LMX2571: Using this as a dual LO

Part Number: LMX2571
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMX2572

Team, 

I have a customer investigating LMX2571, and wanted to know the following: they are hoping it can be used as a dual LO, providing an RF and an IF CW frequency output continuously that are used to drive a pair of mixers (1 ea). If not, then they are interested in an alternative that has similarly low power consumption. Do we have anything that can do this?

  • Carolus,
    The LMX2571 has a TX and RX output , so if they are both the same frequency, then you can do this.

    If you want different frequencies or differential outputs or better performance, also consider the LMX2572. It is a little higher current, but much better performance.

    Regards,
    Dean
