PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET 5 V CATV MODEM RF TRANSCEIVER ISG3300A1 FEATURES DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS * TWO WAY DOCSIS COMPLIANT: 91-860 MHz Downstream 5-42 MHz Upstream The ISG3300A1 is a complete RF transceiver designed for use in cable modem applications. The transceiver integrates a diplex filter, triple conversion receiver and transmit AGC amplifier (see Figure 1). The diplex filter provides over 40 dB of isolation between the TX band and the RX band. The receiver channel selects and converts QAM signals in the RX band down to the desired IF sampling frequency. It also provides the necessary gain control input power to the DSP. The RF transmitter section combined with the digital modulator provides a digitally controlled gain range of 50 dB, while maintaining excellent linearity performance. * INTERFACES DIRECTLY WITH QAM DEMOD/MOD ICs * INCORPORATES ALL RF FILTERS INCLUDING TX ANTI ALIASING * DIGITAL LINEAR RF TRANSMITTER: All Harmonics -51 dBc @ 58 dBmv : 50 dB Combined Gain Control w/ Digital Step Attenuator * SUPERIOR SNR: 37 dB for 64 QAM / 35 dB for 256 QAM (TYP) * RUGGED DESIGN/NO MICROPHONICS: SMD Components, "Coiless" ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (VCC = 5 V, VCC2 = 24 V, TA = 25C) PART NUMBER SYMBOLS PARAMETERS RF Performance (RX) fOP Operating Frequency Range Input Signal Level Gain Range VAGC Automatic Gain Control Voltage RF VAGC Automatic Gain Control Voltage IF Noise Figure (Max Gain) NFMAX Phase Noise at 10 kHz Offset LO Radiation at RF Input Resolution Lock Time (end to end channel) Input Impedance (Nominal) RLIN Input Return Loss Channel Bandwidth USA Output Frequency1 Passband Ripple Image Rejection Inband Group Delay CSO2 CTB2 Frequency Offset ISG3300A1 UNITS MIN MHz dBmV dB 91 -20 25 0 0 dB dBc/Hz dBm KHz msec. ohms dB MHz MHz dB dB ns dBc dBc KHz TYP 8 -83 -40 62.5 18 75 MAX 860 15 75 3.3 3.3 10 -80 6 5.70 6 5.75 1 5.80 2 50 -35 100 45 45 +35 Notes: 1.

This pin has a positive gain vs. AGC slope. 20 dB of gain control is available by varying the voltage from 0.5 V to 3.3 V. 2 VCC (TX) The VCC (TX) pin powers the TX amplifier. A 5 V bias is required and nominal current is 125 mA. 3 TXEN The TXEN pin is used to enable/disable the TX amplifier. When TXEN is set LOW, the TX amplifier is disabled. In this state, a standby current of 3 mA is required from VCC (TX). When TXEN is set HIGH, the TX amplifier is enabled. In this state, a nomimal current of 125 mA is required from VCC (TX). TXIN- is the inverting input to the TX amplifier. The input frequency range spans 5-55 MHz. 4 TXIN- 5 TXIN+ TXIN+ is the non-inverting input to the TX amplifier. The input frequency range spans 5-55 MHz. 6 TXAGC The TXAGC pin is used to step control the gain in the TX amplifier. There are 3 bits of control. 7 VCC2 (RX) The VCC2 (RX) pin powers the loop filter for the first LO. A bias of 24 V - 30 V is required and maximum current draw is 2 mA. 8 VCC1 (RX) 9 IFAGC 10 GND Equivalent Circuit 1 1K 1K 0.1 F 3 10 K 4 5 4 5 The VCC1 (RX) pin powers the entire RX section. A bias of 5 V is required and nominal current draw is 250 mA. The IFAGC pin is used to adjust gain in the final downconverter stage of the RX section. The pin has a positive gain vs. AGC slope. 30 dB of gain control is available by varying the voltage from 0.5 to 2.0 V.

The ICPO LOW Current State = 1/4 x ICPO HIGH Current. 2. Activitation of the RF2 PLL or RF1 PLL powerdown modes result in the disabling of the respective N counter divider and debiasing of its respective fIN inputs (to a high impedance state). The powerdown function is gated by the charge pump to prevent unwanted frequency jumps. Once the powerdown program mode is loaded, the part will go into powerdown mode when the charge pump reaches a TRI-STATE condition. The R counter and Oscillator functionality does not become disabled until both RF2 and RF1 powerdown bits are activated. The OSCIN is connected to VCC through a 100 k resistor and the OSCOUT goes HIGH when this condition exists. The MICROWAVETM control register remains active and capable of loading and latching data during all the powerdown modes. 3. Phase Detector Polarity Depending upon VCO characteristics, the R16 bits should be set accordingly: When VCO characteristics are positive like (1), R16 should be set HIGH, when VCO characteristics are negative like (2), R16 should be set LOW.

When the FOLD output is disabled, it is actively pulled to a low logic state. 2. Lock detect output provided to indicate when the VCO frequency is in "lock". When the loop is locked and a lock detect mode is selected, the pin's output is HIGH, with narrow pulses LOW. In the RF1/RF2 lock detect mode a locked condition is indicated when RF2 and RF1 are both locked. 3. The Fastlock mode utilized the FOLD output pin to switch a second loop filter damping resistor to ground during fastlock operation. Activation of Fastlock occurs whenever the RF loop's Icpo magnitude bit #17 is selected HIGH (while the #19 and #20 mode bits are set for Fastlock). 4. The Counter Reset mode bits R19 and R20 when activated reset all counters. Upon removal of the Reset bits the N counter resumes counting in "close" alignment with R counter. (The maximum error is one prescaler cycle). If the Reset bits are activated the R counter is also forced to Reset, allowing smooth acquisition upon powering up. Notes: 1. Parenthesis data indicates programmable reference divider data. 2. Data shifted into register on clock rising edge. 3. Data is shifted in MSB first. Test Conditions: The Serial Data Input Timing is tested using a symmetrical waveform around VCC/2. The test waveform has an edge rate of 0.6V/ns with amplitudes of 2.2 V @ VCC = 2.7 V and 2.6 V @ VCC = 5.5 V.
