Fractional N RF / Integer N IF
Dual Low Power Frequency Synthesizer
LMX2350 2.5 GHz/550 MHz
LMX2352 1.2 GHz/550 MHz
2352 family features very low current consumption; typically
LMX2350 (2.5 GHz) 6.75 mA, LMX2352 (1.2 GHz) 5.00 mA
at 3.0V. The LMX2350/2352 are available in a 24-pin TSSOP
surface mount plastic package.
General Description
The LMX2350/2352 is part of a family of monolithic inte-
grated fractional N/ Integer N frequency synthesizers de-
signed to be used in a local oscillator subsystem for a radio
transceiver. It is fabricated using National鈥檚 0.5碌 ABiC V sili-
con BiCMOS process. The LMX2350/2352 contains dual
modulus prescalers along with modulo 15 or 16 fractional
compensation circuitry in the RF divider. A 16/17 or 32/33
prescale ratio can be selected for the LMX2350, and the
LMX2352 provides 8/9 or 16/17 prescale ratios. The IF cir-
cuitry for both the LMX2350 and LMX2352 contains an 8/9
prescaler, and is fully programmable. Using a fractional N
phase locked loop technique, the LMX2350 /52 can gener-
ate very stable low noise control signals for UHF and VHF
voltage controlled oscillators (VCO鈥檚).
For the RF PLL, a highly flexible 16 level programmable
charge pump supplies output current magnitudes from
100碌A to 1.6mA. Two uncommitted CMOS outputs can be
used to provide external control signals, or configured to

mode. Serial data is transferred into the
LMX2350/2352 via a three wire interface (Data, LE, Clock).
Supply voltage can range from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The LMX2350/
