Evaluation Board User Guide

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This user guide describes the hardware and software of the
AD9523-1
evaluation boards. The evaluation board schematic
and PCB layout artwork can be found at www.analog.com.
The AD9523-1 is designed to support the clock requirements
for long-term evolution (LTE) and multicarrier GSM base station
designs. It relies on an external VCXO to provide the reference
jitter cleanup to achieve the restrictive low phase noise require-
ments necessary for acceptable data converter SNR performance.
The AD9523-1 evaluation board is a compact, easy-to-use plat-
form for evaluating all features of the AD9523-1. A 122.88 MHz
VCXO is mounted on the evaluation board to provide a complete
solution.
The input receivers are configured as differential but the evalua-
tion board has baluns to provide a single-ended input for easy
evaluation using common laboratory single-ended signal sources.
Output 8 is connected to an
ADCLK905
a way to evaluate an Analog Devices, Inc., buffer. Although the
ADCLK905 is a 1-to-1 buffer, the performance is similar to the
larger fanout buffer, for example, the 1-to-2 buffer, ADCLK925.
Output 1 and Output 9 are configured with baluns to provide a
single-ended output to drive most test equipment. Output 0 is
configured for differential zero delay operation.
