SP5669
2.7GHz I
2
C Bus Controlled Synthesiser
Preliminary Information
DS4852 - 1.4 November 1997
The SP5669 is a single chip frequency synthesiser
designed for tuning systems up to 2.7GHz and offers step size
compatible with DTT offset requirements.
The RF preamplifier drives a divide by two prescaler which
can be disabled for applications up to 2GHz, allowing direct
interfacing with the programmable divider so enabling a step
size equal to the comparison frequency. For applications up to
2.7GHz the divide by two is enabled, giving a step size of twice
the comparison frequency.
The comparison frequency is obtained either from an on–
chip crystal controlled oscillator, or from an external source.
The oscillator frequency F
ref
or the comparison frequency
F
comp
may be switched to the REF/COMP output. This feature
is ideally suited to providing the reference frequency for a
second synthesiser such as in a double conversion tuner (see
Fig. 8).
The synthesiser is controlled via an I
2
C bus, and responds
to one of four programmable addresses which are selected by
applying a specific voltage to the ‘address’ input. This feature
enables two or more synthesisers to be used in a system.
The device contains four switching ports P0–P3 and a
5–level ADC. The output of the ADC can be read via the I
2
C
bus.
The device also contains a varactor line disable and charge
pump disable facility.
