Functional Description
The PE 33 41 c o ns is ts of a du al mo dul us pr es caler,
three programmable counters, a phase detector
with charge pump and control logic with EEPROM
memory (see Figure 1).
The dual modulus prescaler divides the VCO
frequency by either 10 or 11, depending on the
state of th e internal modulus select logic. The R
and M counters divide the reference and prescaler
outputs by integer values stored in one of three
selectable registers. The modulu s sele ct logic
uses th e 4- bi t A coun ter .
The ph as e- freque nc y detector generat es up and
down frequency control signals that direct the
char g e pump o peratio n, an d ar e als o us e d to
enable a lock detect circuit.
Frequency control data is loaded into the device
via the Serial Data Port, and can be placed in
three separate frequency registers. One of these
registers (EE register) is used to load from and
write to the non-volatile 20-bit EEPROM.
Various operational and test modes are available
through the enhancement register, which is only
accessible through the Serial Data Port (it cannot
be lo aded from the EEPROM).
Main Counter Chain
The main counter chain divides the RF input
frequency, Fin, by an integer derived from the
user-defined values in the M and A counters. It
operates in two modes:
High Frequency Mode
Setting PB (prescaler bypass) LOW enables the
÷10 /1 1 pr esc aler, pr ovi di n g op er ation to 2.7 GHz .
In this mode, the output from the main counter
chain, fp, is related to the VCO frequency, Fin, by
the following equation:
fp = Fin / [10 x (M + 1) + A] (1)
wh ere 0
A
15 and A
M + 1; 1
M
511
When the loop is lo cked, Fin is related to the
reference freque nc y, fr, by the fo llowing equation:
Fin = [10 x (M + 1) + A] x (fr / (R+1)) (2)
wh ere 0
A
15 and A
M + 1; 1
M
511
A consequence of the uppe r lim it on A is th at F in
must be greater than or equ al to 90 x (fr / (R+1)) to
obtain contiguous channels. Programming the M
counter with the min imum value of 1 will result in a
minimum M counter divide ra tio of 2.
Programming the M and A counters with their
maximum values provides a divide ratio of 5135.
Prescaler Bypass Mode
Setti ng the PB bi t of a fr eq ue ncy re gis ter HIGH
allo ws F in to bypass the ÷10/11 prescaler. In this
mode , t he pr escaler an d A co un ter ar e powered
down, and the input VCO frequency is divided by
the M counter directly. The following equation
relate s Fin to the reference freque ncy fr:
Fin = (M + 1) x (fr / (R+1)) (3)
wh ere 1 M 511
Refe rence Counter
The reference counter chain divides the reference
freq ue nc y, fr, down to the phase detector
compar i son freq ue nc y, fc.
The output frequency of the 6-bit R Counter is
related to the reference frequency by the follo wing
equation:
fc = fr / (R + 1) (4)
where 0
R
63
Not e that programming R with 0 will pass the
reference freque nc y, fr, directly to the phase
detecto r.
Phase Detector and Charge Pump
The phase detector is triggered by rising edges
from the main co unter (fp) and the re fe rence
co unte r (fc). It has two outputs, PD_U, and PD_D.
If the divided VCO leads the divided reference in
phase or frequency (fp leads fc), PD_D p ul s es
LOW. If the divided reference leads the divided
VCO in phase or freq uency (fc leads fp), PD_U
pulses LOW. The width of either pulse is directly
prop or ti o nal to th e phas e offset betw e en th e fp an d
fc signals.
The signals from the phase detector are also
routed to an internal charge pump. PD_U controls
a current source at pin CP, and PD_D controls a
curr ent sink at pin CP. Whe n usi n g a posi ti ve Kv
VCO, PD_U pulses (current source) will increase
the VCO f requency, and PD_D pulses ( current
sink) will decrease VCO frequency.

Lock Detect Output
A lock detect signal is provided at pin LD, via the
pin CEXT (see Figure 1). CEXT is the logical “NAND”
of PD_U and PD_D waveforms, driven through a
series 2k ohm resistor. When the loop is locked,
th is ou tput will be HIGH with narrow pulses LOW.
Connecting CEXT to an external shunt capacitor
prov id es integrati on of thi s signal.
The CEXT signal is sent to the LD pin through an
internal inverting comparator with an open drain
output. Thus LD is an “AND” function of PD_U
and PD_D.
Serial Data Port
The Serial Data Port allows control data to be
entered into the device. This data can be directed
into on e of thr e e re gi sters: the Enhanc em ent
register, the Primary register, and the EE register.
Table 7 defines the control line settings required
to select one of these destinations.
Input data pres en ted on pi n 5 (Data) is cloc ked
serially into the designated register on the rising
edge of Clock. Data is always loaded LSB (B0)
first into the receiving register. Figure 4 defines
the timing re quirements for this process.

