Description
The STMicroelectronics STW82103B is an integrated down converter providing 8 dB of gain,
10.5 dB NF, and a very high input linearity by means of its passive mixer.
Embedding two wide band auto calibrating VCOs and an integer-N synthesizer, the STW82103B is suitable for both Rx and Tx requirements for
Cellular infrastructure equipment.
The integrated RF balun and internal matching permit direct 50 ohm single-ended interface to RF port. The IF output is suitable for driving 200-ohm impedance filters.
By embedding a DAC with dual current output to drive an external PIN diode attenuator, the
STW82103B replaces several costly discrete components and offers a significant footprint reduction.
The STW82103B device is designed with
STMicroelectronics advanced 0.35 µm
SiGe process. Its performance is specified over a
-40 °C to +85 °C temperature range.

STW82103B General description
The STW82103B (see Figure 1: STW82103B block diagram on page 7
) consists of a high linearity passive CMOS mixer with integrated RF balun, an IF amplifier, a 10-bit current steering DAC with dual output, and an integrated integer-N synthesizer.
The synthesizer embeds 2 internal low-noise VCOs with buffer blocks, a divider by 2, a low noise PFD (Phase Frequency Detector), a precise charge pump, a 10-bit programmable reference divider, two programmable counters and a dual-modulus prescaler. The A-counter
(5 bits) and B counter (12 bits) counters, in conjunction with the dual modulus prescaler
P/P+1 (16/17 or 19/20), implement an N integer divider, where N = B*P+A.
The device is controlled through a digital interface (
All internal devices operate with a power supply of 3.3 V except for the IF Amplifier output stage and the mixer driver stage operating at 5 V power supply in order to maximize the linearity performance. If the application requires a reduced linearity and noise figure performance the device is programmed in a low-current mode by using the minimum LO amplitude and the minimum biasing current in the IF amplifier. In low-current mode operation the device can use only the 3.3 V power supply thus dissipating less power.
8.1.1 Reference stage
The reference input stage is shown in
Figure 9 . The resistor network feeds a DC bias at the

General description STW82103B
8.1.3 Prescaler
The dual-modulus prescaler P/P+1 takes the CML clock from the VCO buffer and divides it down to a manageable frequency for the CMOS A and B counters. The modulus (P) is programmable and can be set to 16 or 19. It is based on a synchronous 4/5 core which division ratio depends on the state of the modulus input.
8.1.4
The 10-bit programmable reference counter allows the input reference frequency to be divided to produce the input clock to the PFD. The division ratio is programmed through the digital interface.
A and B counters
The A (5 bits) and B (12 bits) counters, in conjunction with the selected dual modulus (16/17 or 19/20) prescaler make it possible to generate output frequencies which are spaced only by the reference frequency divided by the reference division ratio. Thus, the division ratio and the VCO output frequency are given by the following formulae:
N = B × P + A
F
VCO
=
( B × P +
R
A ) × F
----------------------------------------------where:
F
VCO
: VCO output frequency.
P: modulus of dual modulus prescaler (16 or 19 selected through the digital interface).
B: division ratio of the main counter.
A: division ratio of the swallow counter.
F ref
: input reference frequency.
R: division ratio of the reference counter.
N: division ratio of the PLL
The following points should be noted:
●
●
●
For the VCO divider to work correctly, B
A can take any value from 0 to 31.
Two PLL division ratio (N) ranges are possible, depending on the value of P:
– 256 to 65551 (when P=16) must be higher than A.
– 361 to 77836 (when P=19).

This signal indicates that the difference between rising edges of both UP and DOWN PFD signals is found to be shorter than the fixed delay (roughly 5 ns). The Lock Detect signal is high when the PLL is locked. The Lock Detector consumes current only during PLL transients.

