ADF4360-0BCPZRL7

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
• Low phase noise performance: -111 dBc/Hz typ at 100 kHz offset
• Programmable output power levels in 3 dB steps (-13 dBm to -6.5 dBm)

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RL7' against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to confirm reel packaging quantities and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the LFCSP-24 package outline dimensions provided in the datasheet for PCB footprint design.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a fixed center frequency near 2600 MHz. Consider the divide-by-2 feature if a 1200 MHz to 1360 MHz output is required. Ensure the reference input sensitivity matches the available clock source, as it accepts CMOS levels with AC coupling.

Part Context

The ADF4360-0 belongs to the ADF4360 family of frequency synthesizers. It is distinct from other variants like the ADF4360-8, which covers lower frequency ranges (65 MHz to 400 MHz). This specific model is optimized for high-frequency wireless communication bands.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 2400–2725 MHz output range and LFCSP-24 package. Verify pinout compatibility, specifically the exposed pad connection to AGND and the 3-wire serial interface timing requirements.
