GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The evaluation board incorporates the ADMV4630, low dropout

(LDO) regulators, and the 

EVAL-SDP-CS1Z

 (

SDP-S

) controller

board to allow simplified, efficient evaluation of the ADMV4630. The

SDP-S

 controller board allows the configuration of the ADMV4630

register map through the 

Analysis, Control, Evaluation

 (

ACE

) soft-

ware. The LDO regulators allow the EVAL-ADMV4630Z to be pow-

ered by a 5 V single supply.

The ADMV4630 is a Ku-band upconverter optimized for various

satellite communication (SATCOM) user terminals operating in the

14.0 GHz to 14.5 GHz frequency range. The ADMV4630 upconvert-

er comes in a compact, thermally enhanced, 6 mm × 6 mm, 40-lead

frame chip scale package (LFCSP). The ADMV4630 operates over

the −40°C to +85°C case temperature range.

For full details on the ADMV4630, see the 

ADMV4630

 data sheet,

which must be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when

using the EVAL-ADMV4630Z.
