This IC is suitable also for clock generation and synchronization up to 150 MHz (typical), for operation are necessary few external components in fact it includes:
- a phase detector and all the necessary components for a complete PLL circuit
- a VCO with varicap diode
- two buffers for RF outputs
- a x2 divider on one of the two RF outputs
So by connecting only a clock and a divider a full synthesizer is already made
