General Description  
Features  
n Ultra Low Current Consumption  
The LMX233xU devices are high performance frequency  
synthesizers with integrated dual modulus prescalers. The  
LMX233xU devices are designed for use as RF and IF local  
oscillators for dual conversion radio transceivers.  
n Upgrade and Compatible to LMX233xL Family  
n 2.7V to 5.5V Operation  
n Selectable Synchronous or Asynchronous Powerdown  
Mode:  
ICC-PWDN = 1 µA typical  
n Selectable Dual Modulus Prescaler:  
A 32/33 or a 64/65 prescale ratio can be selected for the 2.5  
GHz LMX2330U RF synthesizer. A 64/65 or a 128/129 pres-  
cale ratio can be selected for both the LMX2331U and  
LMX2332U RF synthesizers. The IF circuitry contains an 8/9  
or a 16/17 prescaler. Using a proprietary digital phase locked  
loop technique, the LMX233xU devices generate very  
stable, low noise control signals for RF and IF voltage con-  
trolled oscillators. Both the RF and IF synthesizers include a  
two-level programmable charge pump. The RF synthesizer  
has dedicated Fastlock circuitry.

The block diagram above illustrates the setup required to

rent. The same setup is used for the LMX2330TMEB/  
LMX2330SLEEB Evaluation Boards. The IF charge pump  
measurement setup is similar to the RF charge pump mea-  
surement setup. The purpose of this test is to assess the  
functionality of the RF charge pump.

1X and 4X in Code Loader.  
Let Fr represent the frequency of the signal applied to the  
OSCin pin, which is simply zero in this case (DC), and let Fp  
represent the frequency of the signal applied to the fIN RF  
pin. The phase detector is sensitive to the rising edges of Fr  
and Fp. Assuming positive VCO characteristics; the charge  
pump turns ON and sinks current when the first rising edge  
of Fp is detected. Since Fr has no rising edge, the charge  
pump continues to sink current indefinitely.  
This setup uses an open loop configuration. A power supply  
is connected to Vcc and swept from 2.7V to 5.5V. By means  
of a signal generator, a 10 MHz signal is typically applied to  
the fIN RF pin. The signal is one of two inputs to the phase  
detector. The 3 dB pad provides a 50 match between the

LMX233xU fIN Sensitivity Test Setup  
10136640  
The block diagram above illustrates the setup required to  
measure the LMX233xU device’s RF input sensitivity level.  
The same setup is used for the LMX2330TMEB/  
LMX2330SLEEB Evaluation Boards. The IF input sensitivity  
test setup is similar to the RF sensitivity test setup. The  
purpose of this test is to measure the acceptable signal level  
to the fIN RF input of the PLL chip. Outside the acceptable  
signal range, the feedback divider begins to divide incor-  
rectly and miscount the frequency.  
selecting the RF PLL N Divider Output word (FoLD Word =  
6 or 14) in Code Loader. A Universal Counter is connected to  
the FoLD pin and tied to the 10 MHz reference output of the  
signal generator. The output of the feedback divider is thus  
monitored and should be equal to fIN RF / N.  
The fIN RF input frequency and power level are then swept  
with the signal generator. The measurements are repeated  
at different temperatures, namely TA = -40˚C, +25˚C, and  
+85˚C. Sensitivity is reached when the frequency error of the  
divided RF input is greater than or equal to 1 Hz. The power  
attenuation from the cable and the 3 dB pad must be ac-  
counted for. The feedback divider will actually miscount if too  
much or too little power is applied to the fIN RF input.  
Therefore, the allowed input power level will be bounded by  
the upper and lower sensitivity limits. In a typical application,  
if the power level to the fIN RF input approaches the sensi-  
tivity limits, this can introduce spurs and degradation in  
phase noise. When the power level gets even closer to these  
limits, or exceeds it, then the RF PLL loses lock.  
The setup uses an open loop configuration. A power supply  
is connected to Vcc and swept from 2.7V to 5.5V. The IF PLL  
is powered down (PWDN IF Bit = 1). By means of a signal  
generator, an RF signal is applied to the fIN RF pin. The 3 dB  
pad provides a 50 match between the PLL and the signal  
generator. The OSCin pin is tied to Vcc. The N value is  
typically set to 10000 in Code Loader, i.e. RF N_CNTRB  
Word = 156 and RF N_CNTRA Word = 16 for PRE RF Bit =  
1 (LMX2330U) or PRE RF = 0 (LMX2331U and LMX2332U).

