RF2506
VHF/UHF VCO/HIGH-ISOLATION BUFFER AMPLIFIER

Typical Applications
* Low Voltage * Wireless LANs * IF LO for 2.45GHz ISM Band Systems
* Wireless Local Loop * Digital Cordless Phones
Product Description
The RF2506 is an integrated oscillator and buffer amplifier chain designed to achieve low sensitivity to fluctuations in load impedance and power supply noise, while maintaining superior phase noise performance. The IC offers great flexibility, yet is easy to use. This product was designed for use in applications with low supply voltages. It has a power-down feature and is designed to operate from 10MHz to 1000MHz with the help of an external resonator. Frequency control is achieved with an external varactor diode. The IC's ease of use, reduced load pulling, small size, and low cost make it an ideal LO (Local Oscillator) for wireless applications in the VHF/UHF range. The RF2506 was designed to operate with the 2.4GHz chipset; specifically with the IF portion of the RF2518 PLL/synthesizer. Optimum Technology Matching(R) Applied

Interface Schematic
Power supply connection for the VCO. This pin should be well bypassed close to the package with a capacitor suitable for the frequency of operation as well as a capacitor to minimize low frequency noise from the voltage supply. The ground side of the capacitors should connect immediately to ground plane. Ground connection for the VCO. Keep traces physically short and con- See pin 2. nect immediately to ground plane for best performance. In order to minimize load pulling, it is recommended that pin 2 has a different return path to ground than pin 6 (i.e., separate vias to a common ground plane). Feedback output to resonant circuit. A Colpitts oscillator is formed by See pin 4. placing a capacitor from this pin to pin 4 and from this pin to ground. A DC blocking capacitor, suitable for the frequency of operation, should be used if the external circuitry has DC present or presents a DC path to ground. See the application schematic of this data sheet for design details. Tank circuit input. A resonant circuit is placed from this pin to ground. To Bias Ckts. The capacitive side is tapped to the FDBK point and the inductive side includes a varactor for voltage tuning to provide the VCO function. A DC blocking capacitor, suitable for the frequency of operation, should be used if the external circuitry has DC present or presents a DC path VTUNE to ground. See the application schematic of this data sheet for design FDBK details.

RF output pin. This is an open-collector output and must be biased externally. A shunt bias/matching inductor to VCC and a series blocking/ matching capacitor are recommended. See Application Example Schematic. Ground connection for the buffer amplifiers. Keep traces physically short and connect immediately to ground plane for best performance. In order to minimize load pulling, it is recommended that pin 2 has a different return path to ground than pin 6 (i.e., separate vias to a common ground plane). Power supply connection for the buffer amplifiers. This pin should be well bypassed close to the package with a capacitor suitable for the frequency of operation. The ground side of the capacitor should connect immediately to ground plane. Power Down pin for the VCO and buffer amplifiers. A logic "low" (0.0 to 0.7V) turns the entire device off and supply current drops to less than 1A. A logic "high" (3.0V) turns the device on. Note that the voltage on this pin should never exceed 5.5VDC.
