Description
The FS8308 is a serial data input, phase-locked loop IC with programmable input and ref-
erence frequency dividers. When combined with a VCO, this IC becomes the core of a
very low power frequency synthesizer well-suited for mobile communication applications,
e.x. paging systems and family radio service (FRS). There are some features implemented
in this IC, including an 18-bit programmable input frequency divider, a terminal for refer-
ence oscillator buffer output, as well as stand-by control through programming, and etc.
Details are listed in the following.
Features
Up to 40 MHz external crystal oscillator reference frequency under normal condition
Low current consumption (I
DD,total typically 1.2 mA at fFIN = 500 MHz and VDD1 = 1.0
V)
With Schmitt trigger added for noise-immune programming input
18-bit programmable input frequency divider (including a
÷ 64/65 prescaler) with
divide ratio range from 4032 to 262143
13-bit programmable reference frequency divider (including a
÷ 8 prescaler) with
divide ratio range from 40 to 65528
Optional lock detector output (LD, f
R/2, fV/2)
Charge pump output for passive low-pass filter
Wide tuning range of charge pump output for external VCO (V
SS+0.5 to VDD2-0.5)
Switchover terminal for constant of loop filter or general open drain output
Reference oscillator buffer output
Programmable stand-by control
TSSOP 16L package (0.65mm pitch)
Applications
Pager
Family radio service (FRS)
Wireless communication system
