Chapter 1: Functional Description
network requires an antenna, a Low Noise Block (LNB) downconverter, a drop cable, and an
STB. The LNB converts the satellite downlink frequency to an intermediate L-band frequency
where it is passed to the STB via the drop cable. The STB front end consists of a tune r and a
demodulator/FEC IC. The satellite tuner must tune to the L-band frequency, downconvert the
carrier, and separate it to baseband I and Q signals. The demodulator/FEC IC includes
QPSK Demodulation, carrier tracking, AGC control, bit timing, and the required FEC for a
given network service. Figure 2 illustrates a typical application block diagram for the
CX24109/CX24121 chip set in an STB front end.
1.4 Signal Path
The CX24109 is a highly integrated, direct-down conversion satellite tuner. It consists of an
LNA, variable RF attenuator, quadrature downconverter, variable IF gain amplifiers, variable
low-pass filters, VCO, and synthesizer. A detailed block diagram of the IC is illustrated in
Figure 3.

Chapter 1: Functional Description
The L-band output from the LNB enters the IC through the RFIN pin and is immediately
amplified by the Voltage Controlled Attenuator block (VCA). The VCA functions as a variable
gain LNA. The noise figure and gain of the VCA are the dominant factors for the tuner’s noise
figure. The signal is then quadrature downconverted to I and Q baseband channels.
Additional amplifiers at baseband provide more variable gain for the AGC loop. Also at
baseband, variable low-pass filters provide anti-alias filtering and eliminate noise power from
adjacent carriers and spurious signals before they can impact the A/Ds in the demodulator
IC.
1.5 AGC and Control
The AGC functionality for the CX24109 is split between the RF and baseband sections, and
provides 80 dB of variable gain. The primary control for the AGC is an analog voltage from
the demodulator IC. Programmable adjustments to the slope and of fset of each variable gain
component in the tuner are available through the AGC control registers. Programming
information for the VGA and VCA is provided in Tables 4 and 5, respectively. The
recommended default values for the programmable control bits versus symbol rate are listed
in Table 8.
1.6 Local Oscillator
The local oscillator consists of a synthesizer and a VCO block, and is contained entirely
within the CX24109. The VCO block uses an innovative architecture that requires only a 5 V
source, eliminating the need for a 28 V power supply. It includes the required tank circuit.
The VCO block consists of a bank of eight oscillators operating at twice and four times the
input frequency with a continuous range from 2200 MHz to 4400 MHz. The VCOs overlap to
cover the frequency range from 950 MHz to 2150 MHz under all voltage, temperature, and
process variations. The VCO tuning range, combined with programmable ÷2 or ÷4 frequency
dividers, creates the continuous frequencies from 950 MHz to 2150 MHz for the local
oscillator. A simple tuning algorithm must be run by the host processor one time at power-up
to calibrate the VCO block. Conexant provides this program.
The synthesizer is also contained within the CX24109. It uses a 10.111 MHz reference
frequency and a reference divider, ÷R, to set the phase comparison frequency. Two
programming bits are used to configure the reference divider to divide by 10, 20, or 40, which
in turn sets the comparison frequency to 1.0111 MHz, 505 kHz, or 253 kHz, respectively. A
reference divider of 10 is recommended. The comparison frequency also determines the
frequency step size of the local oscillator. Another programmable divider is provided for the
VCO output. It consists of a 32/33 prescaler, a 9-bit N-counter (N-divider), a 5-bit A-counter
(A-divider), and a fixed ÷2 block. The programmable divider divides the VCO outpu t from its
highest frequency to the minimum phase comparison frequency. The programmable charge
pump includes output currents of 1 mA, 2 mA, 3 mA, and 4 mA. Programming information for
the synthesizer can be found in Table 7. The recommended values for charge pump current,
polarity, and referenced dividers are listed in Tables 9 and 10.
The typical loop filter bandwidth is set with external passive components and should be set
between 8 kHz and 15 kHz.
1.7 Programming Interface
A three-wire serial interface with Clock, Data, and Enable lines is used to program the
CX24109. All digital signals are CMOS-comp atible. The serial data carries the binary settings
for the programmable dividers, the VCO band select, the voltage-controlled attenuator, and
the voltage-controlled amplifiers. When the Enable line is low, data is shifted into an internal
shift register on the rising edge of the clock, and when the Enable line goes high, the stored
data is latched. The clock signal should be kept low when inactive. The maximum clock rate
is 1 MHz. Figure 4 illustrates the relationship between the Clock, Data, and Enable signals.

