Evaluation Board for the 

ADF4360-8

 Integrated PLL and VCO Frequency Synthesizer 

 

 
PLEASE SEE THE LAST PAGE FOR AN IMPORTANT  
WARNING AND LEGAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

 

Rev. A | Page 1 of 16 

FEATURES 

Self-contained board for generating RF frequencies 
Flexibility for reference input, PFD frequency, and loop 

bandwidth 

Accompanying software allows complete control of 

synthesizer functions from a PC 

Flexibility for changing external inductor to allow different 

VCO output frequency ranges 

USB-/battery-operated 9 V supplies 
 

GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The 

EVAL-ADF4360-8EBZ1

 board is designed to allow the user 

to evaluate the performance of the ADF4360-8 frequency 
synthesizer consisting of an integrated PLL and VCO (see Figure 1). 
It contains th

ADF4360-8BCPZ

, a USB connector, and SMA 

connectors for the RF outputs. Unpopulated SMA footprints are 
available for the power supplies, the chip enable (CE), and the 
external reference input. The evaluation board also contains the 
loop filter to complete the PLL. It can be modified as necessary for 
the user’s PLL requirements. A USB cable is included with the 
board to allow software programmability. 

The package also contains a CD with Windows® software to allow 
quick, user-friendly programming of the synthesizer. The CD 
contains numerous other PLL data sheets, technical notes, articles, 
and ADIsimPLL™ V3.4, Analog Devices, Inc., PLL simulation 
software. More information is available at
