ADF4360-3BCPZRL

Overview

The ADF4360-3BCPZRL is an integrated integer-N frequency synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a VCO output frequency range of 1600 MHz to 1950 MHz, with a center design frequency of 1750 MHz. The device supports a divide-by-2 option for outputs between 800 MHz and 975 MHz. It functions on a 3.0 V to 3.6 V power supply and features a 3-wire serial interface. Key electrical parameters include a typical phase noise of -110 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset and a programmable output power ranging from -12 dBm to -3 dBm.

Feature Summary

• Integrated Integer-N Synthesizer and VCO covering 1600 MHz to 1950 MHz
• Programmable dual-modulus prescaler options: 8/9, 16/17, or 32/33
• Divide-by-2 output capability yielding 800 MHz to 975 MHz
• Programmable output power levels from -12 dBm to -3 dBm

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RL against official documentation to confirm reel packaging status. Ensure compatibility with the 1600 MHz to 1950 MHz frequency band requirements. Confirm that the LFCSP-24 package handling meets ESD precautions due to the device's sensitivity. Validate that the 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply rails align with system power constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fully integrated solution for the 1.6 GHz to 1.95 GHz range is required. Consider the divide-by-2 feature if lower frequency generation down to 800 MHz is needed. Evaluate the programmable charge pump current and output power settings to optimize power consumption versus signal strength. Ensure the 3-wire serial interface matches the host controller's available pins.

Part Context

The ADF4360-3BCPZRL belongs to the ADF4360 family of frequency synthesizers. This specific variant targets the 1600 MHz to 1950 MHz band, distinguishing it from other family members designed for different frequency ranges such as 2.4 GHz or 1.1 GHz. It utilizes a silicon technology process and is housed in a 24-lead LFCSP package.
