Description
The MLS9037-00110 synthesizer design integrates a high performance buffered VCO, PLL circuit and discrete loop filter in a
surface mount package. The SMT packaging provides electrical
shielding, easy PCB assembly and repeatable performance. The
synthesizer is designed for use in CDMA base stations and is
optimised for 115 MHz IF at the cellular Tx frequency with 20 kHz,
step size and low phase noise.
M/A-COM synthesizers are manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility, incorporating surface mount assembly and automated
electrical testing. This ensures consistent electrical performance
and quality over volume production quantities.

Environmental Specifications
Devices are designed to function over the operating temperature
range (T
OP
) of -40°C to +85°C and after exposure to the shock,
vibration, thermal shock and moisture conditions typically encountered in base station and other infrastructure environments.

1. Exceeding these limits may cause permanent damage.
2. Static sensitive, observe appropriate handling precautions.
3. An external series resist or and bypass capacitor will allow operation
at higher supply voltage and will improve power supply decoupling
and noise suppressi on.
Ordering Information
Synthesizers are available in either tape and reel or tube packaging. To order devices in tape and reel requires the suffix TR be
added to the part number, i.e. MLS9037-00110TR. Quantity 500
per 13 inch reel, see Application Note M2030.
