Description
The SP5768 is a single chip frequency synthesiser
designed for tuning systems up to 3.0GHz and is
optimized for low phase noise with comparison
frequencies up to 4 MHz.
The RF programmable divider contains a front end dual
modulus 16/17 functioning over the full operating range
and allows for coarse tuning in the upconverter
application and fine tuning in the downconverter.
Comparison frequencies are obtained either from a
crystal controlled on-chip oscillator or from an external
source. A buffered reference frequency output is also
available to drive a second SP5768.
The device also contains 4 switching ports.
