Wideband Synthesizer
with Integrated VCO
ADF4351
Data Sheet
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Output frequency range: 35 MHz to 4400 MHz
Fractional-N synthesizer and integer-N synthesizer
Low phase noise VCO
The ADF4351 allows implementation of fractional-N or integer-N
phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizers when used with
an external loop filter and external reference frequency.
Programmable divide-by-1/-2/-4/-8/-16/-32/-64 output
Typical jitter: 0.3 ps rms
Typical EVM at 2.1 GHz: 0.4%
Power supply: 3.0 V to 3.6 V
Logic compatibility: 1.8 V
Programmable dual-modulus prescaler of 4/5 or 8/9
Programmable output power level
RF output mute function
The ADF4351 has an integrated voltage controlled oscillator (VCO)
with a fundamental output frequency ranging from 2200 MHz to
4400 MHz. In addition, divide-by-1/-2/-4/-8/-16/-32/-64 circuits
allow the user to generate RF output frequencies as low as 35 MHz.
For applications that require isolation, the RF output stage can be
muted. The mute function is both pin- and software-controllable.
An auxiliary RF output is also available, which can be powered
down when not in use.
3-wire serial interface
Control of all 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 and can be powered down when not in use.
Analog and digital lock detect
Switched bandwidth fast lock mode
Cycle slip reduction
