UMX-535-D16-G

Voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) are a type of frequency-generating devices with a wide range of applications. One such VCO is the UMX-535-D16-G, which is a low-phase-noise and low-power, digital divide-by-N/2, electromechanical VCO. No external components are required and the device can be used to generate clock frequencies of 0-1250MHz with fast startup time and low-phase noise.

The working principle of the UMX-535-D16-G is straightforward. It uses LC tank circuitry coupled with a divide-by-N/2 counter to produce a low-noise clock output. Incoming voltage, typically between 0V and 5V, is applied to the VCO input. The varying voltage will modulate the resonant frequency of the LC tank circuit, thus changing the output frequency of the VCO.To enable the adjustment of this frequency response, a wide frequency range is made available with an on-chip RSET resistor.

The UMX-535-D16-G is ideal for various applications such as clock distributions, frequency synthesis, and wireless communications. Its high performance also makes it suitable for use in a variety of frequency-sensitive environments such as in defense, aerospace, and cellular radio applications. It also has low power consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered and power-sensitive devices. The embedded digital divide-by-N/2 counter makes it easy to use and efficient, while the integrated on-chip RSET resistor provides precise frequency tuning.

The UMX-535-D16-G is a versatile and powerful VCO that is well-suited for many applications. It is capable of producing low-noise, low-power clock frequencies of 0-1250MHz with fast startup and low phase noise. Its low power consumption and ability to be integrated into various frequency-sensitive applications make it an attractive choice for designers and system engineers.
