3. Functional Description
The Si4133 is a monolithic integrated circuit that performs IF and dual-band RF synthesis for wireless communications applications. This integrated circuit (IC), with minimal external components, completes the frequency synthesis function necessary for RF communications systems.
The Si4133 has three complete phase-locked loops (PLLs) with integrated voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). The low phase noise of the VCOs makes the Si4133 suitable for demanding wireless communications applications. Phase detectors, loop filters, and reference and output frequency dividers are integrated. The IC is programmed with a three-wire serial interface.
Two PLLs are provided for dual-band RF synthesis. These RF PLLs are multiplexed so that only one PLL is active at a time, as determined by the setting of an internal register. The active PLL is the last one to be written. The center frequency of the VCO in each PLL is set by the value of an external inductance. Inaccuracies in these inductances are compensated for by the selftuning algorithm. The algorithm is run after powerup or after a change in the programmed output frequency.
Each RF PLL, when active, can adjust the RF output frequency by �5% of its VCO's center frequency. Because the two VCOs can be set to have widely separated center frequencies, the RF output can be programmed to service two widely separated frequency bands by programming the corresponding N-Divider. One RF VCO is optimized to have its center frequency set between 947 MHz and 1.72 GHz, while the second RF VCO is optimized to have its center frequency set between 789 MHz and 1.429 GHz.
One PLL is provided for IF frequency synthesis. The center frequency of this circuit's VCO is set by the connection of an external inductance. The PLL can adjust the IF output frequency by �5% of the VCO center frequency. Inaccuracies in the value of the external inductance are compensated for by the Si4133's proprietary self-tuning algorithm. This algorithm is initiated each time the PLL is powered-up (by either the PWDN pin or by software) and/or each time a new output frequency is programmed.
The IF VCO can have its center frequency set as low as 526 MHz and as high as 952 MHz. An IF output divider divides down the IF output frequencies, if needed. The divider is programmable and is capable of dividing by 1, 2, 4, or 8.

The unique PLL architecture used in the Si4133 produces settling (lock) times that are comparable in speed to fractional-N architectures without the high phase noise or spurious modulation effects often associated with those designs.
3.1. Serial Interface
A timing diagram for the serial interface is shown in Figure 2 on page 7. Figure 3 on page 7 shows the format of the serial word.
The Si4133 is programmed serially with 22-bit words comprised of 18-bit data fields and 4-bit address fields. When the serial interface is enabled (i.e., when SEN is low) data and address bits on the SDATA pin are clocked into an internal shift register on the rising edge of SCLK. Data in the shift register is then transferred on the rising edge of SEN into the internal data register addressed in the address field. The serial interface is disabled when SEN is high.
Table 12 on page 21 summarizes the data register functions and addresses. The internal shift register ignores leading bits before the 22 required bits.
3.2. Setting the VCO Center Frequencies
The PLLs can adjust the IF and RF output frequencies �5% of the center frequencies of their VCOs. Each center frequency is established by the value of an external inductance connected to the respective VCO. Manufacturing tolerances of �10% for the external inductances are acceptable. The Si4133 compensates for inaccuracies in each inductance by executing a selftuning algorithm after PLL powerup or after a change in the programmed output frequency.
Because the total tank inductance is in the low nH range, the inductance of the package must be considered when determining the correct external inductance. The total inductance (LTOT) presented to each VCO is the sum of the external inductance (LEXT) and the package inductance (LPKG). Each VCO has a nominal capacitance (CNOM) in parallel with the total inductance, and the center frequency is as follows:

fCEN

the correct total inductance to the VCO. In manufacturing, the external inductance can vary �10% of its nominal value and the Si4133 corrects for the variation with the self-tuning algorithm.

