PRODUCT FEATURES
The IMI145151 is a member of a family of phaselock loop synthesizer
ICs from International Microcircuits. The IMI145151 is an improved
version of the Motorola MC145151 and will provide a synthesizer with
noticeably improved performance.
The IMI145151 is programmed with parallel input data lines. Since it
does not require a microcontroller as serial and bus programmed units
do, the IMI145151 is an excellent choice for synthesizers requiring
independence from digital controllers. Such applications include fixed
local oscillator signals, whose tuning never changes, and signal sources,
which have few operating frequencies.
Blocks in the IMI145151 include a programmable feedback divider, a
reference divider, phase detector, and charge pump. The reference
divider is programmed by three select lines to one of eight ROM
encoded values. Both counter inputs are biased for maximum sensitivity
to sinewave input signals. The reference divider input is also configured
to operate as a crystal oscillator if desired.
The IMI145151 has a Type IV phase frequency detector which has
eliminated by the design the inherent dead zone which causes crossover
distortion at the critical center lock point. the IMI circuitry enables
consistent low noise loop designs using the simple single ended charge
pump output. Differential charge pump outputs are also provided for
those who require a more sophisticated differential active loop filter
design.
Performance improvements are in the operating bandwidth and phase
detector noise floor. With its extremely low phase noise foor and wider
input bandwith, prescaler ratios can be minimized to allow wide loop
bandwidths for faster settling and lower phase noise.
