It 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 LMX2487 is highly resistant to changes in temperature and variations in wafer processing. The LMX2487 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 LMX2487 is transferred via a three line high speed (20 MHz) MICROWIRE interface. The LMX2487 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 LMX2487 is available in a 24 lead 4.0 X 4.0 X 0.8 mm LLP package. Applications • Cellular phones and base stations • Direct digital modulation applications • Satellite and cable TV tuners • WLAN Standards

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.
