ADF4368BCCZ

ADF4368BCCZ is a microwave wideband synthesizer with integrated VCO. It is a high performance, ultra-low jitter, integer-N and fractional-N phase-locked loop (PLL) with integrated VCO ideally suited for frequency conversion applications. For multiple frequency conversion applications, such as phase array radar or massive MIMO systems, the outputs of multiple ADF4368 can be aligned by using the SYNC input or EZSync™. The EZSync method is used when it is difficult to distribute the SYNC signal to all devices precisely. For applications that require deterministic delay or delay adjustment capability, a programmable reference to output delay with <1ps resolution is provided. The reference to output delay is guaranteed across multiple devices and temperature, allowing for predictable and precise multichip alignment. Typical applications include wireless infrastructure (MC-GSM, 5G), test and measurement, aerospace and defence.
