Overview
The ADF4360-9BCPZRL7 is an integrated integer-N synthesizer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) produced by Analog Devices Inc. This device is designed to generate a wide range of frequencies using external inductors to set the VCO center frequency, which can range from 65 MHz to 400 MHz. The ADF4360-9 features a simple 3-wire interface for controlling all on-chip registers and operates with a power supply ranging from 3.0 V to 3.6 V. It also includes a power-down mode for energy efficiency when not in use.
