ADF4360-0BCPZRL

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 and functions on a 3.0 V to 3.6 V power supply. Key electrical specifications include a typical phase noise of −111 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset and a programmable output power level ranging from −13 dBm to −6.5 dBm.

Feature Summary

• Integrated integer-N synthesizer and VCO covering 2400 MHz to 2725 MHz
• Programmable dual-modulus prescaler options: 8/9, 16/17, or 32/33
• Adjustable output power levels from −13 dBm to −6.5 dBm in 3 dB steps
• Hardware and software power-down modes with low current consumption

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RL' against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm reel packaging details. Ensure the design accommodates the LFCSP package thermal requirements by connecting the exposed pad to AGND. Confirm that the application circuit supports the required 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply rails and 1.8 V logic compatibility for control signals.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed center frequency near 2600 MHz is required. The divide-by-2 feature allows generation of frequencies between 1200 MHz and 1360 MHz if needed. Consider the programmable prescaler settings (8/9, 16/17, 32/33) to optimize loop bandwidth and phase noise performance for specific channel spacing requirements.

Part Context

The ADF4360-0 belongs to the ADF4360 family of frequency synthesizers. It is distinct from other variants like the ADF4360-3 or ADF4360-4, which operate in different frequency bands. This specific part is optimized for the 2.4 GHz to 2.7 GHz range, making it suitable for applications requiring high-frequency synthesis with integrated VCO capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same family may exist but will likely have different frequency ranges. Verify that any substitute part supports the 2400 MHz to 2725 MHz output range and maintains similar phase noise and power consumption characteristics.
