8.2 VCO1, VCO2, Voltage Controlled Oscillator Pins
The VCO1 and VCO2 pins connect a parallel combination of a capacitor and an inductor to the AMIS-52150 internal voltage controlled
oscillator (VCO). The external LC (parallel inductor and capacitor) circuit sets the frequency of the internal VCO. The VCO frequency
must be set to twice the value of the desired TX or RX frequency. Typical components for the tuning of the VCO at 402MHz are shown
in Figure 4. The range of the VCO frequency is from 600MHz to 1536MHz.
The voltage on these pins can be used to determine proper operation of the PLL/VCO circuits. For further details, refer to the
application note titled “First Time Users Guide to working with the Transceiver IC”.
