LMX2531
High Performance Frequency Synthesizer System with
Integrated VCO
General Description
Features
The LMX2531 is a low power, high performance frequency
synthesizer system which includes a fully integrated delta-
sigma PLL and VCO with fully integrated tank circuit. The third
and fourth poles are also integrated and also adjustable. Also
included are integrated ultra-low noise and high precision
LDOs for the PLL and VCO which give higher supply noise
immunity and also more consistent performance. When com-
bined with a high quality reference oscillator, the LMX2531
generates very stable, low noise local oscillator signals for up
and down conversion in wireless communication devices.
The LMX2531 is a monolithic integrated circuit, fabricated in
an advanced BiCMOS process. There are several different
versions of this product in order to accomdate different fre-
quency bands.
