CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
REFERENCE INPUT SECTION
The reference input stage is shown in Figure 10. SW1 and SW2
are normally closed switches. SW3 is normally open. When
power-down is initiated, SW3 is closed, and SW1 and SW2 are
opened. This ensures that there is no loading of the REFIN pin
on power-down.

The 14-bit R counter allows the input reference frequency to
be divided down to produce the reference clock to the phase
frequency detector (PFD). Division ratios from 1 to 16,383 are
allowed.
Figure 10. Reference Input Stage
PRESCALER (P/P + 1)
The dual-modulus prescaler (P/P + 1), along with the A and B
counters, enables the large division ratio, N, to be realized (N =
BP + A). The dual-modulus prescaler, operating at CML levels,
takes the clock from the VCO and divides it down to a manage-
able frequency for the CMOS A and B counters. The prescaler is
programmable. It can be set in software to 8/9, 16/17, or 32/33
and is based on a synchronous 4/5 core. There is a minimum
divide ratio possible for fully contiguous output frequencies;
this minimum is determined by P, the prescaler value, and is
given by (P2−P).
PFD AND CHARGE PUMP
The PFD takes inputs from the R counter and N counter (N =
BP + A) and produces an output proportional to the phase and
frequency difference between them. Figure 12 is a simplified
schematic. The PFD includes a programmable delay element
that controls the width of the antibacklash pulse. This pulse
ensures that there is no dead zone in the PFD transfer function
and minimizes phase noise and reference spurs. Two bits in the
R counter latch, ABP2 and ABP1, control the width of the pulse
(see Table 9).
A AND B COUNTERS
V
P
The A and B CMOS counters combine with the dual-modulus
prescaler to allow a wide range division ratio in the PLL feed-
back counter. The counters are specified to work when the
prescaler output is 300 MHz or less. Thus, with a VCO
frequency of 2.5 GHz, a prescaler value of 16/17 is valid, but a
value of 8/9 is not valid.

Data Latch
The output multiplexer on the ADF4360 family allows the user
to access various internal points on the chip. The state of
MUXOUT is controlled by M3, M2, and M1 in the function
latch. The full truth table is shown on Table 7. Figure 13 shows

Test Modes Latch
Lock Detect
MUXOUT can be programmed for two types of lock detect:
digital and analog. Digital lock detect is active high. When LDP
in the R counter latch is set to 0, digital lock detect is set high
when the phase error on three consecutive phase detector cycles
is less than 15 ns.
VCO
The VCO core in the ADF4360 family uses eight overlapping
bands, as shown in Figure 14, to allow a wide frequency range to
be covered without a large VCO sensitivity (KV) and resultant
poor phase noise and spurious performance.
With LDP set to 1, five consecutive cycles of less than 15 ns
phase error are required to set the lock detect. It will stay set
high until a phase error of greater than 25 ns is detected on any
subsequent PD cycle.
The correct band is chosen automatically by the band select
logic at power-up or whenever the N counter latch is updated. It
is important that the correct write sequence be followed at
power-up. This sequence is
The N-channel open-drain analog lock detect should be oper-
ated with an external pull-up resistor of 10 kΩ nominal. When
lock has been detected, this output will be high with narrow
low-going pulses.

shift register, a 14-bit R counter, and an 18-bit N counter, com-
prising of a 5-bit A counter and a 13-bit B counter. Data is
clocked into the 24-bit shift register on each rising edge of CLK.
The data is clocked in MSB first. Data is transferred from the
shift register to one of four latches on the rising edge of LE. The
destination latch is determined by the state of the two control
bits (C2, C1) in the shift register. These are the two LSBs—DB1,
DB0—as shown in Figure 2.
FREQUENCY (MHz)
Figure 14. Frequency vs. VTUNE, ADF4360-1
The R counter output is used as the clock for the band select
logic and should not exceed 1 MHz. A programmable divider is
provided at the R counter input to allow division by 1, 2, 4, or 8
and is controlled by Bits BSC1 and BSC2 in the R counter latch.
Where the required PFD frequency exceeds 1 MHz, the divide
ratio should be set to allow enough time for correct band
selection.
The truth table for these bits is shown in Table 5. Table 6 shows
a summary of how the latches are programmed. Note that the
test modes latch is used for factory testing and should not be
programmed by the user.

