1.1 Receive Path
The IF input receives an input signal from IS136/AMPS filter. The differential input stage is followed by an agc
amplifier. Gain control is provided from an external analog voltage. After the agc amplifier the signal is then down-
converted to a low IF frequency and the signal flow then depends on the mode selected. All internal signals are
differential. The LO frequency for the down conversion is derived from an on chip oscillator and PLL. The LO
frequency can be programmed to be either oscillator frequency divided by 2 or 4. When in divide by 2 mode a DLL
(Delay Locked Loop) circuit can be selected to maintain accurate quadrature. It is particularly important to have
good quadrature in IS136/AMPS modes using a low IF frequency, to achieve the required image rejection in
conjunction with the following polyphase bandpass filter. It is also possible to programme high side or low LO
injection. Each receive mode will now be described in more detail

Table 1 - IS136 Receive Gain and Filter Distribution
The output of the agc amplifier is down-converted using a quadrature mixer to a low IF of 60 kHz. High side or low
side LO injection can be selected. The In Phase (I) and Quadrature (Q) signals at 60 kHz are then passed through
anti alias filter stage to remove any high frequency signals prior to subsequent sampling. The 60 kHz IF signals are
then fed into a switched capacitor polyphase bandpass filter which not only provides filtering but also provides
image rejection. This switched capacitor filter provides very stable performance and no calibration is required. After
the bandpass filter the 60 kHz IF signal is further amplified and then mixed down to baseband I and Q signals.
Additional filtering is required at baseband to remove spurii from the down-converter. This filtering is provide in two
stages, the first stage is a switched capacitor filter with the second stage being a smoothing filter to remove clock
breakthrough from the preceding switched capacitor filter. The differential baseband outputs can then be fed
directly into analog to digital converters on a baseband processor.

Table 2 - AMPS FM Receive Gain and Filter Distribution
The signal path is initially the same as for IS136 with the down conversion to 60 kHz and channel filtering in the
bandpass filter. In FM mode however, the baseband I and Q output stages are disabled, and the 60 kHz IF signal
from the bandpass filter is input to a limiting amplifier and FM discriminator. The FM discriminator consists of a shift
register acting as a delay line. The output of the discriminator is a digital signal which must then be filtered to
recover the audio signal. The discriminator output is therefore routed through the baseband I and Q filters. The
default condition is to use the cascaded I and Q smoothing filters (baseband filter 2) with the cut-off frequency set to
30 kHz. This connection is automatically selected when programming FM mode. There is an option to use the
cascaded switched capacitor filters (baseband filter 1) with the cut off frequency set to 25 kHz to provide extra
filtering. These filters are selected using the PDF and LPC bits in control register 6 and are inserted between the
smoothing filters as shown in Figure 5. The final output stage uses external feedback components to provide a
bandpass filter with a bandwidth of at least 300 Hz to 10 KHz to cover the demodulated audio and control signals.
The feedback components can be modified to change the output level to optimize compatibility with baseband.
11
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
ZL20200
Data Sheet
A RSSI output is provided. This is a full wave rectified output of the 60 kHz IF and therefore has a high 120 kHz
content. This requires an external low pass filter - typically 10 kohm and 2.7 nF. There is a trade-off between
settling time and filtering. This is different to conventional RSSI circuits which operate at typically 450 kHz which is
much easier to filter.
Although the AMPS receive path includes a limiting amplifier, gain control is also required. This is because the band
pass filter has limited dynamic range (50 dB). At low signal levels the agc should be set to 1.6 volts to set the gain
20 dB below maximum to obtain optimum signal handling and noise performance. At higher signal levels the gain
setting should be reduced to maintain the RSSI level approximately 10 dB below maximum. Gain control would be
provided by the baseband controller which would also monitor the RSSi level. Fine gain control is not required and
can be implemented in large steps e.g. 20 dB, allowing the use of a relatively slow gain control loop giving optimum
performance under fading conditions.

