ADF4106SRU-EP-R7

Overview

The ADF4106SRU-EP-R7 is an enhanced product PLL frequency synthesizer designed for defense and aerospace applications under AQEC standards. It operates within a military temperature range of −55°C to +125°C and features a 6.0 GHz bandwidth with a 2.7 V to 3.3 V power supply. The device integrates a low-noise digital phase frequency detector, precision charge pump, programmable reference divider, and dual-modulus prescaler (8/9, 16/17, 32/33, 64/65). Packaged in a 16-lead TSSOP, it supports hardware and software power-down modes and includes analog/digital lock detect capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Military temperature range: −55°C to +125°C
• AQEC qualification for defense and aerospace use
• Controlled manufacturing baseline with single assembly/test and fabrication sites
• Programmable dual-modulus prescaler and charge pump currents

Applications

• Broadband wireless access
• Satellite systems
• Instrumentation
• Wireless LANS
• Base stations for wireless radios

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix R7 indicates reel packaging when sourcing this component. Confirm that the EP designation ensures adherence to the controlled manufacturing baseline required for AQEC compliance. Check for available qualification data from Analog Devices if strict documentation is mandated by the procurement specification.

Selection Notes

Select the ADF4106SRU-EP-R7 when military-grade thermal stability and enhanced product reliability are required. Ensure the system design accommodates the 16-lead TSSOP footprint. Verify that the external VCO tuning voltage requirements align with the separate VP supply capability, which allows extended tuning ranges up to 5.5 V even in 3 V systems.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ADF4106-EP family, which is the enhanced version of the standard ADF4106. While the standard ADF4106 typically operates from −40°C to +85°C, the EP variant extends this to −55°C to +125°C. The SRU-EP-R7 specifically denotes the S-version silicon, RU-16 package, and reel tape-and-reel shipping format.

Replacement Considerations

The ADF4106SRUZ-EP-R7 serves as a direct replacement with identical electrical specifications but differs only in the tube packaging option instead of the reel.
