Evaluation Board User Guide
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
EV-ADF4360-8EB1Z
board is designed to allow the user to
evaluate the performance of the ADF4360-8 frequency
synthesizer consisting of an integrated PLL and VCO (see Figure 1).
It contains the ADF4360-8BCPZ, 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 user's PLL requirements. A USB cable is included with the
board to allow software programmability.
The package also contains a CD with Windows® software to allow
quick, user-friendly programming of the synthesizer. The CD
contains numerous other 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.

Page 5: Evaluation Board Software Quick Start Procedures
The install wizard guides you through the installation process. The software is installed in a default directory called C:/Program Files/Analog Devices/ADF4360. The software requires Microsoft’s .NET Framework Version 3.5 or later to be installed on your machine. The installer automati- cally downloads the framework from the Microsoft website if you do not have this installed. -

Browse my computer for driver software. Note that installing this driver package disables older versions Browse to C:\Program Files\Analog Devices\ADF4360. of Analog Devices PLL software; therefore, only install if needed. Click OK or Next. If prompted by Windows security, choose Install this driver software anyway. -
Page 7: Using The Evaluation Board Software
The main interface window opens (see Figure 10). Confirm that range of frequencies or hop between two set frequencies. Analog Devices RFG.L Eval Board connected is displayed at the top of the window. Otherwise, the software has no connection In the Latches to write section at the bottom of the window, to the evaluation board. -
