The ADF4210/ADF4211/ADF4212/ADF4213 is a dual frequency
synthesizer that can be used to implement local oscillators (LO)
in the upconversion and downconversion sections of wireless
receivers and transmitters. They can provide the LO for both
the RF and IF sections. They consist of a low-noise digital PFD
(Phase Frequency Detector), a precision charge pump, a programmable reference divider, programmable A and B Counters
and a dual-modulus prescaler (P/P + 1). The A (6-bit) and B
(12-bit) counters, in conjunction with the dual modulus prescaler
(P/P + 1), implement an N divider (N = BP + A). In addition,
the 14-bit reference counter (R Counter), allows selectable
REFIN frequencies at the PFD input. A complete PLL (PhaseLocked Loop) can be implemented if the synthesizer is used with
an external loop filter and VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillators).
Control of all the on-chip registers is via a simple 3-wire interface.
The devices operate with a power supply ranging from 2.7 V to
5 V and can be powered down when not in use.

Operating temperature range is as follows: B Version: –40°C to +85°C.

The B Chip specifications are given as typical values.

This is the maximum operating frequency of the CMOS counters. The prescaler value should be chosen to ensure that the IF/RF input is divided down to a frequency that is
less than this value.

VDD1 = VDD2 = 3 V; For VDD1 = VDD2 = 5 V, use CMOS-compatible levels, TA = 25°C.

VDD = 3 V; P = 16; RFIN = 900 MHz; IFIN = 540 MHz, TA = 25°C.

The synthesizer phase noise floor is estimated by measuring the in-band phase noise at the output of the VCO and subtracting 20 logN (where N is the N divider value). See
TPC 16.

The phase noise is measured with the EVAL-ADF4210/ADF4212/ADF4213EB Evaluation Board and the HP8562E Spectrum Analyzer. The spectrum analyzer provides the

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the ADF4210/ADF4211/ADF4212/ADF4213 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore,
proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
