ADF4151
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Fractional-N synthesizer and integer-N synthesizer
RF bandwidth to 3.5 GHz
3.0 V to 3.6 V power supply
The ADF4151 allows implementation of fractional-N or
integer-N phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizers
if used with an external voltage controlled oscillator (VCO),
loop filter, and external reference frequency.
1.8 V logic compatibility
Separate charge pump supply (VP) allows extended tuning
voltage (up to 5.5 V) in 3 V systems
Programmable dual-modulus prescaler of 4/5 or 8/9
Programmable RF output phase
3-wire serial interface
Analog and digital lock detect
The ADF4151 is used with external VCO parts and is footprint
and software compatible with the ADF4350. The part 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))]. The
RF output phase is programmable for applications that require
a particular phase relationship between the output and the
reference. The ADF4151 also features cycle slip reduction
circuitry, leading to faster lock times without the need for
modifications to the loop filter.
Switched bandwidth fast lock mode
Cycle slip reduction
APPLICATIONS
Wireless infrastructure (W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, WiMax, GSM,
PCS, DCS, DECT)
Test equipment
Wireless LANs, CATV equipment
Clock generation
Control of all the on-chip registers is through a simple 3-wire
interface. The device operates with a power supply ranging
from 3.0 V to 3.6 V that can be powered down when not in use.
The ADF4151 is available in a 5 mm × 5 mm package.