Chapter 1: Functional Description
The internal shift register in the CX24109 is 21 bit s long. When the data is latched into the IC,
the two MSBs act as control bits, and the lower 19 bits are the data bits as illustrated in
Figure 5. Data must be entered MSB first.
The control bits determine the functional block that is being programmed, while the data bits
contain the specific control information. Table 3 provides a detail mapping of the control and
data bits.

2.1 AGC Input
To prevent excessive current draw, a 10 kΩ resistor on the AGC pin is recommended. See
Figure 6.
2.2 VCO Power Pin Ripple Requirement
Care must be taken to reduce the power supply ripple on pin 13 (VCO power supply) in order
to reduce phase noise. The power supply conditioning circuitry given in Figure 6 is suitable
for most circumstances.
2.3 Transmission Lines
Though the CX24109’s RF layout is simple, there are two transmission lines that must be
designed. The first transmission line is the LNB power line, which is located at the connector .
The second transmission line is between the connector and the RF IN pin. The input
transmission line must have a characteristic impedance of 75 Ω. The schematic gives
recommended dimensions assuming a two-layer FR-4 board.
2.4 Example Schematic
Figure 6 provides a simplified version of the CX24109/CX24121 reference design. For
complete and current reference design information, contact your local Conexant sales office.

GENERAL NOTES:
1. Values in this table are valid under the operating conditions listed in Tables 8, 9, and 10, using a reference divider of 10, unless otherwise
stated.
FOOTNOTES:
(1) This measurement is made at RFIN of CX24109.
(2) Aggregate average power of 40 QPSK modulated carriers.
(3) All NF and IIP3 measurements/specifications are made by setting a specific input level for the desired symbol rate and adjusting the AGC
level to obtain the desired output level of 0.5 Vpp.
(4) This level is derived assuming –23 dBm is the maximum level of all other transponders and that the operating symbol rate is 1 MSps.
Assume C/I of 7 dB and a bandwidth scaling of 10 log (20 MHz / 1 MHz), thus, Pin = –23 dBm – 7 dB – 10 log (20 / 1) = –43 dBm.
(5) This level is derived from Pin = PTransponder – LPath + GAntenna + GLNBmin – LCable. Where the operating symbol rate is 1 MSps and
PTransponder is at a minimum. PTransponder = 10 log ((1E6 / 45E6) 10 (82 – 4) /10) = +61 dBm. Therefore, Pin = + 61 dBm – 205 dB + 38 dB +
45 dB – 20 dB = –81 dBm.
(6) This level is derived assuming –23 dBm is the maximum level of all other transponders and that the operating symbol rate is 7 MSps.
Assume C/I of 7 dB and a bandwidth scaling of 10 log (20 MHz / 7 MHz), thus, Pin = –23 dBm – 7 dB – 10 log 20 / 7 = –34.5 dBm.
(7) This level is derived from Pin = PTransponder – LPath + GAntenna + GLNBmin – LCable. Where the operating symbol rate is 7 MSps and
PTransponder = 10 log ((7E6 / 45E6) 10 (82–4)/10) = +70 dBm. Therefore, Pin = +70 dB – 205 dB + 38 dB + 45 dB – 20 dB = –72 dBm
(8) This level is derived assuming –23 dBm is the maximum level of all other transponders, an operating symbol rate of 20 MSps and a C/I of
7 dB.
(9) Assume a sym bol rate of 20 MSps.
