RF2516  
The RF2516 contains an onboard phase detector and charge pump. The phase detector compares the phase of the reference  
oscillator to the phase of the VCO. The phase detector is implemented using flip-flops in a topology referred to as either “digital  
phase/frequency detector” or “digital tri-state comparator”. The circuit consists of two D flip-flops whose outputs are combined  
with a NAND gate which is then tied to the reset on each flip-flop. The outputs of the flip-flops are also connected to the charge  
pump. Each flip-flop output signal is a series of pulses whose frequency is related to the flip-flop input frequency.  
When both inputs of the flip-flops are identical, the signals are both frequency- and phase-locked. If they are different, they will  
provide signals to the charge pump which will either charge or discharge the loop filter, or enter into a high impedance state.  
The name “tri-state comparator” comes from this.  
The main benefit of this type of detector is the ability to correct for errors in both phase and frequency. When locked, the detec-  
tor uses phase error for correction. When unlocked, it uses frequency error for correction. This type of detector will lock under  
all conditions.  
The charge pump consists of two transistors, one for charging the loop filter and the other for discharging the loop filter. Its  
inputs are the outputs of the phase detector flip-flops. Since there are two flip-flops, there are four possible states. If both  
amplifier inputs are low, then the amplifier pair goes into a high impedance state, maintaining the charge on the loop filter. The  
state where both inputs are high will not occur. The other states are either charging or discharging the loop filter. The loop filter  
integrates the pulses coming from the charge pump to create a control voltage for the voltage controlled oscillator.  
The VCO is a tuned differential amplifier with the bases and collectors cross-coupled to provide positive feedback and a 360°  
phase shift. The tuned circuit is located in the collectors, and is comprised of internal varactors and external inductors. The  
designer selects the inductors for the desired frequency of operation. These inductors also provide DC bias for the VCO.  
The output of the VCO is buffered and applied to the prescaler circuit, where it is divided by either 32 or 64, as selected by the  
designer, and compared to the reference oscillator frequency.  
The transmit amplifier is a two-stage amplifier consisting of a driver and an open collector final stage. It is capable of providing  
10dBm of output power into a 50Ω load while operating from a 3.6V power supply.  
The lock-detect circuitry connects to the output of the phase detector circuitry and is used to disable the transmitter when the  
VCO is not phase-locked to the reference oscillator. This is necessary to avoid unwanted out-of-band transmission and to pro-  
vide compliance with regulatory limits during an unlocked condition.  
There are many possible reasons for the PLL not to be locked. For instance, there is a short period during the start of any VCO  
in which the VCO begins oscillating and the reference oscillator builds up to full amplitude. During this period, the frequency  
will likely be outside the authorized band. Typically, the VCO starts much faster than the reference oscillator. Once both VCO  
and reference oscillators are running, the phase detector can start slewing the VCO to the correct frequency, slowly sliding  
across 200MHz of occupied spectrum. In competitive devices, the VCO radiates at full power under all of these conditions.  
The lock protection circuit in the RF2516 is intended to stabilize quickly after power is applied to the chip, and to disable the  
base drive to the transmit amplifier. This attenuates the output to levels that will be generally acceptable to regulatory boards  
as spurious emissions. Once the phase detector has locked the oscillators, then the lock circuit enables the MOD IN pin for  
transmission of the desired data. There is no need for an external microprocessor to monitor the lock status, although that can  
be done with a low current A/D converter in a system micro, if needed. The lock-detect circuitry contains an internal resistor  
which, combined with a designer-chosen capacitor for a particular RC time constant, filters the lock-detect signal. This signal is  
then passed through an internal Schmitt trigger and used to enable or disable the transmit amplifier.  
If the oscillator unlocks, even momentarily, the protection circuit quickly disables the output until the lock is stable. These  
unlocks can be caused by low battery voltage, poor power supply regulation, severe shock of the crystal or VCO, antenna load-  
ing, component failure, or a myriad of unexpected single-point failures.  
The RF2516 contains onboard band gap reference voltage circuitry which provides a stable DC bias over varying temperature  
and supply voltages. Additionally, the device features a power-down mode, eliminating battery disconnect switches.
