SL2017 Evaluation Board

Links and Switches

This board has been created to show the operation of the

SL2017 mixer together with the SP5659 low phase noise

synthesiser. Schematics for the board are shown in Figs. 11a

and 11b.

In a real system, the IF output would be fed to a SAW filter

then onto either an FM demodulator such as the SL1466, or an

IQ downconverter such as the SL1710 or SL1711. Control of

the AGC would be via a loop, which should be set up to ensure

that the SL1466, SL1710 or other IF chip receives the correct

level for optimum performance.

For full evaluation, 30V and 5V supplies are necessary,

together with I2C data, RF signal sources and test equipment.

The board is provided with the following:

AGC SELECT switch

This switches between programmable control of the

SL2017 AGC, via port P1 of the SP5659, or direct control via

the pin TP1, EXTERNAL AGC VOLTAGE.

In normal application , the AGC will be controlled via a loop,

such that the IF chip which follows is fed with the desired input

level.

Programming of SP5659 Synthesiser

Supplies

The board must be provided with the following supplies:

a) 5V for the SL2017 and SP5659 and external oscillator and

30V for the varactor line.

The supply connector is a 3 pin 0.1" pitch pin header. The

centre pin of the connector is GND.

I2C Bus connections

b) The board is provided with an RJ11 I2C bus connector

which feeds directly to the SP5659 synthesiser.

This connects to a standard 6-way connector cable which

is supplied with the I2C/3-wire bus interface box.

Input and Output connections

The board is provided with the following connectors:

a) RF I/P SMA connector (SMA1) which is AC coupled to the

RF input of the SL2017.

b) IF OUT 1 (SMA2) and IF OUT 2 (SMA5). These outputs

may be selected by switching port P0 on the SP5659.

The standard IF output frequencies used are typically

402.75MHz or 479.5MHz. Either IF output may be connected

directly to 50Ω test equipment such as a spectrum analyser.

Details of programming the SL2017 are included below.

The SP5659 synthesiser is used to set the frequency of the

VCO. Since high sided mixing is normally employed in satellite

tuners, the VCO should be set to the IF above the wanted input

channel.

Example:

To mix a wanted channel at 1020.5MHz down

to 479.5MHz.

The synthesiser must be programmed to 1020.5MHz +

479.5MHz = 1500MHz.

Send I2C data C2 0B B8 93 40 to the SP5659. See Table

1 for example I2C codes.

C2 is the address byte (byte 1).

0B B8 is the programmable divider information (bytes 2 and 3).

(i.e. 1500MHz / 500kHz = 3000 = 0BB8Hex)

93 is the programmable and reference divider information

(byte 4). This will enable the prescaler and program the

reference divider to a divide by 16 mode giving a 250kHz

phase comparator frequency with a 500kHz step size when a

4MHz crystal is used.

40 is charge pump and port control data (byte 5).

The code 40 will set the charge pump current to 260uA. All

ports will be switched off.

If it is required to use the SP5659 (for VCO < 2GHz) with the

prescaler disabled it is recommended that data is initially sent

to enable the prescaler. This will avoid a potential 'lock out'

situation arising when the LO frequency is greater than 2GHz.
