NJ88C33

NJ88C33 Frequency Synthesiser (I2C BUS Programmable) Advance Information DS2429 - 3.2 September 1994 The NJ88C33 is a synthesiser circuit fabricated on Mitel Semiconductor's 1.4 micron CMOS process, assuring very high performance. It is I2C compatible and can also be programmed at up to 5MHz. It contains a 16-bit R counter, a 12-bit N counter and a 7-bit A counter. A digital phase comparator gives improved loop stability with current source outputs to reduce loop components. A voltage doubler is provided for the loop driver to improve control voltage range to the VCO when operating at low supply voltages.

Reference frequency input from an accurate source, normally a crystal oscillator. The input is normally an AC coupled sinewave but may be a DC coupled square wave. Single/dual modulus operating mode selection input. Single modulus operation is selected by driving the pin low. 'High' selects dual modulus mode. I2C bus data input pin. It is also an open-drain output for generating I2C bus acknowledge pulses. I2C bus clock input. It can be clocked at up to 5MHz. Output control pin, which can be programmed via the I2C bus. It can be connected to the S/D pin to select single or dual modulus mode under bus control. Modulus control pin. It is high in single modulus mode but switches in dual modulus operation. In dual modulus mode, MOD remains low during operation of the A counter until A=0; MOD then remains high until N=0, when both counters are reloaded. It can be programmed via the I2C bus as an open-drain or push-pull output. Frequency input from a VCO or prescaler. The input is normally an AC coupled sinewave but may be a DC coupled square wave. Dedicated ground for the FI input buffer. It should be connected to the VCO ground or the prescaler ground, if used. Any noise on this pin will affect the performance of the VCO loop. Open-drain output from the N counter. Ground supply pin (global). Tristate current output from the phase detector. The polarity of the output can be programmed via the I2C bus. Voltage doubler output. The operation of the doubler can be controlled via the I2C bus. In applications where the voltage doubler is switched off, this pin should be connected to GND1; a reservior capacitor should be connected from this pin to GND1 for applications where it is switched on. Open-drain lock detect output - requires integration if used.

When status bit 4 is set high the positive polarity mode of the output PD is selected. When fc leads f VN the PD output goes high; when fVN ieads fc it goes low. Similarly, selecting the negative polarity mode of PD by programming bit 4 of the status register low causes PD to have the inverse polarity. The loop filter integrates the current pulses to produce a voltage drive to the VCO. No pulses are produced when locked. The lock detect output, LD, produces a logic ‘0’ pulse equal to the phase difference between fC and fVN. When the phase difference between fc and fVN is too small to be resolved by the phase detector then no current pulses are produced. In this region the loop does not reduce the close-in noise on the VCO output. This can be overcome using a very high value resistor to leak a few nanoAmps of current from the filter and keep the loop on the edge of the region. Fig. 5 Phase comparator phase diagram PROGRAMMING Transmission Protocol I2C programming messages consist of an address byte followed by a sub-address byte followed by 1, 2 or 3 bytes of data. Bit 7 of the address byte must match the setting of the S/D pin for the address to be recognised. This allows for separate addressing of two NJ88C33 synthesisers on the same bus. The sub-address should be set to select the correct registers to be programmed and should be followed by the appropriate number of data bytes. Registers are not programmed until the complete message protocol has been checked. Each message should commence with a START condition and end with a STOP condition unless followed immediately by another transfer, when the STOP condition may be omitted. Data is transferred from the shift register to the latches on a STOP condition or by a second START condition. A START condition is indicated by a falling edge on the Serial Data line, SDA, when the Serial Clock line. SCL, is high. A rising edge on SDA when SCL is high indicates a STOP condition as shown in Fig.6. Data on SDA is clocked into the NJ88C33 on the rising edge of SCL. The NJ88C33 acknowledges each byte transferred to it by pulling the SDA line low for one cycle of SCL after the last bit has been received.