Frequency Registers
There are three independent frequency registers,
any one of which can be selected to control the
operation of the device. Each register is 20 bits in
length, and provides data to the three counters
and t he pr escaler by p as s c on tr ol . Tabl e 8 defines
thes e bi t ass ignment s.
Primary Register
The Primary Register is a serial shift register,
loaded through the Se rial Data Port. It can be
selected to control the PLL as shown in Table 9.
It is not buffered, thus when this register is
selected to control the PLL, its data is
continuously presented to the counters during a
load operation.
This register is also used to perform a parallel
load of data into the Secondary Register.
Secondary Register
The Secondary Register is a parallel-load register.
Data is copied into this register from the Primary
Register on the rising edge of S_WR, according to
the timing diagrams shown in Figure 3. It can be
selected to control the PLL as shown in Table 9.
EE Register
The EE Register is a serial/parallel-in, serial/
parallel-out register, and provides the interface to
the EEPROM. It is loaded from the Serial Data
Port to provide the parallel data source when
writing to the EEPROM. It also accepts stored
data from the EEPROM for cont rolling the PLL.
Serial loading of the EE Register is done as
shown in Table 7 and Figure 4. Parallel loading of
the register from EEPROM is accomplished as
shown in Table 10.
The EE register can be selected to control the PLL
as shown in Table 9. Note that it cannot be
selected to control the PLL using data that has
been loaded serially. This is because it must first
go through one of the two conditions in Table 10
that causes the EEPROM data to be copied into
the EE Register. The effect of this is that only
EEPROM data is used when the EE Register is
selected.
The contents of the EE register can also be
shifte d out seri all y through the Do ut pin. This
mode is enabled by appropriately programming
the Enhancement Register. In this mode, data
exits the register on the rising edge of Clock, LSB
(B0) first, and is replaced with the data present on
the Da ta input pin. Tables 7 and 12 define the
set tings required to enable th is mode.

Enhancement Register
The Enhancement Register is a buffered serial
shift register, loaded from the Serial Data Port. It
activates special test and operating modes in the
PLL. The bit assignments for these modes are
shown in Table 11.
The fu ncti o ns of the se Enhancement Re gi ster bi ts
are shown in Table 12. A function becomes active
when its corresponding bit is set HIGH. Note that
bits 1, 2, 5, and 6 direct various data to the Dout
pin, an d for v ali d op er ati o n no m or e th an on e
should be set HIGH simultaneous ly.
The Enhancement Register is buffered to prevent
inadvertent control changes during serial loading.
Data that has been loaded into the register is cap-
tured in the buffer and made available to the PLL
on the falling edge of E_WR.
A separate control line is provided to enable and
disable the Enhancement mode. Functions are
enabled by taking the ENH control line LOW.
Note: The enhancement register bit values are
unknown during power up. To avoid enabling the
enhancement mode during power up, set the ENH
pin high (“1”) until the enhancement register bit
values are programmed to a known state.

EEPROM Programming
Frequency control data that is present in the EE
Register can be written to the non-volatile
EEPROM. All 20 bits are written simultaneously
in a parallel operation. The EEPROM is
guaranteed for at least 10 0 erase/write cycles.
Erase Cycle
The EE PR OM sho ul d be taken through an eras e
cycle before writing data, since the write operation
performs a logical AND of the EEPROM’s current
contents with the data in the EE Register. Erasing
the EEPR OM is accompl is h ed by holdin g the
S_WR , EES el , an d EEL o ad i np uts HIGH , th en
appl y ing one ER A SE pr o gr am m i ng volt ag e pul se
to the VPP input (see Table 13). The voltage
source for this operation must be ca pable of
supplying the EEPROM erase cycle current
(IPP_ERASE, Table 5). The timing diagram is
shown in Figure 5.
Write Cycle
Using the Serial Data Port, the EE Register is first
loaded with the desired data. The EEPROM is
then pr ogramm ed wit h this da ta by taki n g th e
S_WR input HIGH and EESel input LOW, then
applying one WRITE programming voltage pulse
to the VPP input. The voltage source for this
oper ati o n m us t be capabl e of sup pl yi n g t he
EEPROM write cycle cu rrent (IPP_WRITE, Table
5). T he ti m ing di a gr am of thi s operatio n is s h ow n
in Figure 6. Programming is completed by taking
the EELoad input LOW.
Note that it is possible to erroneou sly overwrite
the EE Register with the EEPROM contents
bef or e th e wri te c yc l e be gi ns by un ne eded