first stage gain be set from -6 to +3 dB in 3 dB steps. Output stage
current is controlled by agc signal to reduce current consumption at low
output power levels. Each output stage requires an external
degeneration inductor
Table 3 - Transmit Circuit blocks
Differential baseband transmit I and Q signals from a baseband processor are input to the ZL20200. The baseband
signals are passed through filters. A quadrature modulator modulates these baseband signals on to the transmit IF
which is typically around 200 MHz. This modulated IF signal is passed through an on chip low pass filter which
removes harmonics of the IF and then into a gain controlled amplifier. This amplifier is controlled by an external
analog signal and provides greater than 60 dB gain control The output of the gain controlled amplifier can then be
up-converted to RF or alternatively the output can be sent to an off chip filter to provide further filtering and removal
of noise before up-conversion. This filter is a parallel tuned circuit as shown in Figure 7. The choice of component
values is dependent on the IF frequency being used. The filter output is then fed back on chip to the up-converter. A
SSB mixer is used for the up-conversion to remove the unwanted image. High side or low side LO injection can be
selected.
A buffer amplifier after the up-conversion provides a further 9 dB gain control in 3 dB increments. This gain is
programmable via the serial bus and can be used to optimize noise and linearity performance in particular
applications. Finally there are two RF output stages for 900 MHz and 1900 MHz frequency bands. Each RF output
is single ended and requires a simple matching network. The supply current of the output stages is automatically
reduced at low transmit gain control voltages improving the efficiency of the output buffer at low output power
levels. The supply current of the output buffer can also be controlled via the serial bus. This allows the supply
current to be reduced which is particularly useful when using AMPS where the linearity performance is less critical.
The FM modulation for AMPS can be done using I,Q modulation if available. Alternatively FM modulation can be
applied direct to the transmit IF VCO. The loop bandwidth for the transmit VHF PLL should be low (~100 Hz) to
ensure the PLL does not remove the modulation. A dc voltage should be applied across the Tx I+, Tx I- and the Tx
Q+, Tx Q- inputs to switch the modulator and generate an IF carrier signal. With a baseband gain of 0 dB a dc
voltage of at least 1.5 volts should be applied; a lower voltage can be used with the baseband gain increased to
compensate. It is assumed that this bias can be provided by the baseband however if this is not possible then the
simplest solution is to connect 200 kohm resistors between I+, Q+ inputs and Vcc and 200 kohm resistors between
I-, Q- inputs and ground, assuming the transmit outputs from the baseband are in a high impedance state in AMPS

mode. These resistors do produce a small dc offset in TDMA mode when the I and Q inputs are in use, however
this is insignificant if the output impedance of baseband transmit outputs is less than 1 kohm. As the FM modulation
is applied direct to the VCO in this mode and is external to the ZL20200, any necessary filtering of the FM signal
must be provided externally.

1.3 UHF LO and Frequency Doubler
Figure 7 also shows the UHF LO buffering and frequency doubler. The ZL20200 is designed to operate either with
separate external UHF VCOs for the 900 and 1900 MHz frequency bands, or alternatively a single 900 MHz VCO
can be used with the on-chip frequency doubler providing the LO for the 1900 MHz band. A UHF synthesizer is
included. The input to the UHF synthesizer will normally be the active UHF LO signal, however when using the
frequency doubler mode for 1900 MHz LO generation, the synthesizer input can be selected to be either the
frequency doubler output or the 900 MHz input LO signal. The UHF LO input buffer minimizes any load pulling
effects on the UHF VCO when internal modes are switched.
UHF LO output buffers are also provided. These can be used to drive an external mixer for the receive section. If
not required these buffers can be powered down.
1.4 UHF Frequency Synthesizer
A fractional N UHF synthesizer is included on the ZL20200 to provide LO signals for the transmit up-converter and
the external receive RF down-converters. The UHF synthesizer operates with an external VCO. A block diagram of
the synthesizer is shown in Figure 8.

Data Sheet
The synthesizer uses a 4 modulus prescaler with an 'M' counter and 'A' and 'B' swallow counters together with a
fractional N counter in the UHF counter allowing maximum flexibility. The reference counter is a simple 14 bit
counter. All counter values are programmed via the serial bus and programming details are shown in the
programming section. Each of the counters operates as count down. At the start of a count the counters are loaded
with their respective values. The initial prescaler ratio is dependent on the values loaded into the A and B counters;
when both the A and B counters reach zero the prescaler ratio is 64 and then remains until the M counter reaches
zero. The complete process is then repeated.
This can be shown in a simple example where M = 9, A = 4 and B = 2 which gives a total divide ratio of 596. The
count sequence is shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9 - Count Sequence for UHF PLL with 4 Modulus Prescaler
At the start of the count sequence the '+1' and '+8' controls to the prescaler are both asserted and the prescaler
ratio is 73. After 2 cycles only the '+1' control is asserted and the divide ratio is 65. After a further 2 cycles the A
counter reaches zero as well and the prescaler ratio is 64 for the remainder of the count sequence. At the end of the
sequence all counters are reloaded and the sequence repeats.
The total divide ratio (N) for this type of counter is given by
N = 64*M + 8*B + A
M is always greater then A or B
A value of A = 0 does not support fractional N operation. Valid values of A are 1 to 8.
The values of M, B and A can be easily calculated from the total divide ratio as shown below.
M = INT ((N - 1)/64)
B = INT (((N - 1) - 64*M)/8)
A = N - 64*M - 8*B
The value of M must always be greater than A or B.
The maximum value of B is 7.

Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
ZL20200
Data Sheet
The UHF synthesizer also includes a fractional N capability which allows the use of higher comparison frequencies
but maintain narrow channel spacing. The use of higher comparison frequencies allows faster loop settling and
reduces comparison spur level. This is particularly important in TDMA mode where settling times of < 1.5 ms are
required and still obtain good spur performance.
Fractional N allows the use of non-integer divide ratios. For example if the total divide ratio is N + 1/5 the counter
will divide by N for 4 count cycles and N+1 on the fifth cycle giving the required total divide ratio over five cycles.
The ZL20200 can use 5,8,13 or 20 as the fractional denominator (also referred to as the fractional modulus)
allowing maximum flexibility in the choice of comparison frequencies.
An extra counter - fractional N counter - is required. The input to this counter is from the M counter output. The
fractional N modulus can be programmed to be 5,8,13, or 20. Each output pulse from the M counter will increment
the fractional N divided by the required fractional numerator. For example if the fraction is 2/5 then the fractional N
counter will increment by 2 for each output pulse from the M counter. When the fractional N counter overflows the A
counter is incremented by 1, thus generating an additional '+1' count sequence.
An example is shown in Figure 10 for a divide ratio of 596+2/5. The values for M, A, B are calculated using the
integer value (596) as in the previous example. The fractional denominator is programmed as 5 and the fractional
numerator as 2. At the end of the first count cycle (596) the fractional counter is incremented to 2. At the end of the
third count cycle the fractional N counter overflows, incrementing the A counter by 1 which gives a subsequent
count cycle of 597. After five count cycles the sequence repeats with a total count of 2982 over the five count cycle
giving a mean value of 596 + 2/5.

Figure 10 - UHF Synthesizer - Fractional N Operation
A result of this count sequence is that the output phase of the total counter changes through the count cycle, which
causes the output pulse from the phase detector, and therefore the charge pump, to vary. This would cause large
fractional spurs on the synthesizer output. These spurs can be compensated by applying a current pulse with the
opposite polarity to the charge pump output. This compensation pulse has a fixed width of two reference clock
(TCXO) periods; the amplitude is proportional to the value in the fractional N counter. The correction current is
scaled by a 8 bit compensation DAC, with an externally provided input from the serial bus. This allows performance
to be optimized in a given application.
The compensation value can be calculated from the following formula:
Comp Value = 255 - INT((Icp * Ftcxo)/(0.0245 * 6 * MOD *Fvco))
where
Icp
= charge pump current (uA)

Ftcxo = Reference frequency
MOD = Fractional Modulus
Fvco = UHF VCO Frequency
The synthesizer provides a lock detect output. When the output pulse from the phase detector is less than half a
reference clock period an in-lock signal is generated. These in-lock signals then clock a 4 bit counter into which a
threshold value has been programmed. When the required number of successive in-lock pulses have been
generated the lock detect output is set.
The ZL20200 has a single lock detect output pin for the UHF synthesizer and VHF synthesizers. The lock detect
signal is asserted when all active synthesizers are in lock. If a synthesizer has not been enabled in the power
control registers then that synthesizer will be inactive and will have no effect on the lock detect output.
1.5 VHF Frequency Synthesizers
The ZL20200 includes two VHF synthesizers to generate the second LO for the receiver and the transmit IF. They
operate with their respective on-chip VHF VCO's and off-chip loop filters. The tank circuits and tuning components
for the VCO's are also off chip.
The two synthesizers are identical and are shown in Figure 11.

The synthesizer uses a 2 modulus 16/17 prescaler with an 'M' counter and an 'A' swallow counter. This allows
maximum flexibility when using this synthesizer. The reference counter is a simple 14 bit counter. All counter values
are programmed via the serial bus and programming details are shown in the programming section. Both counters
operate as count down. At the start of a count the counters are loaded with their respective values. The initial
prescaler ratio is 17 assuming A > 0; when the A counter reaches zero the prescaler ratio is 16 until the M counter
reaches zero. The complete process is then repeated.
The total divide ratio (N) for this type of counter is given by
N = 16*M + A
M is always greater then A
The values of M and A can be easily calculated from the total divide ratio N.
M = INT (N/16)
A = N - 16*M
19
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.

