Fractional-N Frequency Synthesizer
Data Sheet
ADF4153
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
RF bandwidth to 4 GHz
2.7 V to 3.3 V power supply
The ADF4153 is a fractional-N frequency synthesizer
that implements local oscillators in the upconversion
and downconversion sections of wireless receivers and
transmitters. It consists of a low noise digital phase
frequency detector (PFD), a precision charge pump, and
a programmable reference divider. There is a Σ-Δ based
fractional interpolator to allow programmable fractional-N
division. The INT, FRAC, and MOD registers define an
overall N divider (N = (INT + (FRAC/MOD))). In addition,
the 4-bit reference counter (R counter) allows selectable
REFIN frequencies at the PFD input. A complete phase-
locked loop (PLL) can be implemented if the synthesizer is
used with an external loop filter and a voltage controlled
oscillator (VCO).
Separate VP allows extended tuning voltage
Y version available: −40°C to +125°C
Programmable fractional modulus
Programmable charge pump currents
3-wire serial interface
Analog and digital lock detect
Power-down mode
Pin-compatible with ADF4110/ADF4111/ADF4112/ADF4113
and ADF4106

Qualified for automotive applications
A simple 3-wire interface controls all on-chip registers.
The device operates with a power supply ranging from
2.7 V to 3.3 V and can be powered down when not in use.
