FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
RF output frequency range: 51.5625 MHz to 6600 MHz
Fractional-N synthesizer and integer-N synthesizer
High resolution 38-bit modulus
Low phase noise, voltage controlled oscillator (VCO)
Programmable divide by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 output
All power supplies: 3.3 V
The ADF4355-3 allows the implementation of fractional-N or
integer-N phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizers when
used with an external loop filter and an external reference
frequency. A series of frequency dividers at the output provide
operation from 51.5625 MHz to 6600 MHz.
The ADF4355-3 has an integrated VCO with a fundamental
output frequency ranging from 3300 MHz to 6600 MHz. In
addition, the VCO frequency is connected to divide by 1, 2, 4, 8,
16, 32, or 64 circuits that allow the user to generate RF output
frequencies as low as 51.5625 MHz. For applications that require
isolation, the RF output stage can be muted. The mute function
is both pin- and software-controllable.
Logic compatibility: 1.8 V
Programmable dual modulus prescaler of 4/5 or 8/9
Programmable output power level
RF output mute function
3-wire serial interface
Analog and digital lock detect
APPLICATIONS
Control of all on-chip registers is through a simple 3-wire interface.
The ADF4355-3 operates with analog, digital, charge pump, and
VCO power supplies ranging from 3.1515 V to 3.4485 V. The
ADF4355-3 also contains hardware and software power-down
modes.

pins are terminated in 50 Ω.
5 Use this figure to calculate the phase noise for any application. To calculate in-band phase noise performance as seen at the VCO output, use the following formula:
−221 + 10log(fPFD) + 20logN. The value given is the lowest noise mode for the fractional channel.
6 Use this figure to calculate the phase noise for any application. To calculate in-band phase noise performance as seen at the VCO output, use the following formula:
−223 + 10log(fPFD) + 20logN. The value given is the lowest noise mode for the integer channel.
7 The PLL phase noise is composed of 1/f (flicker) noise plus the normalized PLL noise floor. The formula for calculating the 1/f noise contribution at an RF frequency (fRF
and at a frequency offset (f) is given by PN = P1_f + 10log(10 kHz/f) + 20log(fRF/1 GHz). Both the normalized phase noise floor and flicker noise are modeled in the
ADIsimPLL™ design tool.

THEORY OF OPERATION
INT, FRACx, MODx, and R Counter Relationship
REFERENCE INPUT SECTION
The INT, FRAC1, FRAC2, MOD1, and MOD2 values, in
conjunction with the R counter, make it possible to generate
output frequencies that are spaced by fractions of the PFD
frequency (fPFD). For more information, see the RF Synthesizer—
A Worked Example section.
Figure 18 shows the reference input section of the ADF4355-3.
The reference input can accept both single-ended and differential
signals. Use the reference mode bit (Register 4, Bit DB9) to select
the signal. To use a differential signal on the reference input, program
this bit high. In this case, SW1 and SW2 are open, SW3 and SW4
are closed, and the current source that drives the differential pair
of transistors switches on. The differential signal is buffered, and
it is provided to an emitter coupled logic (ECL) to a CMOS
converter. When a single-ended signal is the reference, connect
the reference signal to REFINA and program Bit DB9 in Register 4
to 0. In this case, SW1 and SW2 are closed, SW3 and SW4 are
open, and the current source that drives the differential pair of
transistors switches off. Single-ended mode results in lower integer
boundary spurs.
Calculate the RF VCO frequency (VCOOUT) by
VCOOUT = fPFD × N
where:
(1)
VCOOUT is the output frequency of the VCO (without using the
output divider).

PFD is the frequency of the phase frequency detector.
N is the desired value of the feedback counter, N.

