Overview
The ADF4360-0BCPZRL is a fully integrated integer-N synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) produced by Analog Devices Inc. This device is designed for high-frequency applications, particularly centered around a frequency of 2600 MHz, with an optional divide-by-2 feature that allows for RF output between 1200 MHz and 1360 MHz. The synthesizer is controlled via a simple 3-wire interface and operates with a power supply ranging from 3.0 V to 3.6 V. It also features power-down capability when not in use, making it energy-efficient.
