ACE9030
Typical performance for noise power measured in the
adjacent channels,16 kHz wide at 25 kHz offset is – 70 dBc.
To power down the multiplier if it is not required, a Normal
command can be used with DATA3 bit D6 set to LOW, to set
the multiplier power on DATA3 bit D6 should be set to HIGH:

Band-Gap Reference
82 pF
A band-gap voltage reference is used to set levels in the
ADC, in the DAC’s and the currents in the synthesiser charge
pumps. This voltage is smoothed by an external decoupling
capacitor on the DECOUP pin.
The voltage derived for the ADC full range reference can
be monitored through pin DOUT8. The Radio Interface DAC
reference is nominally the same as the ADC reference and it
can be monitored independantly of DOUT8 by setting DAC3
(the low output impedance DAC) to full scale.
To power down the band-gap reference to allow the use
ofanexternalreferencevoltageonpinDECOUPthefollowing
Set-up command can be used:

Crystal Multiplier for LO2
To mix the first intermediate frequency signal down to the
second IF a second local oscillator is needed. In the ACE9030
thereisacrystalfrequencymultipliertogeneratethissignalby
squaring the crystal oscillator waveform and selecting the
desired harmonic. To multiply the crystal frequency by 3 or 5

space ratio. This ratio of 1:1 is chosen to minimise the even
harmonics, especially the second and fourth. A tuned circuit
will pick off the required harmonic. ACE9030 is specified with

The band-gap voltage multiplier for the ADC and DAC
reference (nominally 3·45 V) can be adjusted by a Set-up
command to correct for production spreads:

For a typical VBG of 1·2 V the number is approximately 144

chosen.
