IF Power-Down
Tabl e 9 shows the power-down bits in the ADF4212L.
IF Fastlock
The IF CP gain bit (P8) of the IF N counter latch register in the
ADF4212L is the fastlock enable bit. Only when P8 is set to 1 is
IF fastlock enabled. When fastlock is enabled, the IF CP current
is set to the maximum value. Also, an extra loop filter damping
resistor to ground is switched in using the FL
O
pin, thus
compensating for the change in loop characteristics while in
fastlock. Because the IF CP gain bit is contained in the IF N
counter, only one write is needed to both program a new output
frequency and initiate fastlock. To come out of fastlock, the IF
CP gain bit on the IF N counter latch register must be set to 0
(see Table 9).
RF SECTION
Programmable RF Reference (R) Counter
If Control Bits[C2: C1] = 10, the data is transferred from the
input shift register to the 15-bit RF R counter. Table 10 shows
the input shift register data format for the RF R counter and the
divide ratios possible.
RF Phase Detector Polarity
P9 sets the IF phase detector polarity. When the RF VCO
characteristics are positive, P9 should be set to 1. When they are
negative, it should be set to 0 (see Table 10).
RF Charge Pump Three-State
P10 puts the RF charge pump into three-state mode when
programmed to a 1. It should be set to 0 for normal operation
(see Table 10).
RF Program Modes
Tabl e 10 shows how to set up the program modes in the
ADF4212L.
RF Charge Pump Currents
RFCP2, RFCP1, and RFCP0 program the current setting for the
RF charge pump. See Table 10.
Programmable RF N Counter
If Control Bits[C2:C1] = 11, the data in the input register is
used to program the RF N (A + B) counter. The N counter
consists of a 6-bit swallow counter (A counter) and a 12-bit
programmable counter (B counter). Table 11 shows the input
register data format for programming the RF N counter and the
divide ratios that are possible.
RF Prescaler Value
P14 and P15 in the RF N counter latch set the RF prescaler
values. See Table 11.
RF Power-Down
Tabl e 11 shows the power-down bits in the ADF4212L.
RF Fastlock
The RF CP gain bit (P17) of the RF N counter latch register in
the ADF4212L is the fastlock enable bit. Only when P17 is set to
1 is IF fastlock enabled. When fastlock is enabled, the RF CP
current is set to the maximum value. Also, an extra loop filter
damping resistor to ground is switched in using the FL
O
pin,
thus compensating for the change in loop characteristics while
in fastlock. Because the RF CP gain bit is contained in the RF N
counter, only one write is needed to both program a new output
frequency and initiate fastlock. To come out of fastlock, the RF
CP gain bit on the RF N counter latch register must be set to 0.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
LOCAL OSCILLATOR FOR GSM HANDSET RECEIVER
Figure 31 shows the ADF4212L being used with a VCO to pro-
duce the required LOs for a GSM base station transmitter or
receiver. The reference input signal is applied to the circuit at
FREF
IN
and, in this case, is terminated in 50 . Typical GSM
systems have a 13 MHz TCXO driving the reference input
without any 50 termination. To have a channel spacing of
200 kHz (the GSM standard), the reference input must be
divided by 65, using the on-chip reference.
The RF output frequency range is 880 MHz to 915 MHz. The
loop filter is designed to give a 20 kHz loop bandwidth. The
filter is set up for a 5 mA charge pump current, and the VCO
sensitivity is 12 MHz/V. The IF output is fixed at 540 MHz. The
filter is again designed to have a bandwidth of 20 kHz, and the
system is programmed to give channel steps of 200 kHz.

WIDEBAND PLL
Many of the wireless applications for synthesizers and VCOs in
PLLs are narrow band in nature. These applications include the
various wireless standards such as GSM, DSC1800, CDMA, or
WCDMA. In each of these cases, the total tuning range for the
LO is less than 100 MHz. However, there are also wideband
applications where the LO can have up to an octave tuning
range. For example, cable television tuners have a total range
of about 400 MHz. Figure 32 shows an application where the
ADF4212L is used to control and program the Micronetics
M3500-1324. The loop filter was designed for an RF output of
2100 MHz, a loop bandwidth of 40 kHz, a PFD frequency of 1
MHz, I
CP
of 10 mA (2.5 mA synthesizer I
CP
multiplied by the gain
factor of 4), VCO K
D
of 80 MHz/V (sensitivity of the M3500-1324
at an output of 2100 MHz), and a phase margin of 45 degrees.
In narrow-band applications, there is generally a small variation
in output frequency (generally less than 10%) and a small variation
in VCO sensitivity over the range (typically <10%). However, in
wideband applications, both of these parameters have a much
greater variation, which changes the loop bandwidth. This, in turn,
can affect stability and lock time. By changing the programma-
ble I
CP
, it is possible to obtain compensation for these varying loop
conditions and to ensure that the loop is always operating close
to optimal conditions.
