ADF4360-5BCPZRL7

Overview

The ADF4360-5BCPZRL7 is a fully integrated integer-N frequency synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. Designed for an L-band center frequency of 1300 MHz, it operates within a 1200 MHz to 1400 MHz output range. The device supports a divide-by-2 option for 600 MHz to 700 MHz outputs. It 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 programmable output power levels 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
• Programmable RF output power levels in 3 dB steps (-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 local oscillators
• Wireless LANs
• CATV equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RL7 against official documentation to confirm reel packaging details. Ensure the B version designation matches the required performance characteristics. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest datasheet revision. Cross-reference the pinout and thermal requirements for the LFCSP package during integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a compact, single-chip solution for L-band frequency synthesis. Consider the programmable prescaler values when calculating division ratios for desired channel spacings. Evaluate the charge pump current settings against loop filter design requirements to optimize lock time and phase noise performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ADF4360 family of frequency synthesizers. The ADF4360-5 variant is specifically optimized for the 1200 MHz to 1400 MHz range. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the ADF4360-4 but differs in frequency coverage. The BC designation indicates the commercial temperature grade and package type.
