General Description
The LMX2350/2352 is part of a family of monolithic integrated fractional N/ Integer N frequency synthesizers designed 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 generate very stable low noise control signals for UHF and VHF
voltage controlled oscillators (VCO’s).
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
