LMX2531LQE3010E/NOPB

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Overview

The LMX2531LQE3010E/NOPB is a high-performance frequency synthesizer system from Texas Instruments, belonging to the LMX2531 series. It operates within an output frequency range of 553 MHz to 3.132 GHz and requires a supply voltage between 2.8 V and 3.2 V. The device draws 32 mA of operating current and functions reliably across temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. Housed in a compact 36-WQFN package with an exposed pad, it integrates a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) for efficient RF signal generation.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official documentation, as variations like LQE may indicate specific binning or testing criteria not always detailed in general summaries. Confirm moisture sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profiles prior to assembly. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts designed for the standard WQFN-36 footprint.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide tuning range up to 3.132 GHz is required alongside low power consumption. The integrated VCO simplifies design complexity compared to discrete solutions. Verify that the 36-pin form factor fits the mechanical constraints of the target application board.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Part Context

This part belongs to the LMX2531 family of PLL frequency synthesizers. Variants such as LMX2531LQ1570E/NOPB and LMX2531LQ3010E/NOPB share similar electrical characteristics but may differ in factory programming or specific performance bins. The LMX2531 series is designed for wireless and RF applications requiring stable clock sources.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other LMX2531 variants like LMX2531LQ3010E/NOPB if pin-to-pin compatibility and identical electrical specs are confirmed. Always cross-reference datasheets to ensure functional equivalence before swapping.
