General Description
Features
The LMX2346/7 are high performance frequency synthesizers with an integrated 32/33 dual modulus prescaler. The
LMX2346 is designed for RF operation up to 2.0 GHz. The
LMX2347 is designed for RF operation up to 2.5 GHz. Using
a proprietary digital phase locked loop technique, the
LMX2346/7 generates very stable, low noise control signals
for UHF and VHF voltage controlled oscillators.
Serial data is transferred into the LMX2346/7 via a three-line
MICROWIRE interface (DATA, LE, CLOCK). Supply voltage
range is from 2.7V to 5.5V. The charge pump provides 4 mA
output current.
The LMX2346/7 are manufactured using National’s 0.5µ
ABiC V silicon BiCMOS process and is available in 16-pin
TSSOP and 16-pin CSP packages.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Recommended Operating Conditions indicate conditions for
which the device is intended to be functional. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions see the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: This device is a high performance RF integrated circuit with an ESD rating < 2 kV. Handling and assembly of this device should only be done at ESD
protected workstations.
Note 3: Phase Noise is measured using a reference evaluation board with a loop bandwidth of approximately 12 kHz. The phase noise specification is the
composite average of 3 measurements made at frequency offsets of 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 kHz.
Note 4: See Charge Pump Measurement Definitions for detail on how these measurements are made.
Note 5: See Serial Input Data Timing.
Note 6: See FIN Sensitivity Test Setup.
Note 7: See OSCin Sensitivity Test Setup.
Note 8: Normalized Single-Side Band Phase Noise is defined as: LN(f) = L(f) − 20 log (FIN/ Fφ), where L(f) is defined as the Single Side-Band Phase Noise.
Note 9: This parameter is derived from Normalized Single Side-Phase Noise, Ln(f).
Note 10: For FOSC frequencies below 10 MHz, it is recommended that the rise time of the signal does not exceed 25ns.

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 RF VCO’s frequency will be N times that of the comparison frequency, where N is the feedback divider ratio.
1.0 Functional Description
The basic phase-lock-loop (PLL) configuration consists of a
high-stability crystal reference oscillator, a frequency synthesizer such as the National Semiconductor LMX2346/7, a
voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and a passive loop filter.
The frequency synthesizer includes a phase detector, current mode charge pump, a programmable reference divider,
and a programmable feedback divider. The VCO frequency
is established by dividing the crystal reference signal down
via the reference divider to obtain a frequency that sets the
comparison frequency. This reference signal, fr, is then presented to the input of a phase/frequency detector and compared with another signal, fp, the feedback signal, which was

1.4 PROGRAMMABLE FEEDBACK DIVIDER
(N COUNTER)
(Continued)
1.1 REFERENCE OSCILLATOR
The programmable feedback divider operates in concert with
the RF prescaler to divide the input RF 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 programmable divider supports a continuous
integer divide range from 992 to 32,767. The divide ratio
should be chosen such that the maximum phase comparison
frequency (Fφ) of 10 MHz is not exceeded.
The reference oscillator frequency for the PLL is provided
from an external source via the OSCin pin. The reference
buffer circuit supports input frequencies from 5 MHz to 104
MHz with a minimum input sensitivity of 0.4 VPP. The reference buffer circuit has a VCC/2 input threshold and can be
driven from an external CMOS or TTL logic gate. The
R_OPT control word is used to optimize the performance of
the reference buffer circuit for best Phase Noise and power
consumption performance based on the frequency of the
reference source. Refer to Section 2.2.5 for details on programming the R_OPT control word.
The programmable divider circuit is comprised of an A
Counter and a B Counter. The A counter is a 5-bit CMOS
swallow counter programmable from 0 to 31. The B Counter
is a 10-bit CMOS binary counter, programmable from 3 to
1023. Divide ratios less than 992 are achievable as long as
the binary counter value is greater or equal to the swallow
counter value (NB_CNTR ≥ NA_CNTR). Refer to Section
2.3.2 and 2.3.3 for details on programming the NA and NB
Counter. The following equations are useful in determining
and programming a particular value of N:
1.2 REFERENCE DIVIDER (R COUNTER)
The reference divider is comprised of a 10-bit CMOS binary
counter that supports a continuous integer divide range from
2 to 1,023. The divide ratio should be chosen such that the
maximum phase comparison frequency of 10 MHz is not
exceeded. The reference divider circuit is clocked by the
output of the reference buffer circuit. The output of the
reference divider circuit feeds the reference input of the
phase detector circuit. The frequency of the reference input
to the phase detector (also referred to as the comparison
frequency) is equal to reference oscillator frequency divided
by the reference divider ratio. Refer to Section 2.2.1 for
details on programming the R Counter.
N = (32 x NB_CNTR) + NA_CNTR
FIN = N x Fφ
Definitions
1.3 RF PRESCALER
The LMX2346/7 contain a fixed 32/33 dual modulus RF
prescaler. The RF Prescaler operates from 100 MHz to 2000
MHz on the LMX2346 and from 100 MHz to 2500 MHz on
the LMX2347.
The complementary FIN and FINB input pins drive the input of
a bipolar, differential-pair amplifier. The output of the bipolar,
differential-pair amplifier drives a chain of ECL D-type flipflops in a dual modulus configuration. The output of the
prescaler is used to clock the subsequent programmable
feedback divider.

