GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The UMA1016xT is a low power synthesizer for radio communications. Manufactured in bipolar technology, it is designed for a 70 to 1000 kHz channel spacing in the 500 to 1000 MHz band. The channel is programmed via a 3-wire serial bus. The internal dual register architecture allows a single synthesizer to be used in TDD systems. Fast switching between transmit and receive frequencies is achieved without the need for bus overhead. It also incorporates a sensitive, low power RF divider and a dead-zone-eliminated 3-state phase comparator. A power-down mode enables the circuit to be idled.

FEATURES
• RF input frequencies to 1 GHz
