2.5GHz/600MHz Dual Frequency
Synthesizer
Features
• 2.7V to 5.5V Operation
The Intersil 2.4GHz PRISM® chip set is
a highly integrated six-chip solution for
RF modems employing Direct
• Low Current Consumption
• Selectable Powerdown Mode I
= 1µA Typical at 3V
CC
• Dual Modulus Prescaler, 32/33 or 64/65

signaling. The HFA3524 600MHz Dual
• Selectable Charge Pump High Z State Mode
Frequency Synthesizer is one of the six chips in the PRISM
chip set (see the Typical Application Diagram).
Applications
The HFA3524 is a monolithic, integrated dual frequency
synthesizer, including prescaler, is to be used as a local
oscillator for RF and first IF of a dual conversion transceiver.
• Systems Targeting IEEE 802.11 Standard
• PCMCIA Wireless Transceiver
• Wireless Local Area Network Modems
• TDMA Packet Protocol Radios
The HFA3524 contains a dual modulus prescaler. A 32/33 or
64/65 prescaler can be selected for the RF synthesizer and a
8/9 or a 16/17 prescaler can be selected for the IF
• Part 15 Compliant Radio Links
• Portable Battery Powered Equipment
synthesizer. Using a digital phase locked loop technique, the
HFA3524 can generate a very stable, low noise signal for the
RF and IF local oscillator. Serial data is transferred into the
HFA3524 via a three wire interface (Data, Enable, Clock).
Supply voltage can range from 2.7V to 5.5V. The HFA3524
features very low current consumption of 13mA at 3V.
