General Description
Features
The LMX2335U and LMX2336U devices are high performance frequency synthesizers with integrated dual modulus
prescalers. The LMX2335U and LMX2336U devices are
designed for use in applications requiring two RF
phase-locked loops.
A 64/65 or a 128/129 prescale ratio can be selected for each
RF synthesizer. Using a proprietary digital phase locked loop
technique, the LMX2335U and LMX2336U devices generate
very stable, low noise control signals for the RF voltage
controlled oscillators. Both RF synthesizers include a
two-level programmable charge pump. The RF1 synthesizer
has dedicated Fastlock circuitry.
Serial data is transferred to the devices via a three wire
interface (Data, LE, Clock). Supply voltages from 2.7V to
5.5V are supported. The LMX2335U and the LMX2336U
feature very low current consumption:

measured at an offset frequency, f, in a 1 Hz bandwidth. The offset frequency, f, must be chosen sufficiently smaller than the PLL’s loop bandwidth, yet large enough
to avoid substantial phase noise contribution from the reference source. N is the value selected for the feedback divider and Fφ is the RF1/RF2 phase detector
comparison frequency..
Note 11: The synthesizer phase noise is measured with the LMX2335TMEB/LMX2335SLBEB or LMX2336TMEB/LMX2336SLBEB/LMX2336SLEEB Evaluation
boards and the HP8566B Spectrum Analyzer.

Test Setups
LMX2335U and LMX2336U Charge Pump Test Setup
10136750
The block diagram above illustrates the setup required to
measure the LMX2336U device’s RF1 charge pump sink
current. The same setup is used for the LMX2336TMEB/
LMX2336SLEEB Evaluation Boards. The RF2 charge pump
measurement setup is similar to the RF1 charge pump measurement setup. The purpose of this test is to assess the
functionality of the RF1 charge pump.
This setup uses an open loop configuration. A power supply
is connected to Vcc and swept from 2.7V to 5.5V. By means
of a signal generator, a 10 MHz signal is typically applied to
the fIN RF1 pin. The signal is one of two inputs to the phase
detector. The 3 dB pad provides a 50 Ω match between the
PLL and the signal generator. The OSCin pin is tied to Vcc.
This establishes the other input to the phase detector. Alternatively, this input can be tied directly to the ground plane.
With the Do RF1 pin connected to a Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer in this way, the sink, source, and TRI-STATE
currents can be measured by simply toggling the Phase
Detector Polarity and Charge Pump State states in Code
Loader. Similarly, the LOW and HIGH currents can be measured by switching the Charge Pump Gain’s state between
1X and 4X in Code Loader.
www.national.com
Let Fr represent the frequency of the signal applied to the
OSCin pin, which is simply zero in this case (DC), and let Fp
represent the frequency of the signal applied to the fIN RF1
pin. The phase detector is sensitive to the rising edges of Fr
and Fp. Assuming positive VCO characteristics; the charge
pump turns ON and sinks current when the first rising edge
of Fp is detected. Since Fr has no rising edge, the charge
pump continues to sink current indefinitely.
Toggling the Phase Detector Polarity state to negative
VCO characteristics allows the measurement of the RF1
charge pump source current. Likewise, selecting TRI-STATE
(TRI-STATE IDo RF1 Bit = 1) for Charge Pump State in
Code Loader facilitates the measurement of the TRI-STATE
current.
The measurements are repeated at different temperatures,
namely TA = -40˚C, +25˚C, and +85˚C.
The LMX2335U charge pump test setup is very much similar
to the above test setup.

