ML5800
5.8GHz Low-IF 1.5Mbps FSK Transceiver
FINAL Datasheet
DS5800-F-02
MARCH 2004
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML5800 is a high integration 5.8GHz Frequency
Shift Keyed (FSK) transceiver that integrates all
frequency generation, receive, and transmit functions
required to realize a digital cordless telephone. Only a
power amplifier (PA) and antenna switch are required to
form a complete 5.8GHz digital radio. The ML5800
operates in the 5.725 to 5.850 GHz unlicensed ISM
band. It can be used to implement both Direct
Sequence and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
radios.
The ML5800 contains a dual-conversion low-IF receiver
with all channel selectivity on chip. IF filtering, IF gain,
and demodulation are performed on chip eliminating
the need for any external IF filters or production tuning.
A post detection filter and a data slicer are integrated to
complete the receiver.
The ML5800 transmitter uses an adjustment-free two-
port closed loop modulator, which modulates the on-
chip VCO with filtered data. An upconversion mixer and
buffer/predriver produces output of 0dBm at 5.8GHz. A
fully integrated 3.9GHz fractional synthesizer is used in
both receive and transmit modes. Power supply
regulation is included in the ML5800, providing circuit
isolation and consistent performance over supply
voltages between 2.7V-3.6V.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ML5800 enables the design and manufacture of low-cost, small yet high-performance digital RF transceivers in the
relatively interference-free 5.8GHz ISM band. Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) is a constant-envelope modulation, which
allows the use of high-efficiency class C power amplifier (such as the ML5803) resulting in longer battery life.
Integrated in the ML5800 is a dual-conversion low-IF receiver with completely integrated filters, all frequency generation
circuits, and transmit circuits. On-chip regulators protect critical circuits from power-supply noise and allow for
consistent performance over the supply voltage range.
The ML5800 transmits and receives 1.536 Mbps FSK data in the 5.725 to 5.850GHz ISM band. The high data rate
allows for direct sequence spread spectrum coding, which increases interference rejection and input sensitivity at the
cost of reduced effective data rate. For example, a 15-chip spreading sequence results in 11.7dB of processing gain
and a `raw' data rate of 102.4Kbps.
The ML5800 contains a dual-conversion low-IF receiver. The first IF frequency of 1.9 GHz gives an image response,
also at 1.9 GHz. An off-chip filter is needed to protect the receiver from this image and from IF feedthrough. The second
IF frequency of 1.024 MHz results in an image response in an adjacent channel. The quadrature image-reject mixer
and low IF filter combine to achieve a typical image rejection of 35 dB. All IF filtering and demodulation are performed
on chip using active filtering, centered at 1.024 MHz. A matched bit-rate filter and data slicer follow the demodulator
and provide sliced data at the DOUT pin. Buffered analog (unsliced) data is available on the AOUT_TPC pin.
The ML5800 transmitter uses a fractional-N PLL and two-port closed loop modulation to accurately impress the FSK
signal on the 5.8GHz carrier. Closed loop modulation techniques allow for continuous transmission or reception of data
without significant frequency drift, making the ML5800 ideal for wireless streaming media applications. A lock-detect
circuit monitors the state of the PLL loop. When the PLL is out of lock the transmitter output is disabled.
The frequency generation circuits are comprised of a fully integrated 3.9GHz VCO local oscillator (LO), dividers, a
phase comparator, and a charge pump for a PLL frequency synthesizer. A fractional-N PLL applies the low frequency
data modulation onto the LO. The LO is halved to generate accurate quadrature signals at 1.9 GHz for the second LO.
The LO PLL is programmed via the three-wire serial bus (CLK, DATA, EN). There is no error checking of the program
data. This bus is functional, and register contents are preserved in STANDBY mode.

MODES OF OPERATION
The ML5800 has three key modes of operation:
STANDBY:
All circuits powered down, except the control interface (static CMOS)
RECEIVE:
Receiver circuits active
TRANSMIT:
Transmitter circuits active
MODE CONTROL
The two modes of operational are RECEIVE and TRANSMIT, controlled by RXON. XCEN is the chip enable/disable
control pin, which sets the device in operational or STANDBY modes. The relationship between the parallel control lines
and the mode of operation of the IC is summarized in Table 1.

