GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EV-ADF5356SD1Z evaluates the performance of the
ADF5356
frequency synthesizer with integrated VCO for phase-
locked loops (PLLs). A photograph of the evaluation board is
shown in Figure 1. The evaluation board contains the
synthesizer with integrated VCO, a differential 122.88 MHz
reference TCXO, a loop filter, a USB interface, power supply
connectors, and subminiature Version A (SMA) connectors. A
USB cable is included to connect the board to a PC USB port.
For easy programming of the synthesizer, download the
Windows®-based software from www.analog.com/ADF5356.
