AD9522-x Evaluation Board

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD9522-x (hereafter referred to as AD9522) is a very low
noise PLL clock synthesizer featuring an integrated VCO, clock
dividers, and up to 24 outputs. The AD9522 features automatic
holdover and a flexible reference input circuit allowing for very
smooth reference clock switching. The AD9522 family also
features the necessary provisions for an external VCXO.
The AD9522 evaluation board is a compact, easy to use plat-
form for evaluating all features of the AD9522. This user guide
covers all six versions of the AD9522 family.
Although the Quick Start Guide to the AD9522 PLL section
applies specifically to the AD9522-4, increasing the N (feedback)
divider and channel divider increases the VCO frequency to the
allowable frequency range of other AD9522 versions.
For the AD9522-5, which lacks the internal VCO, certain portions
of this user guide that apply to the internal VCO (such as VCO
calibration) can be ignored.
For convenience, detailed information from the AD9522 data sheet
has been included here. Use this user guide in conjunction with
the AD9520 and AD9522 data sheets and software documenta-
tion available at www.analog.com.
