SP8855E
2.8GHz Parallel Load Professional Synthesiser
Advance Information
Supersedes version in January 1996 Professional Products IC Hanbook, HB2480-3.0
DS4239 - 3.0 March 1999
The SP8855E is one of a family of parallel load
synthesisers containing all the elements apart from the loop
amplifier to fabricate a PLL synthesis loop. Other devices in
the series are the SP8852E which is a fully programmable
device requiring two 16 bit words to set the RF and reference
counters, and the SP8854E which has hard wired reference
counter programming and requires a single bit word to pro-
gram the RF divider. The SP8855E replaces the existing
SP8855D.
PIN 1
The SP8855E is intended for applications where a fixed
synthesiser frequency is required although it can also be used
where frequency selection is set by switches. In general the
device will be programmed by connecting the programming
pins to either VCC or ground. Additional hard wired inputs can
be used to control the Fpd and Fref outputs set the control
direction of the loop and select the phase detector gain.
Another input may be used to disable the phase detector
output.
HC44
The device is available in both plastic (HP) and ceramic
(HC) J-leaded 44-lead chip carrier. Ambient temperature
ranges available are shown in the ordering information.
