The LMX2572EVM is design to evaluate the performance of LMX2572. This board consists of a LMX2572
device.
The LMX2572 is a low-power, high-performance wideband synthesizer that can generate any frequency
from 12.5 MHz to 6.4 GHz without using an internal VCO doubler. The PLL delivers excellent performance
while consuming just 75 mA from a single 3.3-V supply.
