UHF Theory of Operation: Synthesizer
The Frequency Generation Circuitry is composed of two main ICs:
• Fractional-N synthesizer (U201)
• VCO/Buffer IC (U241)
Designed in conjunction to maximize compatibility, the two ICs provide many of the functions that
normally would require additional circuitry. The synthesizer block diagram illustrates the interconnect
and support circuitry used in the region. Refer to the relevant schematics for the reference
designators.
The synthesizer is powered by regulated 5V and 3.3V which come from U247 and U248 respectively.
The synthesizer in turn generates a super-filtered 4.5V which powers U241.
In addition to the VCO, the synthesizer must interface with the logic and ASFIC circuitry.
Programming for the synthesizer is accomplished through the data, clock and chip select lines from
the microprocessor. A 3.3V dc signal from the synthesizer lock detect line indicates to the
microprocessor that the synthesizer is locked.
Transmit modulation from the ASFIC is supplied to pin 10 of U201. Internally the audio is digitized by
the Fractional-N and applied to the loop divider to provide the low-port modulation. The audio runs
through an internal attenuator for modulation balancing purposes before going out to the VCO.

The Fractional-N Synthesizer uses a 16.8MHz crystal (FL201) to provide a reference for the system.
The LVFractN IC (U201) further divides this to 2.1MHz, 2.225 MHz, and 2.4 MHz as reference
frequencies. Together with C206, C207, C208, R204 and CR203, they build up the reference
oscillator which is capable of 2.5ppm stability over temperatures of -30 to 85 ° C. It also provides
16.8 MHz at pin 19 of U201 to be used by the ASFIC.
