2.7 GHz Low Power Dual Modulus
Prescaler for RF Personal Communications
General Description
The LMX5080 integrated dual modulus prescaler, is designed to be used in a synthesized local oscillator for
2.5 GHz wireless transceivers. It is fabricated using National’s 0.5µABiCV silicon BiCMOS process. The LMX5080 contains three dual modulus prescalers. Either a 128/130,
256/158 or a 512/514 prescaler can be selected for up to
2.7 Gz RF input frequencies. The prescaler inputs can be
driven either differentially, or single ended with the use of a
coupling capacitor on one of the inputs to ground. The
LMX5080 CMOS output is optimized to generate very stable,
low switching noise output signals. The LMX5080 prescaler
can be used in conjunction with a low frequency Phase Lock
Loop to form a frequency synthesizer suitable for UHF transceivers. Supply voltage can range from 2.7V to 5.5V. The
LMX5080 features low current consumption; typically 7.0 mA
at 5V V
CC
The LMX5080 is available in a 8-pin Small Outline (SOP)
surface mount plastic package.
