8.1 Overview
The LMX2581 is a synthesizer, consisting of a reference input and R divider, phase detector and charge pump,
VCO and high frequency fractional (N) divider, and two programmable output buffers. The device requires
external components for the loop filter and output buffers, which are application dependent.
Based on the oscillator input frequency (fOSC), PLL R divider value (PLL_R), PLL N Divider Value (PLL_N),
Fractional Numerator (PLL_NUM), Fractional Denominator (PLL_DEN), and VCO divider value (VCO_DIV), the
output frequency of the LMX2581 (fOUT) can be determined as follows:
fOUT = fOSC x OSC_2X / PLL_R x (PLL_N + PLL_NUM / PLL_DEN) / VCO_DIV
