Introduction

The RF2052 is a low power, high performance, wideband RF frequency conversion chip with integrated local oscillator (LO) generation and RF mixer. The RF synthesizer includes an integrated fractional-N phase locked loop with voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) and dividers to produce a low-phase noise LO signal with a very fine frequency resolution. The buffered LO output drives the built-in RF mixer which converts the signal into the required frequency band. The mixer bias current can be programmed dependent on the required performance and available supply current. The LO generation blocks have been designed to continuously cover the frequency range from 300MHz to 2400MHz. The RF mixer is very broad band and operates from 30MHz to 2500MHz at the input and output, enabling both up and down conversion. An external crystal of between 10MHz and 52MHz or an external reference source of between 10MHz and 104MHz can be used with the RF2052 to accommodate a variety of reference frequency options.

All on-chip registers are controlled through a simple three-wire serial interface. The RF2052 is designed for 2.7V to 3.6V operation for compatibility with portable, battery powered devices. It is available in a plastic 32-pin, 5mmx5mm QFN package.

The RF2052 is a wideband RF frequency converter chip which includes a fractional-N phase-locked loop, a crystal oscillator circuit, a low noise VCO core, an LO buffer, and an RF mixer. Synthesizer programming, device configuration and control are achieved through a mixture of hardware and software controls. All on-chip registers are programmed through a simple threewire serial interface.

The VCO core in the RF2052 consists of three VCOs which, in conjunction with the integrated 2/4 LO divider, cover the LO range from 300MHz to 2400MHz.
