• Very fast switching speed (below 100 s)
• Low phase noise -91 dBc/Hz @ 1800 MHz measured inside the loop bandwidth

Spur-Free, 2.1 GHz Dual Fractional-N Frequency Synthesizer

The SKY72300-362 direct digital modulation synthesizer is a key building block for high-performance radio system designs that require ultra-fine frequency resolution, fast switching speed, and low phase-noise performance. The fine step size of less than 100 Hz allows this synthesizer to be used in very narrowband wireless applications.

With proper temperature sensing or through control channels, the synthesizer's fine step size of SKY72300-362 can compensate for crystal oscillator or IF filter drift.

The SKY72300-362 is programmable through a three-wire, high-speed serial interface. A combination of large bandwidth, fine resolution, and the serial interface allows for a direct frequency modulation of the VCO. This capability of SKY72300-362 eliminates the need for I/Q DACs, quadrature upconverters, and IF filters from the transmitter portion of the radio system.NEW!
