RF2512 Theory of Operation
Introduction
The RF2512 is a low cost FM/FSK UHF transmitter
designed for applications operating within the fre-
quency range of 300MHz to 1000MHz. In particular, it
is intended for 315/433/868MHz band systems, remote
keyless entry systems, and FCC Part 15.231 periodic
transmitters. It can also be used as a single- or dual-
channel local oscillator signal source. The integrated
VCO, phase detector, prescaler, and reference oscilla-
tor require only the addition of an external crystal to
provide a complete phase-locked loop.
The RF2512 is provided in a 24-pin SSOP-24 package
and is designed to operate from a supply voltage rang-
ing from 2.7V to 5.0V, accommodating designs using
three NiCd battery cells, two AAA flashlight cells, or a
lithium button battery. The device is capable of provid-
ing up to 15mW output power into a 50
load
(+11.8dBm) and is intended to comply with FCC
requirements for unlicensed remote control transmit-
ters.
RF2512 Functional Blocks
A PLL consists of a reference oscillator, a phase detec-
tor, a loop filter, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO),
and a programmable divider in the feedback path. The
RF2512 includes all of these internally except for the
loop filter and the reference oscillator's crystal and two
feedback capacitors.
The
reference oscillators are Colpitts type oscillators.
Pin 1 (OSC B2), pin 2 (OSC E), and pin 3 (OSC B1)
provide connections to the internal transistors that are
used as the reference oscillators. The Colpitts configu-
ration is a low parts count topology with reliable perfor-
mance and reasonable phase noise. Alternatively, an
external signal could be injected into the base of either
transistor. The drive level should, in either case, be
around 500mV
PP
. This level prevents overdriving the
device and keeps the phase noise and reference spurs
to a minimum.
The user sets which oscillator is operational by setting
pin 24 (OSC SEL) either high or low. This allows the
implementation of two channel systems.
The
prescaler divides the Voltage Controlled Oscilla-
tor (VCO) frequency down by either 64/65 or 128/129,
using a series of flip-flops, depending upon the logic
level present at pin 15 (DIV CTRL). A high logic level
will select the 64/65 divisor. A low logic level will select
the 128/129 divisor. This divided signal is then fed into
the phase detector where it is compared with the refer-
ence frequency.
In addition to the DIV CTRL setting, one also sets the
prescaler modulus by setting pin 14 (MOD CTRL)
either high or low. A high logic level will select the
64/128 divisor. A low logic level will select the 65/129
divisor.
Pin 12 (PRESCL OUT) provides access to the pres-
caler output. This is used for interfacing to an external
PLL IC.
The RF2512 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 compara-
tor". The circuit consists of two D flip-flops whose out-
puts 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 fre-
quency is related to the flip-flop input frequency.
When both inputs of the flip-flops are identical, the sig-
nals 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. This is where the
name "tri-state comparator" comes from.
The main benefit of this type of detector it's ability to
correct for errors in both phase and frequency. When
locked, the detector uses phase error for correction.
When unlocked, it will use the frequency error for cor-
rection. This type of detector will lock under all condi-
tions.
The prescaler and the phase detector bias voltage is
brought out through pin 13 (VREF P). This allows
bypassing of the of these two circuits to filter the refer-
ence crystal frequency.
The
charge pump consists of two transistors, one for
charging the loop filter and the other for discharging
the loop filter. It's 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
voltage controlled oscillator (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 collec-
tors. It is comprised an external varactor, a capacitor
and external inductors. The designer selects the induc-
tors 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 cir-
cuit, where it is divided down and compared to the ref-
erence oscillator frequency.
The PLL and VCO circuitry can be enabled by setting
applying a "high" logic level to pin 4 (PLL ENABL).
Conversely, the PLL and VCO circuitry will be turned
off if the level is tied "low".
The
transmit amplifier is a two stage amplifier con-
sisting of a driver and an open collector final stage. It is
capable of providing 12dBm of output power into a
50
load while operating from a 3.6V power supply.
The output power is adjustable by the setting of pin 7
(LVL ADJ). This analog input allows the designer a
12dB range of output power. As the LVL ADJ voltage is
reduced, the output power and current consumption
are reduced. LVL ADJ must be low when the transmit-
ter is disabled.
Additionally, the transmitter circuitry can be disabled
entirely by applying a "low" logic level to pin 11 (TX
ENABL). During transmission, this pin should be tied
"high". This pin controls all circuitry except for the PLL
circuitry.
During transmission the transmitter is enabled and the
impedance of the output pin, pin 8 (TX OUT), is low.
When the transmitter is not enabled, the impedance
becomes high.
The RF2512 contains onboard band gap reference
voltage circuitry which provides a stable
DC bias over
varying temperature and supply voltages.
Designing with the RF2512
The
reference oscillator is built around the onboard
transistor at pins 1, 2 and 3. The intended topology is
of a Colpitts oscillator. The Colpitts oscillator is quite
common and requires few external components, mak-
ing it ideal for low cost solutions. The topology of this
type of oscillator is as seen in the following figure.
This type of oscillator is a parallel resonant circuit for a
fundamental mode crystal. The transistor amplifier is
an emitter follower and the voltage gain is developed
by the tapped capacitor impedance transformer. The
series combination of C1 and C2 act in parallel with the
input capacitance of the transistor to capacitively load
the crystal.
The nominal capacitor values can be calculated with
the following equations.
and
The load capacitance is usually 32pF. The variable freq
is the oscillator frequency in MHz. The frequency can
be adjusted by either changing C
2
or by placing a vari-
able capacitor in series with the crystal. As an exam-
ple, assume a desired frequency of 14MHz and a load
capacitance of 32pF. C
1
=137.1pF and C
2
=41.7pF.
These capacitor values provide a starting point. The
drive level of the oscillator should be checked by look-
ing at the signal at pin 2 (OSC E). It has been found
that the level at this pin should generally be around
500mV
PP
or less. This will reduce the reference spur
levels and reduce noise from distortion. If this level is
higher than 500mV
PP
then decrease the value of C
1
.
The values of these capacitors are usually tweaked
during design to meet performance goals, such as
minimizing the start-up time.
Additionally, by placing a variable capacitor in series
with the crystal, one is able to adjust the frequency.
This will also alter the drive level, so it should be
checked again.
An important part of the overall design is the
voltage
controlled oscillator. The VCO is configured as a dif-
ferential amplifier. The VCO is tuned via the external
inductors, capacitor, and varactor. The varactor capaci-

tance is set by the loop filter output voltage through a
4k
resistor.
To tune the VCO the designer only needs to calculate
the value of the inductors connected to pins 18 and 20
(RESNTR- and RESNTR+). The inductor value is
determined by the following equation.
In this equation, f is the desired operating frequency
and L is the value of the inductor required. The value C
is the amount of capacitance presented by the varac-
tor, capacitor and parasitics. The factor of one-half is
due to the inductors being in each leg.
The setup of the VCO can be summarized as follows.
First, open the loop. Next, get the VCO to run on the
desired frequency by selecting the proper inductor and
capacitor values. The capacitor value will need to
include the varactor and circuit parasitics. After the
VCO is running at the desired frequency, then set the
VCO sensitivity.
The sensitivity is determined by connecting the control
voltage input point to ground and noting the frequency.
Then connect the same point to the supply and again
note the frequency. The difference between these two
frequencies divided by the supply voltage is the VCO
sensitivity expressed in Hz/V. Increasing the inductor
value while decreasing the capacitor value will
increase the sensitivity. Decreasing the inductor value
while increasing the capacitor value will lower the sen-
sitivity.
When increasing or decreasing component values,
make sure that the center frequency remains constant.
Finally, close the loop.
External to the part, the designer needs to implement a
loop filter to complete the PLL. The loop filter converts
the output of the charge pump into a voltage that is
used to control the VCO. Internally, the VCO is con-
nected to the charge pump output through a 4k
resis-
tor. The loop filter is then connected in parallel to this
point at pin 23 (LOOP FLT). This limits the loop filter
topology to a second order filter usually consisting of a
shunt capacitor and a shunt series RC. A passive filter
is most common, as it is a low cost and low noise
design. An additional pole could be used for reducing
the reference spurs, however there is not a way to add
the series resistor. This should not be a reason for con-
cern however.
The schematic of the loop filter is

constants. These are found using the equations

With these known, it is then possible to determine the
values of the filter components.
As an example, consider a loop bandwidth of 50kHz, a
phase margin of 45, a divide ratio of 64, a K
VCO
of
20MHz/V, and a K
PD
of 40
A/2

is 7.68468
s, C
1
is
8.35pF, C
2
is 40.3pF, and R
2
is 190.6k
.
In order to perform these calculations, one will need to
know the value of two constants, K
VCO
and K
PD
. K
PD
is
calculated by dividing the charge pump current by 2
.
For the RF2512, the charge pump current is 40
A.
K
VCO
is best found empirically as it will change with
frequency and board parasitics. By briefly connecting
pin 23 (LOOP FLT) to VCC and then to ground, the fre-
quency tuning range of the VCO can be seen. Dividing
the difference between these two frequencies by the
difference in the voltage gives K
VCO
in MHz/V.
The control lines provide an
interface for connecting
the device to a microcontroller or other signal generat-
ing mechanism. The designer can treat pin 16 (MOD
IN), pin 15 (DIV CTRL), pin 14 (MOD CTRL) and pin 7
(LVL ADJ) as control pins whose voltage level can be
set.
General
RF bypassing techniques must be observed
to get the best performance. Choose capacitors such
that they are series resonant near the frequency of
operation.
Board layout is always an area in which great care
must be taken. The board material and thickness are
used in calculating the RF line widths. The use of vias
for connection to the ground plane allows one to con-
nect to ground as close as possible to ground pins.
When laying out the traces around the VCO, it is desir-
able to keep the parasitics equal between the two legs.
This will allow equal valued inductors to be used.
Pre-compliance testing should be performed during
the design process. This can be done with a GTEM cell
or at a compliance testing laboratory. It is recom-
mended that pre-compliance testing be performed so
that there are no surprises during final compliance
testing. This will help keep the product development
and release on schedule.
Working with a laboratory offers the benefit of years of
compliance testing experience and familiarity with the
regulatory issues. Also, the laboratory can often pro-
vide feedback that will help the designer make the
product compliant.
On the other hand, having a GTEM cell or an open air
test site locally offers the designer the ability to rapidly
determine whether or not design changes impact the
product's compliance. Set-up of an open air test site
and the associated calibration is not trivial. An alterna-
tive is to use a GTEM test cell.
After the design has been completed and passes com-
pliance testing, application will need to be made with
the respective regulatory bodies for the geographic
region in which the product will be operated to obtain
final certifications.
Conclusions
The RF2512 is an FM/FSK UHF transmitter that fea-
tures a phase-locked output. This device is suitable for
use in a CFR Part 15.231 compliant product as well as
a local oscillator signal source. Further, the RF2512 is
packaged in a low cost SSOP-24 plastic package and
requires few external parts, thus making it suitable for
low cost designs.
