(1) For optimal phase noise performance, higher input voltage and a slew rate of at least 3 V/ns is recommended
(2) PLL Noise Metrics are measured with a clean OSCin signal with a high slew rate using a wide loop bandwidth. The noise metrics model
the PLL noise for an infinite loop bandwidth as:
PLL_Total = 10 × log( 10PLL_Flat / 10 + 10PLL_Flicker(Offset) / 10
PLL_Flat = PN1Hz + 20 × log(N) + 10 × log(fPD / 1 Hz)
)
PLL_Flicker = PN10kHz - 10 × log(Offset / 10 kHz) + 20 × log(fVCO / 1 GHz)
(3) Charge pump mismatch varies as a function of charge pump voltage. Consult typical performance characteristics to see this variation.

There are several other considerations for programming:
•
The DATA is clocked into a shift register on each rising edge of the CLK signal. On the rising edge of the LE
signal, the data is sent from the shift register to an actual counter.
•
If no LE signal is given after the last data bit and the clock is kept toggling, then these bits are read into the
next lower register. This eliminates the need to send the address each time.
•
•
A slew rate of at least 30 V/µs is recommended for the CLK, DATA, and LE signals
Timing specs also apply to readback. Readback can be done through the MUXout, TRIG1, TRIG2, or MOD
terminals.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LMX2491 is a microwave PLL, consisting of a reference input and divider, high frequency input and divider,
charge pump, ramp generator, and other digital logic. The Vcc power supply pins run at a nominal 3.3 volts,
while the charge pump supply pin, Vcp, operates anywhere from VCC to 5 volts. The device is designed to
operate with an external loop filter and VCO. Modulation is achieved by manipulating the MASH engine.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 OSCin Input
The reference can be applied in several ways. If using a differential input, this must be terminated differentially
with a 100-Ω resistance and AC-coupled to the OSCin and GND/OSCin* terminals. If driving this single-ended,
then the GND/OSCin* terminal may be grounded, although better performance is attained by connecting the
GND/OSCin* terminal through a series resistance and capacitance to ground to match the OSCin terminal
impedance.
7.3.2 OSCin Doubler
The OSCin doubler allows the input signal to the OSCin to be doubled to have higher phase detector
frequencies. This works by clocking on both the rising and falling edges of the input signal, so it therefore
requires a 50% input duty cycle.
7.3.3 R Divider
The R counter is 16 bits divides the OSCin signal from 1 to 65535. If DIFF_R = 0, then any value can be chosen
in this range. If DIFF_R = 1, then the divide is restricted to 2, 4, 8, and 16, but allows for higher OSCin
frequencies.
7.3.4 PLL N Divider
The 16-bit N divider divides the signal at the Fin terminal down to the phase detector frequency. It contains a 4/5
prescaler that creates minimum divide restrictions, but allows the N value to increment in values of one.

7.3.5 Fractional Circuitry
The fractional circuitry controls the N divider with delta sigma modulation that supports a programmable first,
second, third, and fourth-order modulator. The fractional denominator is a fully programmable 24-bit denominator
that can support any value from 1, 2, ..., 224, with the exception when the device is running one of the ramps,
and in this case it is a fixed size of 224.
7.3.6 PLL Phase Detector and Charge Pump
The phase detector compares the outputs of the R and N dividers and generates a correction voltage
corresponding to the phase error. This voltage is converted to a correction current by the charge pump. The
phase detector frequency, fPD, can be calculated as follows: fPD = fOSCin × OSC_2X / R.
The charge pump supply voltage on this device, VCP, can be either run at the VCC voltage, or up to 5.25 volts to
get higher tuning voltages to present to the VCO.
7.3.7 External Loop Filter
The loop filter is external to the device and is application specific. Texas Instruments website has details on this
at www.ti.com.
7.3.8 Fastlock and Cycle Slip Reduction
This PLL has a Fastlock and a cycle slipping reduction feature. The user can enable these two features by
programming FL_TOC to a non-zero value. Every time PLL_N (the feedback divider, register R17 and R16) is
written, the Fastlock feature engages for the prescribed time set in FL_TOC. There are 3 actions that can be
enabled while the counter is running:
1. Change the charge pump current to the desired higher value FL_CPG. Typically this value would be set to
the maximum at 31x. This increases the loop bandwidth and hence reduces lock time.
2. Change the phase detector frequency with FL_CSR to reduce cycle slipping. The phase detector frequency
can be reduced by a factor 2 or 4 to reduce cycle slipping.
3. The loop filter can be configured to have a switchable R2 resistor to increase loop bandwidth and hence
reduce lock time. A resistor R2pLF is added in parallel to R2_LF and connected to the a terminal on the PLL
to use the internal switch. Any of the terminal MUXout, MOD, TRIG1,or TRIG2 can be configured for the
function. The terminal configuration is set as Output TOC Running. Also set the terminal as output inverted
OD (OD for open-drain) so the output will be high impedance in normal operation and act as ground in
Fastlock. The suggested schematic for that feature is shown in Figure 12.

