Cycle slip reduction for faster lock times
The ADF4157 is a 6 GHz fractional-N frequency synthesizer
with a 25-bit fixed modulus, allowing subhertz frequency
resolution at 6 GHz. 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 and FRAC registers define an overall
N divider, N = INT + (FRAC/225). The ADF4157 features cycle
slip reduction circuitry, which leads to faster lock times without
the need for modifications to the loop filter.
Control of all on-chip registers is via a simple 3-wire interface.
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.