the 10 MHz reference output of the signal generator. The
output of the feedback divider is thus monitored and should
be equal to fIN RF1 / N.
The fIN RF1 input frequency and power level are then swept
with the signal generator. The measurements are repeated
at different temperatures, namely TA = -40˚C, +25˚C, and
+85˚C. Sensitivity is reached when the frequency error of the
divided RF input is greater than or equal to 1 Hz. The power
attenuation from the cable and the 3 dB pad must be accounted for. The feedback divider will actually miscount if too
much or too little power is applied to the fIN RF1 input.
Therefore, the allowed input power level will be bounded by
the upper and lower sensitivity limits. In a typical application,
if the power level to the fIN RF1 input approaches the sensitivity limits, this can introduce spurs and degradation in
phase noise. When the power level gets even closer to these
limits, or exceeds it, then the RF1 PLL loses lock.
The LMX2335U fIN sensitivity test setup is very much similar
to the above test setup.
The block diagram above illustrates the setup required to
measure the LMX2336U device’s RF1 input sensitivity level.
The same setup is used for the LMX2336TMEB/
LMX2336SLEEB Evaluation Boards. The RF2 input sensitivity test setup is similar to the RF1 sensitivity test setup. The
purpose of this test is to measure the acceptable signal level
to the fIN RF1 input of the PLL chip. Outside the acceptable
signal range, the feedback divider begins to divide incorrectly and miscount the frequency.
The setup uses an open loop configuration. A power supply
is connected to Vcc and the bias voltage is swept from 2.7V
to 5.5V. The RF2 PLL is powered down (PWDN RF2 Bit = 1).
By means of a signal generator, an RF signal is applied to
the fIN RF1 pin. The 3 dB pad provides a 50 Ω match
between the PLL and the signal generator. The OSCin pin is
tied to Vcc. The N value is typically set to 10000 in Code
Loader, i.e. RF1 N_CNTRB Word = 156 and RF1 N_CNTRA
Word = 16 for PRE RF1 Bit = 0. The feedback divider output
is routed to the FoLD pin by selecting the RF1 PLL N Divider
Output word (FoLD Word = 6 or 14) in Code Loader. A

The block diagram above illustrates the setup required to

level. The same setup is used for the LMX2336TMEB/
LMX2336SLEEB Evaluation Boards. This setup is similar to
the fIN sensitivity setup except that the signal generator is
now connected to the OSCin pin and both fIN pins are tied to
VCC. The 51 Ω shunt resistor matches the OSCin input to the
signal generator. The R counter is typically set to 1000, i.e.
RF1 R_CNTR Word = 1000 or RF2 R_CNTR Word = 1000.
The reference divider output is routed to the FoLD pin by
selecting the RF1 PLL R Divider Output word (FoLD Word
= 2 or 10) or the RF2 PLL R Divider Output word (FoLD
Word = 1 or 9) in Code Loader. Similarly, a Universal

Counter is connected to the FoLD pin and is tied to the 10
MHz reference output from the signal generator. The output
of the reference divider is monitored and should be equal to

Again, VCC is swept from 2.7V to 5.5V. The OSCin input
frequency and voltage level are then swept with the signal
generator. The measurements are repeated at different temperatures, namely TA = -40˚C, +25˚C, and +85˚C. Sensitivity

LMX2335U and LMX2336U fIN Impedance Test Setup
10136779
The block diagram above illustrates the setup required to
measure the LMX2336U device’s RF1 input impedance. The
RF2 input impedance and reference oscillator impedance
setups are very much similar. The same setup is used for a
LMX2336TMEB Evaluation Board. Measuring the device’s
input impedance facilitates the design of appropriate matching networks to match the PLL to the VCO, or in more critical
situations, to the characteristic impedance of the printed
circuit board (PCB) trace, to prevent undesired transmission
line effects.
Before the actual measurements are taken, the Network
Analyzer needs to be calibrated, i.e. the error coefficients
need to be calculated. Therefore, three standards will be
used to calculate these coefficients: an open, short and a
matched load. A 1-port calibration is implemented here.
To calculate the coefficients, the PLL chip is first removed
from the PCB. The Network Analyzer port is then connected
to the RF1 OUT connector of the evaluation board and the
desired operating frequency is set. The typical frequency
range selected for the LMX2336U device’s RF1 synthesizer
is from 100 MHz to 2000 MHz. The standards will be located
down the length of the RF1 OUT transmission line. The
transmission line adds electrical length and acts as an offset
from the reference plane of the Network Analyzer; therefore,
it must be included in the calibration. Although not shown, 0
Ω resistors are used to complete the RF1 OUT transmission
line (trace).
To implement an open standard, the end of the RF1 OUT
trace is simply left open. To implement a short standard, a 0
Ω resistor is placed at the end of the RF1 OUT transmission
line. Last of all, to implement a matched load standard, two
100 Ω resistors in parallel are placed at the end of the RF1
OUT transmission line. The Network Analyzer calculates the
calibration coefficients based on the measured S11 parameters. With this all done, calibration is now complete.
The PLL chip is then placed on the PCB. A power supply is
connected to VCC and the bias voltage is swept from 2.7V to
5.5V. The OSCin pin is tied to the ground plane. Alternatively,
the OSCin pin can be tied to VCC. In this setup, the complementary input (fIN RF1) is AC coupled to ground. With the
Network Analyzer still connected to RF1 OUT, the measured
fIN RF1 impedance is displayed.
Note: The impedance of the reference oscillator is measured
when the oscillator buffer is powered up (PWDN RF1 Bit = 0
or PWDN RF2 Bit = 0), and when the oscillator buffer is
powered down (PWDN RF1 Bit = 1 and PWDN RF2 Bit = 1).
The LMX2335U fIN impedance test setup is very much similar to the above test setup. Note that there are no complementary inputs in the LMX2335U device.

