LMX2531LQ1500E
High Performance Frequency Synthesizer System with
Integrated VCO
General Description
Features
The LMX2531LQ1500E is a low power, high performance
frequency synthesizer system which includes a fully integrat-
ed delta-sigma PLL and VCO with fully integrated tank circuit.
The third and fourth poles are also integrated and also ad-
justable. Also included are integrated ultra-low noise and high
precision LDOs for the PLL and VCO which give higher supply
noise immunity and also more consistent performance. When
combined with a high quality reference oscillator, the
LMX2531LQ1500E generates very stable, low noise local os-
cillator signals for up and down conversion in wireless com-
munication devices. The LMX2531LQ1500E is a monolithic
integrated circuit, fabricated in an advanced BiCMOS pro-
cess. There are several different versions of this product in
order to accomdate different frequency bands.

Note 2: Normalized Phase Noise Contribution is defined as: LN(f) = L(f) – 20log(N) – 10log(Fcomp) where L(f) is defined as the single side band phase noise
measured at an offset frequency, f, in a 1 Hz Bandwidth and Fcomp is the comparison frequency of the synthesizer. The offset frequency, f, must be chosen
sufficiently smaller then the loop bandwidth of the PLL, and large enough to avoid a substantial noise contribution from the reference.
Note 3: Maximum Allowable Temperature Drift for Continuous Lock is how far the temperature can drift in either direction from the value it was at the time that
the R0 register was last programmed, and still have the part stay in lock. The action of programming the R0 register, even to the same value, activates a frequency
calibration routine. This implies that the part will work over the entire frequency range, but if the temperature drifts more than the maximum allowable drift for
continuous lock, then it will be necessary to reload the R0 register to ensure that it stays in lock. Regardless of what temperature the part was initially programmed
at, the temperature can never drift outside the frequency range of -40°C ≤TA≤ 85°C without violating specifications.
Note 4: The VCO phase noise is measured assuming that the loop bandwidth is sufficiently narrow that the VCO noise dominates. The maximum limits apply
only at center frequency and over temperature, assuming that the part is reloaded at each test frequency. Over frequency, the phase noise can vary 1-2 dB, with
the worst case performance typically occurring at the highest frequency. Over temperature, the phase noise typically varies 1-2 dB, assuming the part is reloaded.
Serial Data Timing Diagram

The DATA is clocked into a shift register on each rising edge of the CLK signal. On the rising edge of the LE signal, the data is
sent from the shift registers to an actual counter. A slew rate of at least 30 V/µs is recommended for these signals. After the
programming is complete, the CLK, DATA, and LE signals should be returned to a low state. If the CLK and DATA lines are toggled
while the in VCO is in lock , as is sometimes the case when these lines are shared with other parts, the phase noise may be
degraded during the time of this programming.