Figure 15. External Inductance Connection
As a design example, consider that the goal is to synthesize frequencies in a 25 MHz band between 1120 and 1145 MHz using the Si4133-GT. The center frequency should be defined as midway between the two extremes, or 1132.5 MHz. The PLL can adjust the VCO output frequency �5% of the center frequency, or �56.6 MHz of 1132.5 MHz (i.e., from approximately 1076 to 1189 MHz). The RF2 VCO has a CNOM of 4.8 pF. A 4.1 nH inductance in parallel with this capacitance yields the required center frequency. An external inductance of 1.8 nH should be connected between RFLC and RFLD as shown in Figure 15. This, in addition to 2.3 nH of package inductance, presents

The self-tuning algorithm is initiated immediately after powerup of a PLL or, if the PLL is already powered, after a change in its programmed output frequency. This algorithm attempts to tune the VCO so that its freerunning frequency is near the required output frequency. In doing so, the algorithm compensates for manufacturing tolerance errors in the value of the external inductance connected to the VCO. It also reduces the frequency error for which the PLL must correct to get the precise required output frequency. The self-tuning algorithm leaves the VCO oscillating at a frequency in error by somewhat less than 1% of the desired output frequency.
After self-tuning, the PLL controls the VCO oscillation frequency. The PLL completes frequency locking, eliminating any remaining frequency error. From then on, it maintains frequency-lock, compensating for effects of temperature and supply voltage variations.
The Si4133's self-tuning algorithm compensates for component value errors at any temperature within the specified temperature range. However, the ability of the PLL to compensate for drift in component values that occur after self-tuning is limited. For external inductances with temperature coefficients approximately �150 ppm/oC, the PLL can maintain lock for changes in temperature of approximately �30 oC.
Applications where the PLL is regularly powered down or the frequency is periodically reprogrammed minimize or eliminate the potential effects of temperature drift because the VCO is re-tuned in either case. In applications where the ambient temperature can drift substantially after self-tuning, it might be necessary to monitor the lock-detect bar (LDETB) signal on the AUXOUT pin to determine whether a PLL is about to run out of locking capability. See "3.10. Auxiliary Output

(AUXOUT)" for how to select LDETB. The LDETB signal is low after self-tuning is completed but rises when the IF or RF PLL nears the limit of its compensation range. LDETB is also high when either PLL is executing the self-tuning algorithm. The output frequency is still locked when LDETB goes high, but the PLL eventually loses lock if the temperature continues to drift in the same direction. Therefore, if LDETB goes high both the IF and RF PLLs should be re-tuned promptly by initiating the self-tuning algorithm.
3.5. Output Frequencies

setting the bits to 11. The values of the available gains, relative to the highest gain, are as follows:

Table 8. Gain Values (Register 1)

KP Bits
00 01 10 11

Relative P.D. Gain 1 1/2 1/4 1/8

The IF and RF output frequencies are set by programming the R- and N-Divider registers. Each PLL has R and N registers so that each can be programmed independently. Programming either the R- or N-Divider register for RF1 or RF2 automatically selects the associated output.
The reference frequency on the XIN pin is divided by R and this signal is input to the PLL's phase detector. The other input to the phase detector is the PLL's VCO output frequency divided by N. The PLL acts to make these frequencies equal.
That is, after an initial transient:

The gain value bits is automatically set with the Auto KP bit (bit 2) in the Main Configuration register to 1. In setting this bit, the gain values are optimized for a given value of N. In general, a higher phase detector gain decreases in-band phase noise and increase the speed of the PLL transient until the point at which stability begins to be compromised. The optimal gain depends on N. Table 9 lists recommended settings for different values of N. These are the settings when the Auto KP bit is set.

f--R----E----FR

or

fREF

The R values are set by programming the RF1 RDivider register (Register 6), the RF2 R-Divider register (Register 7) and the IF R-Divider register (Register 8).

The N values are set by programming the RF1 NDivider register (Register 3), the RF2 N-Divider register (Register 4), and the IF N-Divider register (Register 5).

Each N-Divider is implemented as a conventional high speed divider. That is, it consists of a dual-modulus prescaler, a swallow counter, and a lower speed synchronous counter. However, the control of these sub-circuits is automatically handled. Only the appropriate N value should be programmed.

