MB15F8xUL Series Fractional-N / Integer dual PLL Frequency Synthesizers DESCRIPTION Packages The Fujitsu MB15F8xUL series dual PLLs are serial input Frequency synthesizers. The Fractional-N PLL operates up to 2.6 GHz and the integer PLL operates up to 1200 MHz. They have built-in dual-modulus prescalers enabling pulse swallow operation and fixed or selectable fractional modulo. The latest advanced BiCMOS technology is used resulting in a super low supply current. A refined charge pump design (Fujitsu’s Super Charger) provides fast tuning along with low spurious noise and phase noise characteristics. The MB15F8xUL series is ideally suited for digital mobile communications, including GSM, DCS1800, PCS1900, IS-136, IS-95 and ISM applications. 20-pin, Plastic TSSOP FPT-20P-M06 20-pad, Plastic BCC LCC-20P-M05 FEATURES • Fractional-N RF PLL and Integer IF PLL • Very low spurious and phase noise characteristics • Low operating voltage: 2.4 to 3.6 volts • Low operating current: 5.8 to 6 mA (typical) • Power-saving current: 0.1µA (typical) Parameter MB15F83UL • Wide operating temperature: –40 to +85°C • New 30% smaller BCC 20 package • Plastic 20-pin TSSOP • Selectable charge pump current (±1.5 or ±6.0 mA) • Evaluation Kits available MB15F86UL MB15F88UL RF/RX Frequency - max. 2 GHz 2.5 GHz 2.6 GHz IF/TX Frequency - max 600 MHz 600 MHz 1.2 GHz Low Power Supply Voltage 2.7V 2.7V 2.7V Low Power Supply Current 5.8 Ma 5.8 mA 6.0 mA Prescaler Divide Ratios RF = 16/17 IF = 8/9 OR 16/17 Reference Divider Fractional Function Fractional Counter Swallow Counter Programmable Counter Rx = 32/33 IF = 8/9 or 16/17 Tx = 16/17 or 32/33 RF = 3 to 127 RF = 3 to 255 IF = 3 to 16383 IF = 3 to 16383 RF = modulo 13 fixed RF = modulo 3 to 16 RF = 0 to 15 RF = 0 to 15 RF = 0 to 31 RF = 8 to 16383 IF = 8 to 16383 RF = modulo 5 or 8 RF = 0 to 15 RF = 0 to 31 RX = 0 to 31 IF = 0 to 15 IF = 0 to 31 TX = 0 to 31 RF = 18 to 1,023 RF = 18 to 1,023 IF = 3 to 2.027 Power Saving Function RF = 16/17 or 32/33 IF = 3 to 2.027 0.1µA typ.

Therefore, Fujitsu has made available an evaluation system to aid in the development of reliable frequency synthesizers. Each evaluation system consists of two PCBs, controlling software, and instructions. The RF PCB is laid out to allow the target MB158xUL to be optimized for the chosen application. The RF board is only semi-populated, which allows the user to configure it to fit the application.
