GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EV-ADF4360-7EB1Z evaluation board is designed to allow
the user to evaluate the performance of the
synthesizer consisting of an integrated PLL and VCO (see Figure 1).
It contains the ADF4360-7BCPZ, a USB connector, and SMA
connectors for the RF outputs. Unpopulated SMA footprints are
available for the power supplies, the chip enable (CE), and the
external reference input. The evaluation board also contains
the loop filter to complete the PLL. It can be modified as necessary
for the PLL requirements of the user. A cable is included with
the board to connect a PC parallel port to allow software pro-
grammability.
The package also contains a CD with Windows® software to allow
quick, user-friendly programming of the synthesizer. The CD
contains additional PLL data sheets, technical notes, articles, and
ADIsimPLL™ V3.4 (Analog Devices, Inc., PLL simulation
software). More information is available at www.analog.com/pll.