ADF4360-1
After band select, normal PLL action resumes. The nominal value
of KV is 57 MHz/V or 28 MHZ/V if divide-by-2 operation has been
selected (by programming DIV2 (DB22), high in the N counter
latch). The ADF4360 family contains linearization circuitry to
minimize any variation of the product of ICP and KV.
If the outputs are used individually, the optimum output stage
consists of a shunt inductor to VDD
.
Another feature of the ADF4360 family is that the supply current
to the RF output stage is shut down until the part achieves lock as
measured by the digital lock detect circuitry. This is enabled by the
Mute-Till-Lock Detect (MTLD) bit in the control latch.
The operating current in the VCO core is programmable in four
steps: 5 mA, 10 mA, 15 mA, and 20 mA. This is controlled by
Bits PC1 and PC2 in the control latch.

OUTPUT STAGE
The RFOUTA and RFOUTB pins of the ADF4360 family are con-
nected to the collectors of an NPN differential pair driven by
buffered outputs of the VCO, as shown in Figure 15. To allow
the user to optimize the power dissipation versus the output
power requirements, the tail current of the differential pair is
programmable via Bits PL1 and PL2 in the control latch. Four
current levels may be set: 3.5 mA, 5 mA, 7.5 mA, and 11 mA.
These levels give output power levels of −13 dBm, −10.5 dBm,
−8 dBm, and −6 dBm, respectively, using a 50 Ω resistor to VDD
and ac coupling into a 50 Ω load. Alternatively, both outputs
can be combined in a 1 + 1:1 transformer or a 180° microstrip
coupler (see the Output Matching section).

CONTROL LATCH
Charge Pump Currents
With (C2, C1) = (0, 0), the control latch is programmed. Table 7
shows the input data format for programming the control latch.
CPI3, CPI2, and CPI1 in the ADF4360 family determine
Current Setting 1.
Prescaler Value
In the ADF4360 family, P2 and P1 in the control latch set the
prescaler values.
CPI6, CPI5, and CPI4 determine Current Setting 2. See the
truth table in Table 7.
Power-Down
Output Power Level
DB21 (PD2) and DB20 (PD1) provide programmable power-
down modes.
Bits PL1 and PL2 set the output power level of the VCO. See the
truth table in Table 7.
Mute-Till-Lock Detect
In the programmed asynchronous power-down, the device
powers down immediately after latching a 1 into Bit PD1, with
the condition that PD2 has been loaded with a 0. In the pro-
grammed synchronous power-down, the device power-down is
gated by the charge pump to prevent unwanted frequency
jumps. Once the power-down is enabled by writing a 1 into
Bit PD1 (on the condition that a 1 has also been loaded to PD2),
the device will go into power-down on the second rising edge of
the R counter output, after LE goes high. When the CE pin is
low, the device is immediately disabled regardless of the state of
PD1 or PD2.
DB11 of the control latch in the ADF4360 family is the Mute-Till-
Lock Detect bit. This function, when enabled, ensures that the RF
outputs are not switched on until the PLL is locked.
CP Gain
DB10 of the control latch in the ADF4360 family is the Charge
Pump Gain bit. When it is programmed to a 1, Current Setting 2
is used. When it is programmed to a 0, Current Setting 1 is used.
Charge Pump Three-State
This bit puts the charge pump into three-state mode when
programmed to a 1. It should be set to 0 for normal operation.
When a power-down is activated (either in synchronous or
asynchronous mode), the following events occur:
Phase Detector Polarity
The PDP bit in the ADF4360 family sets the phase detector
polarity. The positive setting enabled by programming a 1 is
used when using the on-chip VCO with a passive loop filter or
with an active noninverting filter. It can also be set to 0. This is
required if an active inverting loop filter is used.
• All active dc current paths are removed.
• The R, N, and timeout counters are forced to their load
state conditions.
• The charge pump is forced into three-state mode.
• The digital lock detect circuitry is reset.
MUXOUT Control
The on-chip multiplexer is controlled by M3, M2, and M1.
See the truth table in Table 7.
• The RF outputs are debiased to a high impedance state.
• The reference input buffer circuitry is disabled.
Counter Reset
DB4 is the counter reset bit for the ADF4360 family. When this
is 1, the R counter and the A, B counters are reset. For normal
operation, this bit should be 0.
• The input register remains active and capable of loading and
latching data.
Core Power Level
PC1 and PC2 set the power level in the VCO core. The recom-
mended setting is 15 mA. See the truth table in Table 7.

