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
there is a crystal frequency multiplier to generate this signal by
squaring the crystal oscillator waveform and selecting the
desired harmonic. To multiply the crystal frequency by 3 or 5
output LO2 is driven at the reference frequency with a 1:1 mark
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 external components shown in Figure 15 giving 44.55 MHz
derived from 14.85 MHz crystal. The 6.8k
resistor and 5.6pF
capacitor represent the input impedance of a typical IF
amplifier LO input.
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:
Typical frequencies generated by the multiplier are:

Band-Gap Reference
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
of an external reference voltage on pin DECOUP the following
Set-up command can be used:
where the band-gap is powered down if DATA3 bit D6 is LOW
or is active if DATA3 bit D6 is HIGH.
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:

where the value in DATA1, G
sets the gain from band-gap
to output voltage according to the approximate equation:
For a typical V
of 1·2 V the number is approximately 144
(= 90
) and for a typical V
of 1·3 V the number is approxi-
mately 70 (= 46
HEX
) and a suitable trimming pattern can be
chosen.
