The MAX2750/MAX2751/MAX2752 are self-contained volt-
age-controlled oscillators (VCOs) intended for use in the
2.4GHz to 2.5GHz ISM band. Each IC combines a fully
integrated oscillator and output buffer in a miniature 8-pin
µMAX 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 IC provides direct connec-
tion 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 adjust-
ed to provide guaranteed limits. The output signal is
buffered by an amplifier stage (internally matched to 50Ω)
to provide higher output power and isolate the device from
load impedance variations.
The MAX2750/MAX2751/MAX2752 operate over a +2.7V
to +5.5V supply voltage range. Internal regulation of the
oscillator supply voltage eliminates the need for an exter-
nal LDO regulator for the VCO. The IC also provides a dig-
itally controlled shutdown mode to permit implementation
of sophisticated power-supply management. In shutdown,
the supply current is reduced to less than 1µA.

FUNCTION
VCO Bypass. Bypass with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND.
Oscillator Frequency Tuning Voltage Input. High-impedance input with a voltage input range of +0.4V
(low frequency) to +2.4V (high frequency).
Ground Connection for Oscillator and Biasing. Requires a low-inductance connection to the circuit
board ground plane.
Shutdown Logic Input. A high-impedance input logic level low disables the device and reduces
supply current to less than 1.0µA. A logic level high enables the device.
Bias and Oscillator DC Supply Voltage Connection. Bypass separately from PIN6 with a 220pF
capacitor to GND for low noise and low spurious content performance from the oscillator.
Output Buffer DC Supply Voltage Connection. Bypass separately from PIN5 with a 220pF capacitor to
GND for best high frequency performance.
Buffered Oscillator Output. Incorporates an internal DC blocking capacitor. OUT is internally matched
to 50Ω.

Detailed Description
Oscillator
The MAX2750/MAX2751/MAX2752 VCOs are imple-
mented as an LC oscillator topology, integrating all of
the tank components on-chip. This fully monolithic
approach provides an extremely easy-to-use VCO,
equivalent to a VCO module. The frequency is con-
trolled by a voltage applied to the TUNE pin, which is
internally connected to the varactor. The VCO core
uses a differential topology to provide a stable frequen-
cy versus supply voltage and improve the immunity to
load variations. In addition, there is a buffer amplifier
following the oscillator core to provide added isolation
from load variations and to boost the output power.
Applications Information
Tune Input
The tuning input is typically connected to the output of
the PLL loop filter. The loop filter provides an appropri-
ately low-impedance source. The input may incorporate
an extra RC filter stage to reduce high-frequency noise
and spurious signals. Any excess noise on the tuning
input is directly translated into FM noise, which can
degrade the phase-noise performance of the oscillator.
Therefore, it is important to minimize the noise intro-
duced on the tuning input. A simple RC filter with low
corner frequency is needed during testing in order to
filter the noise present on the voltage source driving the
tuning line.
Output Buffer
The oscillator signal from the core drives an output
buffer amplifier. The amplifier is internally matched to
50Ω including an on-chip DC blocking capacitor. No
external DC blocking capacitor is required, eliminating
the need for any external components. The output
amplifier has its own V
CC
and GND pins to minimize
load-pulling effects. The amplifier boosts the oscillator
signal to a level suitable for driving most RF mixers.
Layout Issues
Always use controlled impedance lines (microstrip,
coplanar waveguide, etc.) for high-frequency signals.
Always place decoupling capacitors as close to the
V
CC
pins as possible; for long V
CC
lines, it may be nec-
essary to add additional decoupling capacitors located
further from the device. Always provide a low-induc-
tance path to ground, and keep GND vias as close to
the device as possible. Thermal reliefs on GND pads
