PNP-1090-P22

The PNP-1090-P22 is a complete low noise frequency synthesizer, comprised of VCO, PLL, loop filter and data interface. The PNP family of RF signal sources is the world's first truly configurable frequency synthesizer module. PNP technology offers the designer the ability to configure all of the synthesizer's vital functions 'on the fly' with simple strings of code that contain the commands of START, STOP, STEP, CHANNEL and REF. When new data is received, the PNP module optimizes its internal settings for best overall integrated phase noise, switching speed and spurious suppression, all automatically and in less than 100 µS. Therefore, if the system requires 100 kHz steps in mode #1 and 1 MHz step size in mode #2, these smart synthesizers can make quick adjustments with amazing accuracy, speed and performance.

Control of the internal registers is accomplished through a serial data interface. Many industry standard protocols are supported, including I²C, SPI, and MICROWIRE Serial Interfaces. The PNP-1090-P22 is powered from +3V and +12.5V supplies delivering +7 dBm of RF output power.
