MAX2121B  
L-Band Tuner with Programmable  
Baseband Filter  
General Description  
The MAX2121B low-cost, direct-conversion tuner IC is  
designed for satellite set-top and VSAT applications.  
Benefits and Features  
Monolithic Receiver Saves Cost and Space  
•ꢀ Integrated VCO with Low Phase Noise: -97dBc/Hz  
at 10kHz  
The device directly converts the satellite signals from the  
LNB to baseband using a broadband I/Q downconverter.  
The operating frequency range extends from 925MHz to  
2250MHz.  
•ꢀ Integrated 14-Bit Fractional-N Synthesizer  
•ꢀ Address Pin Allows for Multi-Tuner Applications  
Low Power Reduces Cost  
•ꢀ 495mW Power Dissipation  
•ꢀ 10mW Standby Mode  
The device includes an LNA and an RF variable-gain ampli-  
fier, I and Q downconverting mixers, and digitally controlled  
baseband filters (40MHz to 124MHz) and variable-gain  
amplifiers. Together, the RF and baseband variable-gain  
amplifiers provide more than 80dB of gain control range.  
High Dynamic Range Eliminates Need for External  
LNA and/or Attenuators  
•ꢀ -75dBm to 0dBm Input Power  
•ꢀ 8dB Noise Figure  
The device includes fully monolithic VCOs, as well as a  
complete fractional-N frequency synthesizer. Additionally,  
an on-chip crystal oscillator is provided along with a buff-  
ered output for driving additional tuners and demodula-  
tors. Synthesizer programming and device configuration  
are accomplished with a 2-wire serial interface. The IC  
features a VCO autoselect (VAS) function that automati-  
cally selects the proper VCO. For multituner applications,  
the device can be configured to have one of two 2-wire  
interface addresses. A low-power standby mode is avail-  
able whereupon the signal path is shut down while leaving  
the reference oscillator, digital interface, and buffer cir-  
cuits active, providing a method to reduce power in single  
and multituner applications.  
Integrated LP Filters Simplify Design

The device is the most advanced broadband/VSAT DBS  
tuner available. The low noise figure eliminates the need  
for an external LNA. A small number of passive compo-  
nents are needed to form a complete broadband satellite  
tuner DVB-S2 RF front-end solution. The tuner is avail-  
able in a very small, 5mm x 5mm, 28-pin TQFN package.

