Overview
The ADF4360-7BCPZRL from Analog Devices Inc. is a fully integrated integer-N synthesizer and voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). This device is designed to operate within a frequency range of 350 MHz to 1800 MHz, with the option to divide the output frequency by 2, resulting in an RF output of 175 MHz to 900 MHz. The center frequency is set by external inductors, providing flexibility in frequency selection. The ADF4360-7BCPZRL features a 3-wire serial interface for controlling all on-chip registers and includes hardware and software power-down modes for power management.
