GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EVAL-ADF411xEBZ1 evaluation board is designed to evaluate
the performance of the ADF4110, ADF4111, ADF4116, ADF4117,
and
ADF4107
frequency synthesizers for phase-locked loops
(PLLs). Figure 1 is the functional block diagram of the board
and shows the frequency synthesizer, a PC connector, and an
SMA connector for the reference input, the power supplies, and
an RF output. There are also footprints for a loop filter and a
voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) incorporated on the board. A
cable is included in the evaluation board package to connect the
evaluation board to a PC printer port.
The evaluation board package contains Windows® based software
to allow easy programming of the frequency synthesizer.
