LTC6946IYFD-3#PBF – LINEAR TECH

The Linear Technology LTC6946IYFD-3#PBF is a high-performance, low-noise integer-N synthesizer designed for demanding frequency generation applications. It integrates a low-noise phase-locked loop (PLL) core with a fully integrated VCO, offering excellent phase noise performance across its wide tuning range. This specific variant is optimized for a narrow band application. Its key advantage lies in its integrated VCO, which eliminates the need for external VCO selection and optimization, simplifying the design process. It features a typical output voltage swing of 1Vpp and can deliver an output current of up to 50mA. Housed in a 24-lead 4mm x 4mm QFN (Surface Mount Device) package, the LTC6946IYFD-3#PBF operates reliably across a temperature range of –40°C to 85°C. Common use cases include local oscillators for high-performance radios, test and measurement equipment, and clock generation in high-speed data converters.
