PARALLEL TUNING PLL FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The IMI145152 is a member of a family of phase lock loop
synthesizer Ics from International Microcicruicts. This part is
pin-for-pin compatible with the Motorola MC145152 series of
parts. The IMI145152 is an improved version of this device,
and designing to take advantage of these improvements will
provide a synthesizer with noticeably improved performance.
The IMI145152 is programmed with parallel input data lines.
Since it does not require a microcontroller as serial and bus
programming units do, the IMI145152 is an excellent choice
for synthesizers requiring independence from digital
controllers. Such applications particularly include fixed local
oscillator signals, who tuning never changes, and signal
sources, which have few operating frequencies.
Blocks in the IMI145152 include a dual modulus feedback
divider for use with an external dual modulus prescaler.
Prescaler ratios can very from 3/4 through 64/65. The
reference divider is set by three select lines to one of eight
ROM encloded values. Both counter inputs are biased for
high sensitivity to sinewave input signals, and the reference
divider input is also configured to operate as an oscillator if
desired. The phase detector is a Type IV phase-frequency
design, which has inherently eliminated the dead zone and
indeed any crossover distortion, as is often noticed on other
PLL devices.
Performance improvements are in the operating
and phase detector noise floor. With its extremely
noise floor and wider input bandwidth, prescaler
be minimized to allow wide loop bandwidths
settlign and lower phase noise.

MAXIMUM RATINGS
This device contains circuitry to protect the inputs
against damage due to high static voltages or electric
field; however, precautions should be taken to avoid
application of any voltage higher than the maximum
reated voltages to this circuit. For proper operation, Vin
and Vout should be constrained to the range:
V
SS
< (Vin or Vout) < V
DD
Unused inputs must always be tied to an appropriate
logic voltage level (either V
SS
or V
DD
).

Description
Feedback divider input signal. Applied to both the N and A positive edge triggered counters, this
signal is intended to be AC coupled. For CMOS logic level input signals, DC coupling can be
used.
Circuit ground.
Circuit positive power supply.
The three reference divisor ratio select pins. Pull-up resistors RA1 are included on each of these
pins to insure that, if left RA2 unconnected, they will raimain at a logic ONE. The reference
divider ratio is set accourding to the following table
