Analog Devices claims widest continuous RF output range

Author: EIS Release Date: Sep 20, 2019


Mouser Electronics is now stocking Analog Devices Inc’s ADF4371 and ADF4372 microwave wideband synthesizers. The ADF4371 delivers a continuous RF output range of 62MHz to 32GHz, the widest currently available according to the firm, while the ADF4372 operates at 62MHz to 16GHz for designs that don’t require the higher frequency.

Analog Devices’ ADF4371 and ADF4372 microwave wideband synthesizers, available from Mouser Electronics, consist of a phase-locked loop with fully integrated voltage-controlled oscillators, low-dropout regulators, and tracking filter technology.

The devices feature a jitter of 36fs at 10GHz and allow the implementation of high-resolution fractional-N or integer-N PLL frequency synthesizers when used with an external loop filter and an external reference source.

The 7×7mm synthesizers are suitable for RF applications such as wireless infrastructure equipment (multicarrier global system for mobile communication (MC-GSM; 5G), test equipment and instrumentation, clock generation, and aerospace and defense-based designs.

For development, the devices are supported by corresponding evaluation boards and an SDP-S Controller Board, also available from Mouser.
