GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADF4217L/ADF4218L/ADF4219L are low power dual
frequency synthesizers that can be used to implement local
oscillators in the up-conversion and down-conversion 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 and B 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
fre-
quencies at the PFD input. A complete PLL (phase-locked
loop) can be implemented if the synthesizers are used with an
external loop filter and VCOs (voltage controlled oscillators).
Control of all the on-chip registers is via a simple 3-wire interface
with 1.8 V compatibility. The devices operate with a power supply
ranging from 2.6 V to 3.3 V and can be powered down when
not in use.

NOTES
1
Operating temperature range is as follows: B Version: –40°C to +85°C.
2
The BChip specifications are given as typical values.
3
This is the maximum operating frequency of the CMOS counters. The prescaler value should be chosen to ensure that the RF input is divided down to a frequency
that is less than this value.
4
Guaranteed by design. Sample tested to ensure compliance.

for ADF4218L, ADF4219L = 540 MHz/900 MHz.
7
The synthesizer phase noise floor is estimated by measuring the in-band phase noise at the output of the VCO and subtracting 20logN (where N is the N divider value).
8
The phase noise is measured with the EVAL-ADF421xEB1 Evaluation Board and the HP8562E Spectrum Analyzer. The spectrum analyzer provides the REFIN
for the synthesizer. (f
