PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
PE3293
Product Description
The PE3293 is a dual fractional-N phase-lock loop (PLL) IC designed for frequency synthesis and fabricated on Peregrine’s patented UTSi® CMOS process. Each PLL includes a prescaler, phase detector, charge pump and on-board fractional spur compensation. The patented spur compensation circuitry designed into the device ensures superior spur performance over the full temperature and VCO tuning range. The PE3293 provides fractional-N division with power-oftwo denominator values up to 32. This allows comparison frequencies up to 32 times the channel spacing, providing a lower phase noise floor than integer PLLs. The 32/33 RF prescaler (PLL1) operates up to 1.8 GHz and the 16/17 IF prescaler (PLL2) operates up to 550 MHz. Applications • Triple mode,dual-band PCS / Cellular handset • PCS/CDMA/Cellular handsets • PCS/CDMA/Cellular base stations Figure 1. Block Diagram

PE3293 Description The PE3293 is intended for such applications as the local oscillator for the RF and first IF of dualconversion transceivers. The RF PLL (PLL1) includes a 32/33 prescaler with a 1.8 GHz maximum frequency of operation, where the IF PLL (PLL2) incorporates a 16/17 prescaler with a 550 MHz maximum frequency of operation. Using an advanced fractional-N phase-locked loop technique, the PE3293 can generate a stable, very low phase- noise signal. The dual fractional architecture allows fine resolution in both PLLs, with no degradation in phase noise performance. Data is transferred into the PE3293 via a threewire interface (Data, Clock, LE). Supply voltage can range from 2.7 to 3.3 volts for VDD. PE3293 features very low power consumption and is available in a JEDEC MO-153-AC (TSSOP), 20pin package and 24-lead BCC package.
Spurious Response A critical parameter for synthesizer designs is spurious output. Spurs occur at the integer multiples of the step size away from center tone. An important feature of fractional synthesizers is their ability to reduce these spurious sidebands. The PE3293 has a built-in method for reducing these spurs, with no external components or tuning required. In addition, this circuitry works over the full commercial temperature and VCO tuning range.

When handling this UTSi device, observe the same precautions that you would use with other ESDsensitive devices. Although this device contains circuitry to protect it from damage due to ESD, precautions should be taken to avoid exceeding the rating specified in Table 5.

PE3293
Product Specification
Functional Description The Functional Block Diagram in Figure 5 shows a 21-bit serial control register, a multiplexed output, and PLL sections PLL1 and PLL2. Each PLL contains a fractional-N main counter chain, a reference counter, a phase detector, and an internal charge pump with on-chip fractional spur compensation. Each fractional-N main counter chain includes an internal dual modulus prescaler, supporting counters, and a fractional accumulator. Serial input data is clocked on the rising edge of Clock, MSB first. The last two bits are the address bits that determine the register address. Data is transferred into the counters as shown in Table 8, PE3293 Register Set. If the foLD pin is configured as data out, then the contents of shift register bit S20 are clocked on the falling edge of Clock onto the foLD pin. This feature allows the PE3293 and compatible devices to be connected in a daisychain configuration. The PLL1 (RF) VCO frequency fin1 is related to the reference frequency fr by the following equation: fin1 = [(32 x M1) + A1 + (F1/32)] x (fr/R1) (1) Note that A1 must be less than or equal to M1. Also, fin1 must be greater than or equal to 1024 x (fr/R1) to obtain contiguous channels. The PLL2 (IF) VCO frequency fin2 is related to the reference frequency fr by the following equation: fin2 = [(16 x M2) + A2 + (F2/32)] x (fr/R2) (2) Note that A2 must be less than or equal to M2. Also, fin2 must be greater than or equal to 256 x (fr / R2) to obtain contiguous channels. F1 sets PLL1 fractionality. If F1 is an even number, the PE3293 automatically reduces the fraction. For example, if F1 = 12, then the fraction 12/32 is automatically reduced to 3/8. In this way, fractional denominators of 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 are available. F2 sets the fractionality for PLL2 in the same manner.
