General Description
The MAX2753 is a self-contained voltage-controlled oscil-
lator (VCO) intended for use in 2.4GHz radios that utilize a
low-IF or zero-IF architecture. It combines a fully integrat-
ed oscillator and output buffer in a miniature 8-pin 碌MAX
package.
The inductor and varactor elements of the tank are inte-
grated on-chip, greatly simplifying application of the part.
The only required external components are a couple of
supply bypass capacitors. The MAX2753 provides direct
connection to the VCO tuning voltage input and the VCO
buffer output. The tuning voltage input range is +0.4V to
+2.4V, and the oscillator frequency tuning range is factory
adjusted to provide guaranteed limits. The output signal is
buffered by an amplifier stage (internally matched to 50鈩?
to provide higher output power and isolate the device from
load impedance variations. In addition, the MAX2753 pro-
vides differential outputs.
The MAX2753 operates over a +2.7V to +5.5V supply volt-
age range. Internal regulation of the oscillator supply volt-
age eliminates the need for an external LDO regulator for
the VCO. The MAX2753 also provides a digitally controlled
shutdown mode to permit implementation of sophisticated
power-supply management. In shutdown, the supply cur-
rent is reduced to less than 1碌A(chǔ).
