Working Principles

The ADF4116BRU-REEL7 operates based on the principle of phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesis. It takes an input reference frequency and divides it using a programmable divider. The divided frequency is then compared with the desired output frequency, and any phase or frequency difference is detected by the phase detector. The charge pump generates a control voltage that adjusts the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) frequency to match the desired output frequency. This feedback loop ensures that the output frequency remains locked and stable.
