GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EVAL-ADGM1004SDZ evaluates the
wideband, single-pole, four-throw (SP4T), microelectromechanical
systems (MEMS) switch, and a control chip copackaged in a
compact, 24-lead, 5 mm × 4 mm × 1.45 mm, lead frame chip scale
package (LFCSP). The SP4T switch uses Analog Devices, Inc.,

EVAL-ADGM1004SDZ
MEMS switch technology, which provides optimum bandwidth
performance, power handling capability, and linearity for radio
frequency applications. The control chip generates the high voltage
signals necessary for the MEMS switch and allows the user to
control operation through a flexible, complementary metal oxide
semiconductor (CMOS), low voltage transistor to transistor logic
(LVTTL) compliant, parallel interface, as well as through a
serial peripheral interface (SPI). It is possible to daisy-chain
multiple
ADGM1004
devices together, which enables the
configuration of multiple devices with a minimal amount of
digital lines.
For the SPI interface, the EVAL-ADGM1004SDZ connects to
the USB port of a PC via a system demonstration platform
(SDP) board. The
EVAL-SDP-CB1Z
acceptable to use, and is available to order on the Analog
Devices website at www.analog.com/SDP-B.
The EVAL-ADGM1004SDZ is fitted with connectors for RF and
control signals, as well as links that allow the user to control the
operation of the switch and evaluate the performance of the
ADGM1004.
For full specifications on the ADGM1004, consult the
ADGM1004
data sheet, which must be used in conjunction with
this user guide when using the EVAL-ADGM1004SDZ.
