ADF4360-5BCP

Overview

The ADF4360-5 is a fully integrated integer-N synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) designed for a center frequency of 1300 MHz. It operates within an output frequency range of 1200 MHz to 1400 MHz, with a divide-by-2 option providing 600 MHz to 700 MHz. The device supports a 3.0 V to 3.6 V power supply and features 1.8 V logic compatibility. Key electrical specifications include a typical phase noise of −110 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset and a programmable output power level ranging from −13.5 dBm to −4.5 dBm. Control is managed via a 3-wire serial interface.

Feature Summary

• Integrated integer-N synthesizer and VCO covering 1200 MHz to 1400 MHz
• Programmable dual-modulus prescaler options: 8/9, 16/17, or 32/33
• Adjustable output power levels in 3 dB steps from −13.5 dBm to −4.5 dBm
• 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 against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure that the power supply decoupling capacitors are placed as close as possible to the AVDD, DVDD, and VVCO pins to maintain signal integrity and stability during operation.

Selection Notes

Select the appropriate prescaler value based on the required division ratio and VCO frequency to ensure contiguous frequency coverage. Consider the charge pump current settings relative to the loop filter design to optimize lock time and phase noise performance. Verify that the reference input sensitivity matches the available clock source drive levels.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ADF4360 family of frequency synthesizers. The ADF4360-5 variant is specifically optimized for the L-band range around 1300 MHz. It shares architectural similarities with other models in the series but differs in its specific VCO tuning range and band selection characteristics tailored for this frequency segment.

Replacement Considerations
