the large frequency hop back to the start frequency. Subsequent odd numbered triggers will start each sweep and repeat the process. Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

User Defined Sweep Mode In User Defined Sweep mode, the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER is able to generate various user-defined sweep patterns by adjusting the time interval between adjacent frequency increments, which are executed by trigger events.

In case of symmetric and UP sweeps, stepsize[47:18] = Reg 12h[29:0], stepsize[17:0] = Reg 13h[17:0]). In case of asymmetric sweeps, (downsweep stepsize[47:18] = Reg 12h[29:0], down sweep stepsize[17:0] = Reg 13h[17:0]) ∆fstep Frequency step size = stepsize ⋅ fxtal 2L ⋅ R , L Size of the DSM (set in Reg 16h[5:0]) Tref Period of the divided reference (fPFD) at the phase detector. Tref = R fxtal N Total number of frequency step increments in a single sweep. N [47:18] = Reg 14h[29:0], N[17:0] = Reg 15h[17:0] Tramp Total time of one frequency sweep from fo to ff. Tramp = Tref x N Then final frequency ff is given by: ff = fo + (∆fstep x N) Setting autoseed (Reg 0Eh[8] = 1) ensures that different sweeps have identical phase profile. This is achieved by loading the seed (seed[47:18] = Reg 0Ah[29:0], seed[17:0] = Reg 0Bh[17:0]) into the phase accumulator at the beginning of each ramp. Example: Calculate sweep parameters for an asymmetric 2-Way sweep from f0 = 3000 MHz to ff = 3105 MHz with positive Tramp ≈ 2 ms, and negative Tramp ≈ 4 ms, and positive dwell time = negative dwell time = 2 µs, with fPD = 50 MHz, and a 48-bit delta-sigma modulator size. Assuming R = 1. 1. Calculate the integer and fractional divider values for initial start frequency f0 • Start Nint = Reg 05h = 60d • Start Nfrac = Reg 06h = Reg 07h = 0d 2. Calculate the number of divided (R = 1) reference periods in the sweep = number of frequency increments N • Nup = 2 ms/(1/50 MHz) = 100000 • Ndown = 4 ms/(1/50 MHz) = 200000 3. Calculate stepsize (size of frequency increments) • stepssize up = abs(ff - f0)/Nup = abs(3000 MHz - 3105 MHz)/100000 = 1050 Hz. Then as per Table 6, Reg 12h[29:0] = 0h, Reg 13h[17:0] = 1050d = 41Ah • stepsize down = abs(ff - f0)/Ndown = abs(3000 MHz - 3105 MHz)/200000 = 525 Hz Then as per Table 6, Reg 19h[29:0] = 0h, Reg 1Ah[17:0] = 1050d = 41Ah Note that it is possible to have a case where the frequency ff cannot be generated exactly. In that case it is required to approximate the final frequency to ff = fo + (∆fstep x N) ≈ desired final frequency. 4. Calculate number of divided (R = 1) reference periods in required dwell time • Up dwell time (Reg 10h[29:0], Reg 11h[17:0]) = down dwell time (Reg 06h[29:0], Reg 07h[17:0]) = dwell time/ (1/ 50 MHz) = 2 µs/(1/50 MHz) = 100. Then as per Table 6, Reg 10h[29:0] = Reg 06h[29:0] = 0h, and Reg 11h[17:0] = Reg 07h[17:0] = 100d = 64h. Then proceed to configure the sweep according to the steps outlined in Table 6. Serial Port Interface The DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER features a four wire serial port for simple communication with the host controller. Typical serial port operation can be run with SCK at speeds up to 30 MHz. The details of SPI access for the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER is provided in the following sections. Note that the READ operation below is always preceded by a WRITE operation to Register 0 to define the register to be queried. Also note that every READ cycle is also a WRITE cycle in that data sent to the SPI while reading the data will also be stored by the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER when SENb goes high. If this is not desired then it is suggested to write to Register 0 during the READ operation so that the status of the device will be unaffected. 23 Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

POR is accomplished when power is cycled for the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER while SR is accomplished via the SPI by writing Reg 00h = 80h, followed by writing Reg 00h =00h. All chip registers will be reset to default states approximately 250 us after power up. Serial Port WRITE Operation The host changes the data on the falling edge of SCK and the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER reads the data on the rising edge. A typical WRITE cycle is shown in Figure 28. It is 40 clock cycles long. 1. The host both asserts SENb (active low Serial Port Enable) and places the MSB of the data on SDI followed by a rising edge on SCK. 2. DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER reads SDI (the MSB) on the 1st rising edge of SCK after SENb. 3. DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER registers the data bits, D29:D0, in the next 29 rising edges of SCK (total of 30 data bits). 4. Host places the 5 register address bits, A6:A0, on the next 7 falling edges of SCK (MSB to LSB) while the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER reads the address bits on the corresponding rising edge of SCK. 5. Host places the 3 chip address bits, CA2:CA0=[110], on the next 3 falling edges of SCK (MSB to LSB). Note the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER chip address is fixed as “7d” or “111b”. 6. SENb goes from low to high after the 40th rising edge of SCK. This completes the WRITE cycle. 7. DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER also exports data back on the SDO line. For details see the section on READ operation. Serial Port READ Operation The SPI can read from the internal registers in the chip. The data is available on SDO pin. This pin itself is tri-stated when the device is not being addressed. However when the device is active and has been addressed by the SPI master, the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER controls the SDO pin and exports data on this pin during the next SPI cycle. DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER changes the data to the host on the rising edge of SCK and the host reads the data from DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER on the falling edge. A typical READ cycle is shown in Figure 28. Read cycle is 40 clock cycles long. To specifically read a register, the address of that register must be written to dedicated Reg 0h. This requires two full cycles, one to write the required address, and a 2nd to retrieve the data. A read cycle can then be initiated as follows; Frequency Dividers & Detectors - SMT Power on Reset and Soft Reset 1. The host asserts SENb (active low Serial Port Enable) followed by a rising edge SCK. 2. DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER reads SDI (the MSB) on the 1st rising edge of SCK after SENb. 3. DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER registers the data bits in the next 29 rising edges of SCK (total of 30 data bits). The LSBs of the data bits represent the address of the register that is intended to be read. 4. Host places the 7 register address bits on the next7 falling edges of SCK (MSB to LSB) while the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER reads the address bits on the corresponding rising edge of SCK. For a read operation this is “0000000”. 5. Host places the 3 chip address bits [111] on the next 3 falling edges of SCK (MSB to LSB). 6. SENb goes from low to high after the 40th rising edge of SCK. This completes the first portion of the READ cycle. 7. The host asserts SENb (active low Serial Port Enable) followed by a rising edge SCK.

DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER places the 30 data bits, 7 address bits, and 3 chip id bits, on the SDO, on each rising edge of the SCK, commencing with the first rising edge beginning with MSB. 9. The host de-asserts SENb (i.e. sets SENb high) after reading the 40 bits from the SDO output. The 40 bits consists of 30 data bits, 7 address bits, and the 3 chip id bits. This completes the read cycle. Note that the data sent to the DC - 7 GHz FRACTIONAL-N DIVIDER SPI during this portion of the READ operation is stored in the SPI when SENb is de-asserted. It is recommended that during the second phase of the READ operation that Reg 00h is addressed with either the same address or the address of another register to be read during the next cycle.
