Description
The SATURN circuit is designed for use in dual band dual
mode mobile phones (CDMA/AMPS). The circuit is
designed to be compataible with digital baseband and
mixed signal circuit chips from Mitel (Planet Chip-set)
and Qualcomm (MSM2 and BBA). A wideband AGC
amplifier allows the input of CDMA or AMPS signal paths
with a range power management control options.

Notes
1.
STARTUP mode is provided to allow VCO/DLL/prescalers to stabilise before signal path is activated. This is a power-saving
feature since the signal path is redundant during this period. If this feature is not required, the ENABLE and STARTUP
control pins can be shorted together so that all circuitry is activated at the same time.
In high band mode (Band 1900 = 1) the VCO operates at twice the IF frequency. For example if IF = 210.38MHz then the
oscillator operates at 420.76MHz. A delay locked loop (DLL) circuit then generates the quadrature LO signals. The prescaler
output, VHFBUF, is VCO frequency divided by 8 (52.494MHz).
In low band mode (Band 1900 = 0) the VCO operates at 4 times the IF frequency. for example if IF = 85.38MHz the oscillator
operates at 341.52MHz. This is then divided and uses DLL circuit to provide the quadrature LO signals. The prescaler output,
VHFBUF, is VCO frequency divided by 8 (42.69MHz).
This mode can be used for FM. The VCO operates at twice the LO frequency. This mode is not normally used as a large
tuning range is required on the VCO. Prescaler output is LO frequency divided by four.