The block diagram above illustrates the setup required to  
measure the LMX233xU device’s OSCin buffer sensitivity  
level. The same setup is used for the LMX2330TMEB/  
LMX2330SLEEB Evaluation Boards. This setup is similar to  
the fIN sensitivity setup except that the signal generator is  
now connected to the OSCin pin and both fIN pins are tied to  
VCC. The 51 shunt resistor matches the OSCin input to the  
signal generator. The R counter is typically set to 1000, i.e.  
RF R_CNTR Word = 1000 or IF R_CNTR Word = 1000. The  
reference divider output is routed to the FoLD pin by select-  
ing the RF PLL R Divider Output word (FoLD Word = 2 or  
10) or the IF PLL R Divider Output word (FoLD Word = 1 or  
9) in Code Loader. Similarly, a Universal Counter is con-  
nected to the FoLD pin and is tied to the 10 MHz reference  
output from the signal generator. The output of the reference  
divider is monitored and should be equal to OSCin/ RF  
R_CNTR or OSCin/ IF R_CNTR.  
Again, VCC is swept from 2.7V to 5.5V. The OSCin input  
frequency and voltage level are then swept with the signal  
generator. The measurements are repeated at different tem-  
peratures, namely TA = -40˚C, +25˚C, and +85˚C. Sensitivity  
is reached when the frequency error of the divided input  
signal is greater than or equal to 1 Hz.

Test Setups (Continued)  
LMX233xU fIN Impedance Test Setup  
10136679  
The block diagram above illustrates the setup required to  
measure the LMX233xU device’s RF input impedance. The  
IF input impedance and reference oscillator impedance set-  
ups are very much similar. The same setup is used for the  
LMX2330TMEB/ LMX2330SLEEB Evaluation Boards. Mea-  
suring the device’s input impedance facilitates the design of  
appropriate matching networks to match the PLL to the VCO,  
or in more critical situations, to the characteristic impedance  
of the printed circuit board (PCB) trace, to prevent undesired  
transmission line effects.  
must be included in the calibration. Although not shown, 0 Ω  
resistors are used to complete the RF OUT transmission line  
(trace).  
To implement an open standard, the end of the RF OUT  
trace is simply left open. To implement a short standard, a 0  
resistor is placed at the end of the RF OUT transmission  
line. Last of all, to implement a matched load standard, two  
100 resistors in parallel are placed at the end of the RF  
OUT transmission line. The Network Analyzer calculates the  
calibration coefficients based on the measured S11 param-  
eters. With this all done, calibration is now complete.  
Before the actual measurements are taken, the Network  
Analyzer needs to be calibrated, i.e. the error coefficients  
need to be calculated. Therefore, three standards will be  
used to calculate these coefficients: an open, short and a  
matched load. A 1-port calibration is implemented here.  
The PLL chip is then placed on the PCB. A power supply is  
connected to VCC and swept from 2.7V to 5.5V. The OSCin  
pin is tied to the ground plane. Alternatively, the OSCin pin  
can be tied to VCC. In this setup, the complementary input  
(fIN RF) is AC coupled to ground. With the Network Analyzer  
still connected to RF OUT, the measured fIN RF impedance  
is displayed.  
To calculate the coefficients, the PLL chip is first removed  
from the PCB. The Network Analyzer port is then connected  
to the RF OUT connector of the evaluation board and the  
desired operating frequency is set. The typical frequency  
range selected for the LMX233xU device’s RF synthesizer is  
from 100 MHz to 2500 MHz. The standards will be located  
down the length of the RF OUT transmission line. The trans-  
mission line adds electrical length and acts as an offset from  
the reference plane of the Network Analyzer; therefore, it  
Note: The impedance of the reference oscillator is measured  
when the oscillator buffer is powered up (PWDN RF Bit = 0  
or PWDN IF Bit = 0), and when the oscillator buffer is  
powered down (PWDN RF Bit = 1 and PWDN IF Bit = 1).