INT N Mode
When FRAC1 and FRAC2 = 0, the synthesizer operates in

INPUT SHIFT REGISTERS
The ADF4355-3 digital section includes a 10-bit R counter, a
16-bit RF integer-N counter, a 24-bit FRAC1 counter, a 14-bit
auxiliary fractional counter, and a 14-bit auxiliary modulus
counter. Data clocks into the 32-bit shift register on each rising
edge of CLK. The data clocks in MSB first. Data transfers from
the shift register to one of 13 latches on the rising edge of LE.
The state of the four control bits (C4, C3, C2, and C1) in the
shift register determines the destination latch. As shown in
Figure 2, the four least significant bits (LSBs) are DB3, DB2,
DB1, and DB0. The truth table for these bits is shown in Table 5.
Figure 24 and Figure 25 summarize the programing of the latches.
R Counter
The 10-bit R counter allows the input reference frequency
(REFIN) to be divided down to produce the reference clock to
the PFD. Division ratios from 1 to 1023 are allowed.
PHASE FREQUENCY DETECTOR (PFD) AND
CHARGE PUMP
The PFD takes inputs from the R counter and N counter and
produces an output proportional to the phase and frequency
difference between them. Figure 20 is a simplified schematic of
the phase frequency detector. The PFD includes a fixed delay
element that sets the width of the antibacklash pulse. This pulse
ensures that there is no dead zone in the PFD transfer function
and provides a consistent reference spur level. Set the phase
detector polarity to positive on this device because of the
positive tuning of the VCO.

PROGRAM MODES
Table 5 and Figure 24 through Figure 38 show the program
modes that must be set up in the ADF4355-3.
The following settings in the ADF4355-3 are double buffered:
main fractional value (FRAC1), auxiliary modulus value (MOD2),
auxiliary fractional value (FRAC2), reference doubler, reference
divide by 2 (RDIV2), phase value, R counter value, and charge
pump current setting. Two events must occur before the
ADF4355-3 uses a new value for any of the double buffered
settings. First, the new value must latch into the device by writing
to the appropriate register, and second, a new write to Register 0
must be performed.

For example, to ensure that the modulus value loads correctly,
every time the modulus value updates, Register 0 must be
written to. The RF divider select in Register 6 is also double
buffered, but only when DB14 of Register 4 is high.
Figure 22. KV vs. VCO Frequency
OUTPUT STAGE
The RFOUTA+ and RFOUTA− pins of the ADF4355-3 connect to
the collectors of an NPN differential pair driven by buffered
outputs of the VCO, as shown in Figure 23. In this scheme, the
ADF4355-3 contains internal 50 Ω resistors connected to the
VCO
The VCO core in the ADF4355-3 consists of four separate VCOs,
each of which uses 256 overlapping bands, which allows covering
a wide frequency range without a large VCO sensitivity (KV) and
without resulting poor phase noise and spurious performance.
V
RF pin. To optimize the power dissipation vs. the output
power requirements, the tail current of the differential pair is
programmable using Bits[DB5:DB4] in Register 6. Four current
levels can be set. These levels give the approximate output power
levels of −4 dBm, −1 dBm, +2 dBm, and +5 dBm, respectively,
using a 50 Ω resistor to VRF and ac coupling into a 50 Ω load. For
accurate power levels, see the Typical Performance Characteristics
section. Add an external shunt inductor to provide higher power
levels; however, this is less wideband than the internal bias only.
Terminate the unused complementary output with a similar
circuit to the used output.
The correct VCO and band are chosen automatically by the VCO
and band select logic when Register 0 is updated and autocalibra-
tion is enabled. The VCO VTUNE is disconnected from the output of
the loop filter and is connected to an internal reference voltage.
The R counter output is the clock for the band select logic. After
band selection, normal PLL action resumes. The nominal value
of KV is 63 MHz/V when the N divider is driven from the VCO
output, or the KV value is divided by D. D is the output divider
value if the N divider is driven from the RF output divider
(chosen by programming Bits[D23:D21] in Register 6).

