GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADMV8913-EVALZ is available for evaluating the
ADMV8913 digitally tunable, high-pass filter (HPF) and low-
pass filter (LPF). The ADMV8913-EVALZ incorporates the
ADMV8913 chip, as well as a negative voltage generator, low
dropout (LDO) regulators, and an interface to the EVAL-SDP-
CS1Z (SDP-S) system demonstration platform (SDP) to allow
simple and efficient evaluation. The negative voltage generator
and LDO regulators allow the ADMV8913 to be powered by
either the 5 V USB supply voltage from the PC via the SDP-S
or by using two external power supplies.
The ADMV8913 is a fully monolithic microwave integrated
circuit (MMIC) that features a digitally selectable frequency
of operation. The chip has an integrated HPF followed by an
integrated LPF that allows a pass-band response within the X band
frequency range. The chip can be programmed using either the
parallel logic interface or a 4-wire serial port interface (SPI). The
SDP-S controller allows the user to interface with the ADMV8913
SPI through the Analog Devices, Inc., Analysis | Control |
Evaluation (ACE) software.
For full details on the ADMV8913, see the ADMV8913 data
sheet, which must be consulted in conjunction with this user
guide when using the ADMV8913-EVALZ.
