ADF4360-0BCP

Overview

The ADF4360-0 is a fully integrated integer-N synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) designed for a center frequency of 2600 MHz. It operates within an output frequency range of 2400 MHz to 2725 MHz, with a divide-by-2 option providing 1200 MHz to 1360 MHz. The device supports a 3-wire serial interface, features programmable dual-modulus prescalers (16/17 or 32/33), and includes analog and digital lock detect functions. It operates on a 3.0 V to 3.6 V power supply with 1.8 V logic compatibility.

Feature Summary

• Integrated integer-N synthesizer and VCO covering 2400 MHz to 2725 MHz
• Programmable dual-modulus prescaler options: 16/17 and 32/33
• Low phase noise performance: -111 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset
• Hardware and software power-down modes with low sleep current

Applications

• Wireless handsets (DECT, GSM, PCS, DCS, WCDMA)
• Test equipment local oscillators
• Wireless LANs
• CATV equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure the design accounts for the exposed pad connection to AGND as required by the CSP outline dimensions. Confirm that the reference input sensitivity matches the system clock source capabilities.

Selection Notes

Select the appropriate prescaler setting based on the desired division ratio and loop bandwidth requirements. Configure the charge pump current via the RSET resistor to optimize phase noise and spurious performance. Ensure the VCO core power level is set according to the application's power consumption constraints while maintaining adequate output power levels.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ADF4360 family of frequency synthesizers. It is specifically optimized for the 2.4 GHz to 2.7 GHz band, distinguishing it from other variants in the series that may target different frequency ranges such as 1.2 GHz to 1.4 GHz or higher frequencies up to 3.6 GHz.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other members of the ADF4360 family, such as the ADF4360-1, ADF4360-2, ADF4360-3, ADF4360-4, ADF4360-5, and ADF4360-6, which offer different output frequency ranges but share similar control interfaces and pinouts.
