DESCRIPTION
The LMX2487 is a low power, high performance
delta-sigma fractional-N PLL with an auxiliary integer-
N PLL. It is fabricated using TI’s advanced process.

Up to 4th Order Programmable Delta-Sigma
Modulator
With delta-sigma architecture, fractional spurs at
lower offset frequencies are pushed to higher
frequencies outside the loop bandwidth. The ability to
push close in spur and phase noise energy to higher
frequencies is a direct function of the modulator
order. Unlike analog compensation, the digital
feedback technique used in the LMX2487 is highly
resistant to changes in temperature and variations in
wafer processing. The LMX2487 delta-sigma
modulator is programmable up to fourth order, which
allows the designer to select the optimum modulator
order to fit the phase noise, spur, and lock time
requirements of the system.

Digital Lock Detect Output
Serial data for programming the LMX2487 is
transferred via a three line high speed (20 MHz)
MICROWIRE interface. The LMX2487 offers fine
frequency resolution, low spurs, fast programming
speed, and a single word write to change the
frequency. This makes it ideal for direct digital
modulation applications, where the N counter is
directly modulated with information. The LMX2487 is
available in a 24 lead 4.0 X 4.0 X 0.8 mm WQFN
package.
