GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
EV-ADF4355-2SD1Z
evaluates the performance of the
ADF4355-2
frequency synthesizer with integrated VCO for
phase-locked loops (PLLs). A photograph of the evaluation
board is shown in Figure 1. The evaluation board contains the
ADF4355-2
frequency synthesizer with integrated VCO, a
differential 122.88 MHz reference (TCXO), a loop filter, a USB
interface, power supply connectors, and subminiature Version
A (SMA) connectors. A USB cable is included to connect the
board to a PC USB port.
For easy programming of the synthesizer, download the
Windows-based software from
www.analog.com/ADF4355-2
.
This board requires an
SDP-S
(shown in Figure 1, but not
supplied with the kit). The
SDP-S
allows software programming
of the
EV-ADF4355-2SD1Z
device.