The VCO shows the variation of KV as the tuning voltage, VTUNE
varies within the band and from band to band. For wideband
applications covering a wide frequency range (and changing
output dividers), a value of 63 MHz/V provides the most accurate
KV, because this value is closest to the average value. Figure 22

shows how KV varies with fundamental VCO frequency along with
an average value for the frequency band. Users may prefer this
figure when using narrow-band designs.
Figure 23. Output Stage
Another feature of the ADF4355-3 is that the supply current to
the output stages can shut down until the ADF4355-3 achieves
lock as measured by the digital lock detect circuitry. The mute until
lock detect (MTLD) bit (Bit DB11) in Register 6 enables this
function.
The RFOUTB+/RFOUTB− pins are duplicate outputs that can be
used independently or in addition to the RFOUTA+/RFOUTA− pins.

Use only passive loop filters. For information on designing a
loop filter, use the ADIsimPLL design tool.

Figure 26. Register 0
Prescaler Value
The dual modulus prescaler (P/P + 1), along with the INT,
REGISTER 0
Control Bits
FRACx, and MODx counters, determines the overall division
ratio from the VCO output to the PFD input. The PR1 bit
(Bit DB20) in Register 0 sets the prescaler value.
With Bits[C4:C1] set to 0000, Register 0 is programmed. Figure 26
shows the input data format for programming this register.
Reserved
Operating at CML levels, the prescaler takes the clock from the
VCO output and divides it down for the counters. It is based on
a synchronous 4/5 core. The prescaler limits the INT value;
therefore, if P is 4/5, INTMIN is 23, and if P is 8/9, INTMIN is 75.
Bits[DB31:DB22] are reserved and must be set to 0.
Automatic Calibration (Autocal)
Write to Register 0 to enact (by default) the VCO automatic
calibration, and to choose the appropriate VCO and VCO
subband. Write 1 to the AC1 bit (Bit DB21) to enable the
automatic calibration, which is the recommended mode of
operation.
16-Bit Integer Value
The 16 INT bits (Bits[DB19:DB4]) set the INT value, which
determines the integer part of the feedback division factor. The
INT value is used in Equation 3 (see the RF Synthesizer—A
Worked Example section). All integer values from 23 to 32,767
are allowed for the 4/5 prescaler. For the 8/9 prescaler, the
minimum integer value is 75, and the maximum value is 65,535.
Set the AC1 bit to 0 to disable the automatic calibration, which
leaves the ADF4355-3 in the same band it is already in when
Register 0 is updated.
Disable the automatic calibration only for fixed frequency
applications, phase adjust applications, or very small (<10 kHz)
frequency jumps.

REGISTER 3
Control Bits
With Bits[C4:C1] set to 0011, Register 3 is programmed. Figure 29
shows the input data format for programming this register.
Phase Adjustment
To adjust the relative output phase of the ADF4355-3 on each
Register 0 update, set the PA1 bit (Bit DB28) to 1. This feature
differs from the resynchronization feature in that it is useful when
adjustments to phase are made continually in an application.
For this function, disable the VCO automatic calibration by
setting the AC1 bit (Bit DB21) in Register 0 to 1, and disable the
SD load reset by setting the SD1 bit (Bit DB30) in Register 3 to
1. Note that phase resync and phase adjustment cannot be used
simultaneously.
Reserved
Bit DB31 is reserved and must be set to 0.
SD Load Reset
When writing to Register 0, the Σ-Δ (SD) modulator resets. For
applications in which the phase is continually adjusted, this
reset may not be desirable; therefore, in these cases, the Σ-Δ
reset can be disabled by writing a 1 to the SD1 bit (Bit DB30).
Phase Resync
24-Bit Phase Value
To use the phase resynchronization feature, the PR1 bit (Bit DB29)
must be set to 1. If unused, the bit can be programmed to 0. The
phase resync timer must also be used in Register 12 to ensure
that the resynchronization feature is applied after the PLL settles to
the final frequency. If the PLL has not settled to the final frequency,
phase resync may not function correctly. Resynchronization is
useful in phased array and beam forming applications. It ensures
repeatability of output phase when programming the same
frequency. In phase critical applications that use frequencies
requiring the output divider (<3300 MHz), it is necessary to
feed the N divider with the divided VCO frequency as distinct
from the fundamental VCO frequency, which is achieved by
programming the D13 bit (Bit DB24) in Register 6 to 0, which
ensures divided feedback to the N divider.
The phase of the RF output frequency can be adjusted in 24-bit
steps; from 0° (0) to 360° (224 − 1). For phase adjustment
applications, the phase is set by
(Phase Value/16,777,216) × 360°
(7)
When the phase value is programmed to Register 3, each
subsequent adjustment of Register 0 increments the phase by
the value in this equation.

