The positive input pin of tially to any of the Analog Devices PLL family of ICs. It is recom- the OP184 is biased at half the ADF4156 charge pump supply mended to use a differential connection for best performance (VP). This can be easily achieved using a simple resistor divider, and to achieve maximum power transfer. The application circuit ensuring sufficient decoupling close to the +IN A pin of the shown in Figure 10 shows the ADF5001 used as the RF prescaler OP184 thereby allowing the use of a single positive supply for the in a microwave 16 GHz PLL loop. The ADF5001 divides down op amp. Alternatively, to optimize performance by ensuring a the 16 GHz RF signal to 4 GHz, which is input differentially clean bias voltage, a low noise regulator like the ADP150 can be into the ADF4156 PLL. An active filter topology, using the used to power the resistor divider network or the +IN A pin OP184 op amp, is used to provide the wide tuning ranges directly. 1.8nF10pF0.1µF330Ω47nFVDD1VDD2ADF4156DECOUPLINGPLLINTEGRATEDADF5001RFOUTRFINA220ΩRFINCPPRESCALER1kΩOP184RFOUTRFVP/2INBOP AMP820pFGND1µF1.8nFMICROWAVE6dB PADVCO37Ω18ΩRFOUTVTUNE150Ω150Ω18Ω 10 0 2- 40 16GHz OUT 08 Figure 10.
