TI introduces industry’s lowest power wideband RF synthesizer

June 18, 2015

DALLAS (June 18, 2015) – Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today introduced the industry’s lowest power wideband radio frequency (RF) synthesizer. Covering up to 1.34 GHz, the LMX2571 integrates an ultra-low-noise PLLatinum™ fractional-N phase-locked loop (PLL) with a multicore voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), enabling low phase noise and spurs at only 39 mA (128 mW). The LMX2571 enhances radio sensitivity and dynamic range for applications such as low-power wireless communication, handheld oscilloscopes and signal analyzers. An integrated frequency modulator enables the user to directly modulate the carrier to produce analog frequency modulation (FM) or frequency-shift-keying ( … Read More → "TI introduces industry’s lowest power wideband RF synthesizer"
