FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q1: Will there be an evaluation board for the other family members (ADRV9003/ADRV9004/ADRV9005/ADRV9006)?
A1: Not necessary as ADRV9002
software.
Q2: Why do we not have one evaluation board for the entire operating frequency band 30 MHz to 6 GHz?
A2: We have two boards as each board provides optimal matching, minimizes loss and provides the best RF performance for the given band of
operation. Customer can choose to make their own broad band match.
Q3: Why is the User Guide and TES software called ADRV9001 (ADRV9001 System Development User Guide)?
A3: One user guide and TES software covers the planned generics and future generics, so a non-product generic was created in order to
generically refer to any product within the ADRV9001 family.
Q4: Why do we have two SD cards supplied with the evaluation boards?
A4: See the 'ADRV9001 SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SELECTION
Q5: Why do you call it TES (Transceiver Evaluation Software)?
A5: Historically, this was the name given, today users can do more than evaluation including develop code for their target system. The TES
software allows for evaluation, prototyping, production target system development.
Q6: What is the power consumption of the ADRV9001?
A6: Power consumption is dependent upon may factors, most important is the configuration and set up, then the performance and IP blocks
enabled. Users can see what the active power consumption for each of the ADRV9001 power supply rails in the TES software, special tab is
provided in the GUI. For sleep modes, please review the
Q7: What is the performance and resolution of the receiver ADCs?
A7: As ADRV9001 provides the entire signal path the resolution and that the ADCs are oversampled sigma delta not comparable with
pipeline converters. The resolution is truncated to the output interface 16 bits. See the ADRV9001 data sheet for linearity and dynamic range
performance.
Q8: What are the main differences between the ADRV9002 and the ADRV9006?
A8: The main differences are a reduced feature set to make the part more affordable for specific applications. The features that have been
limited on the ADRV9006 include Fast Profile Switching, Digital Pre-Distortion, monitor mode, External LO support, fast PLL-retune and the
high-performance ADC. See the
Q9: What data interface mode to use and consider?
A9: For narrow band operation signal bandwidths 1 MHz to 2 MHz CMOS serial interface is best option (can be considered up to 10 MHz)
as CMOS is limited to max 80 MHz clock rate. For arbitrary bandwidths from kHz to 40 MHz the users should use the LVDS serial interface.
Details on the interface are in the
Q10: What is the clock rate and sample rate and how that equates to data rate and sample rate needs?
A10: ADRV9001 supports arbitrary sample and data rates. There is a dedicated baseband PLL on chip that is used to generate the sample
rates and baseband interface rates independent of the RF PLL synthesizers. See the
