Synthesizer for RF Personal Communications
November 1995
LMX1501A LMX1511 PLLatinum
TM
1 1 GHz Frequency Synthesizer
for RF Personal Communications
General Description
The LMX1501A and the LMX1511 are high performance fre-
quency synthesizers with integrated prescalers designed for
RF operation up to 1 1 GHz They are fabricated using Na-
tional鈥檚 ABiC IV BiCMOS process
The LMX1501A and the LMX1511 contain dual modulus
prescalers which can select either a 64 65 or a 128 129
divide ratio at input frequencies of up to 1 1 GHz Using a
proprietary digital phase locked loop technique the
LMX1501A 11鈥檚 linear phase detector characteristics can
generate very stable low noise local oscillator signals
Serial data is transferred into the LMX1501A and the
LMX1511 via a three line MICROWIRE
TM
interface (Data
Enable Clock) Supply voltage can range from 2 7V to 5 5V
The LMX1501A and the LMX1511 feature very low current
consumption typically 6 mA at 3V
The LMX1501A is available in a JEDEC 16-pin surface
mount plastic package The LMX1511 is available in a
TSSOP 20-pin surface mount plastic package
