ADF4360-9 Data Sheet CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION REFERENCE INPUT SECTION VP The reference input stage is shown in Figure 16. SW1 and SW2 are normally closed switches, and SW3 is normally open. When power-down is initiated, SW3 is closed, and SW1 and SW2 are opened. This ensures that there is no loading of the REFIN pin at power-down.
Data Sheet ADF4360-9 The truth table for these bits is shown in Table 5. Figure 22 shows a summary of how the latches are programmed. Note that the test modes latch is used for factory testing and should not be programmed by the user. C2 0 0 1 1 2.5 Data Latch Control R Counter N Counter (B) Test Modes 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.
ADF4360-9 Data Sheet OUTPUT STAGE DVDD Another feature of the ADF4360 family is that the supply current to the RF output stage is shut down until the part achieves lock, as measured by the digital lock detect circuitry. This is enabled by the mute-till-lock detect (MTLD) bit in the control latch.
Data Sheet ADF4360-9 LATCH STRUCTURE Figure 22 shows the three on-chip latches for the ADF4360-9. The two LSBs decide which latch is programmed.

Data Sheet ADF4360-9 POWER-UP Power-Up Sequence The correct programming sequence for the ADF4360-9 after power-up is as follows: 1. R Counter Latch 2. Control Latch 3. N Counter Latch Initial Power-Up Initial power-up refers to programming the part after the application of voltage to the AVDD, DVDD, and VVCO pins. On initial power-up, an interval is required between programming the control latch and programming the N counter latch.
ADF4360-9 Data Sheet Software Power-Up/Power-Down Charge Pump Currents If the part is powered down via the software (using the control latch) and powered up again without any change to the N counter latch during power-down, the part locks at the correct frequency because the part is already in the correct frequency band. The lock time depends on the value of capacitance on the CN pin, which is <15 ms for 10 µF capacitance. The smaller capacitance of 440 nF on this pin enables lock times of <600 µs.
Data Sheet ADF4360-9 N COUNTER LATCH R COUNTER LATCH Figure 24 shows the input data format for programming the N counter latch. With (C2, C1) = (0, 1), the R counter latch is programmed. Figure 25 shows the input data format for programming the R counter latch. 5-Bit Divider A5 to A1 program the output divider. The divide range is 2 (00010) to 31 (11111). If unused, this divider should be set to 0. The output or the output divided by 2 is available at the DIVOUT pin.
ADF4360-9 Data Sheet APPLICATIONS CHOOSING THE CORRECT INDUCTANCE VALUE 12 10 SENSITIVITY (MHz/V) 8 6 4 The lowest center frequency of oscillation possible is approximately 65 MHz, which is achieved using 560 nH inductors. This relationship can be expressed by 2π 9.3 pF(0.9 nH + L EXT ) FREQUENCY (MHz) 600 Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) require a sampling clock for their operation. Generally, this is provided by TCXO or VCXOs, which can be large and expensive.
Data Sheet ADF4360-9 Two 21 nH inductors are required for the specified frequency range. The reference frequency is from a 20 MHz TCXO from Fox; therefore, an R value of 20 is programmed. Taking into account the high PFD frequency and its effect on the band select logic, the band select clock divider is enabled. In this case, a value of 8 is chosen. A very simple shunt resistor and dc-blocking capacitor complete the RF output stage. Because these outputs are not used, they are terminated in 50 Ω resistors.
ADF4360-9 Data Sheet INTERFACING ADSP-21xx Interface The ADF4360 family has a simple SPI-compatible serial interface for writing to the device. CLK, DATA, and LE control the data transfer. When LE goes high, the 24 bits that are clocked into the appropriate register on each rising edge of CLK are transferred to the appropriate latch. See Figure 2 for the timing diagram and Table 5 for the latch truth table.
Data Sheet ADF4360-9 There are a number of ways to match the VCO output of the ADF4360-9 for optimum operation; the most basic is to use a 51 Ω resistor to VVCO. A dc bypass capacitor of 100 pF is connected in series, as shown in Figure 33. Because the resistor is not frequency dependent, this provides a good broadband match. The output power in the circuit in Figure 33 typically gives −9 dBm output power into a 50 Ω load.
