ADF4360-4BCPZRL7

Overview

The ADF4360-4BCPZRL7 is a fully integrated integer-N frequency synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices. Designed for a center frequency of 1600 MHz, it operates within an output frequency range of 1450 MHz to 1750 MHz. The device supports a divide-by-2 option, providing an RF output between 725 MHz and 875 MHz. It functions with a power supply ranging from 3.0 V to 3.6 V and features 1.8 V logic compatibility. Key electrical specifications include a typical phase noise of −111 dBc/Hz at a 100 kHz offset and a programmable output power level adjustable in 3 dB steps from −13 dBm to −4 dBm.

Feature Summary

• Integrated Integer-N Synthesizer and VCO covering 1450 MHz to 1750 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 current consumption

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RL7 against official documentation to confirm reel packaging requirements. Ensure the B version designation matches the required performance specifications. Confirm that the LFCSP-24 package dimensions align with the target PCB layout constraints. Check for moisture sensitivity levels and recommended reflow profiles during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed center frequency near 1600 MHz is required. The divide-by-2 feature allows flexibility for lower frequency applications down to 725 MHz. Consider the programmable output power levels to optimize power dissipation versus signal strength needs. Ensure the reference input frequency falls within the specified 10 MHz to 250 MHz range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ADF4360 family of PLL frequency synthesizers. The ADF4360-4 variant is specifically optimized for L-band applications, such as satellite receivers. Other variants in the family cover different frequency ranges, including lower bands like 350–4400 MHz or higher bands up to 6 GHz. The BCPZ package indicates a Lead-Free Chip Scale Package.
