USING THE ADF4007 AS A DIVIDER
In addition to its use as a standard PLL synthesizer, the ADF4007
can also be used as a high frequency counter/divider with a value
of 8, 16, 32, or 64.This can prove useful in a wide variety of
applications where a higher frequency signal is readily available.
Figure 14 shows the ADF4007 used in this manner with the
ADF4360-7.
This part is an integrated synthesizer and VCO, in this case
operating over a range of 1200 MHz to 1500 MHz. With divide-
by-8 chosen in the ADF4007 (N2 = 0, N1 = 0), the output range
is 150 MHz to 187.50 MHz.