1.0 Functional Description  
The basic phase-lock-loop (PLL) configuration consists of a  
high-stability crystal reference oscillator, a frequency synthe-  
sizer such as the National Semiconductor LMX233xU, a  
voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and a passive loop filter.  
The frequency synthesizer includes a phase detector, cur-  
rent mode charge pump, programmable reference R and  
feedback N frequency dividers. The VCO frequency is es-  
tablished by dividing the crystal reference signal down via  
the reference divider to obtain a comparison reference fre-  
quency. This reference signal, Fr, is then presented to the  
input of a phase/frequency detector and compared with the  
feedback signal, Fp, which was obtained by dividing the VCO  
frequency down by way of the feedback divider. The phase/  
frequency detector measures the phase error between the Fr  
and Fp signals and outputs control signals that are directly  
proportional to the phase error. The charge pump then  
pumps charge into or out of the loop filter based on the  
magnitude and direction of the phase error. The loop filter  
converts the charge into a stable control voltage for the  
VCO. The phase/frequency detector’s function is to adjust  
the voltage presented to the VCO until the feedback signal’s  
frequency and phase match that of the reference signal.  
When this “Phase-Locked” condition exists, the VCO fre-  
quency will be N times that of the comparison frequency,  
where N is the feedback divider ratio.  
LMX2331U and LMX2332U RF synthesizers. The IF circuitry  
contains an 8/9 or a 16/17 prescaler.  
1.4 PROGRAMMABLE FEEDBACK DIVIDERS (N  
COUNTERS)  
The programmable feedback dividers operate in concert with  
the prescalers to divide the input signal, fIN, by a factor of N.  
The output of the programmable reference divider is pro-  
vided to the feedback input of the phase detector circuit. The  
divide ratio should be chosen such that the maximum phase  
comparison frequency (FφRF or FφIF) of 10 MHz is not ex-  
ceeded.  
The programmable feedback divider circuit is comprised of  
an A counter (swallow counter) and a B counter (program-  
mble binary counter). The RF N_CNTRA counter is a 7-bit  
CMOS swallow counter, programmable from 0 to 127. The IF  
N_CNTRA counter is also a 7-bit CMOS swallow counter,  
but programmable from 0 to 15. The three most significant  
bits are ’don’t cares’ in this case. The RF N_CNTRB and IF  
N_CNTRB counters are both 11-bit CMOS binary counters,  
programmable from 3 to 2047. A continuous integer divide  
*
ratio is achieved if N P (P−1), where P is the value of the  
prescaler selected. Divide ratios less than the minimum con-  
tinuous divide ratio are achievable as long as the binary  
programmable counter value is greater than the swallow  
counter value (N_CNTRB N_CNTRA). Refer to Sections  
2.5.1, 2.5.2, 2.7.1 and 2.7.2 for details on how to program  
the N_CNTRA and N_CNTRB counters. The following equa-  
tions are useful in determining and programming a particular  
value of N:  
1.1 REFERENCE OSCILLATOR INPUT  
The reference oscillator frequency for both the RF and IF  
PLLs is provided from an external reference via the OSCin  
pin. The reference buffer circuit supports input frequencies  
from 5 to 40 MHz with a minimum input sensitivity of 0.5 VPP  
.
N = (P x N_CNTRB) + N_CNTRA  
fIN = N x Fφ  
The reference buffer circuit has an approximate VCC/2 input  
threshold and can be driven from an external CMOS or TTL  
logic gate. Typically, the OSCin pin is connected to the output  
of a crystal oscillator.

1.2 REFERENCE DIVIDERS (R COUNTERS)  
fIN  
:
RF or IF input frequency  
The reference dividers divide the reference input signal,  
OSCin, by a factor of R. The output of the reference divider  
circuits feeds the reference input of the phase detector. This  
reference input to the phase detector is often referred to as  
the comparison frequency. The divide ratio should be chosen  
such that the maximum phase comparison frequency (FφRF  
or FφIF) of 10 MHz is not exceeded.

