Summary :

A fast fc automatic tuning circuit suitable for WCDMA systems is proposed. The circuit employs master-slave architecture using digitally controlled Gm-C filter for avoiding long transient response. The tuning feedback loop contains a 2-bit up-down counter ADC for fast tuning operation. Furthermore, to avoid degradation of fc tuning accuracy due to reference feedthrough, an analog loop filter with notch located near reference frequency is used. The fast fc automatic tuning circuit is fabricated in a SiGe BiCMOS process. The tuning time within 200 µs is achieved for 35 chips from 2 lots and the standard deviation of 25.5 kHz is obtained for the average fc of 2.12 MHz.