R COUNTER LATCH
N COUNTER LATCH
With (C2, C1) = (0, 1), the R counter latch is programmed.
Table 9 shows the input data format for programming the
R counter latch.
With (C2, C1) = (1, 0), the N counter latch is programmed.
Table 8 shows the input data format for programming the
N counter latch.
R Counter
A Counter Latch
R1 to R14 set the counter divide ratio. The divide range is 1
(00......001) to 16383 (111......111).
A5 to A1 program the 5-bit A counter. The divide range is 0
(00000) to 31 (11111).
Antibacklash Pulse Width
Reserved Bits
DB16 and DB17 set the antibacklash pulse width.
Lock Detect Precision
DB7 is a spare bit and has been designated as Reserved. It
should be programmed to 0.
B Counter Latch
DB18 is the lock detect precision bit and sets the number of
references cycles with less than 15 ns phase error for entering
the locked state. With LDP at 1, five cycles are taken, and with
LDP at 0, three cycles are taken.
B13 to B1 program the B counter. The divide range is 3
(00.....0011) to 8191 (11....111).
Overall Divide Range
Test Mode Bit
The overall divide range is defined by ((P × B) + A), where P is
DB19 is the test mode bit (TMB) and should be set to 0. With
TMB = 0, the contents of the test mode latch are ignored and
normal operation occurs as determined by the contents of the
control latch, R counter latch, and N counter latch. Note that
test modes are for factory testing only and should not be pro-
grammed by the user.
the prescaler value.
CP Gain
DB21 of the N counter latch in the ADF4360 family is the
charge pump gain bit. When this is programmed to 1, Current
Setting 2 is used.When programmed to 0, Current Setting 1 is used.
This bit can also be programmed through DB10 of the control
latch. The bit will always reflect the latest value written to it,
whether this is through the control latch or the N counter latch.
Band Select Clock
These bits set a divider for the band select logic clock input. The
output of the R counter is by default the value used to clock the
band select logic, but if this value is too high (>1 MHz), a
divider can be switched on to divide the R counter output to a
smaller value (see Table 9).
Divide-by-2
DB22 is the divide-by-2 bit.When set to 1, the output divide-by-2
function is chosen.When it is set to 0, normal operation occurs.
Divide-by-2 Select
Reserved Bits
DB23 is the divide-by-2 select bit. When programmed to 1, the
divide-by-2 output is selected as the prescaler input. When set
to 0, the fundamental is used as the prescaler input. For exam-
ple, using the output divide-by-2 feature and a PFD frequency
of 200 kHz, the user will need a value of N = 12,000 to generate
1.2 GHz. With the divide-by-2 select bit high, the user may keep
N = 6,000.
DB23 to DB22 are spare bits and have been designated as
Reserved. They should be programmed to 0.

