Low Band, 800 MHz, PassPort & 900 MHz Theory of Operation: 900 MHz Synthesizer 7-23
Both the normal and adapt charge pumps get their supply from the capacitive multiplier which is
made up of CR201, CR202, C244, C245, C246, C247, R200, R218, C208, C243, R219, and R220.
Two 3.3 V square waves (180 degrees out of phase) are applied to R219 and R220. These square
waves switch alternate sets of diodes from CR201 and CR202, which in turn charge C244, C245,
C246, and C247 in a bucket brigade fashion. The resulting output voltage that is applied to pin 47 of
U201 is typically 12.8 V and allows the steering line voltage (VCO control voltage) to reach 11 V.