sen to be 2, then the comparison frequency is 9.84 MHz. The
greatest common multiple of 9.84 MHz and 2110.8 MHz is
240 kHz. 9.84 MHz / 240 kHz = 41. So the fractional denom-
inator could be 41, or any multiple of 41. For this last example
value, the entire N counter value would be 214 + 21/41.
1.0 Functional Description
The LMX2531LQ1500E is a low power, high performance
frequency synthesizer system which includes the PLL, VCO,
and partially integrated loop filter. Section 2.0 on program-
ming describes the bits mentioned in this section in more
detail.
The fractional value is achieved with a delta sigma architec-
ture. In this architecture, an integer N counter is modulated
between different values in order to achieve a fractional value.
On this part, the modulator order can be zero (integer mode),
two, three, or four. The higher the fractional modulator order
is, the lower the spurs theoretically are. However, this is not
always the case, and the higher order fractional modulator
can sometimes give rise to additional spurious tones, but this
is dependent on the application. This is why it is an advantage
to have the modulator order selectable. Dithering also has an
impact on the fractional spurs, but a lesser one.
1.1 REFERENCE OSCILLATOR INPUT
Because the VCO frequency calibration algorithm is based on
clocks from the OSCin pin, there are certain bits that need to
be
set
depending
on
the
OSCin
frequency.
XTLSEL ( R6[22:20] ) and XTLDIV ( R7[9:8] ) are both need
to be set based on the OSCin frequency.
1.2 R DIVIDER
The R divider divides the OSCin frequency down to the phase
detector frequency. The only valid R counter values are 1, 2,
4, 8, 16, and 32. The R divider also has an impact on the
fractional modulus that can be used, if it is greater than 8.
1.4 PHASE DETECTOR
The phase detector compares the outputs of the R and N
counters and puts out a correction current corresponding to
the phase error. The choice of the phase detector frequency
does have an impact on performance. When determining
which phase detector frequency to use, the restrictions on the
R counter values must be taken into consideration.
1.3 N DIVIDER AND FRACTIONAL CIRCUITRY
The N divider on the LMX2531LQ1500E is fractional and can
achieve any fractional denominator between
1 and
4,194,303. The integer portion of the N counter value, NInte-
ger, is determined by the value of the N word. Because there
is a 16/17/20/21 prescaler, there are restrictions on how small
the NInteger value can be. This is because this value is actually
formed by several different prescalers in the quadruple mod-
ulus prescaler in order to achieve the desired value. The
fractional word, NFractional , is a fraction formed with the NUM
and DEN words. The fractional denominator value, DEN, can
be set from 2 to 4,194,303. The case of DEN=0 makes no
sense, since this would cause an infinite N value, and the case
of 1 makes no sense (but could be done), because integer
mode should be used in these applications. All other values
in this range, like 10, 32,734, or 4,000,000 are all valid. Once
the fractional denominator, DEN, is determined, the fractional
numerator, NUM, is intended to be varied from 0 to DEN-1.
Sometimes, expressing the same fraction, like 1/10, in terms
of larger fractions, like 100/10000, sometimes yields better
fractional spurs, but other times it does not. This can be im-
pacted by the fractional modulator order and the dithering
mode selected, as well as the loop bandwidth, and other ap-
plication specific criteria. So in general, the total N counter
value is determined by:
1.5 PARTIALLY INTEGRATED LOOP FILTER
The LMX2531LQ1500E integrates the third pole (formed by
R3 and C3) and fourth pole (formed by R4 and C4) of the loop
filter. This loop filter can be enabled or bypassed using the
EN_LPFLTR ( R6[15] ). The values for C3, C4, R3, and R4
can also be programmed independently through the MI-
CROWIRE interface . Also, the values for R3 and R4 can be
changed during FastLock, for minimum lock time. It is recom-
mended that the integrated loop filter be set to the maximum
possible attenuation (R3=R4=40kΩ, C3=C4=100pF), the in-
ternal loop filter is more effective at reducing certain spurs
than the external loop filter. However, if the attenuation of the
internal loop filter is too high, it limits the maximum attainable
loop bandwidth that can be achieved, which corresponds to
the case where the shunt loop filter capacitor, C1, is zero.
Increasing the charge pump current and/or the comparison
frequency increases the maximum attainable loop bandwidth
when designing with the integrated filter. Furthermore, this
often allows the loop filter to be better optimized and have
stronger attenuation. If the charge pump current and com-
parison frequency are already as high as they go, and the
maximum attainable loop bandwidth is still too low, the resis-
tor and capacitor values can be decreased or the internal loop
filter can even be bypassed. Note that when the internal loop
filter is bypassed, there is still a small amount of input capac-
itance on front of the VCO on the order of 200 pF. For design
tools and more information on partially integrated loop filters,
go to wireless.national.com.
N = NInteger + NFractional
In order to calculate the minimum necessary fractional de-
nominator, the R counter value needs to be chosen, so that
the comparison frequency is known. The minimum necessary
fractional denominator can be calculated by dividing the com-
parison frequency by the greatest common multiple of the
comparison frequency and the OSCin frequency. For exam-
ple, consider the case of a 10 MHz crystal and a 200 kHz
channel spacing. If the R counter value is chosen to be 2, then
the comparison frequency will be 5 MHz. The greatest com-
mon multiple of 200 kHz and 5 MHz is 200 kHz. If one takes
5 MHz divided by 200 kHz, this is 25. So a fractional denom-
inator of 25, or any multiple of 25 would work in this situation.
Now consider a second example where the channel spacing
is changed to 30 kHz. If it is again assumed that the compar-
ison frequency is 5 MHz, then the greatest common multiple
of 30 kHz and 5 MHz is 10 kHz. 5 MHz divided by 10 kHz is
500. In this situation, a fractional denominator of 500, or any
multiple of 500 would suffice. For a final example, consider
an application with a fixed output frequency of 2110.8 MHz
and a crystal frequency of 19.68 MHz. If the R counter is cho-
1.6 LOW NOISE, FULLY INTEGRATED VCO
The LMX2531LQ1500E includes a fully integrated VCO, in-
cluding the inductors. In order for optimum phase noise per-
formance, this VCO has frequency and phase noise calibra-
tion algorithms. The frequency calibration algorithm is
necessary because the VCO internally divides up the fre-
quency range into several bands, in order to achieve a lower
tuning gain, and therefore better phase noise performance.
The frequency calibration routine is activated any time that
the R0 register is programmed. If the temperature shifts con-
siderably and the R0 register is not programmed, then it can
not drift more than the maximum allowable drift for continuous
lock, ΔTCL, or else the VCO is not guaranteed to stay in lock.

