Overview
The ADF4360-6BCPZ is a fully integrated integer-N synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) designed by Analog Devices Inc. This device is centered around a frequency of 1150 MHz, with an optional divide-by-2 feature that allows for an RF output between 525 MHz and 625 MHz. It operates with a power supply ranging from 3.0 V to 3.6 V and features a power-down mode for energy efficiency. The device is controlled via a simple 3-wire interface and includes linearization circuitry to minimize variations in the product of the charge pump current and the VCO gain (KV).