The resistor and the charge pump current are changed simultaneously so that the phase margin remains the
same while the loop bandwidth is by a factor of K as shown in the following table:

K = sqrt(FL_CPG / CPG)

R2pLF
Cycle slip reduction is another method that can also be used to speed up lock time by reducing cycle slipping.
Cycle slipping typically occurs when the phase detector frequency exceeds about 100x the loop bandwidth of the
PLL. Cycle slip reduction works in a different way than fastlock. To use this, the phase detector frequency is
decreased while the charge pump current is simultaneously increased by the same factor. Although the loop
bandwidth is unchanged, the ratio of the phase detector frequency to the loop bandwidth is, and this is helpful for
cases when the phase detector frequency is high. Because cycle slip reduction changes the phase detector rate,
it also impacts other things that are based on the phase detector rate, such as the fastlock timeout-counter and
ramping controls.
7.3.9 Lock Detect and Charge Pump Voltage Monitor
The LMX2491 offers two methods to determine if the PLL is in lock: charge pump voltage monitoring and digital
lock detect. These features can be used individually or in conjunction to give a reliable indication of when the
PLL is in lock. The output of this detection can be routed to the TRIG1, TRIG2, MOD, or MUXout terminals.
7.3.9.1 Charge Pump Voltage Monitor
The charge pump voltage monitor allows the user to set low (CMP_THR_LOW) and high (CMP_THR_HIGH)
thresholds for a comparator that monitors the charge pump output voltage.

7.3.9.2 Digital Lock Detect
Digital lock detect works by comparing the phase error as presented to the phase detector. If the phase error
plus the delay as specified by the PFD_DLY bit is outside the tolerance as specified by DLD_TOL, then this
comparison would be considered to be an error, otherwise passing. The DLD_ERR_CNT specifies how may
errors are necessary to cause the circuit to consider the PLL to be unlocked. The DLD_PASS_CNT specifies
how many passing comparisons are necessary to cause the PLL to be considered to be locked and also resets
the count for the errors. The DLD_TOL value should be set to no more than half of a phase detector period plus
the PFD_DLY value. The DLD_ERR_CNT and DLD_PASS_CNT values can be decreased to make the circuit
more sensitive. If the circuit is too sensitive, then chattering can occur and the DLD_ERR_CNT,
DLD_PASS_CNT, or DLD_TOL values should be increased.
NOTE
If the OSCin signal goes away and there is no noise or self-oscillation at the OSCin pin,
then it is possible for the digital lock detect to indicate a locked state when the PLL really
is not in lock. If this is a concern, then digital lock detect can be combined with charge
pump voltage monitor to detect this situation.

7.3.10 FSK/PSK Modulation
Two-level FSK or PSK modulation can be created whenever a trigger event, as defined by the FSK_TRIG field is
detected. This trigger can be defined as a transition on a terminal (TRIG1, TRIG2, MOD, or MUXout) or done
purely in software. The RAMP_PM_EN bit defines the modulation to be either FSK or PSK and the FSK_DEV
register determines the amount of the deviation. Remember that the FSK_DEV[32:0] field is programmed as the
2's complement of the actual desired FSK_DEV value. This modulation can be added to the modulation created
from the ramping functions as well.

