Cycle slip reduction for faster lock times  
The ADF4157 is a 6 GHz fractional-N frequency synthesizer  
with a 25-bit fixed modulus, allowing subhertz frequency  
resolution at 6 GHz. It consists of a low noise digital phase  
frequency detector (PFD), a precision charge pump, and  
a programmable reference divider. There is a Σ-Δ based  
fractional interpolator to allow programmable fractional-N  
division. The INT and FRAC registers define an overall  
N divider, N = INT + (FRAC/225). The ADF4157 features cycle  
slip reduction circuitry, which leads to faster lock times without  
the need for modifications to the loop filter.  
Control of all on-chip registers is via a simple 3-wire interface.  
The device operates with a power supply ranging from  
2.7 V to 3.3 V and can be powered down when not in use.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION  
REFERENCE INPUT SECTION  
INT, FRAC, AND R RELATIONSHIP  
The INT and FRAC values, in conjunction with the R counter,  
make it possible to generate output frequencies that are spaced  
by fractions of the phase frequency detector (PFD). See the RF  
Synthesizer: A Worked Example section for more information.  
The RF VCO frequency (RFOUT) equation is  
The reference input stage is shown in Figure 11. SW1 and SW2  
are normally closed switches. SW3 is normally open. When  
power-down is initiated, SW3 is closed and SW1 and SW2 are  
opened. This ensures that there is no loading of the REFIN pin  
on power-down.  
RFOUT = fPFD × (INT + (FRAC/225))

25-BIT FIXED MODULUS  
The ADF4157 has a 25-bit fixed modulus. This allows output  
frequencies to be spaced with a resolution of  
f
RES = fPFD/225  
where fPFD is the frequency of the phase frequency detector  
(PFD). For example, with a PFD frequency of 10 MHz,  
frequency steps of 0.298 Hz are possible.

ADF4157  
PHASE FREQUENCY DETECTOR (PFD) AND  
CHARGE PUMP  
INPUT SHIFT REGISTERS  
The ADF4157 digital section includes a 5-bit RF R counter,  
a 12-bit RF N counter, and a 25-bit FRAC counter. Data is  
clocked into the 32-bit shift register on each rising edge of CLK.  
The data is clocked in MSB first. Data is transferred from  
the shift register to one of five latches on the rising edge of LE.  
The destination latch is determined by the state of the three  
control bits (C3, C2, and C1) in the shift register. These are  
the three LSBs, DB2, DB1, and DB0, as shown in Figure 2.  
The truth table for these bits is shown in Table 6. Figure 16  
shows a summary of how the latches are programmed.  
The PFD takes inputs from the R counter and the N counter  
and produces an output proportional to the phase and  
frequency difference between them. Figure 14 is a simplified  
schematic of the phase frequency detector. The PFD includes  
a fixed delay element that sets the width of the antibacklash  
pulse, which is typically 3 ns. This pulse ensures that there is no  
dead zone in the PFD transfer function and gives a consistent  
reference spur level.

Several settings in the ADF4157 are double-buffered. These  
include the LSB FRAC value, R counter value, reference doubler,  
and current setting. This means that two events have to occur  
before the part uses a new value of any of the double-buffered  
settings. First, the new value is latched into the device by  
writing to the appropriate register. Second, a new write must be  
performed on Register R0.

Figure 14. PFD Simplified Schematic  
For example, updating the fractional value can involve a write  
to the 13 LSB bits in R1 and the 12 MSB bits in R0. R1 should  
be written to first, followed by the write to R0. The frequency  
change begins after the write to R0. Double buffering ensures  
that the bits written to in R1 do not take effect until after  
the write to R0.  
MUXOUT AND LOCK DETECT  
The output multiplexer on the ADF4157 allows the user to  
access various internal points on the chip. The state of  
MUXOUT is controlled by M4, M3, M2, and M1 (see Figure  
17). Figure 15 shows the MUXOUT section in block diagram  
form.

