PLL synthesizer for RF local oscillator chains
The Texas Instruments TRF2056PW is a PLL frequency synthesizer — a phase-locked loop that generates a stable, programmable output frequency from a reference clock. It sits in the signal chain where a local oscillator (LO) needs to be tuned across a band, such as in RF up/down converters, base station transceivers, or test equipment.
Bulk packaging and prototype fit
Shipped in bulk — loose tubes or trays rather than tape-and-reel. This suits prototype builds, lab evaluation, and low-volume production where a reel quantity would overrun the BOM. For high-volume pick-and-place, confirm the tube-to-reel transfer with your assembler; bulk parts may need manual loading or a tube feeder.
The TRF2056PW is an active Texas Instruments device.
