ADF5610BCCZ-RL7

Overview

The ADF5610BCCZ-RL7 is a microwave wideband synthesizer with an integrated voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates in fractional-N or integer-N PLL modes, covering an RF output frequency range from 57 MHz to 14,600 MHz. The device features a 24-bit fractional modulus and supports exact frequency mode for zero Hz frequency error. Typical power dissipation is 815 mW, with programmable low-current modes reducing consumption below 700 mW. It utilizes a 48-terminal LGA package and communicates via a 3-wire serial interface.

Feature Summary

• RF output frequency range of 57 MHz to 14,600 MHz with integrated VCO
• Fractional-N and Integer-N synthesizer modes with 24-bit fractional modulus
• Typical phase noise floor of -115 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset (7.3 GHz)
• Fast frequency hopping capability under 40 µs with autocalibration enabled

Applications

• Military and defense systems
• Wireless infrastructure equipment
• Satellite and very small aperture terminal (VSAT) communications
• Microwave radio links
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix RL7 corresponds to the reel packaging configuration required for production. Confirm that the BCCZ variant matches the thermal and mechanical specifications needed for the target PCB layout. Ensure compatibility with the 3.3 V and 5.0 V supply rails specified in the datasheet before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring wideband frequency synthesis up to 14.6 GHz with low phase noise. Consider the high-performance mode for applications demanding superior spectral purity, or the low-current mode for power-constrained environments. Ensure the external loop filter design supports the desired loop bandwidth and fast frequency hopping requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ADF5610 series of microwave wideband synthesizers. The BCCZ designation indicates the specific lead-free LGA package type, while the RL7 suffix denotes the tape and reel packaging format used for automated assembly processes. It is designed to replace older discrete PLL solutions with a highly integrated monolithic approach.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not explicitly listed in the provided documentation. Engineers should evaluate other Analog Devices PLL synthesizers with similar frequency ranges and package footprints, ensuring that phase noise performance and supply voltage requirements align with the original design constraints.
