ADF4360-2BCPZRL7

Overview

The ADF4360-2BCPZRL7 is a fully integrated integer-N frequency synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices. Designed for a center frequency of 2000 MHz, it operates within an output frequency range of 1850 MHz to 2170 MHz. The device supports a divide-by-2 option, yielding an RF output between 925 MHz and 1085 MHz. It functions with a power supply ranging from 3.0 V to 3.6 V 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 an output power programmable in 3 dB steps 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
• Divide-by-2 output capability for frequencies between 925 MHz and 1085 MHz
• Programmable output power levels from −13 dBm to −6 dBm

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix RL7 against official documentation to confirm reel packaging and quantity specifications. Ensure compatibility with the LFCSP-24 package dimensions and thermal requirements during procurement planning. Confirm that the B version grade meets the required operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C for the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fully integrated solution for L-band or 2 GHz applications is required. The device is suitable for designs needing programmable output power and low phase noise performance. Consider the divide-by-2 feature if lower frequency outputs are necessary. Ensure the design accommodates the 3.0 V to 3.6 V power supply constraints and utilizes the 3-wire serial interface for configuration.

Part Context

The ADF4360-2 is part of the ADF4360 family of frequency synthesizers. This specific variant is optimized for a 2000 MHz center frequency. It integrates the VCO core, phase-frequency detector, charge pump, and reference dividers into a single chip, reducing external component count compared to discrete solutions. The device is designed for high reliability and low power consumption in wireless communication systems.