LMX2332U RF synthesizer: P = 64 or 128  
LMX233xU IF synthesizer: P = 8 or 16  
The RF and IF reference dividers are each comprised of  
15-bit CMOS binary counters that support a continuous in-  
teger divide ratio from 3 to 32767. The RF and IF reference  
divider circuits are clocked by the output of the reference  
buffer circuit which is common to both.  
1.5 PHASE/FREQUENCY DETECTORS  
The RF and IF phase/frequency detectors are driven from  
their respective N and R counter outputs. The maximum  
frequency for both the RF and IF phase detector inputs is 10  
MHz. The phase/frequency detector outputs control the re-  
spective charge pumps. The polarity of the pump-up or  
pump-down control signals are programmed using the PD-  
_POL RF or PD_POL IF control bits, depending on whether  
the RF or IF VCO characteristics are positive or negative.  
Refer to Sections 2.4.2 and 2.6.2 for more details. The  
phase/frequency detectors have a detection range of −2π to  
+2π. The phase/frequency detectors also receive a feedback  
signal from the charge pump in order to eliminate dead zone.  
1.3 PRESCALERS  
The fIN RF (fIN IF) and fIN RF (fIN IF) input pins drive the input  
of a bipolar, differential-pair amplifier. The output of the bi-  
polar, differential-pair amplifier drives a chain of ECL D-type  
flip-flops in a dual modulus configuration. The output of the  
prescaler is used to clock the subsequent feedback dividers.  
The RF and IF PLL complementary inputs can be driven  
differentially, or the negative input can be AC coupled to  
ground through an external capacitor for single ended con-  
figuration. A 32/33 or a 64/65 prescale ratio can be selected  
for the 2.5 GHz LMX2330U RF synthesizer. A 64/65 or a  
128/129 prescale ratio can be selected for both the

1.6 CHARGE PUMPS  
1.8 MULTI-FUNCTION OUTPUTS  
The charge pump directs charge into or out of an external  
loop filter. The loop filter converts the charge into a stable  
control voltage which is applied to the tuning input of the  
VCO. The charge pump steers the VCO control voltage  
towards VP RF or VP IF during pump-up events and towards  
GND during pump-down events. When locked, Do RF or Do  
IF are primarily in a TRI-STATE mode with small corrections  
occuring at the phase comparator rate. The charge pump  
output current magnitude can be selected by toggling the IDo  
RF or IDo IF control bits.  
The LMX233xU device’s FoLD output pin is a multi-function  
output that can be configured as the RF FastLock output, a  
push-pull analog lock detect output, counter reset, or used to  
monitor the output of the various reference divider (R  
counter) or feedback divider (N counter) circuits. The FoLD  
control word is used to select the desired output function.  
When the PLL is in powerdown mode, the FoLD output is  
pulled to a LOW state. A complete programming description  
of the multi-function output is provided in Section 2.8 FoLD.  
1.8.1 Push-Pull Analog Lock Detect Output  
1.7 MICROWIRE SERIAL INTERFACE  
An analog lock detect status generated from the phase  
detector is available on the FoLD output pin if selected. The  
lock detect output goes HIGH when the charge pump is  
inactive. It goes LOW when the charge pump is active during  
a comparison cycle. When viewed with an oscilloscope,  
narrow negative pulses are observed when the charge pump  
turns on. The lock detect output signal is a push-pull con-  
figuration.  
The programmable register set is accessed via the MI-  
CROWIRE serial interface. The interface is comprised of  
three signal pins: Clock, Data and LE (Latch Enable). Serial  
data is clocked into the 22-bit shift register on the rising edge  
of Clock. The last two bits decode the internal control regis-  
ter address. When LE transitions HIGH, data stored in the  
shift register is loaded into one of four control registers  
depending on the state of the address bits. The MSB of Data  
is loaded in first. The synthesizers can be programmed even  
in power down mode. A complete programming description  
is provided in Section 2.0 Programming Description.  
Three separate lock detect signals are routed to the multi-  
plexer. Two of these monitor the ‘lock’ status of the individual  
synthesizers. The third detects the condition when both the  
RF and IF synthesizers are in a ‘locked state’. External  
circuitry however, is required to provide a steady DC signal  
to indicate when the PLL is in a locked state. Refer to  
Section 2.8 FoLD for details on how to program the different  
lock detect options.

