Datasheet Summary
Low Power Voltage Controlled Oscillator
The MC12148 requires an external parallel tank circuit consisting of the inductor (L) and capacitor (C). A varactor diode may be incorporated into the tank circuit to provide a voltage variable input for the oscillator (VCO). This device may also be used in many other applications requiring a fixed frequency clock.
The MC12148 is ideal in applications requiring a local oscillator. Systems include electronic test equipment and digital high- speed telemunications.
The MC12148 is based on the VCO circuit topology of the MC1648. The MC12148 has been realized utilizing Motorola’s MOSAIC III advanced bipolar process technology which results in a design...
