GENERAL DESCRIPTION
evaluation board allows the user to
evaluate the performance of the
frequency synthesizer
for phase-locked loops (PLLs). Figure 1 shows the board, which
contains the
synthesizer, an SMA connector for the
reference input, the power supplies, a USB interface, and the RF
outputs. There is also an active loop filter and a VCO on board. The
user has the option of using an alternate loop filter and VCO by
connecting the board to the following SMA connectors: VTUNE
and CPOUT. The evaluation kit contains software that is com-
patible with Windows® XP and more recent versions to allow
easy programming of the synthesizer.
The USB interface allows software programming of the
device. A USB cable is included in the evaluation board kit to
allow software programmability.
