ADF4360-1BCPZRL7

Overview

The ADF4360-1BCPZRL7 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 divide-by-2 option providing 1025 MHz to 1225 MHz. The device functions on a 3.0 V to 3.6 V power supply and features a programmable dual-modulus prescaler (8/9, 16/17, or 32/33). Key electrical specifications include a typical phase noise of -110 dBc/Hz at a 100 kHz offset and an output power level adjustable from -13 dBm to -6 dBm. It utilizes a 3-wire serial interface for register control.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RL7' against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm reel packaging requirements. Ensure compatibility with the LFCSP-24 package dimensions during PCB layout. Confirm that the design supports the required 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply rails and 1.8 V logic levels for the serial interface.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a fully integrated solution in the L-band range. Consider the divide-by-2 feature if lower frequencies around 1.1 GHz are needed. Evaluate the programmable charge pump current and output power settings to optimize power consumption versus signal strength requirements for the specific system architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ADF4360 family of frequency synthesizers. The '-1' designation specifically indicates the 2050 MHz to 2450 MHz frequency band variant. Other variants in the series cover different frequency ranges, such as the ADF4360-4 for 250 MHz to 1.75 GHz. The 'BCPZ' denotes the lead-free LFCSP package, while 'RL7' specifies the tape and reel quantity.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include other ADF4360 variants with different frequency bands, such as ADF4360-4 or ADF4360-5, provided the frequency requirements match. Cross-family replacements require careful evaluation of pinout compatibility, supply voltage, and performance metrics like phase noise and output power.
