ADF4360-1BCP

Overview

The ADF4360-1BCP is an integrated integer-N frequency synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) designed for a center frequency of 2250 MHz. It operates within a VCO output frequency range of 2050 MHz to 2450 MHz, with a divide-by-2 option providing 1025 MHz to 1225 MHz. The device supports a power supply from 3.0 V to 3.6 V and features programmable dual-modulus prescalers (8/9, 16/17, 32/33). Key electrical parameters include a typical phase noise of -110 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset and an output power level adjustable between -13 dBm and -6 dBm.

Feature Summary

• Integrated Integer-N Synthesizer and VCO covering 2050 MHz to 2450 MHz
• Programmable Dual-Modulus Prescaler options: 8/9, 16/17, and 32/33
• Low Phase Noise Performance: -110 dBc/Hz typ at 100 kHz offset
• 3-Wire Serial Interface with Analog and Digital Lock Detect

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the package type matches the required PCB footprint, as the BCP suffix indicates a Chip Scale Package (CSP). Ensure that the ordering documentation specifies the correct revision (Rev. D or later) to align with the provided specifications. Confirm availability through authorized distributors, as lead times may vary based on production schedules.

Selection Notes

Select the ADF4360-1BCP when a fixed L-band frequency synthesis solution around 2.2 GHz is required. Consider the divide-by-2 feature if lower frequencies near 1.1 GHz are needed. Evaluate the programmable output power levels (-13 dBm to -6 dBm) against system load requirements. Ensure the reference input frequency capabilities (up to 250 MHz) match the available clock source.

Part Context

The ADF4360-1 is part of the ADF4360 family of PLL frequency synthesizers manufactured by Analog Devices. This specific variant targets applications requiring a dedicated L-band synthesizer with integrated VCO functionality. It serves as a direct replacement for older discrete synthesizer designs in compact wireless communication modules.

Replacement Considerations

For pin-compatible alternatives, consider other members of the ADF4360 family such as the ADF4360-2 or ADF4360-4, noting differences in frequency ranges. Verify that any substitute maintains the same CSP package dimensions and thermal characteristics.
