GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADF4108 frequency synthesizer can be used to implement
local oscillators in the upconversion and downconversion sections
of wireless receivers and transmitters. It consists 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
(13-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 REF
IN
frequencies at the PFD input. A complete phase-locked loop (PLL)
can be implemented if the synthesizer is used with an external
loop filter and voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). Its very high
bandwidth means that frequency doublers can be eliminated in
many high frequency systems, simplifying system architecture
and reducing cost.