7.3.11 Ramping Functions
The LMX2491 supports a broad and flexible class of FMCW modulation formed by up to 8 linear ramps. When
the ramping function is running, the denominator is fixed to a forced value of 224 = 16777216. The waveform
always starts at RAMP0 when the LSB of the PLL_N (R16) is written to. After it is set up, it starts at the initial
frequency and have piecewise linear frequency modulation that deviates from this initial frequency as specified
by the modulation. Each of the eight ramps can be individually programmed. Various settings are as follows:

PROGRAMMING FIELD
NAME
DESCRIPTION
The user programs the length of the ramp in phase detector cycles. If
RAMPx_DLY = 1, then each count of RAMPx_LEN is actually two phase
detector cycles.
RAMPx_LEN
RAMPx_DLY
Ramp Length
The user does not directly program slope of the line, but rather this is done by
defining how long the ramp is and how much the fractional numerator is
increased per phase detector cycle. The value for RAMPx_INC is calculated by
taking the total expected increase in the frequency, expressed in terms of how
much the fractional numerator increases, and dividing it by RAMPx_LEN. The
value programmed into RAMPx_INC is actually the two's complement of the
desired mathematical value.
RAMPx_LEN
RAMPx_DLY

The event that triggers the next ramp can be defined to be the ramp finishing or
can wait for a trigger as defined by Trigger A, Trigger B, or Trigger C.

This sets the ramp that follows. Waveforms are constructed by defining a chain
ramp segments. To make the waveform repeat, make RAMPx_NEXT point to
the first ramp in the pattern.
Ramp Fastlock
Ramp Flags
RAMPx_FL
This allows the ramp to use a different charge pump current or use Fastlock
This allows the ramp to set a flag that can be routed to external terminals to
trigger other devices.
RAMPx_FLAG
7.3.11.1 Ramp Count
If it is desired that the ramping waveform keep repeating, then all that is needed is to make the RAMPx_NEXT of
the final ramp equal to the first ramp. This runs until the RAMP_EN bit is set to zero. If this is not desired, then
one can use the RAMP_COUNT to specify how may times the specified pattern is to repeat.
7.3.11.2 Ramp Comparators and Ramp Limits
The ramp comparators and ramp limits use programable thresholds to allow the device to detect whenever the
modulated waveform frequency crosses a limit as set by the user. The difference between these is that
comparators set a flag to alert the user while a ramp limits prevent the frequency from going beyond the
prescribed threshold. In either case, these thresholds are expressed by programming the
Extended_Fractional_Numerator. CMP0 and CMP1 are two separated comparators but they work in the same
fashion.
Extended_Fractional_Numerator = Fractional_Numerator + (N - N*) × 224

In Equation 1, N* is the PLL feedback value without ramping. Fractional_Numerator and N are the new values as
defined by the threshold frequency. The actual value programmed is the 2's complement of
Extended_Fractional_Numerator.

For the ramp comparators, if the ramp is increasing and exceeds the value as specified

otherwise it is low.

