GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EV-ADF4030SD1Z evaluates the performance of the ADF4030
10-channel precision synchronizer. The SDP-K1 controller board
must be connected to the EV-ADF4030SD1Z using the Ardu-
ino connector underneath the evaluation board. Multiple EV-
ADF4030SD1Z evaluation boards can be stacked up onto the
SDP-K1 controller board using the Arduino connector.
A photograph of the evaluation board with the SDP-K1 controller
board is shown in
Figure
1. The evaluation board contains the
ADF4030 10-channel precision synchronizer, the power supply
connectors, and the Arduino connector used to connect to the SDP
K1 board. This combination allows software programming of the
evaluation board using ACE software.
Full specifications for the ADF4030 precision synchronizer are
available in the product data sheet, which must be consulted in
conjunction with this user guide when working with the evaluation
board.
