LMX2430SLEX/NOPB

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Overview

The LMX2430SLEX/NOPB is a dual high-frequency synthesizer from the PLLatinum family, manufactured by Texas Instruments. It integrates two independent Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) within a single package to support complex RF personal communication systems. The device features a maximum input frequency of 3 GHz and an output frequency range extending up to 3 GHz. It operates on a supply voltage between 2.5 V and 3.6 V with a typical operating current of 3.3 mA. The component is housed in a 20-ULGA package and supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure the ULGA package variant matches the target PCB footprint requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest datasheet revision notes before finalizing procurement orders.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Selection Notes

Select this component when dual synthesizers are required within a compact form factor for RF personal communications. Compare performance metrics such as phase noise and spurious emissions against other PLLatinum series devices like the LMX2485 or LMX2430TM variants. Evaluate power supply constraints to ensure the 2.5 V to 3.6 V operating range aligns with the system design.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments PLLatinum family of frequency synthesizers. It shares architectural similarities with other dual-PLL devices in the series but differs in package type and specific interface configurations. The SLEX suffix indicates a specific tape-and-reel packaging option distinct from tube-packaged equivalents.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Replacement Considerations

Potential substitutes include the LMX2430TM/NOPB for TSSOP-20 package compatibility or the LMX2485ESQ/NOPB for WQFN-24 integration. Verify functional equivalence regarding input/output frequencies and control interfaces before substitution.