3.6. PLL Loop Dynamics

The transient response for each PLL is determined by its phase detector update rate f (equal to fREF/R) and the phase detector gain programmed for each RF1, RF2, or IF synthesizer. See Register 1. Four different settings for the phase detector gain are available for each PLL. The highest gain is programmed by setting the two phase detector gain bits to 00, and the lowest by

The VCO gain and loop filter characteristics are not programmable.
The settling time for the PLL is directly proportional to its phase detector update period T (T equals 1/f). A typical transient response is shown in Figure 6 on page 11. During the first 13 update periods the Si4133 executes the self-tuning algorithm. From then on the PLL controls the output frequency. Because of the unique architecture of the Si4133 PLLs, the time required to settle the output frequency to 0.1 ppm error is automatically 25 update periods. The total time after powerup or a change in programmed frequency until the synthesized frequency is settled--including time for self-tuning--is approximately 40 update periods.
Note: The settling time analysis holds for RF1 f  500 kHz. For RF1 f > 500 kHz, the settling time is larger.

3.7. RF and IF Outputs
The RFOUT and IFOUT pins are driven by amplifiers that buffer the RF VCOs and IF VCO respectively. The RF output amplifier receives its input from the RF1 or RF2 VCO, depending on which R- or N-Divider register is written last. For example, programming the N-Divider register for RF1 automatically selects the RF1 VCO output.
Figures 13 and 14 show application diagrams for the Si4133. The RF output signal must be ac coupled to its load through a capacitor. An external inductance between the RFOUT pin and the ac coupling capacitor is required as part of an output matching network to maximize power delivered to the load. This 2 nH inductance can be realized with a PC board trace. The network is made to provide an adequate match to an external 50  load for both the RF1 and RF2 frequency bands. The matching network also filters the output signal to reduce harmonic distortion.
The IFOUT pin must also be ac coupled to its load through a capacitor. The IF output level is dependent upon the load. Figure 18 on page 20 displays the output level versus load resistance for a variety of output frequencies. For resistive loads greater than 500  the output level saturates and the bias currents in the IF output amplifier are higher than required. The LPWR bit in the Main Configuration register (Register 0) can be set to 1 to reduce the bias currents and therefore reduce the power dissipated by the IF amplifier. For loads less than 500  LPWR should be set to 0 to maximize the output level.
For IF frequencies greater than 500 MHz, a matching network is required to drive a 50 load. See Figure 16. The value of LMATCH can be determined from Table 10.

Table 10. LMATCH Values

Frequency 500�600 MHz 600�800 MHz 800 MHz�1 GHz

LMATCH 40 nH 27 nH 18 nH

For frequencies less than 500 MHz, the IF output buffer can directly drive a 200  resistive load or higher. For resistive loads greater than 500  (f < 500 MHz) the LPWR bit can be set to reduce the power consumed by the IF output buffer. See Figure 17.

3.8. Reference Frequency Amplifier
The Si4133 provides a reference frequency amplifier. If the driving signal has CMOS levels it can be connected directly to the XIN pin. Otherwise, the reference frequency signal should be ac coupled to the XIN pin through a 560 pF capacitor.
3.9. Powerdown Modes
Table 11 summarizes the powerdown functionality. The Si4133 can be powered down by taking the PWDN pin low or by setting bits in the Powerdown register (Register 2). When the PWDN pin is low, the Si4133 is powered down regardless of the Powerdown register settings. When the PWDN pin is high, power management is in control of the Powerdown register bits.
The IF and RF sections of the Si4133 circuitry can be individually powered down by setting the Powerdown register bits PDIB and PDRB low, respectively. The reference frequency amplifier is also powered up if the PDRB and PDIB bits are high. Also, setting the AUTOPDB bit to 1 in the Main Configuration register (Register 0) is equivalent to setting both bits in the Powerdown register to 1.
The serial interface remains available and can be written in all powerdown modes.

3.10. Auxiliary Output (AUXOUT)
The signal appearing on AUXOUT is selected by setting the AUXSEL bits in the Main Configuration register (Register 0).
The LDETB signal can be selected by setting the AUXSEL bits to 11. This signal can be used to indicate that the IF or RF PLL is going to lose lock because of excessive ambient temperature drift and should be re-tuned. The LDETB signal indicates a logical OR result if both IF and RF are simultaneously generating a signal.
