ADF5000
APPLICATION CIRCUIT
The ADF5000 can be connected either single-ended or differ-
entially to any of the Analog Devices PLL family of ICs. It is
recommended that a differential connection be used for best
performance and to achieve maximum power transfer. The
application circuit shown in Figure 10 shows the ADF5000
used as the RF prescaler in a microwave 12 GHz PLL loop. The
ADF5000 divides the 12 GHz RF signal down to 6 GHz, which
is input differentially into the
topology, using the
tuning ranges typically required by microwave VCOs.

The positive input pin of the OP184 is biased at half the ADF4156
charge pump supply (V
simple resistor divider, ensuring sufficient decoupling close to
the +IN A pin of the OP184. This configuration, in turn, allows
the use of a single positive supply for the op amp. Alternatively,
to optimize performance by ensuring a clean bias voltage, a low
noise regulator such as the
resistor divider network or the +IN A pin directly.
