  • Description

    The LMX2470 is a low power, high performance delta-sigma fractional-N PLL with an auxiliary integer-N PLL. The device is fabricated using National Semiconductor's advanced BiCMOS process.

    With delta-sigma architecture, fractional spur compensation is achieved with noise shaping capability of the delta-sigma modulator and the inherent low pass filtering of the PLL loop filter. Fractional spurs at lower frequencies are pushed to higher frequencies outside the loop bandwidth. Unlike analog compensation, the digital feedback techniques used in the LMX2470 are highly resistant to changes in temperature and variations in wafer processing. With delta-sigma architecture, the ability to push close in spur and phase noise energy to higher frequencies is a direct function of the modulator order. The higher the order, the more this energy can be spread to higher frequencies. The LMX2470 has a programmable modulator up to order four, which allows the designer to select the optimum modulator order to fit the phase noise, spur, and lock time requirements of the system.

    Programming is fast and simple. Serial data is transferred into the LMX2470 via a three line MICROWIRE interface (Data, Clock, Load Enable). Nominal supply voltage is 2.5 V. The LMX2470 features a typical current consumption of 4.1 mA at 2.5 V. The LMX2470 is available in a 24 lead 3.5 X 4.5 X 0.6 mm package.

    The LMX2470SLE Evaluation Board simplifies evaluation of the LMX2470 PLLatinum™ Delta Sigma 2.6 GHz Fractional-N PLL with 800 MHz Integer-N PLL. The board enables all performance measurements with no additional support circuitry.

    The evaluation board consists of a LMX2470SLE device, RF and IF VCO modules, and RF and IF loop filters built by discrete components. The SMA flange mount connectors are provided for external reference input, RF and IF VCO outputs, and the power and grounding connection. A cable assembly is bundled with the evaluation board for connecting to a PC through the parallel printer port. By means of MICROWIRE™ serial port emulation, the Code Loader software included can be run on a PC to facilitate the LMX2470 internal register
    programming for the evaluation and measurement.

    Note: The Early Failure Rates (EFR) were calculated as point estimate PPM based on rejects and sample size for EFR. The Long Term Failure Rates were calculated at 60% confidence using the Arrhenius equation at 0.7eV activation energy and derating the assumed stress temperature of 150°C to an application temperature of 55°C.
