PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ACD2206 uses both GaAs and Si technology supply voltage. The IC is well suited for applications
to provide the downconverter and dual synthesizer where small size, low cost, low auxiliary parts count,
functions in a double conversion tuner gain block, and no-compromise performance is important. It
local oscillator, balanced mixer, IF Amplifier, and provides for cost reduction by lowering the
dual synthesizer. The specifications meet the component and packaged IC count and decreasing
requirements of CATV/TV/Video and Cable Modem the amount of labor-intensive production alignment
Data applications. The ACD2206 is supplied in a 28 steps, while significantly improving performance
lead SSOP package and requires a single +5 V and reliability.

LOGIC PROGRAMMING
Synthesizer Register Programming
The ACD2206 includes two PLL synthesizers. Each Table 7: Register Select Bits
synthesizer contains programmable Reference and
SELEC T
Main dividers, which allow a wide range of local
B IT S D E S T IN AT ION R E GIS T E R F OR
oscillator frequencies. The 22-bit registers that control
the dividers are programmed via a shared three-wire S S S E R IAL D ATA
bus, consisting of Data, Clock and Enable lines. 2 1
The data word for each register is entered serially 0 0 Reference Divider Register for PLL2
in order with the most significant bit (MSB) first and
the least significant bit (LSB) last. The rising edge 0 1 Main Divider Register for PLL2
of the Clock pulse shifts each data value into the
register. The Enable line must be low for the duration 1 0 Reference Divider Register for PLL1
of the data entry, then set high to latch the data into
the register. (See Figure 4.) 1 1 Mai n Di vi der Regi ster for PLL1

Programmable Modes
Each register contains bits set aside for programming current function. They can be set either high or low
different modes of operation in the synthesizers. without affecting synthesizer performance.
Currently, the only programmable mode is the polarity
of the phase detector in each of the synthesizers. Bit Setting Phase Detector Polarity
D1 in each reference divider register controls this Table 14 shows how bit D1 of each reference divider
feature. Bits D2 through D5 in the reference divider register controls the polarity of the phase detector
registers and bits C1 and C2 in the main divider associated with each PLL. The correct setting is
registers are reserved for future use, and have no determined by using Table 15 and Figure 10.

Requirements
Desired CATV input channel: HHH - 499.25 MHz picture carrier (501 MHz digital channel center frequency)
(Second) IF picture carrier output frequency: 45.75 MHz (44 MHz digital channel center frequency)
First IF frequency: 1087.75 MHz
Phase detector comparison frequency for down converter (also tuning increment): 62.5 KHz
Phase detector comparison frequency for up converter: 250 KHz
Crystal reference oscillator frequency: 4 MHz
R = fOSC / fPD
For the down converter, the 4 MHz crystal oscillator frequency and the 62.5 KHz phase detector comparison
frequency are used to yield RPLL2 = 4 MHz / 62.5 KHz = 64, and so the bit values for the down converter
R counter are RPLL2 = 000000001000000.
For the up converter, the 4 MHz crystal oscillator frequency and the 250 KHz phase detector comparison
frequency are used to yield RPLL1 = 4 MHz / 250 KHz = 16, and so the bit values for the up converter R counter
are RPLL1 = 000000000010000.
N = fVCO / f PD B = trunc(N / P) A = N - (B x P)
The down converter local oscillator frequency will be 1087.75 MHz - 45.75 MHz = 1042 MHz in this example.
The main divider ratio for the down converter, then, is NPLL2 = 1042 MHz / 62.5 KHz = 16672. Since P = 64 in the
ACD2206, BPLL2 = trunc(16672 / 64) = 260, and APLL2 = 16672 - (260 x 64) = 32. These results give bit values of
BPLL2 = 00100000100 and APLL2 = 0100000 for the B and A counters.
The up converter local oscillator frequency will be 499.25 MHz + 1087.75 MHz = 1587 MHz in this example.
Therefore, NPLL1 = 1587 MHz / 250 KHz = 6348, BPLL1 = trunc(6348 / 64) = 99, and APLL1 = 6348 - (99 x 64) = 12.
These results give bit values of BPLL1 = 00001100011 and APLL1 = 0001100 for the B and A counters.
In summary, for this example, the four register programming words are shown in Tables 16 and 17:
