APPLICATIONS
FREQUENCY GENERATOR
The wide frequency range of the AD4360-7, plus the on-chip
divider, make it an ideal choice for implementing any general
purpose clock generator or LO.
To implement a clock generator in the FM band, it is necessary
to use an external divider. The ADF4007 contains a hardware-
programmable N divider, allowing division ratios of 8, 16, 32,
and 64. This divided-down signal is accessed from the
MUXOUT pin of the ADF4007.
The minimum frequency that can be fed to the ADF4007 is
500 MHz. Therefore, 2.2 nH inductors were used to set the
fundamental frequency of oscillation at 1 GHz, with a range
from 950 MHz to 1100 MHz.

This allows frequencies as low as 8 MHz and as high as
137 MHz to be generated using a single system. In the circuit
drawn in Figure 23, the ADF4360-7 is being used to generate
1024 MHz, and the ADF4007 is being used to divide by 8. To
provide a channel spacing of 100 kHz, a PFD frequency of
800 kHz is used for the ADF4360-7 PLL. The loop bandwidth
is chosen to be 20 kHz.
The output range of the system in Figure 23 is approximately
120 MHz to 135 MHz. The output phase noise is −104 dBc/Hz
at 1 kHz offset. Using different inductor values allows the
ADF4360-7 to be used to synthesize any different range of
frequencies over the operation of the part (235 MHz to
1800 MHz).