REGISTER 4
Control Bits
RDIV2
With Bits[C4:C1] set to 0100, Register 4 is programmed. Figure 30
shows the input data format for programming this register.
Setting the RDIV2 bit (Bit DB25) to 1 inserts a divide by 2
toggle flip-flop between the R counter and PFD, which halves
the reference frequency to the PFD. This function provides a
50% duty cycle signal at the PFD input.
Reserved
Bits[DB31:DB30] are reserved and must be set to 0.
MUXOUT
10-Bit R Counter
The on-chip multiplexer (MUXOUT) is controlled by
Bits[DB29:DB27]. For additional details, see Figure 30.
The 10-bit R counter divides the input reference frequency
(REFIN) to produce the reference clock to the PFD. Division
ratios range from 1 to 1023.
When changing frequency, that is, writing R0, MUXOUT must
not be set to the N divider output or the R divider output. If
needed, enable these functions after locking to the new frequency.
Double Buffer
The D1 bit (Bit DB14) enables or disables double buffering of
the RF divider select bits (Bits[DB23:DB21]) in Register 6. The
Program Modes section explains double buffering further.
Reference Doubler
Setting the RD2 bit (Bit DB26) to 0 feeds the REFIN signal directly
to the 10-bit R counter, disabling the doubler. Setting this bit to
1 multiplies the reference frequency by a factor of 2 before feeding
it into the 10-bit R counter. When the doubler is disabled, the
REFIN falling edge is the active edge at the PFD input to the
fractional synthesizer. When the doubler is enabled, both the rising
and falling edges of the reference frequency become active edges
at the PFD input.
Charge Pump Current Setting
The CP4 to CP1 bits (Bits[DB13:DB10]) set the charge pump
current. Set this value to the charge pump current that the loop
filter is designed with (see Figure 30). For the lowest spurs, the
0.9 mA setting is recommended.
Rev. B | Page 22 of 34
Data Sheet
ADF4355-3
Reference Mode
When power-down activates, the following events occur:
The ADF4355-3 permits the use of either differential or single-
ended reference sources. For differential sources, set the reference
mode bit (Bit DB9) to 1, and for single-ended sources, set it to 0.
Single-ended mode results in lower integer boundary spurs. If
only a differential signal is available, REFINB can be left floating
to get the integer boundary spur improvements (provided that
the frequency and power meets the single-ended requirements
shown in Table 1).
•
The synthesizer counters are forced to their load state
conditions.
The VCO powers down.
The charge pump is forced into three-state mode.
The digital lock detect circuitry resets.
The RFOUTA+/RFOUTA− and RFOUTB+/RFOUTB− output
stages are disabled.
The input registers remain active and capable of loading
and latching data.

Level Select
To assist with logic compatibility, MUXOUT is programmable to
two logic levels. Set the U5 bit (Bit DB8) to 0 to select 1.8 V
logic, and set it to 1 to select 3.3 V logic.
Charge Pump Three-State
Setting the U2 bit (Bit DB5) to 1 puts the charge pump into
three-state mode. Set DB5 to 0 for normal operation.
Phase Detector Polarity
Counter Reset
The U4 bit (Bit DB7) sets the phase detector polarity. Set DB7
to 1. Active filters are not supported.
The U1 bit (Bit DB4) resets the R counter, N counter, and VCO
band selection of the ADF4355-3. When DB4 is set to 1, the RF
synthesizer N counter and R counter and the VCO band
selection are reset. For normal operation, set DB4 to 0.
Power-Down
The U3 bit (Bit DB6) sets the programmable power-down mode.
Setting DB6 to 1 performs a power-down. Setting DB6 to 0 returns
the synthesizer to normal operation. In software power-down
mode, the ADF4355-3 retains all information in its registers. The
register contents are lost only if the supply voltages are removed.
REGISTER 5
The bits in Register 5 are reserved and must be programmed as
described in Figure 31, using a hexadecimal word of 0x00800005.