ADF4360-1
APPLICATIONS
DIRECT CONVERSION MODULATOR
Direct conversion architectures are increasingly being used to
implement base station transmitters. Figure 16 shows how ADI
parts can be used to implement such a system.
The LO ports of the AD8349 can be driven differentially from
the complementary RFOUTA and RFOUTB outputs of the
ADF4360-1. This gives a better performance than a single-
ended LO driver and eliminates the often necessary use of a
balun to convert from a single-ended LO input to the more
desirable differential LO inputs for the AD8349. The typical
rms phase noise (100 Hz to 100 kHz) of the LO in this
configuration is 1.09°.
The circuit block diagram shows the AD9761 TxDAC® being
used with the AD8349. The use of dual integrated DACs, such
as the AD9761 with its specified 0.02 dB and 0.004 dB gain
and offset matching characteristics, ensures minimum error
contribution (over temperature) from this portion of the
signal chain.
The AD8349 accepts LO drive levels from −10 dBm to 0 dBm.
The optimum LO power can be software programmed on the
ADF4360-1, which allows levels from −13 dBm to −6 dBm from
each output.
The local oscillator is implemented using the ADF4360-1. The
low-pass filter was designed using ADIsimPLL for a channel
spacing of 1 MHz and an open-loop bandwidth of 25 kHz. The
frequency range of the ADF4360-1 (2.05 GHz to 2.45 GHz)
makes it ideally suited for implementation of a Bluetooth®
transceiver.
The RF output is designed to drive a 50 Ω load but must be ac-
coupled, as shown in Figure 16. If the I and Q inputs are driven
in quadrature by 2 V p-p signals, the resulting output power
from the modulator will be approximately 2 dBm.

ADuC812 Interface
FIXED FREQUENCY LO
Figure 18 shows the interface between the ADF4360 family and
the ADuC812 MicroConverter®. Since the ADuC812 is based on
an 8051 core, this interface can be used with any 8051 based
microcontroller. The MicroConverter is set up for SPI master
mode with CPHA = 0. To initiate the operation, the I/O port
driving LE is brought low. Each latch of the ADF4360 family
needs a 24-bit word, which is accomplished by writing three 8-
bit bytes from the MicroConverter to the device. When the third
byte has been written, the LE input should be brought high to
complete the transfer.
Figure 17 shows the ADF4360-1 used as a fixed frequency LO at
2.2 GHz. The low-pass filter was designed using ADIsimPLL for
a channel spacing of 8 MHz and an open-loop bandwidth of
40 kHz. The maximum PFD frequency of the ADF4360-1 is
8 MHz. Since using a larger PFD frequency allows users to use a
smaller N, the in-band phase noise is reduced to as low as pos-
sible, –99 dBc/Hz. The 40 kHz bandwidth is chosen to be just
greater than the point at which the open-loop phase noise of the
VCO is –99 dBc/Hz, thus giving the best possible integrated
noise. The typical rms phase noise (100 Hz to 100 kHz) of the
LO in this configuration is 0.3°. The reference frequency is from
a 16 MHz TCXO from Fox, thus an R value of 2 is programmed.
Taking into account the high PFD frequency and its effect on
the band select logic, the band select clock divider is enabled. In
this case, a value of 8 is chosen. A very simple pull-up resistor
and dc blocking capacitor complete the RF output stage.

is 4 MHz. This means that the maximum rate at which the out-
put frequency can be changed is 166 kHz.

Figure 19 shows the interface between the ADF4360 family and
the ADSP-21xx digital signal processor. The ADF4360 family
needs a 24-bit serial word for each latch write. The easiest way
to accomplish this using the ADSP-21xx family is to use the
autobuffered transmit mode of operation with alternate fram-
ing. This provides a means for transmitting an entire block of
serial data before an interrupt is generated.

POWER-UP
After power-up, the part needs three writes for normal opera-
tion. The correct sequence is to the R counter latch, followed by
the control latch, and N counter latch.

The ADF4360 family has a simple SPI® compatible serial inter-
face for writing to the device. CLK, DATA, and LE control the
data transfer. When LE goes high, the 24 bits that have been
clocked into the appropriate register on each rising edge of CLK
will get transferred to the appropriate latch. See Figure 2 for the
timing diagram and Table 5 for the latch truth table.

