ADF4106SRUZ-EP-R7

Overview

The ADF4106SRUZ-EP-R7 is an Enhanced Product (EP) integer-N PLL frequency synthesizer from Analog Devices, designed for defense and aerospace applications. It operates with a 6.0 GHz RF input bandwidth and supports a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.3 V. The device features a separate charge pump supply (VP) allowing extended tuning voltage up to 5.5 V in 3 V systems. Key electrical parameters include a programmable dual-modulus prescaler (8/9, 16/17, 32/33, 64/65), programmable charge pump currents, and a 3-wire serial interface. It functions within a military temperature range of −55°C to +125°C and is housed in a 16-lead TSSOP package.

Feature Summary

• Military temperature range operation from −55°C to +125°C
• 6.0 GHz maximum RF input frequency with 2.7 V to 3.3 V power supply
• Separate charge pump supply (VP) enables extended tuning voltage up to 5.5 V
• Programmable dual-modulus prescaler options: 8/9, 16/17, 32/33, 64/65

Applications

• Broadband wireless access systems
• Satellite communication systems
• Defense and aerospace instrumentation
• Wireless LAN infrastructure
• Base stations for wireless radios

Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix -R7 indicates reel packaging for the 16-lead TSSOP variant. Confirm the SRUZ designation corresponds to the specific pinout and RoHS compliance status defined in the manufacturer's ordering guide. Ensure the enhanced product qualification data is available if required for the specific application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when military-grade temperature stability (-55°C to +125°C) is required alongside high-frequency synthesis up to 6 GHz. The separate VP supply pin allows for higher VCO tuning voltages without increasing the main logic supply. Verify that the external loop filter and VCO are compatible with the programmable charge pump current settings and the specified reference input sensitivity.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ADF4106-EP Enhanced Product family, specifically tailored for rugged environments. It shares core architecture with the standard ADF4106 but includes controlled manufacturing baselines, single assembly/fabrication sites, and product change notifications. The -R7 suffix denotes tape and reel packaging, while SRUZ identifies the 16-lead TSSOP form factor.

Replacement Considerations

The ADF4106SRU-EP (tube packaging) is a direct functional equivalent with different packing. Standard commercial versions like ADF4106BRUZ lack the EP military qualification and extended temperature range. No other cross-model substitutes are confirmed in the provided documentation.