The phase noise calibration algorithm is necessary in order
to achieve the lowest possible phase noise. The
VCO_ACI_SEL bit ( R6[19:16] ) needs to be set to the correct
value to ensure the best possible phase noise.
user many degrees of freedom. This section discusses some
of the design considerations. From the perspective of the PLL
noise, choosing the charge pump current and comparison
frequency as high as possible are best for optimal phase
noise performance. The far out PLL noise improves 3 dB for
every doubling of the comparison frequency, but at lower off-
sets, this effect is much less due to the PLL 1/f noise. In-
creasing the charge pump current improves the phase noise
about 3 dB per doubling of the charge pump current, although
there are small diminishing returns as the charge pump cur-
rent goes higher.
The gain of the VCO can change considerably over frequen-
cy. It is lowest at the minimum frequency and highest at the
maximum frequency. This range is specified in the datasheet.
When designing the loop filter, the following method is rec-
ommended. First, take the geometric mean of the minimum
and maximum frequencies that are to be used. Then use a
linear approximation to extrapolate the VCO gain.
From a loop filter design and PLL phase noise perspective,
one might think to always design with the highest possible
comparison frequency and charge pump current. However, if
one considers the worst case fractional spurs that occur at an
output frequency equal to 1 channel spacing away from a
multiple of the OSCin frequency, then this gives reason to re-
consider. If the comparison frequency or charge pump cur-
rents are too high, then these spurs could be degraded, and
the loop filter may not be able to filter these spurs as well as
theoretically predicted. For optimal spur performance, a com-
parison frequency in the ballpark of 2.5 MHz and a charge
pump current of 1X are recommended.
1.7 PROGRAMMABLE DIVIDE BY 2
All options of the LMX2531LQ1500E offer a divide by 2 option.
This allows the user to get exactly half of the VCO frequency,
by dividing the output of the VCO output by two. Because this
divide by two is outside feedback path between the VCO and
the PLL, the loop filter and counter values are set up for the
VCO frequency before it is divide by two. Note that R0 register
should be reprogrammed the first time after the DIV2 bit is
enabled or disabled for optimal phase noise performance.
1.8 CHOOSING THE CHARGE PUMP CURRENT AND
COMPARISON FREQUENCY
The LMX2531LQ1500E has 16 levels of charge pump cur-
rents and a highly flexible fractional modulus. This gives the

2.0 General Programming Information
The LMX2531LQ1500E is programmed using 11 24-bit registers used to control the LMX2531LQ1500E operation. A 24-bit shift
register is used as a temporary register to indirectly program the on-chip registers. The shift register consists of a data field and
an address field. The last 4 register bits, CTRL[3:0] form the address field, which is used to decode the internal register address.
The remaining 20 bits form the data field DATA[19:0]. While LE is low, serial data is clocked into the shift register upon the rising
edge of clock (data is programmed MSB first). When LE goes high, data is transferred from the data field into the selected register
bank.
Although there are actually 14 registers in this part, only a portion of them should be programmed, since the state of the other
hidden registers (R13, R11, and R10) are set during the initialization sequence. Although it is possible to program these hidden
registers, as well as a lot of bits that are defined to either '1' or '0', the user should not experiment with these hidden registers and
bits, since doing will most likely degrade performance. Furthermore, this would be inconsistent to how these parts are tested.

2.1 REGISTER R0
The action of programming the R0 register activates a frequency calibration routine for the VCO. This calibration is necessary to
get the VCO to center the tuning voltage for optimal performance. If the temperature drifts considerably, then the PLL should stay
in lock, provided that the temperature drift specification is not violated.
2.1.1 NUM[10:0] and NUM[21:12] -- Fractional Numerator
The NUM word is split between the R0 register and R1 register. The Numerator bits determine the fractional numerator for the
delta sigma PLL. This value can go from 0 to 4095 when the FDM bit ( R3[22] ) is 0 (the other bits in this register are ignored), or
0 to 4194303 when the FDM bit is 1.

Note that there are restrictions on the fractional numerator value depending on the R counter value if it is 16 or 32.
2.1.2 N[7:0] and N[10:8]
The N counter is 11 bits. 8 of these bits are located in the R0 register, and the remaining 3 (MSB bits) are located in the R1 register.
The LMX2531LQ1500E consists of an A, B, and C counter, which work in conjunction with the 16/17/20/21 prescaler in order to
form the final N counter value.

