General Description
The LMX2335, LMX2336 and LMX2337 are monolithic, inte-
grated dual frequency synthesizers, including two high fre-
quency prescalers, and are designed for applications requir-
ing two RF phase-lock loops. They are fabricated using
National’s ABiC IV silicon BiCMOS process.

n Dual modulus prescaler: 64/65 or 128/129
n Selectable charge pump TRI-STATE® mode
n Selectable charge pump current levels
The LMX2335/36/37 contains two dual modulus prescalers.
A 64/65 or a 128/129 prescaler can be selected for each RF
synthesizer. A second reference divider chain is included in
the IC for improved system noise. LMX2335/36/37, which
employ a digital phase locked loop technique, combined with
a high quality reference oscillator and loop filters, provide the
tuning voltages for voltage controlled oscillators to generate
very stable low noise RF local oscillator signals.

n Selectable FastLock mode
Applications
n Cellular telephone systems (AMPS, ETACS, RCR-27)
n Cordless telephone systems (DECT, ISM, PHS, CT-1+)
n Personal Communication Systems
(DCS-1800, PCN-1900)
Serial data is transferred into the LMX2335/36/37 via a three
wire interface (Data, Enable, Clock). Supply voltage can
range from 2.7V to 5.5V. The LMX2335/36/37 feature very
low current consumption; LMX2335/37 −10 mA at 3V,
LMX2336 −13 mA at 3V. The LMX2335/37 are available in
n Dual Mode PCS phones
n CATV
n Other wireless communication systems
