The MC12052A is a super low power dual modulus prescaler used in phaselocked loop applications. Motorola's advanced Bipolar MOSAICTM V technology is utilized to achieve low power dissipation of 2.7 mW at a minimum supply voltage of 2.7 V. The MC12052A can be used with CMOS synthesizers requiring positive edges to trigger internal counters such as Motorola's MC145XXX series in a PLL to provide tuning signals up to 1.1 GHz in programmable frequency steps.
