NJ88C22
Frequency Synthesiser with resettable counters
DS2439 - 2.2
The NJ88C22 is a synthesiser circuit fabricated on the GPS CMOS process and is capable of achieving high sideband attenuation and low noise performance. It contains a reference oscillator, 11-bit programmable reference divider, digital and sample-and-hold comparators, 10-bit programmable ‘M’ counter, 7-bit programmable ‘A’ counter and the necessary control and latch circuitry for accepting and latching the input data. Data is presented serially under external control from a suitable microprocessor. Although 28 bits of data are initially required to program all counters, subsequent updating can be abbreviated to 17 bits, when only the ‘A’ and ‘M’ counters require changing.
