10 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

10.1 Application Information

The LMX2430 family of devices can be used in a broad class of applications. LMX2430x devices have very low current consumption and are well-suited for many lower power applications. Because these devices have two PLLs, they can be used to generate two distinct frequencies. However, it is a perfectly valid thing to only use one of the PLLs and power down the other side. When only one side is used, be sure to power the other side down, but do NOT disconnect the power pins for the unused side as they are shared across several internal blocks. When the unused side is powered down, it draws no current, and the counters and charge pump are not running or generating any noise and spurs. Figure 33 generally applies to most applications.

10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

The loop filter design is key and involves trade-offs between lock time, phase noise, and spurs. The TI website has references and design and simulation tools that can be used to design the loop filter and simulate the performance.
