RF PLL Frequency Synthesizers
ADF4116/ADF4117/ADF4118
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ADF4116 family of frequency synthesizers can be used
to implement local oscillators in the up-conversion and down-
conversion sections of wireless receivers and transmitters. They
consist of a low-noise digital PFD (Phase Frequency Detector),
a precision charge pump, a programmable reference divider,
programmable A and B counters and a dual-modulus prescaler
(P/P+1). The A (5-bit) and B (13-bit) counters, in conjunction
with the dual modulus prescaler (P/P+1), implement an N
divider (N = BP+A). In addition, the 14-bit reference counter
(R Counter), allows selectable REFIN frequencies at the PFD
input. A complete PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) can be imple-
mented if the synthesizer is used with an external loop filter and
VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator).
ADF4116: 550 MHz
ADF4117: 1.2 GHz
ADF4118: 3.0 GHz
2.7 V to 5.5 V Power Supply
Separate VP Allows Extended Tuning Voltage in 3 V
Systems
Selected Charge Pump Currents
Dual Modulus Prescaler
ADF4116: 8/9
ADF4117/ADF4118: 32/33
3-Wire Serial Interface

Power-Down Mode
Fast Lock Mode
Control of all the on-chip registers is via a simple 3-wire interface.
The devices operate with a power supply ranging from 2.7 V to
5.5 V and can be powered down when not in use.
