7151M-50LFT Application Field and Working Principle

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers

The 7151M-50LFT is a high-performance frequency translator family from IDT. With the capability to convert frequencies from 50MHz to 350MHz, the 7151M-50LFT is a versatile solution for any application requiring frequencies lower than its cut-off range. It is also able to handle a wide range of input voltages and input sensitivities.

The 7151M-50LFT is most commonly utilized in a wide range of applications, but is primarily used as a clock generator, PLL, and frequency synthesizer. A clock generator is a device that creates a single, periodic electronic signal at a fixed interval of time, while a PLL (phase-locked loop) is a combination of different components that maintain a constant frequency output, even when its input frequency or phase is changed. Lastly, a frequency synthesizer is a system that generates a set of output frequencies from a single input frequency.

Principles of Operation

The 7151M-50LFT operates using the principles of frequency multiplication/division. Frequency multiplication multiplies a low-frequency input signal into a higher frequency, while frequency division does the opposite. This capability makes the 7151M-50LFT ideal for applications that require higher frequencies than its cut-off range.

The core of the 7151M-50LFT is a differential-feedback multiplier (DFM) circuit. A DFM is an integrated circuit device that performs frequency multiplication or division by two or more. It operates by feeding a single input frequency back to the output of the multiplier in order to multiply the frequency. It also has a dividing capability, which allows it to divide an input frequency by two or more as well.

The 7151M-50LFT is further equipped with a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), a frequency-controlled oscillator (FCO), and a phase-locked loop (PLL). A VCO is an oscillator whose oscillation frequency is varied over a wide range by an applied voltage, while an FCO is an oscillator whose frequency is determined by an external control voltage. Lastly, a PLL is a combination of different components, such as a variable oscillator, a phase detector, and a feedback loop, that is used to maintain a constant frequency output, even when the input frequency or phase is changed.

The 7151M-50LFT also features differential outputs, which enable it to provide a balanced output signal with improved noise immunity and reduced interference. This makes it ideal for applications with extremely high performance requirements, such as timing and communication applications.

Conclusion

The 7151M-50LFT is a high-performance frequency translator family from IDT. It is commonly used as a clock generator, PLL and frequency synthesizer, and operates using the principles of frequency multiplication and division. The 7151M-50LFT is further equipped with a VCO, FCO, and PLL, and is also capable of providing a differential output for improved noise immunity and reduced interference.
