Overview
The ADF4360-7BCPZ is an integrated integer-N synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) produced by Analog Devices Inc. This device is designed to provide a wide range of frequency synthesis capabilities, making it versatile for various RF applications. The synthesizer operates with a power supply ranging from 3.0 V to 3.6 V and features a 3-wire serial interface for controlling all on-chip registers. The center frequency of the VCO is set by external inductors, allowing a frequency range of 350 MHz to 1800 MHz, with an optional divide-by-2 feature to achieve RF outputs between 175 MHz and 900 MHz.
