The ADF4217L/ADF4218L/ADF4219L are low power dual
frequency synthesizers that can be used to implement local
oscillators in the up-conversion and down-conversion sections
of wireless receivers and transmitters. They can provide the LO
for both the RF and IF sections. They consist of a low noise
digital PFD (phase frequency detector), a precision charge pump,
programmable reference divider, programmable A and B counters,
a
and a dual modulus prescaler (P/P + 1). The A and B 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 fre-
quencies at the PFD input. A complete PLL (phase-locked
loop) can be implemented if the synthesizers are used with an
external loop filter and VCOs (voltage controlled oscillators).
Power-Down Mode
APPLICATIONS
Wireless Handsets (GSM, PCS, DCS, CDMA, WCDMA)
Base Stations for Wireless Radio (GSM, PCS, DCS, WCDMA)
Wireless LANs
Communications Test Equipment
Cable TV Tuners (CATV)
Control of all the on-chip registers is via a simple 3-wire interface
with 1.8 V compatibility. The devices operate with a power supply
ranging from 2.6 V to 3.3 V and can be powered down when
not in use.
