GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This board is designed to allow the user to evaluate the perfor-
mance of the
ADF4002
loops (PLLs). Figure 1 shows the board, which contains the
footprint for an
the reference input, power supplies, and an RF output. There is
also a footprint for a loop filter and a VCO on board.
The evaluation kit also contains software that is compatible with
Windows® XP and later versions to allow easy programming of
the synthesizer.
This board requires an SDP-S (system demonstration platform-
serial) board (shown in Figure 1, but not supplied with the kit).
The SDP-S allows software programming of the

  • Page 3: Quick Start Guide

    Evaluation Board User Guide UG-108 QUICK START GUIDE Follow these steps to quickly evaluate the ADF4002 device: Solder the VCO (T-package compatible). Solder the loop filter components (design with ADIsimPLL™). Connect the reference frequency to J11. Install the system development platform (SDP) drivers.

    The necessary reference input can be sourced from an external generator. A low noise, high slew rate reference source is best for achieving the stated performance of the ADF4002. This reference source can be connected to Connector J11. If preferred, the edge mount connector, J5, can be inserted and Figure 2.
