8V97052
High Resolution Wideband RF Synthesizer / PLL
The 8V97052 is a high-performance wide-band RF
synthesizer / PLL that offers a high resolution of 32-bit
fractional and modulus. It is ideal for use in
instrumentation, test equipment, satellite equipment,
or applications that require very fine adjustments of
the output frequency. It is also optimal for use as a
traditional Local Oscillator (LO) in Multi-Carrier, Multi-
mode FDD, and TDD Base Station radio card.
Features
▪ Supports on-chip VCO or external VCO
▪ Single differential output with frequency range:
34.375MHz to 4400MHz
(continuous range)
▪ RF output divide by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64
▪ Open drain output (see Output Distribution Section)
▪ Fractional-N synthesizer (also supports Integer-N
mode)
The 8V97052 offers an integrated Voltage Controlled
Oscillator (VCO) and output divider that supports a
continuous output frequency range of 34.375MHz to
4400MHz. This large frequency tuning range can
provide multi-band local oscillator (LO) frequency
synthesis, thus, limiting the use of multiple narrow
band RF synthesizers and reducing the BOM
▪ 16-bit integer and 32-bit fractional/32-bit modulus
▪ 3- or 4-wire SPI interface (compatible with 3.3V and
1.8V)
▪ Single 3.3V supply
▪ Programmable output power level: -4dBm to
complexity and cost. The RF_OUT output driver has
an independently programmable output power
ranging from -4dBm to +11.5dBm. The RF_OUT
output can be muted via a SPI command or mute pin.
11.5dBm
▪ Mute function
▪ Ultra low phase noise for 2GHz LO: -133dBc/Hz at
1MHz offset, (typical)
Integrated low noise Low Dropout Regulators (LDOs)
are used for superior power supply noise immunity.
The operation of the 8V97052 is controlled by writing
to registers through a 3-wire SPI interface. The device
also has an option that allows users to read back
values from registers by configuring the MUX_OUT
pin as a SDO for the SPI interface. The SPI interface
is compatible with 1.8V logic and tolerant to 3.3V.
▪ Normalized phase noise floor: -228dBc/Hz
▪ Lock detect Indicators
▪ Input reference frequency: 5MHz to 310MHz
▪ Power consumption: 380mW (typical)
▪ 5 × 5 mm, 32-VFQFPN package
▪ Automatic VCO band selection (Autocal feature)
▪ -40°C to +85°C ambient operating temperature
▪ Supports case temperature 105°C operations
▪ Lead-free (RoHS 6) packaging
The device also includes features such as fast lock,
programmable charge pump current, electable DSM
types and orders, output mute, lock detection,
MUX_OUT, and phase adjust that can help with
specific system requirements, optimization, or power
savings. In RF applications, very low noise oscillators
are required to generate a large variety of frequencies
to the mixers while maintaining excellent phase noise
performance and low power.