This (software controlled) function shuts down the following elements until the PLL achieves the lock status:
RF output stage
LO output buffer mixer
IF amplifier circuitry
Under this setting there is no signal at the IF output stage or the LO output during a frequency jump.
Note:
This block drives two matched current sources, Iup and Idown, which are controlled respectively by the UP and DOWN PFD outputs. The nominal value of the output current is controlled by an external resistor (to be connected to the REXT input pin) and the selection of one of 8 possible values by a 3-bit word.
The minimum value of the output current is: IMIN = 2*VBG/REXT_CP (VBG~1.17 V)

VCO selection
●
●
Within the STW82103B two low-noise VCOs are integrated to cover a wide band from
2200 MHz to 2550 MHz after the division by 2, and from 2500 MHz to 3000 MHz:
VCO A frequency range is 4400 MHz to 5100 MHz
VCO B frequency range is 2500 MHz to 3000 MHz
VCO frequency calibration
Both VCOs can operate on 32 frequency ranges that are selected by adding or subtracting capacitors to the resonator. These frequency ranges are intended to cover the wide band of operation and compensate for process variations on the VCO center frequency.
An automatic range selection is performed when the bit SERCAL rises from ‘0’ to ‘1’ . The charge pump is inhibited and the pins ICP and VCTRL are set at a fixed calibration voltage
(VCAL). The frequency ranges are then tested to select the nearest one to the desired output frequency (F
OUT
= N*F ref
/R) with VCAL input voltage applied. After this selection, the charge pump is once again enabled and the PLL performs a fine adjustment around VCAL on the loop filter voltage to lock F
OUT
, thus enabling a fast settling time.
Two calibration algorithms are selectable by setting the CALTYPE bit.
Setting the CALTYPE bit to ‘1’ guarantees the PLL lock versus temperature variations. Once programmed at the initial temperature, T
0
, within the operating temperature range (-40 °C to
+85 °C), the synthesizer is able to maintain the lock status if the temperature drift (in either direction) is within the limit specified by
Δ
T
LK
, and provided that the final temperature, T
1
, is still inside the nominal range.
Setting the CALTYPE bit to ‘0’ fixes VCAL to the mid point of the charge pump output
(VDD/2). Optimum PLL phase noise performance versus temperature variations with a reduced
Δ
T
LK i s guaranteed in this case.
The
Δ
T
LK parameter, specific to each VCO and calibration type, in the STW82103B is
specified in Table 8: Integer-N synthesizer electrical characteristics

STW82103B General description
VCO calibration auto-restart feature
The VCO Calibration Auto-Restart feature, once activated, allows the calibration procedure to be restarted when the Lock Detector reports that the PLL has moved to an unlock condition (trigger on ‘1’ to ‘0’ transition of Lock Detector signal).
This situation could happen if the device experiences a significant temperature variation and the CALTYPE bit is set for optimum PLL phase noise performance (CALTYPE [0]).By enabling the VCO Calibration Auto-Restart feature (through the AUTO_CAL bit), the device re-selects the proper VCO frequency sub-range, without any external user command.
This feature can be enabled only when the FPFD is lower than 1 MHz.
VCO voltage amplitude control
The voltage swing of the VCOs can be adjusted over 4 levels by means of two dedicated programming bits (PLL_A1 and PLL_A0). This setting trades current consumption with phase noise performances of the VCO. Higher amplitudes provide best phase noise while lower ones save power.

The differential output signal of the synthesizer after the Divider by 2 for VCOA and directly for VCOB is available on pins 16 and 17.
The output stage is selected by programming the PD[4:0] bits.
The output stage is an open-collector structure which is able to meet different requirements
over the desired output frequency range by proper connections on the PCB. See Figure 27:
Diversity mode operation with same LO frequencies .
Although the STW82103B includes two wideband and low-noise VCOs, external VCO use capability is also provided.
The external VCO buffer can be used to manage a signal coming from an external VCO in order to build a local oscillator signal by using the STW82103B internal synthesizer as a
PLL. This is only possible when External VCO standard mode or External VCO diversity master mode operation are selected. See
Figure 29: External VCO standard mode operation
and
Figure 30: External VCO diversity mode operation with same LO
.
If the STW82103B is operated in Diversity slave mode, the external VCO buffer manage the signal coming from the synthesizer output stage of another STW82103B device See
Figure 27: Diversity mode operation with same LO frequencies
and
VCO diversity mode operation with same LO
.
The selection of the external VCO buffer is done by setting the PD[4:0] bits.
The external VCO signal can range from 2200 MHz to 3000 MHz and its minimum power level must be -10 dBm.

8.1.12 Mixer and IF amplifier
LO mixer driver
The LO signal is fed through a driver in order to achieve the high power level needed to drive the passive mixer for maximum performance of linearity and NF.
The LO Mixer Driver is coupled to the mixer with an integrated LO balun. The LO signal level is adjusted by means of an Automatic Level Control loop (ALC) controlled by the bits
LO_A[1:0].
In low current mode the configuration LO_A[1:0]=’00’ (minimum LO amplitude) should be selected and the power supply on pin 40 can be set to 3.3 V.
The LO balun resonating frequency can be adjusted by means of the bits CAP[2:0] in order to match the selected LO frequency.