R DIVIDER REGISTER (R2) MAP  
With R1[2, 1, 0] set to [0, 1, 0], the on-chip R divider register is  
programmed as shown in Figure 19.  
With P = 4/5, NMIN = 23.  
With P = 8/9, NMIN = 75.  
CSR Enable  
RDIV2  
Setting this bit to 1 enables cycle slip reduction. This is a  
method for improving lock times. Note that the signal at the PFD  
must have a 50% duty cycle in order for cycle slip reduction to  
work. In addition, the charge pump current setting must be set  
to a minimum. See the Cycle Slip Reduction for Faster Lock  
Times section for more information.  
Setting this bit to 1 inserts a divide-by-2 toggle flip flop between  
the R counter and the PFD. This can be used to provide a 50%  
duty cycle signal at the PFD for use with cycle slip reduction.  
Reference Doubler  
Setting DB[20] to 0 feeds the REFIN signal directly to the 5-bit  
RF R counter, disabling the doubler. Setting this bit to 1  
multiplies the REFIN frequency by a factor of 2 before feeding  
into the 5-bit R counter. When the doubler is disabled,  
the REFIN falling edge is the active edge at the PFD input to  
the fractional synthesizer. When the doubler is enabled, both  
the rising edge and falling edge of REFIN become active edges at  
the PFD input.  
Note also that the cycle slip reduction feature can only be  
operated when the phase detector polarity setting is positive  
(DB6 in Register R3). It cannot be used if the phase detector  
polarity is set to negative.  
Charge Pump Current Setting  
DB[27], DB[26], DB[25], and DB[24] set the charge pump  
current setting. This should be set to the charge pump current  
that the loop filter is designed with (see Figure 19).  
The maximum allowed REFIN frequency when the doubler is  
enabled is 30 MHz.  
5-Bit R Counter  
Prescaler (P/P + 1)  
The 5-bit R counter allows the input reference frequency  
(REFIN) to be divided down to produce the reference clock to  
the phase frequency detector (PFD). Division ratios from  
1 to 32 are allowed.  
The dual-modulus prescaler (P/P + 1), along with the INT,  
FRAC, and MOD counters, determines the overall division ratio  
from the RFIN to the PFD input.  
Operating at CML levels, it takes the clock from the RF input  
stage and divides it down for the counters. It is based on  
a synchronous 4/5 core. When set to 4/5, the maximum RF  
frequency allowed is 3 GHz. Therefore, when operating  
the ADF4157 above 3 GHz, the prescaler must be set to 8/9.  
The prescaler limits the INT value.  
Reserved Bits  
All reserved bits should be set to 0 for normal operation.

FUNCTION REGISTER (R3) MAP  
With R2[2, 1, 0] set to [0, 1, 1], the on-chip function register is  
programmed as shown in Figure 20.  
While in software power-down mode, the part retains all  
information in its registers. Only when supplies are removed are  
the register contents lost.  
Reserved Bits  
When a power-down is activated, the following events occur:  
1. All active dc current paths are removed.  
All reserved bits should be set to 0 for normal operation.  
Σ-Δ Reset  
2. The synthesizer counters are forced to their load state  
conditions.  
For most applications, DB14 should be set to 0. When DB14 is  
set to 0, the Σ-Δ modulator is reset on each write to Register 0.  
If it is not required that the Σ-Δ modulator be reset on each  
Register 0 write, this bit should be set to 1.  
3. The charge pump is forced into three-state mode.  
4. The digital lock detect circuitry is reset.  
5. The RFIN input is debiased.  
Lock Detect Precision (LDP)  
When DB[7] is programmed to 0, 24 consecutive PFD cycles of  
15 ns must occur before digital lock detect is set. When this bit  
is programmed to 1, 40 consecutive reference cycles of 15 ns  
must occur before digital lock detect is set.  
6. The input register remains active and capable of loading  
and latching data.  
RF Charge Pump Three-State  
DB[4] puts the charge pump into three-state mode when  
programmed to 1. It should be set to 0 for normal operation.  
Phase Detector Polarity  
DB[6] in the ADF4157 sets the phase detector polarity. When  
the VCO characteristics are positive, this should be set to 1.  
When they are negative, it should be set to 0.  
RF Counter Reset  
DB[3] is the RF counter reset bit for the ADF4157. When this is  
1, the RF synthesizer counters are held in reset. For normal  
operation, this bit should be 0.  
RF Power-Down  
DB[5] on the ADF4157 provides the programmable power-  
down mode. Setting this bit to 1 performs a power-down.  
Setting this bit to 0 returns the synthesizer to normal operation.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
note that the PFD cannot be operated above 32 MHz due to  
a limitation in the speed of the Σ-Δ circuit of the N divider.  
INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE  
After powering up the part, this programming sequence must  
be followed:  
CYCLE SLIP REDUCTION FOR FASTER LOCK TIMES  
In fast-locking applications, a wide loop filter bandwidth is  
required for fast frequency acquisition, resulting in increased  
integrated phase noise and reduced spur attenuation. Using  
cycle slip reduction, the loop bandwidth can be kept narrow to

