Description
The MLS9036-00065 synthesizer design integrates a high perfor-
mance buffered VCO, PLL circuit and discrete loop filter in a
surface mount package. The SMT packaging provides electrical
shielding, easy PCB assembly and repeatable performance. The
synthesizer is designed for use in CDMA base stations and is
optimised for 70 MHz IF at the cellular RX frequency with 15 kHz
step size and low phase noise.
M/A-COM synthesizers are manufactured in an ISO 9001 certi-
fied facility, incorporating surface mount assem bly and automated
electrical testing. This ensures consistent electrical performance
and quality over volume production quantities.
Electrical Specifications1, TA = +25°C, VCC = +5V, ∆∆F = 15 kHz, FR = 15 MHz (unless otherwise stated)
1. All s pecification limits are i ndicated values and apply over FOUT and
for 50Ω load im pedance.
2. Programming control is 3 wir e serial CMOS or TTL levels , in accor-
dance wit h National Semiconductor LMX 1511.
3. Output power window incl udes variation over oper ating temper ature
range (TOP) -40°C to +85°C and out put frequency range (F OUT).
4. See plot f or typical phase noise at other frequency offs ets.

1. Exceeding thes e limits may cause permanent damage.
2. Stati c sensitive, observe appropriate handling precautions.
3. An external series resistor and bypas s capacitor will allow opera-
tion at higher supply voltage and will improve power supply decou-
pling and noise suppression.
Environmental Specifications
Devices are designed to function over the operating temperature
range (TOP) of -40°C to +85°C and after exposure to the shock,
vibration, thermal shock and moisture conditions typically encoun-
tered in base station and other infrastructure environments.

Ordering Information
Synthesizers are available in either tape and reel or tube packaging.
To order devices in tape and reel requires the suffix TR to be
added to the part number, i.e. MLS9036-00065TR. Quantity 500
per 13 inch reel, see Application Note M2030.
