The HFA3524 contains a dual modulus prescaler. A 32/33 or 64/65 prescaler can be selected for the RF synthesizer and a 8/9 or a 16/17 prescaler can be selected for the IF synthesizer. Using a digital phase locked loop technique, the HFA3524 can generate a very stable, low noise signal for the RF and IF local oscillator. Serial data is transferred into the HFA3524 via a three wire interface (Data, Enable, Clock). Supply voltage can range from 2.7V to 5.5V. The HFA3524 features very low current consumption of 13mA at 3V.