1.0 Functional Description (Continued)  
1.8.2 Open Drain FastLock Output  
The LMX233xU Fastlock feature allows faster loop response  
time during lock aquisition. The loop response time (lock  
time) can be approximately halved if the loop bandwidth is  
doubled. In order to achieve this, the same gain/ phase  
relationship at twice the loop bandwidth must be maintained.  
This can be achieved by increasing the charge pump current  
from 0.95 mA (IDo RF Bit = 0) in the steady state mode, to  
3.8 mA (IDo RF Bit = 1) in Fastlock. When the FoLD output is  
configured as a FastLock output, an open drain device is  
enabled. The open drain device switches in a parallel resis-  
tor R2’ to ground, of equal value to resistor R2 of the external  
loop filter. The loop bandwidth is effectively doubled and  
stability is maintained. Once locked to the correct frequency,  
the PLL will return to a steady state condition. Refer to  
Section 2.8 FoLD for details on how to configure the FoLD  
output to an open drain Fastlock output.  
1.9 POWER CONTROL  
Each synthesizer in the LMX233xU device is individually  
power controlled by device powerdown bits. The powerdown  
word is comprised of the PWDN RF (PWDN IF) bit, in  
conjuction with the TRI-STATE IDo RF (TRI-STATE IDo IF)  
bit. The powerdown control word is used to set the operating  
mode of the device. Refer to Sections 2.4.4, 2.5.4, 2.6.4,  
and 2.7.4 for details on how to program the RF or IF power-  
down bits.  
When either the RF synthesizer or the IF synthesizer enters  
the powerdown mode, the respective prescaler, phase de-  
tector, and charge pump circuit are disabled. The Do RF (Do  
IF), fIN RF (fIN IF), and fIN RF (fIN IF) pins are all forced to a  
high impedance state. The reference divider and feedback  
divider circuits are held at the load point during powerdown.  
The oscillator buffer is disabled when both the RF and IF  
synthesizers are powered down. The OSCin pin is forced to  
a HIGH state through an approximate 100 kresistance  
when this condition exists. When either synthesizer is acti-  
vated, the respective prescaler, phase detector, charge  
pump circuit, and the oscillator buffer are all powered up.  
The feedback divider, and the reference divider are held at  
load point. This allows the reference oscillator, feedback  
divider, reference divider and prescaler circuitry to reach  
proper bias levels. After a finite delay, the feedback and  
reference dividers are enabled and they resume counting in  
‘close’ alignment (the maximum error is one prescaler cycle).  
The MICROWIRE control register remains active and ca-  
pable of loading and latching data while in the powerdown  
mode.  
1.8.3 Counter Reset  
Three separate counter reset functions are provided. When  
the FoLD is programmed to Reset IF Counters, both the IF  
feedback divider and the IF reference divider are held at their  
load point. When the Reset RF Counters is programmed,  
both the RF feedback divider and the RF reference divider  
are held at their load point. When the Reset All Counters  
mode is enabled, all feedback dividers and reference divid-  
ers are held at their load point. When the device is pro-  
grammed to normal operation, both the feedback divider and  
reference divider are enabled and resume counting in ‘close’  
alignment to each other. Refer to Section 2.8 FoLD for more  
details.  
1.8.4 Reference Divider and Feedback Divider Output  
Synchronous Powerdown Mode  
The outputs of the various N and R dividers can be moni-  
tored by selecting the appropriate FoLD word. This is essen-  
tial when performing OSCin or fIN sensitivity measurements.  
Refer to the Test Setups section for more details. Refer to  
Section 2.8 FoLD for more details on how to route the  
appropriate divider output to the FoLD pin.  
In this mode, the powerdown function is gated by the charge  
pump. When the device is configured for synchronous pow-  
erdown, the device will enter the powerdown mode upon  
completion of the next charge pump pulse event.  
Asynchronous Powerdown Mode  
In this mode, the powerdown function is NOT gated by the  
completion of a charge pump pulse event. When the device  
is configured for asynchronous powerdown, the part will go  
into powerdown mode immediately.

2.1 MICROWIRE INTERFACE  
The 22-bit shift register is loaded via the MICROWIRE interface. The shift register consists of a 20-bit Data[19:0] Field and a 2-bit  
Address[1:0] Field as shown below. The Address Field is used to decode the internal control register address. When LE  
transitions HIGH, data stored in the shift register is loaded into one of 4 control registers depending on the state of the address  
bits. The MSB of Data is loaded in first. The Data Field assignments are shown in Section 2.3 CONTROL REGISTER CONTENT
