ADF4150HVBCPZ-RL7

Overview

The ADF4150HVBCPZ-RL7 is a high voltage fractional-N and integer-N PLL synthesizer manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It features an integrated charge pump capable of operating with a supply voltage (VP) ranging from 6 V to 30 V, enabling direct drive of wideband VCOs without external operational amplifiers. The device supports RF input frequencies up to 3.0 GHz and includes programmable divide-by-1/-2/-4/-8/-16 outputs for flexible frequency generation. It operates on a 3.0 V to 3.6 V logic supply and utilizes a 3-wire serial interface for register control.

Feature Summary

• Integrated high voltage charge pump supporting VP supplies from 6 V to 30 V
• Fractional-N and Integer-N synthesis modes with programmable dual-modulus prescaler
• RF input frequency range up to 3.0 GHz with programmable output dividers
• Programmable RF output power levels ranging from -4 dBm to +5 dBm

Applications

• Wireless infrastructure systems
• Microwave point-to-point and point-to-multipoint radios
• VSAT radio communications
• Private land mobile radio equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix RL7 corresponds to the reel packaging configuration required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the LFCSP-32 package thermal requirements are met within the intended operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Ensure the design accounts for the exposed pad connection to ground as specified in the pinout documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when application requirements demand high tuning voltages exceeding standard 3.3 V or 5 V limits, eliminating the need for active loop filters. Consider the programmable charge pump currents and boost mode functionality if rapid frequency hopping or wide tuning ranges are necessary. Verify that the reference input sensitivity and PFD frequency options align with the available clock sources.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ADF4150HV series of high voltage PLL synthesizers. The BC designation indicates the specific lead-free tape and reel packaging variant. It is designed to simplify designs requiring high voltage VCO tuning by integrating the charge pump directly onto the silicon die, reducing component count and improving phase noise performance compared to active filter topologies.
