ADF4360-5BCPZ

Overview

The ADF4360-5BCPZ is an integrated integer-N synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) from Analog Devices, designed for a center frequency of 1300 MHz. It operates within an output frequency range of 1200 MHz to 1400 MHz and supports a divide-by-2 option for 600 MHz to 700 MHz outputs. The device functions on a 3.0 V to 3.6 V power supply with 1.8 V logic compatibility. Key electrical specifications include a typical phase noise of −110 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset and a programmable charge pump current ranging from 0.312 mA to 2.5 mA. It utilizes a 3-wire serial interface for register control and features hardware/software power-down modes.

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 from −13.5 dBm to −4.5 dBm in 3 dB steps
• Analog and digital lock detect capabilities with MUXOUT access

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BC indicates the B-version performance characteristics as detailed in the datasheet specifications table. Confirm package type LFCSP-24 matches design requirements. Ensure power supply decoupling adheres to the PCB design guidelines for chip scale packages to maintain signal integrity and thermal performance.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed L-band frequency source near 1300 MHz is required. The divide-by-2 feature allows flexibility for 600–700 MHz applications. Consider the programmable core power (5–20 mA) and output stage current (3.5–11 mA) to balance power consumption against output power needs. Ensure the reference input frequency falls within the 10 MHz to 250 MHz range.

Part Context

The ADF4360-5 is part of the broader ADF4360 family of integrated PLL and VCO synthesizers. This family utilizes a multiband architecture to provide wide frequency ranges with low sensitivity. The ADF4360-5 specifically targets the 1200–1400 MHz band, distinguishing it from other variants that cover different frequency segments within the 65 MHz to 2.725 GHz spectrum.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Evaluate other members of the ADF4360 family if different frequency bands are required, ensuring pinout and register compatibility.
