ADF4360-1BCPZ

Overview

The ADF4360-1BCPZ is a fully integrated integer-N frequency synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within an output frequency range of 2050 MHz to 2450 MHz, with a center frequency design 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 parameters include a typical phase noise of -110 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset and a programmable charge pump current ranging from 0.312 mA to 2.5 mA.

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 sleep current

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BCPZ' against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure the development environment supports the required 3-wire serial protocol and that the PCB layout adheres to the chip-scale package guidelines for thermal management and signal integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, integrated solution for L-band frequencies is required. Consider the divide-by-2 feature if lower frequency synthesis is needed. Evaluate the programmable output power levels (-6 dBm to -13 dBm) against system load requirements and verify that the reference input sensitivity matches the available clock source specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ADF4360 family of PLL frequency synthesizers. It is designed for applications requiring high stability and low power consumption in wireless communication systems. The device integrates the VCO core, phase detector, charge pump, and counters into a single LFCSP-24 package to minimize external component count.