7.3.12 Power-on-reset (POR)
The power-on-reset circuitry sets all the registers to a default state when the device is powered up. This same
reset can be done by programming SWRST = 1. In the programming section, the power on reset state is given
for all the programmable fields.
7.3.13 Register Readback
The LMX2491 allows any of its registers to be read back. MOD, MUXout, TRIG1 or TRIG2 pin can be
programmed to support register-readback serial-data output. To read back a certain register value, follow the
following steps:
1. Set the R/W bit to 1; the data field contents are ignored.
2. Send the register to the device; readback serial data will be output starting at the 17th clock cycle.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
The two primary ways to use the LMX2491 are to run it to generate a set of frequencies
7.4.1 Continuous Frequency Generator
In this mode, the LMX2491 generates a single frequency that only changes when the N divider is programmed to
a new value. In this mode, the RAMP_EN bit is set to 0 and the ramping controls are not used. The fractional
denominator can be programmed to any value from 1 to 16777216. In this kind of application, the PLL is tuned to
different channels, but at each channel, the goal is to generate a stable fixed frequency.
7.4.1.1 Integer Mode Operation
In integer mode operation, the VCO frequency needs to be an integer multiple of the phase detector frequency.
This can be the case when the output frequency or frequencies are nicely related to the input frequency. As a
rule of thumb, if this an be done with a phase detector of as high as the lesser of 10 MHz or the OSCin
frequency, then this makes sense. To operate the device in integer mode, disable the fractional circuitry by
programming the fractional order (FRAC_ORDER), dithering (FRAC_DITH), and numerator (FRAC_NUM) to
zero.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
7.4.1.2 Fractional Mode Operation
In fractional mode, the output frequency does not need to be an integer multiple of the phase detector frequency.
This makes sense when the channel spacing is more narrow or the input and output frequencies are not nicely
related. There are several programmable controls for this such as the modulator order, fractional dithering,
fractional numerator, and fractional denominator. There are many trade-offs with choosing these, but here are
some guidelines
Table 8. Fractional Mode Register Descriptions and Recommendations
PARAMETER
FIELD NAME
HOW TO CHOOSE
The first step is to find the fractional denominator. To do this, find the frequency that
divides the phase detector frequency by the channel spacing. For instance, if the
output ranges from 5000 to 5050 in 5-MHz steps and the phase detector is 100
MHz, then the fractional denominator is 100 MHz / 5 = 20. So for a an output of
5015 MHz, the N divider would be 50 + 3/20. In this case, the fractional numerator is
3 and the fractional denominator is 20. Sometimes when dithering is used, it makes
sense to express this as a larger equivalent fraction.
Fractional Numerator and
Denominator
FRAC_NUM
FRAC_DEN
Note that if ramping is active, the fractional denominator is forced to 224
.
There are many trade-offs, but in general try either the 2nd or 3rd-order modulator
Fractional Order
Dithering
FRAC_ORDER as starting points. The 3rd-order modulator may give lower main spurs, but may
generate others. Also if dithering is involved, it can generate phase noise.
Dithering can reduce some fractional spurs, but add noise. Consult application note
FRAC_DITH
AN-1879 Fractional N Frequency Synthesis for more details on this.
7.4.2 Modulated Waveform Generator
In this mode, the device can generate a broad class of frequency sweeping waveforms. The user can specify up
to 8 linear segments to generate these waveforms. When the ramping function is running, the denominator is
fixed to a forced value of 224 = 16777216
In addition to the ramping functions, there is also the capability to use a terminal to add phase or frequency
modulation that can be done by itself or added on top of the waveforms created by the ramp generation
functions.
7.5 Programming
7.5.1 Loading Registers
The device is programmed using several 24-bit registers. Each register consists of a data field, an address field,
and a R/W bit. The MSB is the R/W bit. 0 means register write while 1 means register read. The following 15 bits
of the register are the address, followed by the next 8 bits of data. The user has the option to pull the LE terminal
high after this data, or keep sending data and it applies this data to the next lower register. So instead of sending
three registers of 24 bits each, one could send a single 40-bit register with the 16 bits of address and 24 bits of
data. For that matter, the entire device could be programmed as a single register if desired.
7.6 Register Maps
Registers are programmed in REVERSE order from highest to lowest. Registers NOT shown in this table or
marked as reserved can be written as all 0s unless otherwise stated. The POR value is the power on reset value
that is assigned when the device is powered up or the SWRST bit is asserted.

8 Applications and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LMX2491 can be used in a broad class of applications such as generating a single frequency for a high
frequency clock, generating a tunable range of frequencies, or generating swept waveforms that can be used in
applications such as radar.

Typical Application (continued)
8.2.1 Design Requirements

There are many possibilities, but this choice gives good performance.
In the different examples, the VCO frequency is actually changing. However,

1500 - 1520 MHz the same loop filter design can be used for all examples. Unmodulated VCO
frequency or steady state VCO frequency without ramp is 1500 MHz.
This parameter has nothing to do with the LMX2491, but is rather set by the
KVCO

external VCO choice.
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The first step is to calculate the reference divider (PLL_R) and feedback divider (PLL_N) values as shown in the
table that follows.