lus configuration. The output of the prescaler is used to clock
the subsequent feedback dividers. The complementary inputs of both the RF1 and RF2 synthesizers can be driven
differentially, or the negative input can be AC coupled to
ground through an external capacitor for single ended configuration. A 64/65 or a 128/129 prescale ratio can be selected for the both the RF1 and RF2 synthesizers. On the
other hand, the LMX2335U PLL is only intended for single
ended operation. Similarly, a 64/65 or a 128/129 prescale
ratio can be selected for both the RF1 and RF2 synthesizers.
The basic phase-lock-loop (PLL) configuration consists of a
high-stability crystal reference oscillator, a frequency synthesizer such as the National Semiconductor LMX2335U or
LMX2336U, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and a
passive loop filter. The frequency synthesizer includes a
phase detector, current mode charge pump, programmable
reference R and feedback N frequency dividers. The VCO
frequency is established by dividing the crystal reference
signal down via the reference divider to obtain a comparison
reference frequency. This reference signal, Fr, is then presented to the input of a phase/frequency detector and compared with the feedback signal, Fp, which was obtained by
dividing the VCO frequency down by way of the feedback
divider. The phase/frequency detector measures the phase
error between the Fr and Fp signals and outputs control
signals that are directly proportional to the phase error. The
charge pump then pumps charge into or out of the loop filter
based on the magnitude and direction of the phase error.
The loop filter converts the charge into a stable control
voltage for the VCO. The phase/frequency detector’s function is to adjust the voltage presented to the VCO until the
feedback signal’s frequency and phase match that of the
reference signal. When this “Phase-Locked” condition exists,
the VCO frequency will be N times that of the comparison
frequency, where N is the feedback divider ratio.
1.4 PROGRAMMABLE FEEDBACK DIVIDERS (N
COUNTERS)
The programmable feedback dividers operate in concert with
the prescalers to divide the input signal fIN by a factor of N.
The output of the programmable reference divider is provided to the feedback input of the phase detector circuit. The
divide ratio should be chosen such that the maximum phase
comparison frequency (FφRF1 or FφRF2) of 10 MHz is not
exceeded.
The programmable feedback divider circuit is comprised of
an A counter (swallow counter) and a B counter (programmble binary counter). The RF1 N_CNTRA counter and RF2
N_CNTRA counter are both 7-bit CMOS swallow counters,
programmable from 0 to 127. The RF1 N_CNTRB and RF2
N_CNTRB counters are both 11-bit CMOS binary counters,
programmable from 3 to 2047. A continuous integer divide
ratio is achieved if N ≥ P * (P−1), where P is the value of the
prescaler selected. Divide ratios less than the minimum continuous divide ratio are achievable as long as the binary
programmable counter value is greater than the swallow
counter value (N_CNTRB ≥ N_CNTRA). Refer to Sections
2.5.1, 2.5.2, 2.7.1 and 2.7.2 for details on how to program
the N_CNTRA and N_CNTRB counters. The following equations are useful in determining and programming a particular
value of N:

