These low-noise local-oscillator (LO) generators, optimized
for use in many different microwave applications between
7 and 15 GHz, deliver highly accurate performance in a small
footprint. They require no alignment or frequency modification
on the production line, so they simplify manufacturing. High
integration saves board space and makes design-in easier,
for lower overall cost, faster development, and quick time-tomarket.
Since these ICs are manufactured in NXP’s industry-leading
QUBiC4X SiGe:C process, they offer better overall RF
performance, are more robust than their GaAs equivalents, and
consume much less power.
The process technology also enables higher integration, for
added features. NXP owns the industrial base for production
(wafer fab, test, assembly), so volume supplies can be assured.
ranging from 7 to 15 GHz. The RF performance of all these
devices is consistent with the TFF1003HN.
The TFF1007HN offers the highest performance. It has a VCO
range of 14.75 to 15 GHz and supports input signals from
230.46 to 234.48 MHz. It offers improved in-band phase noise
(PN) of -140 dBc/Hz and increased minimum output power
(-4 dBm). The divider setting is 64 only. All the LO generators
have very low power dissipation (typical 330 mW), and all are
available in a space-saving 24-pin HVQFN package.
The TFF1003HN is the basis for the entire family of LO
generators. It has VCO coverage of 12.8 to 13.05 GHz and
accepts input signals from 50 to 816 MHz. The divider can be set
for 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256, and the output level is -5 dBm with a
stability of ±2 dB. The family of LO generators is completed by
a range of 18 different devices operating in a center frequency
