GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This board is designed to allow the user to evaluate the perfor-
mance of the
ADF4106
frequency synthesizer for phase-locked
loops (PLLs). Figure 1 shows the board, which contains the
ADF4106
synthesizer, power supplies, and an interface con-
nector. A PLL loop filter and a voltage-controlled oscillator
(VCO) are also included for frequency synthesis.
The evaluation kit also contains software that is compatible with
Windows® XP and later versions to allow easy programming of
the synthesizer.
This board requires an SDP-S (system demonstration platform-
serial) board (shown in Figure 1, but not supplied with the kit).
The SDP-S allows software programming of the
ADF4106
device.
