Hardware Overview

The Evaluation Platform consists of the Eval-ADF7XXXMB3Z mother board to which an appropriate daughter card may

be connected. The available daughter cards are given in Table 1. Schematics for the daughter cards are given in the

ADF7023 Evaluation Board Schematics and BOMs

section of this document.

The mother board may be powered via the USB cable supplied. The 5V from the USB cable is regulated down to 3.3 V for

the Cypress EZ USB IC, the ADuC7020 microcontroller and the ADF7023 transceiver. Alternatively a battery may be used

to power the microcontroller and transceiver. A 3.6V battery is shipped with the boards.
