Analog Devices Inc. EV-ADF41513 Evaluation Boards

Analog Devices EV-ADF41513 Evaluation Boards are demonstration and prototyping boards used to evaluate the features of the ADF41513 PLL Synthesizer. These ADI Evaluation Boards each include a premounted ADF41513, a 100MHz reference (crystal oscillator (XO)), a loop filter, and low noise voltage regulators. 

The EV-ADF41513 Evaluation Boards are offered in two variants:

The EV-ADF41513SD1Z Evaluation Board requires an external Voltage Vontrolled Oscillator (VCO). Subminiature Version A (SMA) connectors are provided on the EV-ADF41513SD1Z to connect the charge pump output (VTUNE) to the tuning input of the VCO and the phase-locked loop (PLL) radio frequency (RF) input (RFIN) to the VCO output.

The EV-ADF41513SD2Z Evaluation Board includes an on-board 10GHz to 20GHz HMC733 VCO.

The EV-ADF41513SD1Z and EV-ADF41513SD2Z Evaluation Boards both require the SDP-S (System Demonstration Platform-Serial) Controller Board (EVAL-SDP-CS1Z), which is not supplied with the kit. The SDP-S Controller Board is based on a USB to Serial Engine providing connectivity to a PC via a USB 2.0 high speed port. The SDP-S Controller Board allows software programming of the ADF41513 device.
