 DESCRIPTION
Ultralow Noise and Spurious 
0.37GHz to 5.7GHz Integer-N 
Synthesizer with Integrated VCO
The LTC
®
6946 is a high performance, low noise, 5.7GHz 
phase-locked loop (PLL) with a fully integrated VCO, 
including a reference divider, phase-frequency detector 
(PFD) with phase-lock indicator, ultralow noise charge 
pump, integer feedback divider, and VCO output divider.  
The charge pump contains selectable high and low voltage 
clamps useful for VCO monitoring.
The integrated low noise VCO uses no external components.  
It is internally calibrated to the correct output frequency 
with no external system support.
The part features a buffered, programmable VCO output 
divider with a range of 1 through 6, providing a wide 
frequency range.