The START condition is followed by the address byte, the acknowledge from the NJ88C33, the subaddress byte, another acknowledge then the associated data. The correct values for each address and sub-address are listed, together with the message selection options. S = Start St = Stop A = Acknowledge P = Programmable (as shown) x = Don't care Data Formats Each of the data formats should be preceded contiguously by the addressing sequence given above. R counter : single or dual modulus Status : single or dual modulus Status Byte Bit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 0 PORT = low Counters off (1) FI and RI off (2) PD = polarity negative PD bias = 0.625mA fVD = RI/2 Doubler off MOD = push-pull 1 PORT = high Counters on FI and RI on PD = polarity positive PD bias = 2.5mA fVD = RI/4 Doubler on (3) MOD = open drain NOTES 1. In this standby mode the counters are disabled but the voltage doubler and I2C interface can both function. 2. In this standby mode the FI and RI preamplifiers are disabled, which stops the counters and the voltage doubler. The I2C interface still operates. 3. The voltage doubler should only be used when VDD ≤ 3.0V N counter : single modulus A/N counters : dual modulus 7 NJ88C33 APPLICATION CIRCUITS Single Modulus In this mode, the NJ88C33 synthesiser can be used with or without a fixed modulus prescaler. The R counter is programmed with a value to produce a comparison frequency fc. When the N counter is changed by 1 the loop is no longer in lock and the phase detector output produces current pulses to bring the loop back into lock. These pulses are integrated by the loop fiiter to produce the VCO voltage drive. When the VCO loop is locked, Fl/N=fC i.e., the VCO frequency is N x fC. Using a prescaler with a division ratio P, the smallest VCO output frequency step is PfC and the VCO frequency is PNfC. If a low pass filter is connected to the lock detect output as shown and sampled by the microprocessor, the proximity of the synthesiser loop to lock can be evaluated. The A counter is not used in this mode. Fig. 7 Single modulus application Dual Modulus This mode allows much higher frequencies to be used in conjunction with a prescaler but maintains the step size, fc. In this mode, a dual modulus prescaler (with ratios P and P + 1) must be used with the NJ88C33. The A counter controls the MOD output, which is used to select the division ratio of the prescaler. When the A counter is non-zero, the MOD output is low and goes high when the A counter has counted down to zero. MOD remains high until the N counter reaches zero, when both counters are re-loaded. Thus, the prescaler divides by P for N-A cycles and by P + 1 for A cycles of Fl. The VCO frequency is given by PNfC + AfC. Note that programming A = 0 produces a count of 128 cycles. Fig. 8 Dual modulus application 8 NJ88C33 VCO Driving Without Voltage Doubler To switch off the voltage doubler, bit 7 of the status register is programmed low. This will reduce current consumption and minimise noise. The voltage doubler output C should be connected to GND1 as connection to GND2 would induce noise in the VCO loop. VCO Driving With Voltage Doubler The voltage doubler is switched on by setting bit 7 of the status register high. It is recommended that a reservoir capacitor of at least 1µF be connected from C to GND1. The voltage doubler is designed to boost VCO drive in low voltage applications. Fig. 9 Driving a VCO without voltage doubler Fig. 10 Driving a VCO using the voltage doubler Further Applications Information A stand-alone programmer card and an evaluation board are available for evaluating the NJ88C33. The programmer card allows two sets of variables to be programmed into both the divider and status registers during alternate programming cycles, at either the standard I2C bus rate of 100kHz or at 2MHz. Initialisation is with either a manual push-button or by an external logic level pulse; a synchronisation output is provided to allow a quick assessment of ‘step’ and ‘settle’ responses to be made. The NJ88C33 evaluation board (Fig. 11 ) dernonstrates the preferred layout technique - providing a reference oscillator, a 60 to 80MHz VCO and a simple loop filter to complete a minimal frequency synthesiser loop. The two units allow analysis of different loop variables as well as the selection of comparison frequencies for fast frequencyhopping loops.
