  Low Noise Varactor Biasing with Switching Regulators: Vanquishing Villainous Vitiators Vis-Г -Vis Vital Varactors &mdash AN85
  PDF, 490 Kb, File published: Aug 1, 2000
  Telecommunication, satellite links and set-top boxes all require tuning a high frequency oscillation. The actual tuning element, a varactor diode, requires high voltage bias for operation. The high voltage bias must be free of noise to prevent unwanted oscillator outputs. This publication details a method for generating noise free high voltage from low voltage inputs using switching regulators. Spurious oscillator outputs are below -90dBc. Suggested circuit and layout information is included. Appendices cover varactor diode theory and performance verification techniques.

  Low Noise Varactor Biasing with Switching Regulators
  Vanquishing Villainous Vitiators Vis-Г -Vis Vital Varactors
  Jim Williams and David Beebe
  INTRODUCTION “hyperabrupt” devices. Response modification is possible,
  with compromises in performance, particularly with regard
  to linearity and sensitivity.2 Telecommunication, satellite links and set-top boxes all
  require tuning a high frequency oscillator. The actual
  tuning element is a varactor diode, a 2-terminal device that
  changes capacitance as a function of reverse bias voltage.1 The oscillator is part of a frequency synthesizing
  loop, as detailed in Figure 1. A phase locked loop (PLL)
  compares a divided down representation of the oscillator
  with a frequency reference. The PLL’s output is level
  shifted to provide the high voltage necessary to bias the
  varactor, which closes a feedback loop by voltage tuning
  the oscillator. This loop forces the voltage controlled
  oscillator (VCO) to operate at a frequency determined by
  the frequency reference and the divider’s division ratio. Note 1. Theoretical considerations of varactor diodes are treated in
  Appendix A, “Zetex Variable Capacitance Diodes,” guest written by Neil
  Chadderton of Zetex.
  Note 2. The reader is again referred to Appendix A for in-depth discussion
  of varactor diodes. …

  Albert Wu 5V Local Supply
  Figure 1 shows a typical 3.3V to 5V boost converter
  using the LT1930. The circuit can provide an impressive output current of 480mA while occupying less
  than 0.3" by 0.35" of board area (less than 0.105 in2).
  The efficiency, shown in Figure 2, remains above 83%
  over a wide load current range of 60mA to 450mA,
  reaching 86% at 200mA. The maximum output voltage
  ripple of this circuit is 40mVP-P, which corresponds
  to less than 1% of the nominal 5V output. Figure 3 is
  an oscillograph of the transient response. The lower
  waveform depicts a load step from 200mA to 300mA,
  the middle waveform shows the inductor current and
  the upper waveform shows the output voltage. The
  output voltage remains within 1% of the nominal value
  during the transient steps and displays a nice damped
  response with little ringing.

  Introduction
  With each new generation of computing systems, total
  power continues to increase while system voltages
  fall. CPU core voltages and logic supplies below 1.8V
  are now commonplace. Power supplies must not only
  regulate low output voltages but they must also operate
  from low input voltages. A low voltage, low dropout
  linear regulator is an attractive conversion option for
  applications where output currents are in the several
  ampere range. Component count and cost are low in
  comparison to switching regulator solutions, and with
  low input-to-output voltage differentials, efficiencies
  are comparable. MOSFET controller/driver are devices well suited to
  deliver lower output voltages from a supply of 1.8V
  or lower. Each device offers excellent line/load regulation, temperature performance and transient load
  step response.
  Figure 1 illustrates the LT1580 delivering 1.3V at 3A
  (maximum), from a 1.8V input supply. This particular
  conп¬Ѓguration requires a higher voltage supply to bias …

  Introduction L1
  4.7ВµH 100 90
  EFFICIENCY (%) As portable electronics designers continue to press for reduction in
  component sizes, Linear Technology
  introduces the LT1611 and LT1613
  SOT-23 switching regulators. These
  current mode, constant frequency
  devices contain internal 36V switches
  capable of generating output power
  in the range of 400mW to 2W, in a 5lead SOT-23 package. The LT1613
  has a standard positive feedback pin
  and is designed to regulate positive
  voltages. The LT1611 has a novel
  feedback scheme designed to directly
  regulate negative output voltages
  without the use of level-shifting circuitry. Boost, single-ended primary
  inductance converters (SEPIC) and
  inverting configurations are possible
  with the LT1613 and LT1611. The
  high voltage switch allows hard-todo, yet popular DC/DC converter …

  1.5V TO 3V The LT1615 and LT1617 are pin
  compatible with two other members
  of the PowerSOTв„ў family, the LT1613
