FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LMX2370 monolithic, integrated dual frequency
synthesizer, including prescalers, is designed to be
used as a first and second local oscillator for dual
mode or dual conversion transceivers. It is fabricated
using TI's 0.5u ABiCV silicon BiCMOS process. The
LMX2370 contains two dual modulus prescalers. A
32/33 or a 16/17 prescaler can be selected for the
Main synthesizer and a 16/17 or 8/9 prescaler can be
selected for the Aux synthesizer. Using a digital
phase locked loop technique, the LMX2370
generates very stable, low noise control signals for
UHF and VHF voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs).
Serial data is transferred into the LMX2370 via a 1.8