LMX2336U RF2 synthesizer: P = 64 or 128
1.1 REFERENCE OSCILLATOR INPUT
The reference oscillator frequency for both the RF1 and RF2
PLLs is provided from an external reference via the OSCin
pin. The reference buffer circuit supports input frequencies
from 5 to 40 MHz with a minimum input sensitivity of 0.5 VPP.
The reference buffer circuit has an approximate VCC/2 input
threshold and can be driven from an external CMOS or TTL
logic gate. Typically, the OSCin pin is connected to the output
of a crystal oscillator.
1.2 REFERENCE DIVIDERS (R COUNTERS)
The reference dividers divide the reference input signal,
OSCin, by a factor of R. The output of the reference divider
circuits feeds the reference input of the phase detector. This
reference input to the phase detector is often referred to as
the comparison frequency. The divide ratio should be chosen
such that the maximum phase comparison frequency (FφRF1
or FφRF2) of 10 MHz is not exceeded.
The RF1 and RF2 reference dividers are each comprised of
15-bit CMOS binary counters that support a continuous integer divide ratio from 3 to 32767. The RF1 and RF2 reference divider circuits are clocked by the output of the reference buffer circuit which is common to both.
1.3 PRESCALERS
The fIN RF1 (fIN RF2) and fIN RF1 (fIN RF2) input pins of the
LMX2336U device drives the input of a bipolar, differentialpair amplifier. The output of the bipolar, differential-pair amplifier drives a chain of ECL D-type flip-flops in a dual modu-

1.5 PHASE/FREQUENCY DETECTORS
The RF1 and RF2 phase/frequency detectors are driven
from their respective N and R counter outputs. The maximum frequency for both the RF1 and RF2 phase detector
inputs is 10 MHz. The phase/frequency detector outputs
control the respective charge pumps. The polarity of the
pump-up or pump-down control signals are programmed
using the PD_POL RF1 or PD_POL RF2 control bits, de-
pending on whether the RF1 or RF2 VCO characteristics are
positive or negative. Refer to Sections 2.4.2 and 2.6.2 for
more details. The phase/frequency detectors have a detection range of −2π to +2π. The phase/frequency detectors
also receive a feedback signal from the charge pump in
order to eliminate dead zone.

The minimum width of the pump-up and pump-down current pulses occur at the Do RF1 or Do RF2 pins when the loop is phase locked.

Fr is the phase detector input from the reference divider (R counter).
4.
Fp is the phase detector input from the programmable feedback divder (N counter).
5.
Do refers to either the RF1 or RF2 charge pump output.
1.6 CHARGE PUMPS
The charge pump directs charge into or out of an external
loop filter. The loop filter converts the charge into a stable
control voltage which is applied to the tuning input of the
VCO. The charge pump steers the VCO control voltage
towards VP RF1 or VP RF2 during pump-up events and
towards GND during pump-down events. When locked, Do
RF1 or Do RF2 are primarily in a TRI-STATE mode with small
corrections occuring at the phase comparator rate. The
charge pump output current magnitude can be selected by
toggling the IDo RF1 or IDo RF2 control bits.
1.8 MULTI-FUNCTION OUTPUTS
The FoLD output pin is a multi-function output that can be
configured as the RF1 FastLock output, a push-pull analog
lock detect output, counter reset, or used to monitor the
output of the various reference divider (R counter) or feedback divider (N counter) circuits. The FoLD control word is
used to select the desired output function. When the PLL is
in powerdown mode, the FoLD output is pulled to a LOW
state. A complete programming description of the
multi-function output is provided in Section 2.8 FoLD.
1.8.1 Push-Pull Analog Lock Detect Output
An analog lock detect status generated from the phase
detector is available on the FoLD output pin if selected. The
lock detect output goes HIGH when the charge pump is
inactive. It goes LOW when the charge pump is active during
a comparison cycle. When viewed with an oscilloscope,
narrow negative pulses are observed when the charge pump
turns on. The lock detect output signal is a push-pull configuration.
Three separate lock detect signals are routed to the multiplexer. Two of these monitor the ‘lock’ status of the individual
synthesizers. The third detects the condition when both the
RF1 and RF2 synthesizers are in a ‘locked state’. External
circuitry however, is required to provide a steady DC signal
to indicate when the PLL is in a locked state. Refer to
Section 2.8 FoLD for details on how to program the different
lock detect options.
1.7 MICROWIRE SERIAL INTERFACE
The programmable register set is accessed via the MICROWIRE serial interface. The interface is comprised of
three signal pins: Clock, Data and LE (Latch Enable). Serial
data is clocked into the 22-bit shift register on the rising edge
of Clock. The last two bits decode the internal control register address. When LE transitions HIGH, data stored in the
shift register is loaded into one of four control registers
depending on the state of the address bits. The MSB of Data
is loaded in first. The synthesizers can be programmed even
in power down mode. A complete programming description
is provided in Section 2.0 Programming Description.