Mixer
A doubly balanced CMOS passive mixer is internally driven by the high level LO signal in order to achieve high linearity and low noise performance.
The RF integrated balun permits the removal of external components and it is internally matched to 50 ohms.
The gate bias of the CMOS devices in the mixer is programmable with 4 bits (MIX[3:0]) to optimize the input matching and the gain of the signal chain.
Higher values of gate bias (higher decimal values of MIX[3:0]) are suggested to maximize linearity and lower values to maximize the performance of Gain and NF.
Doc ID 018517 Rev 2 31/67
General description STW82103B
IF amplifier
The integrated IF stage permits a 200-ohm load to be driven (typically a SAW filter) ensuring high linearity.
It is an open collector stage (pin 31, 32) and should be biased to 5 V with choke inductors.
The typical output impedance is 200 ohms. The linearity performances are controlled by the bits IFAMP[1:0]. In low current mode the configuration IFAMP[1:0]=’00’ (minimum linearity) should be selected and the open collector stage can be biased to 3.3 V with choke inductors.

C bus interface
I2C bus interface
The I
2
C bus interface is selected by hardware connection of the pin 25 (DBUS_SEL) to 0 V.
Data transmission from a microprocessor to the STW82103B takes place through the 2 wires (SDA and SCL) I
2
C-bus interface. The STW82103B is always a slave device.
The I
2
C-bus protocol defines any device that sends data on to the bus as a transmitter and any device that reads the data as receiver. The device that controls the data transfer is known as the master and the others as slaves. The master always initiates the transfer and provides the serial clock for synchronization.
The STW82103B I
2
C bus supports Fast Mode operation (clock frequency up to 1 MHz).
9.1 I

C general features
Data changes on the SDA line must only occur when the SCL is LOW. SDA transitions while the clock is HIGH identify START or STOP conditions.

9.1.3
START condition
A START condition is identified by a HIGH to LOW transition of the data bus SDA while the clock signal SCL is stable in the HIGH state. A Start condition must precede any command for data transfer.
STOP condition
A STOP condition is identified by a transition of the data bus SDA from LOW to HIGH while the clock signal SCL is stable in the HIGH state.. A STOP condition terminates communications between the STW82103B and the Bus Master.
Byte format and acknowledge
Every byte (8 bits long) transferred on the SDA line must contain bits. Each byte must be followed by an acknowledge bit. The MSB is transferred first.
An acknowledge bit indicates a successful data transfer. The transmitter, either master or slave, releases the SDA bus after sending 8 bits of data. During the 9th clock pulse the receiver pulls the SDA low to acknowledge the receipt of 8 bits of data.

9.1.5
9.1.6
9.1.7
To start the communication between the Master and the STW82103B, the master must initiate with a START condition. Following this, the master sends onto the SDA line 8 bits
(MSB first) corresponding to the device select address and read or write mode.
The first 7 MSBs are the device address identifier, corresponding to the I
2
C-Bus definition.
For the STW82103B the address is set as ’1101A
2
A
1
A
0
’, 3-bits programmable. The 8th bit
(LSB) is the read or write operation bit (the RW bit is set to 1 in read mode and to 0 in write mode).
After a START condition the STW82103B identifies the device address on the bus and, if matched, it acknowledge the identification on SDA bus during the 9th clock pulse.
Single-byte write mode
Following a START condition the master sends a device select code with the RW bit set to 0.
The STW82103B gives an acknowledge and waits for the internal sub-address (1 byte). This byte provides access to any of the internal registers.
After reception of the internal byte sub-address the STW82103B again responds with an acknowledge. A single-byte write to sub-address 0x00 would affect DATA_OUT[47:40], a single-byte write with sub-address 0x04 would affect DATA_OUT[15:8] and so on.

Multi-byte write mode
The multi-byte write mode can start from any internal address. The master sends the data bytes and each one is acknowledged. The master terminates the transfer by generating a
STOP condition.
The sub-address determines the starting byte. For example, a multi-byte write with subaddress 0x01 and 4 DATA_IN bytes affects 4 bytes starting at address 0x01 (registers at addresses 0x01, 0x02, 0x03 and 0x04 are modified).

