LMK05318: Is BAW VCO frequency fixed?

Part Number: LMK05318

Hi team,

I'm confused with BAW resonant VCO in LMK05318. Is the fvco1, the output frequency of VCO1, tunable by equation (2) or fixed by 2.5GHz with 50ppm?

Thanks,

  • Hello Minkyung,

    VCO1 has a fixed frequency of 2.5 GHz. If the device is run in free-run mode, then equation 2 is used to set the VCO1 frequency to met free-run conditions (as stated below).

    For a explanation on how free-run mode operates, please look at section 9.3.8.2 in the LMK05318 data sheet. I have included a snippet of the section below.

    Regards,
