About this manual

The LMX2364 integrates a high-performance 2.6 GHz fractional frequency synthesizer with an 850 MHz low-power integer-N frequency synthesizer, designed for use in local oscillator subsystems of radio transceivers. It generates stable, low-noise control signals for UHF and VHF voltage-controlled oscillators using National's high performance BiCMOS process.

The device supports both fractional and integer operating modes with a flexible programmable charge pump and FastLock technology to optimize phase noise and spurious performance. It features a three-wire serial interface compatible with 1.8V logic, operates on supply voltages from 2.7V to 5.5V, and is available in 24-pin Ultra Thin CSP and TSSOP packages.
