The ADF4360-7 is an integrated integer-N synthesizer and voltage controlled oscillator (VCO)
The ADF4360-7 is an integrated integer‑N synthesizer and voltage‑controlled oscillator (VCO) that covers an output frequency range of 350 MHz to 1800 MHz, with an optional divide‑by‑2 mode for 175 MHz to 900 MHz. It is programmed via a simple 3‑wire serial interface and operates from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply while supporting 1.8 V logic levels.
The datasheet provides full pin‑out descriptions, timing diagrams, absolute maximum ratings, and typical performance graphs such as phase‑noise plots and output power steps. It also lists recommended external components, such as inductors for frequency setting, and includes application notes for wireless handsets, test equipment, and CATV systems.
| Output frequency range | 350 MHz to 1800 MHz |
|---|---|
| Power supply voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V |
| Logic compatibility | 1.8 V |
| Reference input frequency range | 10 MHz to 250 MHz |
| Output power level | -14 dBm to -5 dBm (programmable) |
| Phase‑noise (100 kHz offset) | -116 dBc/Hz |
| Operating temperature range | -40 °C to +85 °C |
The device can generate frequencies from 350 MHz up to 1800 MHz, with a divide‑by‑2 option that halves the range.
It operates from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V analog power supply.
All on‑chip registers are controlled through a simple 3‑wire serial interface.
The reference input can accept frequencies from 10 MHz up to 250 MHz.
