ADF4356BCPZ is a versatile frequency synthesizer that can be used to generate a wide range of output frequencies from input frequencies as low as 1 Hz. It is designed for Clock/Timing applications such as frequency synthesizers, frequency hopping, wideband and narrowband receivers, duplexers, and synthesizers for multiple applications. This article looks at the application field of this frequency synthesizer and its working principle.

Application Field

The ADF4356BCPZ frequency synthesizer is typically used in radio systems that require intermediate frequency signals as low as 1 Hz and up to 3900 MHz. It is an ideal device for high frequency applications, providing improved accuracy and lower power consumption compared to other wideband frequency synthesizers. This device is also suitable for applications such as frequency hopping systems, microwave repeaters, and duplexers where wide operating bandwidths are required. This device is used in radio systems such as Bluetooth and wireless local area networks (WLANs).

The ADF4356BCPZ can also be used in radar systems to provide precision frequency synthesis and control. The device offers a low noise floor and fast settling time for frequency hopping applications. In addition, this device is suitable for software-defined radio systems that need to quickly reconfigure the radio frequency. The device also offers in-band control capability and fast settling times, making it ideal for medical imaging systems and satellite radio systems.

Working Principle

The ADF4356BCPZ frequency synthesizer is based on the architecture of a PLL (phase-locked loop). A PLL is a feedback system that compares the phase of a reference clock with a feedback signal from an output clock and adjusts the output clock frequency to match the reference clock. In the case of the ADF4356BCPZ, the reference clock is the input frequency and the output clock is the synthesized frequency.

The ADF4356BCPZ frequency synthesizer has a variety of components, including a phase/frequency detector, charge pump, and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The phase/frequency detector compares the input frequency to the output frequency and determines how much the output frequency should be adjusted. This information is sent to the charge pump which adjusts the voltage of the VCO in order to change its frequency.

The ADF4356BCPZ frequency synthesizer also includes filters to reduce noise and jitter. The PLL also has a loop filter which filters noise and eliminates oscillations due to phase noise or instability in the loop. The output frequency is then passed through a low-pass filter before it is output.

The ADF4356BCPZ is also equipped with an integrated digital-to-analog converter (DAC), which allows for high-accuracy frequency tuning by directly programming the DAC. The DAC is also used to adjust the amplitude of the output signal to ensure that it does not exceed the specified output power level.

Overall, the ADF4356BCPZ frequency synthesizer is a versatile device that is suitable for a wide range of applications, including high frequency and wideband radios. It can generate precise output frequencies from input frequencies as low as 1 Hz and up to 3900 MHz. It also offers in-band control and fast settling times, making it ideal for medical imaging systems, satellite radio systems, and software-defined radio systems.