RF SYNTHESIZER: A WORKED EXAMPLE  
Cycle Slips  
The following equation governs how the synthesizer should be  
programmed:  
Cycle slips occur in integer-N/fractional-N synthesizers when  
the loop bandwidth is narrow compared to the PFD frequency.  
The phase error at the PFD inputs accumulates too fast for the PLL  
to correct, and the charge pump temporarily pumps in the wrong  
direction, slowing down the lock time dramatically. The ADF4157  
contains a cycle slip reduction circuit to extend the linear range  
of the PFD, allowing faster lock times without loop filter changes.  
RFOUT = [N + (FRAC/225)] × [fPFD  
]
(3)  
where:  
RFOUT is the RF frequency output.  
N is the integer division factor.  
FRAC is the fractionality.  
When the ADF4157 detects that a cycle slip is about to occur, it  
turns on an extra charge pump current cell. This outputs a constant  
current to the loop filter or removes a constant current from the  
loop filter (depending on whether the VCO tuning voltage needs  
to increase or decrease to acquire the new frequency). The effect is  
that the linear range of the PFD is increased. Stability is main-  
tained because the current is constant and is not a pulsed current.  
f
PFD = REFIN × [(1 + D)/(R × (1 + T))]  
(4)  
where:  
REFIN is the reference frequency input.  
D is the RF REFIN doubler bit.  
R is the RF reference division factor.  
T is the reference divide-by-2 bit (0 or 1).  
For example, in a system where a 5.8002 GHz RF frequency  
output (RFOUT) is required and a 10 MHz reference frequency  
input (REFIN) is available, the frequency resolution is  
If the phase error increases again to a point where another cycle  
slip is likely, the ADF4157 turns on another charge pump cell.  
This continues until the ADF4157 detects that the VCO  
frequency has gone past the desired frequency. It then begins to  
turn off the extra charge pump cells one by one until they are all  
turned off and the frequency is settled.

f
RES = REFIN/225  
RES = 10 MHz/225 = 0.298 Hz  
From Equation 4,  
Up to seven extra charge pump cells can be turned on. In most  
applications, it is enough to eliminate cycle slips altogether,  
giving much faster lock times.  
f
PFD = [10 MHz × (1 + 0)/1] = 10 MHz  
5.8002 GHz = 10 MHz × (N + FRAC/225)  
Calculating N and FRAC values,  
Setting Bit DB28 in the R Divider register (R2) to 1 enables  
cycle slip reduction. Note that a 45% to 55% duty cycle is  
needed on the signal at the PFD in order for CSR to operate  
correctly. The reference divide-by-2 flip-flop can help to  
provide a 50% duty cycle at the PFD. For example, if a 100 MHz  
reference frequency is available, and the user wants to run the  
PFD at 10 MHz, setting the R divide factor to 10 results in a 10  
MHz PFD signal that is not 50% duty cycle. By setting the R  
divide factor to 5 and enabling the reference divide-by-2 bit, a  
50% duty cycle 10 MHz signal can be achieved.

MSB is the 12-bit MSB FRAC value in Register R0.  
LSB is the 13-bit LSB FRAC value in Register R1.  
int() makes an integer of the argument in brackets.  
REFERENCE DOUBLER AND REFERENCE DIVIDER  
Note that the cycle slip reduction feature can only be operated  
when the phase detector polarity setting is positive (DB6 in  
Register R3). It cannot be used if the phase detector polarity is  
set to negative.  
The reference doubler on-chip allows the input reference signal  
to be doubled. This is useful for increasing the PFD comparison  
frequency. Making the PFD frequency higher improves the noise  
performance of the system. Doubling the PFD frequency  
usually improves noise performance by 3 dB. It is important to

