GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The UMA1015AM is a low-power dual frequency
synthesizer for radio communications which operates in
the 50 to 1100 MHz frequency range. Each synthesizer
consists of a fully programmable main divider, a phase and
frequency detector and a charge pump. There is a fully
programmable reference divider common to both
synthesizers which operates up to 35 MHz.
The device is programmed via a 3-wire serial bus which
operates up to 10 MHz. The charge pump currents (gains)
are fixed by an external resistance at pin 20 (I
SET
).
The BiCMOS device is designed to operate from 2.7 V
(3 NiCd cells) to 5.5 V at low current. Digital supplies V
DD1
and V
DD2
must be at the same potential. The charge pump
supply (V
CC
) can be provided by an external source or
on-chip voltage doubler. V
CC
must be equal to or higher
than V
DD1
.
Each synthesizer can be powered-down independently via
the serial bus to save current. It is also possible to
power-down the device via the HPD input (pin 5).
