The LMX2531 Family is the industry’s lowest power high performance monolithic phase-locked loop and voltage-controlled oscillator (PLL+VCO) integrated circuit. National’s LMX2531 Family is well suited for cellular infrastructure as well as broad-market applications such as automotive, satellite, and test and measurement equipment.
Leveraging expertise in radio (RF) design and advanced process technology, National's team of designers developed the LMX2531 Family, an integrated PLL+VCO that delivers both high performance and a high degree of integration. This enables design engineers to generate solutions that have a lower bill of materials as well as a smaller circuit footprint.
Features
Best-in-class phase noise performance
Low power consumption, 34 mA (typ), reduces heat and prolongs battery life
CodeLoader 4.1 for LMK and LMX Devices
National's CodeLoader 4 software is used to program LMK and LMX products through either the USB or LPT port of a computer. Aside from this function, it is also provides information on how to program the part by showing the bits that are actually sent.