Table 1: Modes of Operation
STANDBY MODE
In STANDBY mode, the ML5800 transceiver is powered down. The only active circuits are the control interfaces, which
are static CMOS to minimize power consumption. The serial control interface and control registers remain powered up
and will accept and retain programming data as long as the VDD and VCCA are present. When exiting STANDBY
mode, remain in RECEIVE mode for at least 62.5
s (typ) to allow for filter calibration.
RECEIVE MODE
In RECEIVE mode, the received signal at 5.8 GHz is down converted, bandpass filtered (IF filter), fed to the frequency-
to-voltage converter, and low-pass filtered. The output of the low-pass filter is available at both the AOUT_TPC pin and
to the on-chip data slicer, which outputs NRZ digital data to the DOUT pin. An RSSI voltage output indicates the RF
input signal level at the output of the IF filter.
Receive Signal Strength Indication (RSSI)
RSSI is an indication of field strength. It can be used by the system to determine transmit power control (conserve
battery life) and/or to determine if a given channel is occupied.
Automatic Filter Alignment
When the chip is powered up the tuning information is reset to mid-range. In the first 62.5
s of RECEIVE mode (RXON
set high) the ML5800 performs filter self-calibration, which tunes all the internal filters relative to the signal on the FREF
pin. Valid data is received after calibration is completed. Self-calibration sets:
Discriminator center frequency
IF filter center frequency and bandwidth
Receiver data low-pass filter bandwidth
Transmit data low-pass filter bandwidth

TRANSMIT MODE
In TRANSMIT mode, the PLL loop is closed to eliminate frequency drift. A two-port modulator modulates both the VCO
and the fractional-N PLL. The VCO is directly modulated with filtered FSK transmit data. The PLL is driven by a sigma-
delta modulator, which ensures that the PLL follows the mean frequency of the modulated VCO.
PLL Programming & Channel Selection
The ML5800 PLL is programmed with a 14bit word to set the RF center frequency of the radio. The channel frequency
(f
c
) is given by:
f
c
= 1.5 * 6.144 * (512 +N/2 + (P+11)/18) MHz
Where N is the "integer" portion and P is the "fractional" portion of the synthesizer. See Register 1 Description for
further details on how to program the channel frequency plan in the control register.

CONTROL INTERFACES
There are two sets of control interfaces for the ML5800:
RF Control:
XCEN, RXON, FREF, RSSI, PAON, AOUT_TPC
Serial Bus Control:
EN, DATA, CLK
The ML5800 transceiver is used in time division duplex (TDD) mode, where the transceivers at each end of a radio link
alternately transmit and receive. Immediately before data is transmitted or received the ML5800 goes through a `self-
calibration' sequence, where the IF and data filters are frequency aligned while the PLL settles to the carrier frequency.
These calibration cycles are triggered by logic transitions on the control interface. Figure 3 shows the normal operating
cycle for the ML5800.

To implement channel scanning, the ML5800 is kept in RECEIVE mode (XCEN and RXON high) and the PLL is
reprogrammed to select a different RF channel. A filter calibration cycle is initiated by each serial bus write to the
register controlling the PLL modulus, so that filter alignment is updated as the VCO settles to the next programmed
channel frequency. Serial bus writes to other registers do not trigger a calibration cycle. Signal diagram for channel
scanning is shown in Figure 4.

Table 2: Transceiver Control Interface Timing
RF CONTROL: XCEN, RXON, FREF, RSSI, PAON & TPC
The XCEN pin enables/disables the ML5800 and places the device in either standby or active modes. The default
power up is in RECEIVE mode.
The RXON pin determines which active mode the ML5800 is in: RECEIVE or TRANSMIT.
The FREF pin is the master reference frequency for the transceiver. It supplies the frequency reference for the RF
channel frequency and the on-chip filter tuning. The FREF pin is a CMOS input with on-chip biasing resistors. It can be
driven by an AC coupled sine-wave source or by a CMOS logic output. FREF is used as a calibration frequency and as
a timing reference in the control circuits. The reference source must be accurate to 20 PPM.
The RSSI pin supplies a voltage that indicates the amplitude of the received RF signal. It is connected to the input of a
low-speed ADC on the baseband IC, and is used during channel scanning to detect clear channels on which the radio
can transmit. The RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) voltage is proportional to the logarithm of the received
power level.
The ML5800 has two output pins that control and sequence the power amplifier (PA): PAON and AOUT_TPC.
The PAON (PA control) is a 5mA CMOS output that controls an off-chip RF PA and T/R switch (can directly drive PIN
diodes). It outputs a logic high when the PA should be enabled and a logic low at all other times. This output is inhibited
when the PLL fails to lock.
When digital data output (DOUT) is used, the AOUT_TPC pin is an open-drain output intended for transmit power
control (TPC). It is configured by Bit 4 in Register 0 (AOUT) and when selected as a TPC output, reflects the state of Bit
7 in Register 0 (TPC). The TPC register bit can be changed at any time, but the AOUT_TPC pin does not change state
until the beginning of the next transmit slot, triggered by a falling edge on RXON. In analog data output mode, the
AOUT_TPC pin becomes the analog data output to an off-chip data slicer.

