ADF4360-9BCPZRL7

Overview

The ADF4360-9BCPZRL7 is an integrated integer-N synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices. It operates within a primary output frequency range of 65 MHz to 400 MHz, determined by external inductors connected to pins L1 and L2. The device supports a 3-wire serial interface for register control and functions with a power supply ranging from 3.0 V to 3.6 V. Key electrical specifications include a typical phase noise of −91 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset and an RMS integrated jitter of 1.4 ps. The component is housed in a 24-pin LFCSP package.

Feature Summary

• Integrated Integer-N Synthesizer and VCO with 65 MHz to 400 MHz output range
• Auxiliary divider stage providing outputs from 1.1 MHz to 200 MHz
• Programmable RF output power levels from −9 dBm to 0 dBm
• Digital lock detect and software power-down mode

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific B version suffix against the manufacturer's current ordering guide to confirm pinout and electrical tolerances. Confirm that the RL7 suffix corresponds to the required reel packaging quantity for production integration. Ensure compatibility with the 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply rails specified in the datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select external inductors carefully to set the desired center frequency, as the VCO range depends on these components. Ensure the reference input frequency matches the supported 10 MHz or 250 MHz options. Verify that the logic levels of the controlling microcontroller are compatible with the 1.8 V logic requirements of the serial interface.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ADF4360 family of clock generators. It is distinct from other variants such as the ADF4360-3 or ADF4360-4, which operate at significantly higher frequency ranges. The ADF4360-9 is specifically designed for lower frequency applications requiring high spectral purity.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include the ADF4360-9BCPZ. Other ADF4360 variants like the ADF4360-3 or ADF4360-4 offer different frequency ranges and may require significant circuit redesign.
