LMX2487
3.0 GHz - 6.0 GHz High Performance Delta-Sigma Low
Power Dual PLLatinum
3.0 GHz Integer PLL
General Description
The LMX2487 is a low power, high performance delta-sigma
fractional-N PLL with an auxiliary integer-N PLL. It is fabri-
cated 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 process-
ing. 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 modula-
tion 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.

... The expected frequency at the Ftest/LD pin should be the signal generator frequency divided by twice the corresponding counter value. The factor of two comes in because the LMX2487 has a flip-flop which divides this frequency by two to make the duty cycle 50% in order to make it easier to read with the frequency counter. The frequency counter input impedance should be set to high impedance ...

... Input Impedance Measurement Procedure The above block diagram shows the test setup used for measuring the input impedance for the LMX2487.