MAX2121B  
L-Band Tuner with Programmable  
Baseband Filter  
Slave Address  
2-Wire Serial Interface  
2
The MAX2121B has a 7-bit slave address that must be sent  
to the device following a START condition to initiate com-  
munication. The slave address is internally programmed to  
1100000. The eighth bit (R/W) following the 7-bit address  
determines whether a read or write operation occurs.  
The MAX2121B uses a 2-wire I C-compatible serial inter-  
face consisting of a serial-data line (SDA) and a serial clock  
line (SCL). SDA and SCL facilitate bidirectional communi-  
cation between the MAX2121B and the master at clock fre-  
quencies up to 400kHz. The master initiates a data transfer  
on the bus and generates the SCL signal to permit data  
transfer. The MAX2121B behaves as a slave device that  
transfers and receives data to and from the master. SDA  
and SCL must be pulled high with external pullup resistors  
(1kΩꢀorꢀgreater)ꢀforꢀproperꢀbusꢀoperation.ꢀPullupꢀresistorsꢀ  
The MAX2121B continuously awaits a START condition  
followed by its slave address. When the device recog-  
nizes its slave address, it acknowledges by pulling the  
SDA line low for one clock period; it is ready to accept or  
send data depending on the R/W bit (Figure 1).  
should be referenced to the MAX2121B’s V  
.
CC  
The write/read address is C0/C1 if ADDR pin is connected  
to ground. The write/read address is C2/C3 if the ADDR  
pin is connected to V  
One bit is transferred during each SCL clock cycle. A mini-  
mum of nine clock cycles is required to transfer a byte in  
or out of the MAX2121B (8 bits and an ACK/NACK). The  
data on SDA must remain stable during the high period of  
the SCL clock pulse. Changes in SDA while SCL is high  
and stable are considered control signals (see the START  
and STOP Conditions). Both SDA and SCL remain high  
when the bus is not busy.  
.
CC  
Write Cycle  
When addressed with a write command, the MAX2121B  
allows the master to write to a single register or to multiple  
successive registers.  
A write cycle begins with the bus master issuing a START  
condition followed by the seven slave address bits and  
a write bit (R/W = 0). The MAX2121B issues an ACK if  
the slave address byte is successfully received. The bus  
master must then send to the slave the address of the  
first register it wishes to write to (see Table 1 for regis-  
ter addresses). If the slave acknowledges the address,  
the master can then write one byte to the register at the  
specified address. Data is written beginning with the most  
significant bit. The MAX2121B again issues an ACK if the  
data is successfully written to the register. The master  
can continue to write data to the successive internal reg-  
isters with the MAX2121B acknowledging each success-  
ful transfer, or it can terminate transmission by issuing a  
STOP condition. The write cycle does not terminate until  
the master issues a STOP condition.  
START and STOP Conditions  
The master initiates a transmission with a START condi-  
tion (S), which is a high-to-low transition on SDA while  
SCL is high. The master terminates a transmission with  
a STOP condition (P), which is a low-to-high transition on  
SDA while SCL is high.  
Acknowledge and Not-Acknowledge Conditions  
Data transfers are framed with an acknowledge bit (ACK)  
or a not-acknowledge bit (NACK). Both the master and  
the MAX2121B (slave) generate acknowledge bits. To  
generate an acknowledge, the receiving device must  
pull SDA low before the rising edge of the acknowledge-  
related clock pulse (ninth pulse) and keep it low during the  
high period of the clock pulse.  
To generate a not-acknowledge condition, the receiver  
allows SDA to be pulled high before the rising edge of  
the acknowledge-related clock pulse, and leaves SDA  
high during the high period of the clock pulse. Monitoring  
the acknowledge bits allows for detection of unsuccessful  
data transfers. An unsuccessful data transfer happens if a  
receiving device is busy or if a system fault has occurred.  
In the event of an unsuccessful data transfer, the bus  
master must reattempt communication at a later time.

Requirement  
When addressed with a read command, the MAX2121B  
allows the master to read back a single register, or mul-  
tiple successive registers.

A read cycle begins with the bus master issuing a START  
condition followed by the seven slave address bits and  
a write bit (R/W = 0). The MAX2121B issues an ACK if  
the slave address byte is successfully received. The bus  
master must then send the address of the first register it  
wishes to read (see Table 1 for register addresses). The  
slave acknowledges the address. Then, a START condi-  
tion is issued by the master, followed by the seven slave  
address bits and a read bit (R/W = 1). The MAX2121B  
issues an ACK if the slave address byte is successfully  
received. The MAX2121B starts sending data MSB first  
with each SCL clock cycle. At the 9th clock cycle, the  
master can issue an ACK and continue to read succes-  
sive registers, or the master can terminate the transmis-  
sion by issuing a NACK. The read cycle does not termi-  
nate until the master issues a STOP condition.

Baseband Lowpass Filter  
The MAX2121B includes a programmable on-chip 5th-  
order Butterworth filter with 1st-order group delay com-  
pensation. The filter -3dB corner frequency can be adjust-  
ed to approximately 40MHz to 124MHz by programming  
the LPF[7:0] register using the following equation:  
LPF[7:0]dec = 1.25(f  
is in units of MHz.  
- 3.2)  
-3dB  
where f  
-3dB  
The supply current is dependant on the filter bandwidth  
setting. See the Supply Current vs. LPF[7:0] graph in the  
Typical Operating Characteristics.  
DC Offset Cancellation  
The DC offset cancellation is required to maintain the I/Q  
output dynamic range. Connecting an external capacitor  
between IDC+ and IDC- forms a highpass filter for the I  
channel and an external capacitor between QDC+ and  
QDC- forms a highpass filter for the Q channel. Keep the  
value of the external capacitor less than 47nF to form a  
typical highpass corner of 250Hz.  
Figure 3 illustrates an example in which registers 0, 1, and  
2 are read back.  
Applications Information  
The MAX2121B downconverts RF signals in the 925MHz  
to 2175MHz range directly to the baseband I/Q signals.  
RF Input  
XTAL Oscillator  
The RF input of the MAX2121B is internally matched to  
75Ω.ꢀ Onlyꢀ aꢀ DC-blockingꢀ capacitorꢀ isꢀ needed.ꢀ Seeꢀ theꢀ  
Typical Application Circuit.  
The MAX2121B contains an internal reference oscilla-  
tor, reference output divider, and output buffer. All that  
is required is to connect a crystal through a series 1nF  
capacitor. To minimize parasitics, place the crystal and  
series capacitor as close as possible to pin 14 (XTAL).  
See Table 16 for crystal (XTAL) ESR (equivalent series  
resistance) requirements.  
RF Gain Control  
The MAX2121B features a variable-gain low-noise ampli-  
fier providing 73dB of RF gain range. The voltage con-  
trol (VGC) range is 0.5V (minimum attenuation) to 2.7V  
(maximum attenuation).  
Programming the Fractional  
N- Synthesizer  
Baseband Variable-Gain Amplifier  
The receiver baseband variable-gain amplifiers provide  
15dB of gain control range programmable in 1dB steps.  
The VGA gain can be serially programmed through the I C  
The MAX2121B utilizes a fractional-N type synthesizer  
for LO frequency programming. To program the frequency  
synthesizer, the N and F values are encoded as straight  
binary numbers. Determination of these values is illus-  
trated by the following example:

