GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This evaluation board allows the user to evaluate the performance
of the ADF41XXBRUZ frequency synthesizers, which are available
in 16-lead TSSOP packages. The
SDP-S controller board allows
software programming of the frequency synthesizer. Figure 1
shows the board, which contains footprints for a frequency
synthesizer, the power supplies, a TCXO reference, and an RF
output. There are also footprints for the passive PLL loop filter
components, a VCO, and an external reference SMA input.
The PLL loop filter values can be generated from the Analog
Devices, Inc.,
ADIsimPLL software tool. Prior to evaluation
setup, the ADF41XXBRUZ, T-package VCO, and loop filter
components should be inserted on the board.
Figure 1 shows the board with all necessary components inserted.