Bits[DB28:DB25] are reserved and must be set to 1010.
Control Bits
With Bits[C4:C1] set to 0110, Register 6 is programmed. Figure 32
shows the input data format for programming this register.
Feedback Select
D13 (Bit DB24) selects the feedback from the output of the
VCO to the N counter. When D13 is set to 1, the signal is taken
directly from the VCO. When this bit is set to 0, the signal is
taken from the output of the output dividers. The dividers
enable coverage of the wide frequency band (51.5625 MHz to
6.6 GHz). When the divider is enabled and the feedback signal is
taken from the output, the RF output signals of two separately
configured PLLs are in phase. Divided feedback is useful in
some applications where the positive interference of signals is
required to increase the power.
Reserved
Bit DB31 is reserved and must be set to 0.
Gated Bleed
Bleed currents can improve phase noise and spurs. However,
due to a potential impact on lock time, the gated bleed bit, BL10
(Bit DB30), if set to 1, ensures bleed currents are not switched
on until the digital lock detect asserts logic high. Note that this
function requires digital lock detection to be enabled.
Negative Bleed
Divider Select
Use of constant negative bleed is recommended for most
applications because it improves the linearity of the charge
pump, leading to lower noise and spurious performance than
leaving constant negative bleed off. To enable negative bleed,
write 1 to BL9 (Bit DB29), and to disable negative bleed, write 0
to BL9 (Bit DB29). Use negative bleed only when operating in
fractional-N mode, that is, FRAC1 or FRAC2 not equal to 0.
D12 to D10 (Bits[DB23:DB21]) select the value of the RF output
divider (see Figure 32). These bits are buffered by a write to
Register 0 when Bit DB14 of Register 4 is high.

RF Output Enable
Bit DB6 enables or disables the primary RF output (RFOUTA+/

Loss of Lock (LOL) Mode
REGISTER 7
Set LOL (Bit DB7) to 1 when the application is a fixed frequency
application in which the reference (REFIN) is likely to be removed,
such as a clocking application. The standard lock detect circuit
assumes that REFIN is always present; however, this may not be
the case with clocking applications. To enable this functionality,
set Bit DB7 to 1. Loss of lock mode does not function reliably
when using differential REFIN mode.
Control Bits
With Bits[C4:C1] set to 0111, Register 7 is programmed. Figure 33
shows the input data format for programming this register.
Reserved
Bits[DB31:DB29] and Bits[DB27:DB26] are reserved and must
be set to 0. Bit DB28 is reserved and must be set to 1.
LE Sync
Fractional-N Lock Detect Precision (LDP)
When set to 1, Bit DB25 ensures that the load enable (LE) edge
is synchronized internally with the rising edge of the reference
input frequency. This synchronization prevents the rare event of
reference and RF dividers loading at the same time as a falling
edge of reference frequency, which can lead to longer lock times.
LD3 and LD2 (Bits[DB6:DB5]) set the precision of the lock detect
circuitry in fractional-N mode. LDP is available at 5.0 ns, 6.0 ns,
8.0 ns, or 12.0 ns. If bleed currents are used, use 12.0 ns.
Lock Detect Mode (LDM)
If LD1 (Bit DB4) is set to 0, each reference cycle is set by the
fractional-N lock detect precision as described in the
Fractional-N Lock Detect Count (LDC) section. If DB4 is
set to 1, each reference cycle is 2.9 ns long, which is more
appropriate for integer-N applications.
Reserved
Bits[DB24:DB10] are reserved and must be set to 0.
Fractional-N Lock Detect Count (LDC)
LD5 and LD4 (Bits[DB9:DB8]) set the number of consecutive
cycles counted by the lock detect circuitry before asserting lock
detect high. See Figure 33 for details.

