Analog Devices Expands its Microwave IC Product Portfolio with New Family of High-Performance Voltage Controlled Oscillators
29 October 2012 - 11:00PM
Business Wire
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) today introduced a new family of
microwave ICs, the ADF55xx series voltage controlled oscillators
(VCOs), for point-to-point (PtP), instrumentation/ test equipment
and satellite communication applications. Featuring the industry’s
leading phase-noise performance, the new ADF55xx VCO series covers
a frequency range from 3.5 GHz to 13.9 GHz, offers a wide frequency
tuning range and can be optimized for power consumption, phase
noise and power output. With reference design evaluation boards
available comprising PLL, active loop filter, power management and
microwave VCO, the new family fully complements ADI’s leading PLL
synthesizer portfolio. The new VCO series debuts with six devices
and is showcased this week at Analog Devices Booth 221.

The new microwave IC series comprises six parts: ADF5508,
ADF5509, ADF5510, ADF5530, ADF5582 and ADF5584. Designed with GaAs
MMIC technology, the new ADF55xx VCOs utilize a push-push VCO
architecture which can generate both the main output as well as the
half-frequency output. The devices feature best-in-class VCO
phase-noise performance of –116 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset at 8 GHz,
which allows these parts to meet the demanding requirements of
applications such as microwave PtP communications links. The VCO
family offer a unique approach which allows optimization of power
consumption, phase noise and signal power output for a particular
customer application. The parts can also operate from a 3V supply
and, with appropriate setup, can deliver over 50% reduction in
power consumption compared to competitor parts with less than 1dB
change in phase noise. The VCOs are packaged in small 32-lead 5-mm
x 5-mm LFCSP.

The ADF55xx VCO series can be easily designed into circuits for
microwave applications in conjunction with ADI’s PLL parts such as
the ADF4156, ADF4108, ADF4150HV, ADF4159 and ADF41020. ADI offers
specific evaluation board reference design for the ADF4108 (8-GHz
integer-N PLL) and ADF4159 (13-GHz fractional-N PLL) into which any
member of this VCO series can be placed. These boards have been
fully characterized for closed loop operation and evaluated for
phase hit immunity over temperature.