Figure 19. ADSP-21xx to ADF4360-x Interface
Set up the word length for 8 bits and use three memory loca-
tions for each 24-bit word. To program each 24-bit latch, store
the 8-bit bytes, enable the autobuffered mode, and write to the
transmit register of the DSP. This last operation initiates the
autobuffer transfer.
The maximum allowable serial clock rate is 20 MHz. This
means the maximum update rate possible is 833 kHz or one
update every 1.2 microseconds. This is certainly more than ade-
quate for systems that will have typical lock times in hundreds
of microseconds.

ADF4360-1
Experiments have shown that Figure 21 provides an excellent
match to 50 Ω over the operating range of the ADF4360-1. This
gives approximately −4 dBm output power across the frequency
range of the ADF4360-1. Both single-ended architectures can be
examined using the EVAL_ADF4360-1EB1 evaluation board.
PCB DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR CHIP-SCALE PACKAGE
The leads on the chip-scale package (CP-24) are rectangular.
The printed circuit board pad for these should be 0.1 mm
longer than the package lead length and 0.05 mm wider than
the package lead width. The lead should be centered on the pad
to ensure that the solder joint size is maximized.
V
VCO
The bottom of the chip-scale package has a central thermal pad.
The thermal pad on the printed circuit board should be at least
as large as this exposed pad. On the printed circuit board, there
should be a clearance of at least 0.25 mm between the thermal
pad and the inner edges of the pad pattern to ensure that short-
ing is avoided.

Figure 21. Optimum ADF4360-1 Output Stage
If the user does not need the differential outputs available on
the ADF4360, the user may either terminate the unused output
or combine both outputs using a balun. The circuit in Figure 22
shows how best to combine the outputs.
Thermal vias may be used on the printed circuit board thermal
pad to improve thermal performance of the package. If vias are
used, they should be incorporated in the thermal pad at 1.2 mm
pitch grid. The via diameter should be between 0.3 mm and
0.33 mm, and the via barrel should be plated with 1 ounce of
copper to plug the via.

OUTPUT MATCHING
1nH
OUT
There are a number of ways to match the output of the
ADF4360-1 for optimum operation; the most basic is to use a
50 Ω resistor to VVCO. A dc bypass capacitor of 100 pF is con-
nected in series as shown Figure 20. Because the resistor is not
frequency dependent, this provides a good broadband match.
The output power in the circuit below typically gives−6 dBm
output power into a 50 Ω load.

Figure 22. Balun for Combining ADF4360-1 RF Outputs
The circuit in Figure 22 is a lumped lattice type LC balun. It is
designed for a center frequency of 2.2 GHz and outputs 1.0 dBm
at this frequency. The series 1 nH inductor is used to tune out
any parasitic capacitance due to the board layout from each
input, and the remainder of the circuit is used to shift the
output of one RF input by 90° and the second by −90°, thus
combining the two. The action of the 3.6 nH inductor and the
1.5 pF capacitor accomplish this. The 47 nH is used to provide
an RF choke in order to feed the supply voltage, and the 10 pF
capacitor provides the necessary dc block. To ensure good RF
performance, the circuits in Figure 21 and Figure 22 were im-
plemented with Coilcraft 0402/0603 inductors and AVX 0402
thin-film capacitors.

Figure 20. Simple ADF4360-1 Output Stage
A better solution is to use a shunt inductor (acting as an RF
choke) to VVCO. This gives a better match and hence more
output power. Additionally, a series inductor is added after the
dc bypass capacitor to provide a resonant LC circuit. This tunes
the oscillator output and provides approximately 10 dB addi-
tional rejection of the second harmonic. The shunt inductor
needs to be a relatively high value (>40 nH).
Alternatively, instead of the LC balun shown above, both out-
puts may be combined using a 180° rat-race coupler.
