PLL Synthesizers & VCOs


With synthesizer designs encompassing Integer-N, Fractional-N, and Delta-Sigma Fractional-N. Kaben can deliver the right drop-in for any SoC requirement.

The cells are tailored for applications that require low power consumption, excellent phase noise, fine step size, low spurious, and fast switching speeds.

The ∆∑ synthesizer cells operate using crystal frequencies up to 50 MHz and generate outputs from 400 to 6000 MHz with step sizes less than 25 Hz. The low phase noise of -93 dBc/Hz at 2 kHz offset for a 6 GHz output (when using a 20 MHz reference) and the low spurious response of -80 dBc means these cells can be used in WiMAX 802.16a systems.

The company also produces narrow band VCO designs that are complementary to the synthesizers. These VCOs and the Delta-Sigma Fractional-N synthesizers are integrated to offer Local Oscillators targeted for: WiMAX 802.16, WLAN (Wi-Fi) 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11h, and 802.11n, Bluetooth, Software Defined Radios (SDR), Multi-mode Radios, and Cable Modem products.
