LTC6948
Ultralow Noise 0.37GHz to
6.39GHz Fractional-N Synthesizer
with Integrated VCO
DescripTion
The
LTC
®
6948
is a high performance, low noise, 6.39GHz
phase-locked loop (PLL) with a fully integrated VCO,
including a reference divider, phase-frequency detector
(PFD), ultralow noise charge pump, fractional feedback
divider, and VCO output divider.
The fractional divider uses an advanced, 4th order Δ∑
modulator which provides exceptionally low spurious
levels. This allows wide loop bandwidths, producing
extremely low integrated phase noise values.
The programmable VCO output divider, with a range of 1
through 6, extends the output frequency range.
