LMX2350/LMX2352 PLLatinum Fractional N RF / Integer N IF Dual Low Power Frequency
Synthesizer
March 2001
LMX2350/LMX2352
PLLatinum Fractional N RF / Integer N IF
Dual Low Power Frequency Synthesizer
LMX2350 2.5 GHz/550 MHz
LMX2352 1.2 GHz/550 MHz
General Description
The LMX2350/2352 is part of a family of monolithic inte-
grated fractional N/ Integer N frequency synthesizers de-
signed to be used in a local oscillator subsystem for a radio
transceiver. It is fabricated using National’s 0.5µ ABiC V
silicon BiCMOS process. The LMX2350/2352 contains dual
modulus prescalers along with modulo 15 or 16 fractional
compensation circuitry in the RF divider. A 16/17 or 32/33
prescale ratio can be selected for the LMX2350, and the
LMX2352 provides 8/9 or 16/17 prescale ratios. The IF
circuitry for both the LMX2350 and LMX2352 contains an 8/9
prescaler, and is fully programmable. Using a fractional N
phase locked loop technique, the LMX2350 /52 can gener-
ate very stable low noise control signals for UHF and VHF
voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs).
For the RF PLL, a highly flexible 16 level programmable
charge pump supplies output current magnitudes from
100µA to 1.6mA. Two uncommitted CMOS outputs can be
used to provide external control signals, or configured to
FastLock
™
mode. Serial data is transferred into the
LMX2350/2352 via a three wire interface (Data, LE, Clock).
Supply voltage can range from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The LMX2350/
LMX2352 family features very low current consumption; typi-
cally LMX2350 (2.5 GHz) 6.5 mA, LMX2352 (1.2 GHz) 4.75
mA at 3.0V. The LMX2350/2352 are available in a 24-pin
TSSOP and 24-pin CSP surface mount plastic package.

Oscillator input which can be configured to drive both the IF and RF R counter inputs
or only the IF R counter depending on the state of the OSC programming bit. (See
functional description 1.1 and programming description 3.1.)
Multiplexed output of N or R divider and RF/IF lock detect. Active High/Low CMOS
output except in analog lock detect mode. (See programming description 3.1.5.)
RF PLL Enable. Powers down RF N and R counters, prescaler, and will TRI-STATE
®
the charge pump output when LOW. Bringing RF_EN high powers up RF PLL
depending on the state of RF_CTL_WORD. (See functional description 1.9.)
IF PLL Enable. Powers down IF N and R counters, prescaler, and will TRI-STATE the
charge pump output when LOW. Bringing IF_EN high powers up IF PLL depending on
the state of IF_CTL_WORD. (See functional description 1.9.)
