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.