Gross EEPRO M Programming Timing Grid
Figure 7 shows a gross PE3341 EEPROM
programm i ng tim i ng gr i d although each indi vidual
step has been describ ed thoroughly in previous
sections. It starts with EE Register load, and then
together with ot her parame ters a Vpp_ERASE
negati ve pulse is appl ied to Vpp pi n to er as e t he
EEPROM contents and followed by a Vpp_WRITE
pulse for EEPROM write cycle. The separation
between the Vpp_ERASE and Vpp_WRITE pulse
has to be at least 100 ms if mechanical relays are
u sed to avoid bo th being on at the same ti me.
After EE programming, the contents of the
EEPROM cells can be verified by setting
Enhancemen t Register Bit 1. A procedure shown
in Figure 8 is applied twice. The first time is to
load the EE Register from EEPROM and the
second time is to shift out the EE Register
contents through Dout pin.

Figure 8. Details of EE register contents l oaded from EEPROM and then shifte d out Serially through
Dout pin - The procedure is performed twice.
In Figur e 8, th e first ste p is to pr o gram
Enhancement Register to set Bit 1 high (“1”) to
access EE Register Output Bit Function.
Subsequent action, which includes pulses, allows
the existing EE Register contents to be shifted out
the Do ut pin and the EEPROM contents are
loaded to the EE Register. Since the in itial data
existing in the EE Register could be anything, the
dat a mus t be fl ushed out be for e clock ing the
contents of the EEPROM register out. After the
sam e pr oc edures ar e du pl i cated, the D ou t output
is the EEPROM content. Note that only 19 Clock
pulses are enough for the 20-bit EE Register
because the first bit data is already present at
Dout pin. Also ENH/ (Pin 20) is set to low (“0”) to
access the Enhancement mode.

Evaluation and Programming Kit Support
To provide easy evaluation of the PE3341 and to
also enable programming of small evaluation
quanti ties, Peregri n e has develo pe d com pl e te
evaluation kits and programming kits for the
PE3341 EEPROM PLLs.
Evaluation Kits
The evaluation kits consist of an evaluation board
and support software enabling the user to
evaluate th e full functionality of the part. The
EEPROM can be loaded with user specified
values and t hen placed in a self start - up mode.
Please refer to Table 14, Ordering Information, for
the specific order codes.
Programming Kits
The programming kits consist of a programming
board and support software that enables the user
to program smal l qu anti ties of devices for
prototype evaluation and for small pre-production
runs. Please refer to Table 14, Orde ring
Information, for the specific order codes
Larg e pr od uc tion quan ti ti es c a n be spec ial
programmed at Peregrine for an additional
charge. Please contact Peregrine Sales for pricing
and leadtime at sales@psemi.com.
Application Information
The PE 33 41 has b ee n designed to all ow a s el f-
starting PLL synthesizer to be built, removing the
need to have a mi c ro- c o ntr ol ler or other
programming source load data into the device on
power - u p. It can be us e d as a rem o tely
controllable PLL as well, since the EEPROM
circuitry has been added to a complete PLL core
(PE3339).
The PE 33 41’ s EE PR OM can be pr ogr am m e d i n-
circuit, or prior to assembly using a socketed
fixture.
It can be reprogram m e d a mi nim um of 10 0 ti m es,
but is not designed to support constant
reprogramming of the EEPROM by an application.
Self-Starting Mode
In self-starting applications, the EE Register is
used to control the device and must be selected
per Table 9. Additionally, the contents of the
EEPROM must be copied to the EE Register per
Table 10, and device power must be stable for this
transfer to be reliably accomplished. These
requirements can be met by connecting a
capacitor of 50pF-10uF (evaluation design uses
3.3uF) from the EESel pin to ground. The delay of
the rising edge on EESel, created by the RC time
constant of its 70k ohm internal pull-up resistor
and the external capacitor, will allow device power
to stab ilize first, ensuring p roper data transfer.
This edge is adaptable by capacitor value
selection. The Vcc applied to the IC must be
settle d fir st.
