Model # LCFS1059 3.4 to 3.7 GHz Frequency Synthesizer Low Phase Noise in a Lower Cost Package Features • Low Phase Noise: -110 dBc/Hz (100 kHz offset) • Internal Reference Oscillator (External Optional) • No User Programming Required • Integrated Microcontroller Look-up Table • Customized Parallel or Serial Programming Available • 3 Additional Matched Output Lines are Available API Technologies’ Model LCFS1059 frequency synthesizer combines a monolithic integer-n microwave synthesizer, a reference oscillator and a microcontroller to provide an economical frequency source solution. Complex serial register programming is not required. A built-in lookup table in the microcontroller allows for simplified frequency programming with a dual 8-bit binary frequency selection word. Either parallel or serial programming can be accommodated. A fully mounted and finished DEMO board is available using the suffix “-DEMO” on the part number.