This bit programs the charge pump current when the charge pump gain. The current is programmable between 100uA and 1.6mA
in 100uA steps. In general, higher charge pump currents yield better phase noise for the PLL, but also can cause higher spurs.

Note that the R counter value can put some restrictions on the fractional denominator. In the case that it is 16, the fractional
denominator must be divisible by 2, which is equivalent to saying that the LSB of the fractional denominator word is zero. In the
case that the R counter is 32, the two LSB bits of the fractional denominator word must also be zero, which is equivalent to saying
that the fractional denominator must be divisible by 4. Because the fractional denominator can be very large, this should cause no
issues. For instance, if one wanted to achieve a fractional word of 1/65, and the R counter value was 16, the fractional word could
be changed t0 4/260 ,and the same resolution could be achieved.
2.3.2 DEN[21:12] and DEN[11:0]-- Fractional Denominator
These bits determine the fractional denominator. Note that the MSB bits for this word are in register R3. If the FDM bit is set to 0,
DEN[21:12] are ignored. The fractional denominator should only be set to zero if the fractional circuitry is being disabled by setting
ORDER=1. A value of one never makes sense to use. All other values could reasonably be used in fractional mode.

2.4 REGISTER R3
2.4.1 DEN[21:12] -- Extension for the Fractional Denominator
These are the MSB bits of the DEN word, which have already been discussed.
2.4.2 FoLD[3:0] -- Multiplexed Output for Ftest/LD Pin
The FoLD[3:0] word is used to program the output of the Ftest/LD Pin. This pin can be used for a general purpose I/O pin, a lock
detect pin, and for diagnostic purposes. When programmed to the digital lock detect state, the output of the Ftest/LD pin will be
high when the part is in lock, and low otherwise. Lock is determined by comparing the input phases to the phase detector. The
analog lock detect modes put out a high signal with very fast negative pulses, that correspond to when the charge pump comes
on. This output can be low pass filtered with an RC filter in order to determine the lock detect state. If the open drain state is used,
a pull-up resistor that is much larger than the resistance in the RC filter, to increase the sensitivity of the circuit. For diagnostic
purposes, the options that allow one to view the output of the R counter or the N counter can be very useful. Be aware that the
output voltage level of the Ftest/LD is not equal to the supply voltage of the part, but rather is given by VOH and VOL in the electrical
characteristics specification.

2.4.3 ORDER -- Order of Delta Sigma Modulator
This bit determines the order of the delta sigma modulator in the PLL. In general, higher order fractional modulators tend to reduce
the primary fractional spurs that occur at increments of the channel spacing, but can also create spurs that are at a fraction of the
channel spacing, if there is not sufficient filtering. The optimal choice of modulator order is very application specific, however, a
third order modulator is a good starting point if not sure what to try first.

2.4.4 DITHER -- Dithering
Dithering is useful in reducing fractional spurs, especially those that occur a a fraction of the channel spacing. The only exception
is when the fractional numerator is zero. In this case, dithering usually is not a benefit. Dithering also can sometimes increase the
PLL phase noise by a fraction of a dB. In general, if dithering is disabled, phase noise may be slightly better inside the loop bandwidth
of the system, but spurs are likely to be worse too.

2.4.5 FDM -- Fractional Denominator Mode
When this bit is set to 1, the 10 MSB bits for the fractional numerator and denominator are considered. This allows the fractional
denominator to range from 1 to 4,194,303. If this bit is set to zero, only the 12 LSB bits of the fractional numerator and denominator
are considered, and this allows a fractional denominator from 1 to 4095. When this bit is disabled, the current consumption is about
0.5 mA lower.
2.4.6 -- DIV2
When this bit is enabled on the appropriate option, the output of the VCO is divided by 2 on options that offer this feature. This has
a small impact on harmonic content and output power.

When this bit is set to 1 (default), the Digital LDO is powered up, otherwise it is powered down.
2.6.8 REG_RST -- RESETS ALL REGISTERS TO DEFAULT SETTINGS
This bit needs to be programmed three times to initialize the part. When this bit is set to one, all registers are set to default mode,
and the part is powered down. The second time the R5 register is programmed with REG_RST=0, the register reset is released
and the default states are still in the registers. However, since the default states for the blocks and LDOs is powered off, it is
therefore necessary to program R5 a third time so that all the LDOs and blocks can be programmed to a power up state. When
this bit is set to 1, all registers are set to the default modes, but part is powered down. For normal operation, this bit is set to 0.
Note that once this initialization is done, it is not necessary to initialize the part any more.
