Application Fields

Clock generators, PLLs and frequency synthesizers such as the 5P49V5901B037NLGI8 are used in a variety of applications, including medical, industrial and military. Medical applications include electrocardiograph (ECG) machines, ultrasound scanners and hemodialysis machines. Industrial applications can include servo drives, motion controllers and robotics. Military applications involve radar systems, tactical radios and navigation.

Working Principle

Clock generators, PLLs and frequency synthesizers operate through the use of voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs). A VCO is an electronic oscillator whose output frequency can be easily changed by varying the electrical voltage on its control input. This is accomplished by using a phase-locked loop (PLL), which is a type of feedback loop that allows for synchronization of an oscillator to a given reference signal. The 5P49V5901B037NLGI8 has an integrated PLL that is used to lock the frequency of the output to the reference signal. The device also includes several useful features, such as a programmable output frequency range and an integrated low noise charge pump.

Benefits

Clock generators, PLLs and frequency synthesizers offer several benefits over traditional oscillators. The most notable benefit is that they can be programmed to produce a wide range of output frequencies. This allows them to be used in a variety of applications where a variety of frequencies are required. They are also generally much less expensive than traditional oscillators, which makes them a cost-effective option for many applications. Furthermore, they have a low power consumption requirement, which helps to reduce power consumption in battery powered devices.

Conclusion

The 5P49V5901B037NLGI8 clock generator, PLL and frequency synthesizer from Maxim Integrated is an ideal solution for many different applications due to its low power consumption, pin programmability, wide range of output frequencies and economical 16-pin QFN package. It is suitable for use in a variety of medical, industrial and military applications, and provides all of the benefits of traditional oscillators without the high cost.
