Cycle slip reduction for faster lock times
Switched bandwidth fast lock mode
Qualified for automotive applications
with direct modulation and waveform generation capability. It
contains a 25-bit fixed modulus, allowing subhertz resolution at
6.1 GHz. It consists of a low noise digital phase frequency
detector (PFD), a precision charge pump, and a programmable
reference divider. There is a sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) based fractional
interpolator to allow programmable fractional-N division. The
INT and FRAC registers define an overall N-divider as N = INT +
(FRAC/225).
The ADF4158 can be used to implement frequency shift keying
(FSK) and phase shift keying (PSK) modulation. There are also
a number of frequency sweep modes available that generate
various waveforms in the frequency domain, for example,
sawtooth and triangular waveforms. The ADF4158 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.