Current byte address read
In the current byte address read mode, following a START condition, the master sends the device address with the RW bit set to 1 (No sub-address is needed as there is only 1 byte read register). The STW82103B acknowledges this and outputs the data byte. The master does not acknowledge the received byte, but terminates the transfer with a STOP condition.

VCO calibration procedure (I
2
C interface)
The calibration of the VCO center frequency is activated by setting the SERCAL bit of the
MUTE & CALIBRATION register to ’1’.
To program the device ensuring a correct VCO calibration, the following procedure is required before every channel change:
1.
Program all the Registers using a multi-byte write sequence with the desired setting:
– Functional Mode
– B and A counters
– R counter
– VCO amplitude
– Charge Pump
– Prescaler Modulus
– DAC
– Mixer and LO Control
– all bits of the MUTE & CALIBRATION Register (0x05) set to ’0’.
2. Program the MUTE & CALIBRATION register using a single-byte write sequence (subaddress 0x05) with the SERCAL bit set to ’1’.
The maximum allowed PFD frequency (F
PFD
) to perform the calibration process is 1 MHz. If the desired F
PFD
is higher than 1 MHz the following steps are needed:
3. Perform all the step of the above calibration procedure programming the desired VCO frequency with a proper setting of R, B and A counter so that F
PFD
results lower than
1 MHz.
4. Once calibration is completed, program all the Registers by using a multi-byte write sequence (Functional Mode, B and A counters, R counter, VCO amplitude, Charge
Pump, Prescaler Modulus, DAC, Mixer and LO Control) with the proper settings for the desired VCO and PFD frequencies.
Power ON sequence (I

At power-on the device is configured in power-down mode.
In order to guarantee correct setting of the internal circuitry after the power on, the following steps must be followed:
1.
Power up the device
2. Provide the Reference clock
3. Implement the first programming sequence with a proper delay time between the STOP condition of the multi-byte write sequence and that of the single-byte write sequence
). The T delay
value must respect the following condition:

SPI digital interface
10.1 SPI general features
The SPI digital interface is selected by hardware connection of the pin 25 (DBUS_SEL) to
3.3 V.
The STW82103B IC is programmed by means of a high-speed serial-to-parallel interface with write option only. The 3-wires bus can be clocked at a frequency as high as 100 MHz to allow fast programming of the registers containing the data for RF IC configuration.
The programming of the chip is done through serial words with whole length of 26 bits. The first 2 MSB represent the address of the registers. The others 24 LSB represent the value of the registers.
Each data bit is stored in the internal shift register on the rising edge of the CLOCK signal.
On the rising edge of the LOAD signal the outputs of the selected register are sent to the device.

10.4 Device calibration through the SPI interface
10.4.1 VCO calibration procedure (SPI interface)
The calibration of the VCO center frequency is activated by setting to ’1’ the SERCAL bit
(ST2 Register bit [6]).
In order to program properly the device while ensuring the VCO calibration, the following procedure is required before every channel change:
1.
Program the ST1 Register with the desired setting (DAC, Mixer, LO Control)
2. Program the ST3 Register with the desired setting (Functional mode, B and A counters)
3. Program the ST2 Register with the desired setting (R counter, VCO amplitude, Charge
Pump, Prescaler Modulus) and SERCAL bit set to ’1’
The maximum allowed PFD frequency (F
PFD
) to perform the calibration process is 1 MHz; if the desired F
PFD
is higher than 1 MHz the following steps are needed:
4. Perform all the steps of the above calibration procedure programming the desired VCO frequency with a proper setting of R, B and A counter so that F
PFD
results lower than 1
MHz.
5. Once calibration is completed program the device with the proper setting for the desired
VCO and PFD frequencies according to the following steps: a) Program the ST3 Register with the desired setting (Functional mode, B and A counters) b) Program the ST2 Register with the desired setting (R counter, VCO amplitude,
Charge Pump, Prescaler Modulus) with the SERCAL bit set to ’0’.
At power-on the device is configured in power-down mode.
In order to guarantee correct setting of the internal circuitry after the power on, the following steps must be followed:
1.
Power up the device
2. Provide the reference clock
3. Implement the first programming sequence with a proper delay time between the ST3 and ST2 load rising edges (see
). The T delay
value must respect the following condition:
T delay
> 1023 ×
F ref
F ref
