APPLICATIONS
•
•
•
•
A 16/17 or a 32/33 prescale ratio can be selected for
the Main synthesizer. An 8/9 or a 16/17 prescale ratio
can be selected for the Aux synthesizer. Using a
proprietary digital phase lock technique, the
LMX2377U device generates very stable, low noise
control signals for UHF and VHF voltage controlled
oscillators. Both the Main and Aux synthesizers
include a two-level programmable charge pump. The
Main synthesizer has dedicated Fastlock circuitry.
Serial data is transferred to the devices via a threewire interface (Data, LE, Clock). The low voltage logic
interface allows connection to 1.8V devices. Supply
voltages from 2.7V to 5.5V are supported. The
LMX2377U features ultra low current consumption,
typically 3.5 mA at 3.0V.
The LMX2377U devices are available in 20-Pin
TSSOP, 24-Pin PLGA, and 20-Pin ULGA surface
mount plastic packages.
