Product Details
The LTC6947 is a high performance, low noise, 6GHz phase-locked loop (PLL), including a reference divider, phase-frequency detector (PFD), ultralow noise charge pump, fractional feedback divider, and VCO output divider.
The fractional divider uses an advanced, 4th order ΔΣ modulator which provides exceptionally low spurious levels. This allows wide loop bandwidths, producing extremely low integrated phase noise values.
The programmable VCO output divider, with a range of 1 through 6, extends the output frequency range. The differential, low-noise output buffer has user-programmable output power ranging from –4.3dBm to +4.5dBm, and may be muted through either a digital input pin or software.
The ultralow noise charge pump contains selectable high and low voltage clamps useful for VCO monitoring, and also may be set to provide a V+/2 bias.
All device settings are controlled through a SPI-compatible serial port.
Applications
- Wireless Basestations (LTE, WiMAX, W-CDMA, PCS)
- Broadband Wireless Access
- Microwave Data Links
- Military and Secure Radio
- Test and Measurement