ADC Conversion Clock (ADC_CLK_DIV)
An on-board analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is connected to
a temperature sensor. It determines the VTUNE setpoint relative
to the ambient temperature of the ADF4355-3 environment.
The ADC ensures that the initial tuning voltage in any application
is chosen correctly to avoid any temperature drift issues.

AE1 (Bit DB4), when set to 1, powers up the ADC for the
temperature dependent VTUNE calibration. It is recommended to
always use this function.
The ADC uses a clock that is equal to the output of the R
counter (or the PFD frequency) divided by ADC_CLK_DIV.

REFERENCE DOUBLER AND REFERENCE DIVIDER
The on-chip reference doubler allows the input reference signal
to be doubled. The doubler is useful for increasing the PFD
comparison frequency. To improve the noise performance of
the system, increase the PFD frequency. Doubling the PFD
frequency typically improves noise performance by 3 dB.

SPURIOUS OPTIMIZATION AND FAST LOCK
LOCK TIME
Narrow loop bandwidths can filter unwanted spurious signals,
but these bandwidths usually have a long lock time. A wider
loop bandwidth achieves faster lock times but may lead to
increased spurious signals inside the loop bandwidth.
The PLL lock time divides into a number of settings. All of
these settings are modeled in the ADIsimPLL design tool.
Much faster lock times than those detailed in this data sheet are
possible; contact Analog Devices, Inc., for more information.
OPTIMIZING JITTER
Synthesizer Lock Timeout
For lowest jitter applications, use the highest possible PFD
frequency to minimize the contribution of in-band noise from
the PLL. Set the PLL filter bandwidth such that the in-band noise
of the PLL intersects with the open-loop noise of the VCO,
minimizing the contribution of both to the overall noise.
The synthesizer lock timeout ensures that the VCO calibration
DAC, which forces VTUNE, settles to a steady value for the band
select circuitry.
The timeout and synthesizer lock timeout variables programmed
in Register 9 select the length of time the DAC is allowed to
settle to the final voltage before the VCO calibration process
continues to the next phase, which is VCO band selection. The
PFD frequency is used as the clock for this logic, and the
duration is set by
Use the ADIsimPLL design tool for this task.
SPUR MECHANISMS
This section describes the two different spur mechanisms that
arise with a fractional-N synthesizer and how to minimize them
in the ADF4355-3.
(Timeout × Synthesizer Lock Timeout)/fPFD
The calculated time must be greater than or equal to 20 µs.
VCO Band Selection
(17)
Integer Boundary Spurs
One mechanism for fractional spur creation is the interactions
between the RF VCO frequency and the reference frequency.
When these frequencies are not integer related (the purpose of a
fractional-N synthesizer), spur sidebands appear on the VCO
output spectrum at an offset frequency that corresponds to the
beat note or the difference in frequency between an integer
multiple of the reference and the VCO frequency. These spurs
are attenuated by the loop filter and are more noticeable on
channels close to integer multiples of the reference where the
difference frequency can be inside the loop bandwidth (thus
the name, integer boundary spurs).
Use the PFD frequency again as the clock for the band selection
process. Calculate this value by
fPFD/(VCO Band Selection × 16) < 150 kHz
(18)
The band selection takes 11 cycles of the previously calculated
value. Calculate the duration by
11 × (VCO Band Selection × 16)/fPFD
(19)
PLL Low-Pass Filter Settling Time
The time taken for the loop to settle is inversely proportional to
the low-pass filter bandwidth. The settling time is also modeled
in the ADIsimPLL design tool.
Reference Spurs
Reference spurs are generally not a problem in fractional-N
synthesizers because the reference offset is far outside the loop
bandwidth. However, any reference feedthrough mechanism
that bypasses the loop may cause a problem. Feedthrough of
low levels of on-chip reference switching noise, through the
prescaler back to the VCO, can result in reference spur levels
as high as −80 dBc.
The total lock time for changing frequencies is the sum of the
three separate times (synthesizer lock, VCO band selection, and
PLL settling time), all of which are modeled in the ADIsimPLL
design tool.

