Overview
The ADF4360-2BCPZRL7 from Analog Devices Inc. is a fully integrated integer-N synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). This device is designed for a center frequency of 2000 MHz, making it suitable for various high-frequency applications. It features a 3-wire serial interface for controlling all on-chip registers and operates with a power supply ranging from 3.0 V to 3.6 V. The ADF4360-2 also includes a divide-by-2 option, allowing for an RF output between 925 MHz and 1085 MHz. The device can be powered down when not in use, reducing power consumption.
