ADMV1013-EVALZ

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADMV1013-EVALZ evaluation board incorporates the
ADMV1013
with a microcontroller, low dropout (LDO)
regulators, and the
AD5601
easy evaluation of the ADMV1013. The microcontroller allows
the user to configure the
ADMV1013
Analysis, Control, Evaluation
allow the
ADMV1013
to be powered on by a single supply, and
offer power supply ripple rejection. The
allows the user to attenuate the radio frequency (RF) power
from the mixer of the
ADMV1013
power supply.
The
ADMV1013
is a silicon germanium (SiGe) design, wideband,
microwave upconverter optimized for point to point microwave
radio designs operating in a frequency range of 24 GHz to 44 GHz.
The
ADMV1013
comes in a compact, thermally enhanced,
6 mm × 6 mm LGA package, and operates over a temperature
range of −40°C to +85°C. For full details on the ADMV1013, see
the
ADMV1013
data sheet. Consult the data sheet in conjunction
with this user guide when using the ADMV1013-EVALZ
evaluation board.