1.8.2 Open Drain FastLock Output
1.9 POWER CONTROL
Each synthesizer in the LMX2335U or LMX2336U is individually power controlled by device powerdown bits. The
powerdown word is comprised of the PWDN RF1 (PWDN
RF2) bit, in conjuction with the TRI-STATE IDo RF1
(TRI-STATE IDo RF2) bit. The powerdown control word is
used to set the operating mode of the device. Refer to
Sections 2.4.4, 2.5.4, 2.6.4, and 2.7.4 for details on how to
program the RF1 or RF2 powerdown bits.
When either the RF1 synthesizer or the RF2 synthesizer
enters the powerdown mode, the respective prescaler,
phase detector, and charge pump circuit are disabled. The
Do RF1 (Do RF2), fIN RF1 (fIN RF2), and fIN RF1 (fIN RF2)
pins are all forced to a high impedance state. The reference
divider and feedback divider circuits are held at the load
point during powerdown. The oscillator buffer is disabled
when both the RF1 and RF2 synthesizers are powered
down. The OSCin pin is forced to a HIGH state through an
approximate 100 kΩ resistance when this condition exists.
When either synthesizer is activated, the respective prescaler, phase detector, charge pump circuit, and the oscillator
buffer are all powered up. The feedback divider, and the
reference divider are held at load point. This allows the
reference oscillator, feedback divider, reference divider and
prescaler circuitry to reach proper bias levels. After a finite
delay, the feedback and reference dividers are enabled and
they resume counting in ‘close’ alignment (the maximum
error is one prescaler cycle). The MICROWIRE control register remains active and capable of loading and latching data
while in the powerdown mode.
The LMX233xU Fastlock feature allows faster loop response
time during lock aquisition. The loop response time (lock
time) can be approximately halved if the loop bandwidth is
doubled. In order to achieve this, the same gain/ phase
relationship at twice the loop bandwidth must be maintained.
This can be achieved by increasing the charge pump current
from 0.95 mA (IDo RF1 Bit = 0) in the steady state mode, to
3.8 mA (IDo RF1 Bit = 1) in Fastlock. When the FoLD output
is configured as a FastLock output, an open drain device is
enabled. The open drain device switches in a parallel resistor R2’ to ground, of equal value to resistor R2 of the external
loop filter. The loop bandwidth is effectively doubled and
stability is maintained. Once locked to the correct frequency,
the PLL will return to a steady state condition. Refer to
Section 2.8 FoLD for details on how to configure the FoLD
output to an open drain Fastlock output.
1.8.3 Counter Reset
Three separate counter reset functions are provided. When
the FoLD is programmed to Reset RF2 Counters, both the
RF2 feedback divider and the RF2 reference divider are held
at their load point. When the Reset RF1 Counters is programmed, both the RF1 feedback divider and the RF1 reference divider are held at their load point. When the Reset
All Counters mode is enabled, all feedback dividers and
reference dividers are held at their load point. When the
device is programmed to normal operation, both the feedback divider and reference divider are enabled and resume
counting in ‘close’ alignment to each other. Refer to Section
2.8 FoLD for more details.
1.8.4 Reference Divider and Feedback Divider Output
The outputs of the various N and R dividers can be monitored by selecting the appropriate FoLD word. This is essential when performing OSCin or fIN sensitivity measurements.
Refer to the Test Setups section for more details. Refer to
Section 2.8 FoLD for more details on how to route the
appropriate divider output to the FoLD pin.
Synchronous Powerdown Mode
In this mode, the powerdown function is gated by the charge
pump. When the device is configured for synchronous powerdown, the device will enter the powerdown mode upon
completion of the next charge pump pulse event.
Asynchronous Powerdown Mode
In this mode, the powerdown function is NOT gated by the
completion of a charge pump pulse event. When the device
is configured for asynchronous powerdown, the part will go
into powerdown mode immediately.
