ADF4360-1BCPRL

Overview

The ADF4360-1BCPRL is an integrated integer-N frequency synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices. It operates within a VCO output frequency range of 2050 MHz to 2450 MHz, with a center design frequency of 2250 MHz. The device supports a divide-by-2 option for outputs between 1025 MHz and 1225 MHz. It functions on a 3.0 V to 3.6 V power supply and features a 3-wire serial interface for register control. Key electrical specifications include a typical phase noise of -110 dBc/Hz at a 100 kHz offset and programmable output power levels ranging from -13 dBm to -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, or 32/33
• 3-wire serial interface with 1.8 V logic compatibility
• 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 official ordering guide to confirm packaging details such as reel quantity or tape-and-reel configuration. Ensure that the B-version silicon revision matches the system requirements for temperature range and performance characteristics defined in the datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fully integrated solution for L-band frequencies is required without external VCOs. Consider the programmable charge pump current and output power levels to optimize loop filter design and power dissipation. Verify that the reference input frequency falls within the specified 10 MHz to 250 MHz range for proper operation.

Part Context

The ADF4360-1 is part of the ADF4360 family of frequency synthesizers. This specific variant targets the 2050 MHz to 2450 MHz band, distinguishing it from other family members like the ADF4360-0 or ADF4360-3 which cover different frequency ranges. It utilizes a 24-pin LFCSP package for compact integration.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include the ADF4360-0BCPZRL (2500–3000 MHz) or ADF4360-3BCPZRL (1600–1950 MHz), provided the application frequency aligns with their respective ranges. Cross-family replacement requires careful evaluation of pinout compatibility and register programming.
