The PLL can support input reference frequencies from 12 MHz
to 160 MHz. The PFD output controls a charge pump whose
output drives an off-chip loop filter.
The loop filter output is then applied to an integrated VCO. The

programmable PLL divider. The programmable PLL divider is
controlled by a Σ- modulator (SDM). The modulus of the SDM
can be programmed from 1 to 2047.
The active mixer converts the single-ended 50 RF input to
a 200 Ω differential IF output. The IF output can operate up
to 500 MHz.
The ADRF6602 is fabricated using an advanced silicon-germanium
BiCMOS process. It is available in a 40-lead, RoHS-compliant,
6 mm × 6 mm LFCSP with an exposed paddle. Performance is
specified over the −40°C to +85°C temperature range.

should be decoupled with a 100 pF capacitor and a 0.1 μF capacitor located close to the pin.

Charge Pump Current. The nominal charge pump current can be set to 250 μA, 500 μA, 750 μA, or 1 mA using
Bit DB11 and Bit DB10 in Register 4 and by setting Bit DB18 in Register 4 to 0 (internal reference current). In
this mode, no external R

6 REF_IN Reference Input. Nominal input level is 1 V p-p. Input range is 12 MHz to 160 MHz.
8 MUXOUT
Multiplexer Output. This output can be programmed to provide the reference output signal or the lock detect
signal. The output is selected by programming the appropriate register.
9 DECL2P5 Decoupling Node for 2.5 V LDO. Connect a 0.1 μF capacitor between this pin and ground.
10 VCC2
Power Supply for the 2.5 V LDO. Power supply voltage range is 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Each power supply pin
should be decoupled with a 100 pF capacitor and a 0.1 μF capacitor located close to the pin.
12 DATA Serial Data Input. The serial data input is loaded MSB first; the three LSBs are the control bits.
13 CLK
Serial Clock Input. The serial clock input is used to clock in the serial data to the registers. The data is latched
into the 24-bit shift register on the CLK rising edge. Maximum clock frequency is 20 MHz.
14 LE
Load Enable. When the LE input pin goes high, the data stored in the shift registers is loaded into one of the
eight registers. The relevant latch is selected by the three control bits of the 24-bit word.
16 PLL_EN
PLL Enable. Switch between internal PLL and external LO input. When this pin is logic high, the mixer LO is
automatically switched to the internal PLL and the internal PLL is powered up. When this pin is logic low, the
internal PLL is powered down and the external LO input is routed to the mixer LO inputs. The SPI can also be
used to switch modes.

LO Driver Enable. Together with Pin 16 (PLL_EN), this digital input pin determines whether the LOP and LON
pins operate as inputs or outputs. LOP and LON become inputs if the PLL_EN pin is low or if the PLL_EN pin
is set high with the PLEN bit (DB6 in Register 5) set to 0. LOP and LON become outputs if either the LODRV_EN
pin or the LDRV bit (DB3 in Register 5) is set to 1 while the PLL_EN pin is set high. External LO drive frequency
must be 1× LO. This pin should not be left floating.
Local Oscillator Input/Output. The internally generated 1× LO is available on these pins. When internal LO
generation is disabled, an external 1× LO can be applied to these pins.
VCO Control Voltage Input. This pin is driven by the output of the loop filter. Nominal input voltage range on
this pin is 1.5 V to 2.5 V.
