Dual Low Power PLL
Frequency Synthesizer
ADF4212L
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
IDD Total, 7.5 mA
The ADF4212L is a dual frequency synthesizer that can be used
to implement local oscillators (LO) in the up-conversion and
down-conversion sections of wireless receivers and transmitters.
It can provide the LO for both the RF and IF sections. It con-
sists 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 (6-bit) and B (12-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 implemented
if the synthesizer is used with external loop filters and VCOs
(Voltage Controlled Oscillators).

Control of all the on-chip registers is via a simple 3-wire inter-
face with 1.8 V compatibility. The devices operate with a power
supply ranging from 2.7 V to 3.3 V and can be powered down
when not in use.
