This document presents the design of an integrated synthesizer enclosed in a 16-pin QFN package for the DVB-H standard. The synthesizer includes a voltage-controlled oscillator, dividers, phase frequency detector, and charge pump. Measurements and post-layout simulations are shown for the individual blocks and entire synthesizer. The simulations account for the influence of bond wires, pads, solder dots, and packaging, showing results both before and after packaging. The total phase noise is -107 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset, suitable for the DVB-H standard.

Abstract
This paper presents a BiCMOS integrated synthesizer enclosed in a 16-pin QFN package for DVB-H standard. A
detailed description of the synthesizer, including the VCO, the dividers, the phase frequency detector and the
charge pump is carried out. Measurement of individual blocks and post layouts simulations of the entire
synthesizer are shown. The influence of the bond-wires, ESD pads, solder dots and package in the synthesizer
response is studied, showing simulations before and after the package. The total phase noise and the contribution
of the VCO phase noise in the synthesizer is shown, obtaining a total phase noise of -107 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset,
suitable for DVB-H standard.
