GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADMV1013-EVALZ evaluation board incorporates the
with a microcontroller, low dropout (LDO)
regulators, and the
nano
DAC® to allow the quick and
. The microcontroller allows
the user to configure the
register map through the
) software. The LDO regulators
allow the
to be powered on by a single supply, and
offer power supply ripple rejection. The
nano
DAC
allows the user to attenuate the radio frequency (RF) power
from the mixer of the
without using an external
power supply.
The
is a silicon germanium (SiGe) design, wideband,
microwave upconverter optimized for point to point microwave
radio designs operating in a frequency range of 24 GHz to 44 GHz.
comes in a compact, thermally enhanced,
6 mm × 6 mm LGA package, and operates over a temperature
range of −40°C to +85°C. For full details on the
, see
the
data sheet. Consult the data sheet in conjunction
with this user guide when using the ADMV1013-EVALZ
evaluation board.
