PLL Frequency Synthesizer PMB 2306
PMB 2307
General Description
The PMB 2306, PMB 2307 PLL are high speed CMOS ICs
are especially designed for use in battery-powered radio
equipment and mobile telephones. The intended application
will be in GSM, PCN, DECT and other digital mobile systems.
The wide range of dividing ratios also allows application in
analog systems.
The circuit consists of a reference-, A- and N-counter, a
dual-modulus-control logic, a phase detector with charge
pump and a serial control logic. The setting of the operating
mode and the selection of the counter ratios is done serially
at the ports CLK, DA and EN.
The operating modes allow the selection of single or dual
operation, asynchronous or synchronous data acquisition,
4 different antibacklash-impulse times, 8 different PD-output
current modes, polarity setting of the PD-output signal,
adjustment of the trigger-edge of the MOD-output signal,
2 standby modes and the control of the multifunction outputs
MFO1 and MFO2.
The reference frequency is applied at the Rl input and scaled
down by the R-counter. Its maximum value is 50 MHz. The
VCO frequency is applied at the Fl input and scaled down by
the N- or N/A-counter according to single or dual-mode
operation. The maximum value at Fl is 220 MHz at single-,
and 65 MHz at dual-mode operation.
The phase detector is frequency and phase sensitive. It
produces a phase detector signal with adjustable anti-
backlash impulses in order to prevent a dead zone at very
small phase deviations. Phase differences smaller than
100 ps can therefore be resolved.
Programming of the IC is done by a serial data control. The
contents of the messages are assigned to the functional units
according to the destination address. Single or dual-mode
operation as well as asynchronous or synchronous data
acquisition is set by status 2 and should therefore precede
the programming of the counters.
The PMB 2306/PMB 2307 offer the possibility of
synchronous data acquisition to avoid error signals at the
phase detector due to non-corresponding dividing factors in
the counters produced by asynchronous loading.
Synchronous programming guarantees control during
changes of frequency or channel. That means that the state
of the phase detector or the phase difference is kept
maintained, and in case of “lock in”, the control process starts
with the phase difference “zero”.
Synchronous transmission is particularly advantageous
when large transfers in channel are to be made in a specific
short transient recovery time. For this purpose a larger
reference frequency is switched to in order to achieve rapid-
“rough”-transient response, increasing the bandwidth of the
loop at the time. When reaching the “quasi lock-in” state, the
reference frequency is switched back to its original values.
Adjustment to the “actual” value then takes place with the
usual transient response as for small transfers in channel.
The synchronous transmission ensures that no additional
phase errors arise due to the change of reference
frequencies.
The PMB 2306/2307 has two standby modes (standby1, 2)
to reduce the current consumption.
• Standby1 switches off the whole circuit, the current
consumption is reduced to below 1 µA.
• Standby2 switches off the counters, the charge pump and
the outputs, only the preamplifiers stay active.
The standby modes do not affect the port output signal. For
the influence on the other output signals see standby table.
