ADF4360-2BCPZ

Overview

The ADF4360-2 is a fully integrated integer-N synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) designed for a center frequency of 2000 MHz. It operates within an output frequency range of 1850 MHz to 2170 MHz, with a divide-by-2 option providing 925 MHz to 1085 MHz. The device functions on a 3.0 V to 3.6 V power supply and features a 3-wire serial interface. Key electrical specifications include a typical phase noise of −110 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset and a programmable output power level ranging from −13 dBm to −6 dBm.

Feature Summary

• Integrated Integer-N Synthesizer and VCO covering 1850 MHz to 2170 MHz
• Programmable dual-modulus prescaler options: 8/9, 16/17, or 32/33
• Adjustable output power levels from −13 dBm to −6 dBm in 3 dB steps
• Low power consumption with hardware and software power-down modes

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific B version suffix against the manufacturer's ordering guide to ensure correct charge pump current settings and package availability. Confirm that the application environment supports the required 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply rails and 1.8 V logic compatibility for the serial interface connections.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed L-band frequency around 2 GHz is required. Ensure the reference input frequency falls between 10 MHz and 250 MHz. For frequencies above 2 GHz, limit the VCO core current to 15 mA; below 2 GHz, use 20 mA. Verify that the loop bandwidth and PFD frequency meet the lock time requirements of the system design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ADF4360 family of frequency synthesizers. It is specifically optimized for L-band applications, distinguishing itself from other variants by its specific frequency coverage centered at 2000 MHz. The device integrates the phase detector, charge pump, and VCO into a single LFCSP-24 package to minimize external component count.
