The LMX237X family of monolithic, integrated dual frequency synthesizers, including prescalers, is designed to be
used as a first and second local oscillator for dual mode or
dual conversion transceivers. It is fabricated using National’s
0.5u ABiCV silicon BiCMOS process. The LMX237X contains two dual modulus prescalers. A 32/33 or a 16/17
prescaler can be selected for the 2.5 GHz and 2.0 GHz RF
synthesizers with the 16/17 prescaler rated for input frequencies below 1.2 GHz. A 16/17 or an 8/9 prescaler can be selected for the 1.2 GHz RF synthesizers with the 8/9 prescaler
rated for input frequencies below 550 MHz. Using a digital
phase locked loop technique, the LMX237X can generate
very stable, low noise control signals for UHF and VHF voltage controlled oscillators (VCO’s). Serial data is transferred
into the LMX237X via a 1.8V three wire interface (Data, Enable, Clock) compatible with low voltage baseband processors. Supply voltage can range from 2.7V to 5.5V. The
LMX237X family features very low current consumption typically: LMX2370 - 6.0 mA
LMX2372 - 4.0 mA

1.0 Functional Description
The basic phase-lock-loop (PLL) configuration consists of a high-stability crystal reference oscillator, a frequency synthesizer
such as the National Semiconductor LMX2370/2371/2372, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and a passive loop filter.The frequency synthesizer includes a phase detector, a current mode charge pump, as well as programmable reference [R] and feedback [N] frequency dividers. The VCO frequency is established by dividing the crystal reference signal down via the R-counter to
obtain a comparison reference frequency. This reference signal (

voltage. The function of the phase/frequency comparator is to adjust the control voltage presented to the VCO until the feedback
signal frequency and phase match that of the reference signal. When this “Phase-Locked” condition exists, the VCO frequency
will be N times that of the comparison frequency, where N is the integer divide ratio.
