This RF synthesizer can generate frequencies up to 2.6 GHz, while reducing the number of components required to implement ca complete synthesizer solution.
FEQUENCY synthesizers are playing an increasingly important role in the growth of the wireless industry The wireless revolution has created a need for synthesizers that consume less board space, are less expensive than their predecessors, and can perform the frequency synthesis function in wireless communications equipment effectively The single-chip Si4136 industrial-scientifitic-medical (ISM) RF synthesizer from Silicon Laboratories, Inc. (Austin, TX) reduces the number of external components required, saving up to 60 percent of board space and cutting power consumption. It operates across the 2.0-to-2.6-GHz range and is...
