ADF4360-3BCPZRL

The ADF4360-3BCPZRL is an RF frequency synthesizer designed for use in a variety of radio, communication, and network applications. It features integrated frequency hopping and carrier frequency agility, allowing for fast, reliable communication. In addition, the ADF4360-3BCPZRL is extremely efficient, providing a low current drain of 20 mA at a 3.3V supply.

The ADF4360-3BCPZRL works by using a phase-locked loop (PLL) and voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) to generate a stable RF signal with a selectable frequency. The PLL locks the output frequency to a reference frequency by comparing the two signals and adjusting the output frequency to match. The VCO is used to generate and modulate the output frequency depending on the desired channel.

The ADF4360-3BCPZRL is an ideal solution for applications requiring precise frequency control, such as wireless networks, mobile telephony, GPS systems, frequency hopping, and satellite communication. Additionally, the device is suitable for a range of non-wireless applications, including motor speed regulation, medical instruments, audio frequency systems, and gaming consoles.

The ADF4360-3BCPZRL features a wide range of adjustment and control options, including frequency diagram selection for offset or harmonic output adjustments, adjustable prescaler and divider frequencies, and an auto-tune option to ensure precise output tuning. It also features selectable output dividers, enabling the output frequency to be adjusted to a range of precise value between its minimum and maximum frequency. The device is also equipped with an on-chip Voltage-Controlled Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (VTCXO), meaning it can remain stable even in extreme temperature variations.

The ADF4360-3BCPZRL has a frequency range of 10–1000 MHz, with a frequency step resolution of 10 kHz and output phase noise of–85 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz offset. It also boasts a wide input voltage range of 2.7V–3.6V, making it suitable for a range of applications.

Overall, the ADF4360-3BCPZRL is an excellent solution for applications requiring precise frequency control and agility. Its low current drain, wide input voltage range, and high level of precision make it suitable for a range of radio, communication, and network applications, from wireless networks to satellite communication.
