It is charge pump supply (VP). This can be easily achieved using a recommended that a differential connection be used for best simple resistor divider, ensuring sufficient decoupling close to performance and to achieve maximum power transfer. The the +IN A pin of the OP184. This configuration, in turn, allows application circuit shown in Figure 10 shows the ADF5000 the use of a single positive supply for the op amp. Alternatively, used as the RF prescaler in a microwave 12 GHz PLL loop. The to optimize performance by ensuring a clean bias voltage, a low ADF5000 divides the 12 GHz RF signal down to 6 GHz, which noise regulator such as the ADP150 can be used to power the is input differentially into the ADF4156 PLL. An active filter resistor divider network or the +IN A pin directly. topology, using the OP184 op amp, is used to provide the wide tuning ranges typically required by microwave VCOs. 1.8nF10pF0.1µF330Ω47nFVDD1VDD2ADF4156DECOUPLINGPLLINTEGRATEDADF5000RFOUTRFINA220ΩRFINCPPRESCALER1kΩOP184VRFOUTRFP/2INBOP AMP820pFGND1µF1.8nFMICROWAVE6dB ATTENUATION PADVCO18ΩRFOUTVTUNE37Ω150Ω150Ω18Ω 010 12GHz OUT 09129- Figure 10.
