The ADF4377 is a high performance, ultralow jitter, dual output integer-N phased locked loop (PLL) with integrated voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) ideally suited for data converter and mixed-signal front end (MxFE®) clock applications. The high-performance PLL can achieve ultralow in-band noise and integrated jitter, and the fundamental VCO and output divider generate frequencies from 800MHz to 12.8 GHz.
Key Features and Benefits
- Fundamental, native VCO connects directly to data converters, eliminating the need for filtering and amplification
- Low in-band phase noise delivers low jitter clocks for demanding data converter applications
- Easy to use multipart synchronization with outstanding low time drift over temperature
Applications
- Instrumentation and Measurement: Data acquisition systems
- Aerospace and Defense: Radar, covert communications
- Communications: 5G data converter clocking
- General Purpose: High-speed data converter clocking
Evaluation Board
The ADF4377 can be evaluated with the EV-ADF4377SD1Z.
