ADF4106BCP-REEL7

Overview

The ADF4106BCP-REEL7 is a PLL frequency synthesizer from Analog Devices Inc., manufactured in the B version with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It features a 6.0 GHz bandwidth, supporting RF input frequencies from 0.5 GHz to 6.0 GHz with sensitivity ranging from -10 dBm to 0 dBm. The device operates on a 2.7 V to 3.3 V power supply (AVDD/DVDD) and utilizes a separate charge pump supply (VP) up to 5.5 V. Key electrical parameters include a programmable dual-modulus prescaler (8/9, 16/17, 32/33, 64/65), a maximum phase detector frequency of 104 MHz, and a typical current draw of 9.0 mA at 3 V.

Feature Summary

• 6.0 GHz bandwidth with integrated low noise digital phase frequency detector
• Programmable dual-modulus prescaler options: 8/9, 16/17, 32/33, or 64/65
• Separate charge pump supply (VP) allows extended tuning voltage up to 5.5 V in 3 V systems
• Analog and digital lock detect capabilities with programmable antibacklash pulse width

Applications

• Broadband wireless access systems
• Satellite communication systems
• Instrumentation equipment
• Wireless LANs
• Base stations for wireless radios

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix REEL7 corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format as specified in the manufacturer's ordering guide. Confirm the B version designation ensures compliance with the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Ensure the LFCSP package type matches the design requirements for thermal management and PCB layout.

Selection Notes

Select this component when implementing local oscillators for up-conversion and down-conversion sections in wireless receivers and transmitters. The high bandwidth allows elimination of frequency doublers in many high-frequency systems. Ensure external loop filter and VCO selection align with the programmable charge pump currents and reference divider capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ADF4106 series of PLL frequency synthesizers. It is designed to simplify system architecture by integrating a precision charge pump, programmable counters, and a dual-modulus prescaler into a single chip. The device supports 3-wire serial interface control for configuration of various operational parameters.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include ADF4106BCPZ and ADF4106BCPZ-R7. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
