ADF4360-8BCPZRL7

Overview

The ADF4360-8BCPZRL7 is an integrated integer-N synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices. It operates within a frequency range of 65 MHz to 400 MHz, determined by external inductors connected to L1 and L2 pins. The device requires a power supply between 3.0 V and 3.6 V and supports 1.8 V logic compatibility. Key electrical specifications include a typical phase noise of -120 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset and a programmable output power level ranging from -9 dBm to 0 dBm. It features a 3-wire serial interface for register control and includes digital lock detect functionality.

Feature Summary

• Integrated Integer-N Synthesizer and VCO with 65 MHz to 400 MHz output range
• Programmable Output Power: -9 dBm to 0 dBm via current setting bits
• Digital Lock Detect with Mute-Till-Lock Detect (MTLD) feature
• 3-Wire Serial Interface supporting 1.8 V logic levels

Applications

• System clock generation
• Test equipment
• Wireless LANs
• CATV equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RL7 corresponds to the reel packaging format as indicated in distributor listings. Confirm that the B version matches the required performance parameters, specifically the charge pump current settings and phase detector characteristics defined in the Rev D datasheet. Ensure the LFCSP-24 package handling guidelines are followed due to ESD sensitivity.

Selection Notes

Select appropriate external inductors for L1 and L2 to set the desired center frequency band, noting that L1 and L2 must be equal values. Consider the core power level settings (2.5 mA to 10 mA) to balance phase noise performance against power consumption. Verify that the reference input frequency falls within the 10 MHz to 250 MHz range and that the loop filter design accommodates the programmable charge pump currents.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ADF4360 family of RF synthesizers. The ADF4360-8 variant specifically targets the 65 MHz to 400 MHz frequency range using external inductors, distinguishing it from other variants in the series that may cover different bands or use internal VCOs. It is designed for applications requiring low phase noise and flexible frequency synthesis capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Designers should consult the manufacturer's selection guide for alternative models within the ADF4360 family or other compatible PLL synthesizers if pin-out or parameter mismatches occur.
