The MC12206 is a 2.0GHz Bipolar monolithic serial input phase locked loop (PLL) synthesizer with pulseswallow function. It is designed to provide the high frequency local oscillator signal of an RF transceiver in handheld communication applications. Motorola's advanced Bipolar MOSAICTM V technology is utilized for low power operation at a minimum supply voltage of 2.7V. The device is designed for operation over 2.7 to 5.5V supply range for input frequencies up to 2.0GHz with a typical current drain of 7.4mA. The low power consumption makes the MC12206 ideal for handheld battery operated applications such as cellular or cordless telephones, wireless LAN or personal communication services. A dual modulus prescaler is integrated to provide either a 64/65 or 128/129 divide ratio. For additional applications information, two InterActiveApNoteTM documents containing software (based on a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet) and an Application Note are available.