ADF4355-3
Data Sheet
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LO ports of the ADL5375 can be driven differentially from
the complementary RFOUTA+/RFOUTA− outputs of the ADF4355-3.
A differential drive gives better second-order distortion perfor-
mance than a single-ended LO driver and eliminates the use of
a balun to convert from a single-ended LO input to the more
desirable differential LO input for the ADL5375.
DIRECT CONVERSION MODULATOR
Direct conversion architectures are used to implement base station
transmitters. Figure 40 shows how to use Analog Devices devices to
implement such a system.
The circuit block diagram shows the AD9761 TxDAC® being
used with the ADL5375. The use of a dual integrated DAC, such
as the AD9761, ensures minimum error contribution (over
temperature) from this portion of the signal chain.
The ADL5375 accepts LO drive levels from −6 dBm to +6 dBm.
The optimum LO power can be software programmed on the
ADF4355-3, which allows levels from −4 dBm to +5 dBm from
each output.
The local oscillator (LO) is implemented using the ADF4355-3.
The low-pass filter was designed using the ADIsimPLL design
tool for a PFD of 61.44 MHz and a closed-loop bandwidth of
20 kHz.
The RF output is designed to drive a 50 Ω load; however, it
must be ac-coupled, as shown in Figure 40. If the I and Q inputs
are driven in quadrature by 2 V p-p signals, the resulting output
power from the ADL5375 modulator is approximately 2 dBm.

ADF4355-3
Take care with the RF output traces to minimize discontinuities
and ensure the best signal integrity. Via placement and grounding
are critical.
POWER SUPPLIES
The ADF4355-3 contains four multiband VCOs that together cover
an octave range of frequencies. To ensure best performance, it is
vital to connect a low noise regulator, such as the ADM7150, to
the VVCO pin. Connect the same regulator to VVCO, VREGVCO, VRF,
and VP.
OUTPUT MATCHING
The low frequency output can simply be ac-coupled to the next
circuit, if desired; however, if higher output power is required,
use a pull-up inductor to increase the output power level.
For the 3.3 V supply pins, use one or two ADM7150 regulators.
Figure 42 shows the recommended connections.

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) DESIGN
GUIDELINES FOR A CHIP-SCALE PACKAGE
RF
A+
OUT
50Ω
The lands on the 32-lead lead frame chip-scale package are rectan-
gular. The PCB pad for these lands must be 0.1 mm longer than the
package land length and 0.05 mm wider than the package land
width. Center each land on the pad to maximize the solder joint size.
Figure 41. Optimum Output Stage
When differential outputs are not needed, terminate the unused
output or combine it with both outputs using a balun.
The bottom of the chip-scale package has a central exposed thermal
pad. The thermal pad on the PCB must be at least as large as the
exposed pad. On the PCB, there must be a minimum clearance of
0.25 mm between the thermal pad and the inner edges of the
pad pattern. This clearance ensures the avoidance of shorting.
For lower frequencies below 2 GHz, it is recommended to use a
100 nH inductor on the RFOUTA+/RFOUTA− pins.
The RFOUTA+/RFOUTA− pins are a differential circuit. Provide
each output with the same (or similar) components where
possible, such as the same shunt inductor value, bypass
capacitor, and termination.
To improve the thermal performance of the package, use thermal
vias on the PCB thermal pad. If vias are used, incorporate them
into the thermal pad at the 1.2 mm pitch grid. The via diameter
must be between 0.3 mm and 0.33 mm, and the via barrel must
be plated with 1 oz. of copper to plug the via.
The auxiliary frequency output, RFOUTB+/RFOUTB−, can be
treated the same as the RFOUTA+/RFOUTA− output. If unused,
leave both RFOUTB+/RFOUTB− pins open.
For a microwave PLL and VCO synthesizer, such as the ADF4355-3,
take care with the board stack-up and layout. Do not use FR4
material because it is too lossy above 3 GHz. Instead, Rogers 4350,
Rogers 4003, or Rogers 3003 dielectric material is suitable.
