The General Use PLL is an adaptable frequency synthesizer designed to support a wide range of applications. With integer-N divisions capable of handling any division from 1 to 32 or 1 to 64 for lower frequencies, this PLL is exceptionally versatile. The design focuses on delivering low noise and reduced spurs, enhancing signal quality across different operating conditions. Fast lock times and auto-calibration features further ensure efficient and reliable performance.
The PLL's frequency range spans from 0.5 to 4.0 GHz, optimized for use in diverse applications, from wireless communication to high-speed digital processing. It maintains performance even at high frequencies, backed by a current consumption of just 4mA at 400 MHz, showcasing its energy-efficient operation. This efficiency makes the PLL an ideal choice for portable electronic applications requiring high precision and low power usage.
Availability in TSMC's 16FSC and 28HPC process nodes reflects its compatibility with state-of-the-art semiconductor technologies. This flexibility allows easy integration into existing systems or as part of new product designs. By offering quick development and reliable performance, this PLL serves as a crucial component in modern electronics requiring stable frequency generation.