SERIAL BUS CONTROL: EN, DATA, CLK
A 3-wire serial interface is used for programming the ML5800 configuration registers, which control device mode of
operation, pin functions, PLL and reference dividers, internal test modes and filter alignment. Data words are entered
beginning with the MSB. The word is divided into a leading 14-bit data field followed by a 2-bit address field. When the
address field has been decoded the destination register is loaded on the rising edge of EN. Providing less than 16
bits of data will result in unpredictable behavior when EN goes high.
Data and clock signals are ignored when EN is high. When EN is low, data on the DATA pin is clocked into a shift
register by rising edges on the CLK pin. The information is loaded into the addressed latch when EN returns high. This
serial interface bus is an industry standard bus commonly found on PLL devices. It can be efficiently programmed by
either byte or 16-bit word oriented serial bus hardware. The data latches are implemented in CMOS and use minimal
power when the bus is inactive. See Figure 5 and Table 3.

TRANSMIT & RECEIVE DATA INTERFACES
There are two sets of transmit and receive data interfaces for the ML5800:
Baseband Data:
DIN, DOUT, AOUT
RF Data:
RXI, TXO
BASEBAND DATA: DIN, DOUT, AOUT
The DIN pin is a CMOS-level serial data input for FSK modulation on the radio channel. This DIN pin drives data bits
into the two-port transmit modulator. When used with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), the chip rate, bit rate
and spreading code are determined in the baseband processor and the FM deviation and transmit filtering are
determined in the ML5800. There is no re-timing of the chips, so the transmitted FSK chips take their timing from the
data on this pin.
The DOUT pin is a corresponding CMOS-level digital data output. The data on this pin is valid only when the run length
of the transmitted digital data is limited to consecutive 1's or 0's no longer than 3
s.
When longer run lengths are used, an off-chip data slicer is required, driven from the AOUT_TPC pin. Setting the AOUT
bit in Register 0 turns the AOUT_TPC pin into a buffered, single-ended analog output from the data filter. This output
can be used to drive an off-chip data slicer or an ADC input for a DSP data slicer. Clock recovery for both DOUT and
AOUT modes is performed in the baseband.
RF DATA: RXI, TXO
The RXI receive input (pin 20) and the TXO transmit output (pin 21) are the only RF I/O pins. The RXI pin requires a
simple impedance matching network for best input noise figure, and the TXO pin also requires a matching network for
maximum power output into 50
. The voltage on the modulation port swings above and below its central value to
produce 2-FSK modulation on the VCO. (See Figure 6)
For best performance, all RF ground pins must have a direct connection to the RF ground plane, and the RF supply
pins must be well decoupled from the RF ground pins.

REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS
A 3-wire serial data input bus sets the ML5800's transceiver parameters and programs the PLL circuits. Entering 16-bit
words into the ML5800 serial interface performs programming. Three 16-bit registers are partitioned such that 14 bits
are dedicated for data to program the operation and two bits identify the register address. The contents of these
registers cannot be read back.
The three registers are:
Register 0: PLL Configuration
Register 1: RF Channel Frequency Configuration
Register 2: Test Mode Access
Figure 7 shows a register map. Table 4 through Table 21 provide detailed diagrams of the register organization: Table
4
outlines the PLL configuration register (Register 0), Table 17 describes the channel frequency register (Register 1),
and displays the filter tuning and test mode register (Register 2).

Power-On State
On power up, all register bits are cleared to the default value of 0 (zero). Power up is defined as occurring when VDD =
2.0V. The register default values are valid upon power up.
Register Format
The two least significant bits of every register are the address bits ADR <1:0>. Each register is divided into a data field
and address field. The data field is the leading field, while the last two bits clocked into the register are always the
address field. When EN goes high, the address field is decoded and the addressed destination register is loaded. The
last 16 bits clocked into the serial bus are loaded into the register. Clocking in less than 16 bits may result in an
incorrect entry into the register.

N = 2046. The 4-bit "P" field is the fractional part of the division ratio, modulo 9. Values from 0 (0000b) to 8 (1000b) are
valid.
The relationship between N and P with a given channel frequency F is:
F = 1.5 * 6.144 * (512 +N/2 + (P+11)/18) MHz
To calculate N and P from the channel frequency, F (in MHz) use these formulae:
N = MOD [Floor ((F/4.608) 0.512 ((P+11)/18)), 1024]
P= MOD [Round (F/0.512 11), 9]

ATM<2:0>
Analog Test Control Bits: The performance of the ML5800 is not specified in these test modes. Although primarily
intended for IC test and debug, they also can help in debugging the radio system. The default (power-up) state of these
bits is ATM<2:0> = <0,0,0>. When a non-zero value is written to the field, the RSSI and AOUT_TPC pins become
analog test access ports, giving access to the outputs of key signal processing stages in the transceiver. During normal
operation, the ATM field must be set to zero (see Table 19).

TMODE and CFB <6:0>
The TMODE bit disables the automatic filter alignment circuitry, and then the CFB field directly tunes the filter. The CFB
field is a 7 bit binary value that tunes the IF and data filters. The correct value for CFB6 to CFB0 varies depending
upon absolute values of the integrated resistors and capacitors on the chip. The IF filter center frequency, IF filter
bandwidth, data filter bandwidth and F to V converter center frequency are all tuned together by the CFB field (see
Table 21).
