Very Low RMS Noise and Spurs
The LMX2541 is an ultra low noise frequency
-225 dBc/Hz Normalized PLL Phase Noise
synthesizer which integrates a high performance
Integrated RMS Noise (100 Hz - 20 MHz)
delta-sigma fractional N PLL, a VCO with fully
integrated tank circuit, and an optional frequency
2 mrad (100 Hz - 20 MHz) at 2.1 GHz
divider. The PLL offers an unprecedented normalized
3.5 mrad (100 Hz - 20 MHz) at 3.5 GHz
noise floor of -225 dBc/Hz and can be operated with
Ultra Low-Noise Integrated VCO
up to 104 MHz of phase-detector rate (comparison
frequency) in both integer and fractional modes. The
External VCO Option (Internal VCO Bypassed)
PLL can also be configured to work with an external
VCO Frequency Divider 1 to 63 (all values)
VCO.
Programmable Output Power
The LMX2541 integrates several low-noise, high
Up to 104 MHz Phase Detector Frequency
precision LDOs and output driver matching network to
Integrated Low-Noise LDOs
provide higher supply noise immunity and more
consistent performance, while reducing the number of
Programmable Charge Pump Output
external components. When combined with a high
Partially Integrated Loop Filter
quality reference oscillator, the LMX2541 generates a
Digital Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)
very stable, ultra low noise signal.
Modulation Pin
The LMX2541 is offered in a family of 6 devices with
Integrated Reference Crystal Oscillator Circuit
varying VCO frequency range from 1990 MHz up to 4
Hardware and Software Power Down
GHz. Using a flexible divider, the LMX2541 can
generate frequencies as low as 31.6 MHz. The
FastLock Mode and VCO-Based Cycle Slip
LMX2541 is a monolithic integrated circuit, fabricated

in a proprietary BiCMOS process. Device
Analog and Digital Lock Detect
programming is facilitated using a three-wire
1.6 V Logic Compatibility
MICROWIRE interface that can operate down to 1.6
volts. Supply voltage ranges from 3.15 to 3.45 volts.
TARGET APPLICATIONS The LMX2541 is available in a 36 pin 6x6x0.8 mm
WQFN Package.