1.5 PHASE/FREQUENCY DETECTOR
The phase/frequency detector is driven from the N and R
counter outputs. The maximum frequency at the phase detector inputs is 10 MHz. The phase detector outputs control
the charge pump. The polarity of the pump-up or pump-down
control signals are programmed using the PD_POL control
bit, depending on whether the RF VCO tuning characteristics
are positive or negative (see programming description in
Section 2.2.3). The phase/frequency detector has a detection range of −2π to +2π.
Phase Comparator And Internal Charge Pump Characteristics
20038411
Note 11: The minimum width of the pump up and pump down current pulses occur at the CPo pin when the loop is phase-locked.
Note 12: The diagram assumes that PD_POL = 1
Note 13: fR is the phase comparator input from the R Divider
Note 14: fP is the phase comparator input from the N Divider
Note 15: CPo is charge pump output
1.6 CHARGE PUMP
The charge pumps 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 a VCO.
The charge pump steers the VCO control voltage towards VP
during pump-up events and towards GND during pumpwww.national.com
down events. When locked, CPo is primarily in a Tri-state
condition with small corrections occurring at the phase comparison rate.

1.8.1 Analog Lock Detect
When LD_OUT = 1, an analog lock detect status generated
from the phase detector is available on the LD output pin.
The lock detect output goes to high impedance when the
charge pump is inactive. It goes low when the charge pump
is active during a comparison cycle. The analog lock detect
signal output is an open drain configuration.
(Continued)
1.7 MICROWIRE 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 in from DATA on the rising edge of
CLOCK, into an 18-bit shift register. The serial data is
clocked in MSB first. The last bit of data decodes the internal
register address. On the rising edge of LE, the data stored in
the shift register is loaded into one of the two appropriate
latches based on the address bit. A complete programming
description is provided in Section 2.0.
1.8.2 Digital Lock Detect
When LD_OUT = 0, a digital lock detect status is available
on the LD output pin. The digital lock detect filter compares
the phase difference of the inputs from the phase detector to
a RC generated delay of approximately 15 ns. To enter the
locked state (LD = High), the phase error must be less than
the 15 ns RC delay for 5 consecutive reference cycles. Once
in lock, the RC delay is changed to approximately 30 ns. To
exit the locked state, the phase error must be greater than
the 30 ns RC delay. A flow chart of the digital lock detect filter
follows.
1.8 MULTI-FUNCTION OUTPUT
The LMX2346/7 LD pin is a multi-function output that can be
configured as a digital lock detect, an analog lock detect, as
well as monitor the output of the reference divider, or feedback divider circuits. The LD_OUT control word is used to
select the desired output function. When the PLL is in powerdown mode, the LD output is always set to a high impedance. A complete programming description of the multifunction output is provided in Section 2.2.4.

held at the load point. This allows the RF Prescaler, feedback divider, reference oscillator, and the reference divider
circuitry to reach proper bias levels. After a 1.5 µs delay, the
feedback and reference divider 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 in data
while in the power-down mode.

Power-down (Asynchronous)
The synchronous power-down function is gated by the
charge pump. When the device is configured for synchronous power-down, the device will enter the power-down
mode upon the completion of the next charge pump pulse
event.
The asynchronous power-down function is NOT gated by the
completion of a charge pump pulse event. When the device
is configured for asynchronous power-down, the part will go
into power down mode immediately.
A counter reset function is provided. When the PD control
word is programmed to Counter Reset, both the feedback
divider and the reference divider are disabled and held at
their load point. When the device is programmed to normal
operation, both the feedback divider and the reference divider are enabled (without a delay) and resume counting in
“close” alignment (The maximum error is one prescaler
cycle).
The LMX2346/7 are power controlled through logical control
of the CE pin in conjunction with programming of the PD
control word. A truth table is provided that describes how the
state of the CE pin and the PD control word set the operating
mode of the device. A complete programming description for
the PD control word is provided in Section 2.3.1.
When the device enters the power-down mode, the oscillator
buffer, RF prescaler, phase detector, and charge pump circuits are all disabled. The OSCIN, CPO, FIN, FINB, LD pins
are all forced to a high impedance state. The reference
divider and feedback divider circuits are disabled and held at
the load point during power-down. When the device is programmed to normal operation, the oscillator buffer, RF prescaler, phase detector, and charge pump circuits are all powered on. The feedback divider and the reference divider are

2.1 MICROWIRE INTERFACE
The MICROWIRE interface is comprised of an 18-bit shift register, and two control registers. The shift register consists of a 17-bit
DATA field and a 1-bit address (ADDR) field as shown below. When Latch Enable transitions HIGH, data stored in the shift register
is loaded into either the R or N register depending on the state of the ADDR bit. The data is loaded MSB first. The DATA field
assignments for the R and N registers are shown in Section 2.1.1.