ADF4157  
SPUR MECHANISMS  
LOW FREQUENCY APPLICATIONS  
The fractional interpolator in the ADF4157 is a third-order Σ-Δ  
modulator (SDM) with a 25-bit fixed modulus (MOD). The SDM  
is clocked at the PFD reference rate (fPFD) that allows PLL output  
frequencies to be synthesized at a channel step resolution of  
The specification on the RF input is 0.5 GHz minimum;  
however, RF frequencies lower than this can be used providing  
the minimum slew rate specification of 400 V/ꢀs is met.  
An appropriate LVDS driver can be used to square up the RF  
signal before it is fed back to the ADF4157 RF input. The FIN1001  
from Fairchild Semiconductor is one such LVDS driver.  
f
PFD/MOD. The various spur mechanisms possible with  
fractional-N synthesizers, and how they affect the ADF4157,  
are discussed in this section.  
FILTER DESIGN—ADIsimPLL  
Fractional Spurs  
A filter design and analysis program is available to help the user  
implement PLL design. Visit www.analog.com/pll for a free  
download of the ADIsimPLL™ software. The software designs,  
simulates, and analyzes the entire PLL frequency domain and  
time domain response. Various passive and active filter  
architectures are allowed.  
In most fractional synthesizers, fractional spurs can appear at  
the set channel spacing of the synthesizer. In the ADF4157,  
these spurs do not appear. The high value of the fixed modulus  
in the ADF4157 makes the Σ-Δ modulator quantization error  
spectrum look like broadband noise, effectively spreading  
the fractional spurs into noise.  
INTERFACING  
Integer Boundary Spurs  
The ADF4157 has a simple SPI-compatible serial interface for  
writing to the device. CLK, DATA, and LE control the data  
transfer. When latch enable (LE) is high, the 29 bits that have  
been clocked into the input register on each rising edge of  
SCLK are transferred to the appropriate latch. See Figure 2 for  
the timing diagram and Table 6 for the latch truth table.  
Interactions between the RF VCO frequency and the PFD  
frequency can lead to spurs known as integer boundary spurs.  
When these frequencies are not integer related (which is  
the purpose of the fractional-N synthesizer), spur sidebands  
appear on the VCO output spectrum at an offset frequency that  
corresponds to the beat note or difference frequency between  
an integer multiple of the PFD and the VCO frequency.  
The maximum allowable serial clock rate is 20 MHz.  
PCB DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR THE CHIP SCALE  
PACKAGE  
These spurs are named integer boundary spurs because they are  
more noticeable on channels close to integer multiples of the PFD  
where the difference frequency can be inside the loop band-  
width. These spurs are attenuated by the loop filter.  
The lands on the chip scale package (CP-20) are rectangular.  
The printed circuit board pad for these should be 0.1 mm  
longer than the package land length and 0.05 mm wider than  
the package land width. The land should be centered on the pad.  
This ensures that the solder joint size is maximized.  
Figure 7 shows an integer boundary spur. The RF frequency is  
5800.25 MHz, and the PFD frequency is 25 MHz. The integer  
boundary spur is 250 kHz from the carrier at an integer times  
the PFD frequency (232 × 25 MHz = 5800 MHz). The spur also  
appears on the upper sideband.  
The bottom of the chip scale package has a central thermal pad.  
The thermal pad on the printed circuit board should be at least  
as large as this exposed pad. On the printed circuit board, there  
should be a clearance of at least 0.25 mm between the thermal  
pad and the inner edges of the pad pattern. This ensures that  
shorting is avoided.  
Reference Spurs  
Reference spurs are generally not a problem in fractional-N  
synthesizers because the reference offset is far outside the loop  
bandwidth. However, any reference feedthrough mechanism  
that bypasses the loop can cause a problem. One such  
mechanism is the feedthrough of low levels of on-chip reference  
switching noise out through the RFIN pin back to the VCO,  
resulting in reference spur levels as high as –90 dBc. Care  
should be taken in the PCB layout to ensure that the VCO is  
well separated from the input reference to avoid a possible  
feedthrough path on the board.  
Thermal vias can be used on the printed circuit board thermal  
pad to improve thermal performance of the package. If vias are  
used, they should be incorporated into the thermal pad at  
1.2 mm pitch grid. The via diameter should be between 0.3 mm  
and 0.33 mm, and the via barrel should be plated with 1 ounce  
of copper to plug the via. The user should connect the printed  
circuit board thermal pad to AGND.
