PLL Frequency Synthesizer Family - CMOS
The devices described in this document are typically used as low–power, phase–locked loop frequency
synthesizers. When combined with an external low–pass filter and voltage–controlled oscillator, these
devices can provide all the remaining functions for a PLL frequency synthesizer operating up to the
device's frequency limit. For higher VCO frequency operation, a down mixer or a prescaler can be used
between the VCO and the synthesizer IC.
These frequency synthesizer chips can be found in the following and other applications:
CATV
TV Tuning
AM/FM Radios
Two–Way Radios
Scanning Receivers
Amateur Radio
