The ADF4113HVBCPZ is a PLL-based clock/frequency synthesizer from Analog Devices, designed for RF local-oscillator generation in wireless infrastructure, test equipment, and satellite downconverters. Its 4 GHz maximum frequency covers the L-band through C-band, making it a natural fit for base-station VCOs and microwave link PLLs. The part accepts CMOS or TTL reference inputs and delivers a single-ended clock output.
Supply voltage and temperature range — BOM-fit details
The supply voltage spans 2.7V to 5.5V, which means it can run from a 3.3V or 5V rail without an extra regulator — handy when the board already has a 3.3V LDO for the MCU. The 2:1 input-to-output ratio lets you feed two reference sources and select one; the differential input option helps reject common-mode noise on long clock traces.
Package and footprint — what to expect on the board
The part comes in a 20-lead LFCSP with exposed pad, 4x4 mm body. The exposed paddle needs a thermal via array under the pad to pull heat into the ground plane.