outside the VCO’s specified frequency range.

Note: When changing LO frequencies, all the divider  
registers (integer and fractional) must be programmed to  
activate the VAS function regardless of whether individual  
registers are changed.  
3-Bit ADC  
The MAX2121B has an internal 3-bit ADC connected to  
the VCO tune pin (TUNEVCO). This ADC can be used for  
checking the lock status of the VCOs.  
VCO Autoselect (VAS)  
Table 17 summarizes the ADC output bits and the VCO  
lock indication. The VCO autoselect routine only selects  
a VCO in the “VAS locked” range. This allows room for  
a VCO to drift over temperature and remain in a valid  
“locked” range.  
The MAX2121B includes 24 VCOs. The local oscillator  
frequency can be manually selected by programming the  
VCO[4:0] bits in the VCO register. The selected VCO is  
reported in the Status Byte-2 register (see Table 15).  
Alternatively, the MAX2121B can be set to autonomously  
choose a VCO by setting the VAS bit in the VCO reg-  
ister to logic-high. The VAS routine is initiated once the  
F-Divider LSB register word (register 5) is loaded.  
The ADC must first be enabled by setting the ADE bit in  
the VCO register. The ADC reading is latched by a sub-  
sequent programming of the ADC latch bit (ADL = 1). The  
ADC value is reported in the Status Byte-2 register (see  
Table 15).  
Thus it is important to write register 5 after any of the fol-  
lowing PLL related bits have been changed:  
Standby Mode  
N-Divider bits (registers 1 and/or 2)  
F-Divider bits (registers 3 and/or 4)  
Reference Divider bits (register 6)  
D24, CPS, or ICP bits (register 7)  
The MAX2121B features normal operating mode and  
2
standby mode using the I C interface. Setting a logic-high  
to the STBY bit in the Control register puts the device into  
standby mode, during which only the 2-wire-compatible  
bus, the crystal oscillator, the XTAL buffer, and the XTAL  
buffer divider are active.  
This will ensure all intended bits have been programmed  
before the VAS is initiated and the PLL is locked. The VCO  
value programmed in the VCO[4:0] register serves as the  
starting point for the automatic VCO selection process.  
In all cases, register settings loaded prior to entering  
shutdown are saved upon transition back to active mode.  
Default register values are provided for the user’s con-  
venience only. It is the user’s responsibility to load all  
theꢀ registersꢀ noꢀ soonerꢀ thanꢀ 100μsꢀ afterꢀ theꢀ deviceꢀ isꢀ  
powered up.  
During the selection process, the VASE bit in the Status  
Byte-1 register is cleared to indicate the autoselection  
function is active. Upon successful completion, bits VASE  
and VASA are set and the VCO selected is reported in

Layout Considerations  
Ordering Information  
The MAX2121 EV kit serves as a guide for PCB layout.  
Keep RF signal lines as short as possible to minimize  
losses and radiation. Use controlled impedance on all  
high-frequency traces. For proper operation, the exposed  
paddle must be soldered evenly to the board’s ground  
plane. Use abundant vias beneath the exposed paddle  
for maximum heat dissipation. Use abundant ground  
vias between RF traces to minimize undesired coupling.
