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’s 0.5 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

in
16/17/20/21
(1.2 GHz–2.5 GHz) fractional mode and 40 to 16383 in
8/9/12/13 (550 MHz–1.2 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
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) — 7.0
mA. The LMX2354 are available in a 24-pin TSSOP surface
mount plastic package and 24-pin CSP.
