Intelligent Frequency Synthesizers

The PNP-1620-P22 is a complete low noise frequency syn- thesizer, comprised of VCO PLL loop Filter and data inter- face. The PNP family of RF signal sources is the worlds first truly configurable Frequency Synthesizer module. PNP technology offers the designer the ability to configure all of the synthesizers vital functions on the fly with simple strings of code that contain the commands of START, STOP, STEP, CHANNEL and REF. When new data is re- ceived, the PNP module optimizes its internal settings for best overall integrated phase noise, switching speed and spurious suppression, all automatically and in less than 100 S. Therefore, if the system requires 100 kHz steps in mode #1 and 1 MHz step size in mode #2, these smart syn- thesizers CAN make quick adjustments with amazing accu- racy, speed and performance.
