ADF4360-6BCPZRL7

Overview

The ADF4360-6BCPZRL7 is an integrated integer-N frequency synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices. It operates within a VCO output frequency range of 1050 MHz to 1250 MHz, with a center frequency design of 1150 MHz. The device supports a divide-by-2 option, providing an RF output between 525 MHz and 625 MHz. It functions on a power supply ranging from 3.0 V to 3.6 V and features a 3-wire serial interface for register control. Key electrical parameters include a typical phase noise of -110 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset and a programmable output power level adjustable in 3 dB steps.

Feature Summary

• Fully integrated integer-N synthesizer and VCO covering 1050 MHz to 1250 MHz
• Programmable dual-modulus prescaler options: 8/9, 16/17, or 32/33
• Low phase noise performance: -110 dBc/Hz typ at 100 kHz offset
• 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 the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm reel packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with the LFCSP-24 package outline dimensions during PCB layout. Confirm that the B version revision matches the required performance characteristics for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed L-band frequency synthesis solution near 1150 MHz is required. Consider the divide-by-2 feature if a 525–625 MHz output is needed. Evaluate the programmable output power levels (-13.5 dBm to -4.5 dBm) against load requirements. Verify that the 3-wire serial interface timing constraints meet the system controller capabilities.

Part Context

The ADF4360-6 is part of the ADF4360 family of integrated synthesizers. It shares architectural similarities with other variants like the ADF4360-0 through ADF4360-8, which differ primarily in their VCO frequency ranges. This specific model targets applications requiring stability in the 1 GHz to 1.25 GHz band, distinct from higher-frequency counterparts in the same series.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Other members of the ADF4360 family (e.g., ADF4360-0, ADF4360-4) may serve as alternatives if their frequency ranges align with the design requirements, though pinouts and specifications should be verified.
