RF phase comparison frequency up to 50 MHz 2.5 to 3.6 volt operation with ICC = 8.5 mA at 3.0 V Description The LMX2486 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 process. With delta-sigma architecture, fractional spurs at lower offset frequencies are pushed to higher frequencies outside the loop bandwidth. The ability to push close in spur and phase noise energy to higher frequencies is a direct function of the modulator order. Unlike analog compensation, the digital feedback technique used in the LMX2486 is highly resistant to changes in temperature and variations in wafer processing. The LMX2486 delta-sigma modulator is programmable up to fourth order, which allows the designer to select the optimum modulator order to fit the phase noise, spur, and lock time requirements of the system. Serial data for programming the LMX2486 is transferred via a three line high speed (20 MHz) MICROWIRE interface. The LMX2486 offers fine frequency resolution, low spurs, fast programming speed, and a single word write to change the frequency. This makes it ideal for direct digital modulation applications, where the N counter is directly modulated with information. The LMX2486 is available in a 24 lead 4.0 X 4.0 X 0.8 mm LLP package. Applications Cellular phones and base stations CDMA, WCDMA, GSM/GPRS, TDMA, EDGE, PDC Direct digital modulation applications Satellite and cable TV tuners WLAN Standards

The LMX2486 Evaluation Board simplifies evaluation of the LMX2486 4.5 GHz/3.0 GHz PLLatinumTM dual frequency synthesizer. The board enables all performance measurements with no additional support circuitry. The evaluation board consists of a LMX2486 device, a RF VCO module and IF VCO & RF/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 MICROWIRETM serial port emulation, the CodeLoader software included can be run on a PC to facilitate the LMX2486 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.
