GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADF420x family of dual frequency synthesizers are used
to implement local oscillators in the upconversion and down-
conversion sections of wireless receivers and transmitters. Each
synthesizer consists of a low noise, digital, phase frequency detector
(PFD); 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 (11-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. The on-chip oscillator circuitry allows the reference
input to be derived from crystal oscillators.
A complete phase-locked loop (PLL) can be implemented if the
synthesizers are used with an external loop filter and voltage
controlled oscillators (VCOs).
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 5.5 V and can be powered down when not in use.
