UHF Band 2 Synthesizer Schematic Diagram
The Fractional-N Synthesizer uses a 16.8MHz crystal (FL201) to provide a reference for the system.
The LVFractN IC (U201) further divides this to 2.1MHz, 2.225MHz, and 2.4MHz as reference
frequencies. Together with C206, C207, C208, R204 and CR203 , they build up the reference
oscillator which is capable of 2.5ppm stability over temperatures of -30 to 85
°
C. It also provides
16.8MHz at pin 19 of U201 to be used by ASFIC and LVZIF.
The loop filter which consist of C231, C232, C233, R231, R232 and R233 provides the necessary dc
steering voltage for the VCO and determines the amount of noise and spur passing through .
In achieving fast locking for the synthesizer, an internal adapt charge pump provides higher current at
pin 45 of U201 to put synthesizer within the lock range. The required frequency is then locked by
normal mode charge pump at pin 43 .
Both the normal and adapt charge pumps get their supply from the capacitive voltage multiplier which
is made up of C258, C259, C228, triple diode CR201 and level shifters U210 and U211. Two 3.3V
square waves ( 180 deg out of phase) are first shifted to 5V, then along with regulated 5V , put
through arrays of diodes and capacitors to build up 13.3V at pin 47 of U201.