R
To design a loop filter, one designs for a fixed VCO value,
although it is understood that the VCO will tune around. This
typical value is usually chosen as the average VCO

8.2.4 Frequency Shift Keying Example
FSK operation requires an external input trigger signal at either MOD, TRIG1 or TRIG2 pin. In this example,
MOD pin is selected as the Trigger A source. A 20 kHz square-wave clock will be applied to MOD pin to toggle
the RF output to switch between 1500 MHz and 1502 MHz. That is, FSK frequency deviation is 2 MHz. The
following register bits are required to set in order to initiate FSK operation.

8.2.5 Single Sawtooth Ramp Example
In this example, Trigger B is used to trigger the ramp generator of LMX2491 to general a single frequency ramp
between 1500 MHz and 1520 MHz. Ramp duration is 50 µs. The ramp will finish and return back to 1500 MHz
immediately when the output frequency reaches 1520 MHz. Trigger 1 pin is assigned as Trigger B source.
Two ramp segments are setup to create this one-time single ramp. RAMP0 is used to establish a trigger for the
second ramp segment - RAMP1. When a trigger signal is received, RAMP1 will execute and bring the output
frequency to 1520 MHz in 50 µs.

COMMENTS
This threshold frequency can be anything above 1520 MHz.
The fractional numerator is equal to 0 at 1550 MHz. The N-Divider
difference between 1500 MHz and 1550 MHz is 1. From Equation 1,
this threshold is equal to 0 + (1 x 224) = 16777216.

RAMP_LIMIT_HIGH
This threshold frequency can be anything below 1500 MHz.
This threshold is equal to –16777216. This is a 33-bit long register,

Between 1500 MHz and 1520 MHz, there are 2500 ramps. For each

8.2.7 Continuous Sawtooth Ramp with FSK Example
A ramp and FSK can coexist at the same time. Since the amount of FSK is added to the instantaneous carrier,
the FSK will appear at the envelope of the ramp. Furthermore, a ramp and FSK are two independent operations,
their register settings can be combined in a single configuration setting. That is, when RAMP_EN is enabled,
both frequency ramp and FSK will be activated together.

8.2.8 Continuous Triangular Ramp Example
Two ramp segments are used to create this ramp pattern. RAMP0 ramps from 1500 MHz to 1520 MHz. RAMP1
brings the frequency back to 1500 MHz and then RAMP0 starts over again. Since RAMP1 already brought the
frequency back to 1500 MHz, which is also the start frequency of RAMP0, a reset to fractional numerator is not
required.

Ramp comparators are enabled so as to output flag signals when the threshold frequencies are hit. MOD pin is
assigned for CMP0 while TRIG1 pin is assigned for CMP1. RAMP_CMP0_EN is equal to 3 because ramp

8.2.9 Continuous Trapezoid Ramp Example
This is a long-ramp example, the ramp duration is 2 ms. Since fPD = 50 MHz, 100000 ramps are required for
each ramp segment. However, LMX2491 supports up to a maximum ramp length (RAMPx_LEN) of 65536 only.
There are two solutions to resolve this problem:
1. Reduce phase detector frequency. For example, reduce fPD to 25 MHz, then the required RAMPx_LEN
becomes 50000.
2. Enable RAMPx_DLY. When this register bit is set, the ramp generator will ramp every 2 phase detector
cycles instead of the normal 1 fPD cycle. In this example, this bit is set and as a result, RAMPx_LEN is
50000.
Four ramp segments are used to construct the ramp pattern. Again there is no need to reset the fractional
numerator because the last ramp end frequency is equal to the first ramp start frequency.

An arbitrary ramp waveform can be easily constructed with the 8 ramp segments provided in LMX2491.
LMX2491 also provides flag signals output to indicate the start of a ramp. This example used the MOD pin to
initiate the ramp and used TRIG1 and TRIG2 as the output flags to indicate the status of the ramp.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
For power supplies, TI recommends placing 100 nF close to each of the power supply pins. If fractional spurs are
a large concern, using a ferrite bead to each of these power supply pins can reduce spurs to a small degree.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
For layout examples, the EVM instructions are the most comprehensive document. In general, the layout
guidelines are similar to most other PLL devices. For the high frequency Fin pin, it is recommended to use 0402
components and match the trace width to these pad sizes. Also the same needs to be done on the Fin* pin. If
layout is easier to route the signal to Fin* instead of Fin, then this is acceptable as well.
