PLLatinum Fractional N RF/ Integer N IF Dual Low Power
Frequency Synthesizer
LMX2354 2.5 GHz/550 MHz
General Description
The LMX2354 is part of a family of monolithic integrated
fractional N/Integer N frequency synthesizers designed to be
used in a local oscillator subsystem for a radio transceiver. It
is fabricated using National鈥檚 0.5 碌 ABiC V silicon BiCMOS
process. The LMX2354 contains quadruple modulus pres-
calers along with modulo 15 or 16 fractional compensation
circuitry in the RF divider. The LMX2354 provides a continu-
ous divide ratio of 80 to 32767 in 16/17/20/21
(1.2 GHz鈥?.5 GHz) fractional mode and 40 to 16383 in
8/9/12/13 (550 MHz鈥?.2 GHz) fractional mode. The IF cir-
cuitry for the LMX2354 contains an 8/9 prescaler, and is fully
programmable. Using a fractional N phase locked loop tech-
nique, the LMX2354 can generate very stable low noise
control signals for UHF and VHF voltage controlled oscilla-
tors (VCOs).
For the RF PLL, a highly flexible 16 level programmable
charge pump supplies output current magnitudes from 100
碌A to 1.6 mA. Two uncommitted CMOS outputs can be used
to provide external control signals, or configured to FastLock
mode. Serial data is transferred into the LMX2354 via a three
wire interface (Data, LE, Clock). Supply voltage can range
from 2.7V to 5.5V. The LMX2354 family features very low
current consumption; typically LMX2354 (2.5 GHz) 鈥?7.0
mA. The LMX2354 are available in a 24-pin TSSOP surface
mount plastic package and 24-pin CSP.
