171.875MHz to 18GHz RF / mmWave Wideband Synthesizer with Integrated VCO
171.875MHz to 18GHz RF / mmWave
Wideband Synthesizer with Integrated VCO 8V97003
Datasheet Description Features The 8V97003 is a high-performance mmWave wideband
Synthesizer / Phase Lock Loop (PLL) that generates output
frequencies up to 18GHz from an integrated Voltage Controlled
Oscillator (VCO) offering an octave of frequency tuning range.
The device also offers a high-performance 32-bit fractional
feedback divider and an output divider to allow users to fully
benefit from the wideband characteristics of the VCO. ▪ Output frequency range: 171.875MHz to 18GHz
▪ Ultra-low phase noise VCO • -60.6dBc integrated phase jitter (35fs rms jitter) from 20kHz
to 100MHz at 6GHz ▪ Figure of Merit: -236dBc/Hz
▪ Input reference frequency: • 10MHz to 1.6GHz (LVPECL, LVDS)
• 10MHz to 250MHz (LVCMOS) The device's figure of merit (FOM) of -236dBc/Hz and the
excellent VCO performance allow for very low phase noise and
RMS phase jitter. ▪ Fractional-N synthesizer and integer-N synthesizer
▪ 32-bit of fractional and modulus resolution
▪ Phase frequency detector (PFD) operation up to 500MHz The 8V97003 offers a very low output-to-output phase skew drift
of < 10° across all operating conditions and frequencies, reducing
radio path recalibration occurrences in beamforming applications,
such as 5G radio card massive MIMO systems. (Integer mode) or 250MHz (Fractional mode) ▪ Programmable RF output power levels
▪ RF output power < -80dBm when in MUTE
▪ Programmable input multiplier (MULT) to increase PFD The output drivers have programmable output power settings and
can deliver high single-ended output power up of +12dBm at …
