PERFORMING EVALUATION

ADMV4530IQ-EVALZ OR ADMV4530IF-EVALZ
QUICK START
To set up the ADMV4530IQ-EVALZ or the ADMV4530IF-
EVALZ evaluation board, take the following steps:
1. Connect the SDP-S to the 120-pin connector on the
ADMV4530IQ-EVALZ or the ADMV4530IF-EVALZ
evaluation board.
2. Connect a USB cable to the PC and then to the SDP-S.
3. Connect a 5 V dc power supply to the 5V and GND1 test
points. Alternatively, the power supply can be connected
to the VSUPPLY SMA port. The power supply current
limit must be set to 800 mA.
4. Connect the reference input signal generator to the
REF_IN port on the ADMV4530IQ-EVALZ or the
ADMV4530IF-EVALZ evaluation board. Ensure that the
board is set to the desired reference input frequency and
power level.
5. Depending on which board is being evaluated, connect the
signal generator for either IF input or I/Q inputs.
6. Connect a spectrum analyzer (or similar instrument) to
the RFOUT port.
7. Open the ACE software. The ADMV4530 Board appears
in the Attached Hardware section. Double-click on the
plug-in to see the chip plug-in ADMV4530 on screen.
8. Use the Initial Configuration in the
initialize the chip. Be sure to select the correct mixer mode
of operation, either IF or I/Q mode. Additionally, set the
desired PLL configuration settings, and then click Apply in
the Initial Configuration section (see Figure 11).

SIGNAL GENERATOR SETTINGS

When evaluating the ADMV4530IQ-EVALZ, a good starting
point for configuring the signal generator inputs is as follows:

Reference input frequency = 200 MHz

Reference input power = 8 dBm

I/Q input frequency = 25 MHz

I/Q common mode voltage = 0.5 V

In-phase (negative) IN input power = −16 dBm

In-phase (positive) IP input power = −16 dBm

Quadrature (positive) QP input power = −16 dBm

Quadrature (negative) QP input power = −16 dBm
When evaluating the ADMV4530IF-EVALZ, a good starting
point for configuring the signal generator inputs is as follows:

Reference input frequency = 200 MHz

Reference input power = 8 dBm

IF input frequency = 2.5 GHz

IF input power = −40 dBm
