MB15F73UL
ASSP Dual Serial Input PLL Frequency
Synthesizer Datasheet
Description
The Cypress Semiconductor MB15F73UL is a serial input Phase Locked Loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer with a 2250 MHz and a
600-MHz prescalers. A 64/65 or a 128/129 for the 2250-MHz prescaler, and a 8/9 or a 16/17 for the 600 MHz prescaler can be selected
for the prescaler that enables pulse swallow operation.
The BiCMOS process is used, as a result a supply current is typically 3.2 mA at 2.7 V. The supply voltage range is from 2.4 V to 3.6
V. A refined charge pump supplies well-balanced output current with 1.5 mA and 6 mA selectable by serial date. The data format is
the same as the previous one MB15F03SL and MB15F73SP. Fast locking is achieved for adopting the new circuit.