Data Sheet
The maximum value for A is 15 and M must always be greater than A. The VHF PLLs do not have fractional N
capability however it is recommended that they are operated at as high a comparison frequency as allowed by the
chosen frequency plan to minimize spurs levels.
Both VHF synthesizers have lock detection circuits. These operate in the same way as described for the UHF
synthesizer.
1.6 Internal Clock Generation
ZL20200 can use 14.4 MHz or 19.44 MHz reference frequency. The appropriate reference must be programmed
via the serial bus. The clock signals for the switched capacitor filters and FM demodulator are generated from the
reference TCXO signal. The internal divide ratios are switched to give the correct ratio.

Enable1 and Enable2 need only be asserted after loading registers 0 to 3, the power control registers. These
registers should be loaded with Enable1 and Enable2 low. All other registers can be loaded with Enable1 and
Enable2 high or low.
2.1 Power Control Registers - Address 0 to 3
These registers are used in conjunction with the TX RXB and ENABLE1 and ENABLE2 control pins to power up the
required sections of the device for any required mode. This enables power consumption to be optimized under all
conditions. Figures 4 - 7, which show the receive and transmit paths in detail, show which sections are powered up
by each control bit.

The 4 registers address 0 to 3 are assigned as follows:
Register
Address
Register
Name
Description
0
Receive
All circuit blocks required in receive mode should be set to 1. This register will be
selected when TX RXB is low. No circuits will be actually powered up if ENABLE1
and ENABLE 2 are both low.
1
Transmit
Transmit register All circuit blocks required in transmit mode should be set to 1. In
duplex modes e.g. AMPS then both receive and transmit circuits must be selected.
This register will be selected when TX RXB is high. No circuits will be actually
powered up if ENABLE1 and ENABLE 2 are both low
2
3
ENABLE1
This register determines which circuit sections are powered up when ENABLE1 is
Configuration high. The contents of this register are logical ANDed with the contents of the
Receive or Transmit register as selected by TX RXB input.
ENABLE2
This register determines which circuit sections are powered up when ENABLE2 is
Configuration high. The contents of this register are logical ANDed with the contents of the
Receive or Transmit register as selected by TX RXB input.
Table 6 - Power Control Register Functions
A feature of this programming approach is that once a phone operating mode has been selected and set up via the
serial bus, all power control can then be via the TX RXB, ENABLE1 and ENABLE2 control pins. Alternatively full
power control is possible via the 3 wire serial bus without the use of any external control pins.
If ENABLE1 and ENABLE2 are both low then the device is in Sleep mode. No circuits will be enabled unless either
ENABLE1 or ENABLE2 are high regardless of the contents of the receive and transmit registers.
An example of how these control bits can be used, is that the oscillators and PLL circuits can be powered up and
allowed to settle prior to powering up the complete transmit or receive path. In the case of the receive path the UHF
synthesizer, UHF LO input buffer, UHF LO Buffer and Receive VHF VCO, Receive VHF PLL bits would be set in the
ENABLE1 Configuration register. The ENABLE2 Configuration register would contain these bits plus the remainder
of the receive path bits, Receive IF input, Receive AGC amplifier, Receive quadrature down-converter and receive
baseband section.
This is demonstrated in the following examples.
2.1.1 Power Control Modes - TDMA (IS136)
In a TDMA system the transceiver will either operate in receive only, or transmit only mode. It is assumed that an
interim power on state will be used during which the oscillators and PLLs will be set up, and allowed to settle prior
to activating the full signal path. The suggested programming for the power control registers (0 - 3) is shown in the
table below.

2.13.2 PLL Lock detect counters
These 4 bit counters count the consecutive comparison cycles where the lock detect circuit gives an in-lock result.
When the counter reaches its programmed count then that PLL is deemed to have achieved full lock. This prevents
spurious false in-lock signals while the PLL is achieving lock up. There are separate counters for the UHF, Rx VHF
and Tx VHF PLLs which are programmed as shown above. Bits 15,11,7 are the MSB's for the UHF, Rx VHF and Tx
VHF PLL lock detector counters respectively. A non zero value must be programmed for the lock detect to operate
correctly.
