Analog Devices' New Microwave PLL Synthesizer Eliminates Frequency-Doubling in Broadband, Point-to-Point and
Multipoint Wireless Applications
 NORWOOD,
Mass.--( BUSINESS WIRE)-- Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a
global leader in high-performance signal processing technology and leading provider of RF ICs, today introduced a
PLL (phase-locked loop) frequency synthesizer that can be used to implement local oscillators as high as 18 GHz in
the up-conversion and down-conversion sections of wireless receivers and transmitters. The exceptionally high
bandwidth of the
ADF41020 allows designers to potentially eliminate a
frequency-doubler stage, which simplifies system architecture and reduces cost in applications including microwave
point-to-point and multi-point radios, wireless infrastructure equipment, VSAT (very small aperture terminal)
radios, semiconductor test equipment, radar applications and private mobile radios. With an operating bandwidth up
to 18GHz, this represents the highest frequency PLL available on the market today. - Download data sheet,

“The ADF41020 PLL is the latest
addition to ADI’s leading portfolio of phase locked loop synthesizers and extends our portfolio into higher
frequency ranges,” said Peter Real, vice president, Linear and RF products, Analog Devices. “This new PLL helps
significantly reduces component count and system cost while continuously improving performance in next-generation
radio designs.”
The ADF41020 PLL frequency synthesizer consists of a low noise, digital phase frequency
detector, a precision charge pump, a programmable reference divider and high-frequency programmable feedback
dividers. A complete synthesizer can be implemented if the PLL is used with an external loop filter and VCO
(voltage controlled oscillator). The PLL can be used to drive external microwave VCOs via an active loop filter.
The pin-out matches very closely the pinout of the ADF4106/7/8 family of integer-N PLLs, meaning only a minor
layout change is required when updating a design to take advantage of the much wider bandwidth.
