Product Details

The EV-ADF4360-9EB1Z board is designed to allow the user to evaluate the performance of the ADF4360-9 frequency synthesizer consisting of an integrated PLL and VCO. It contains the ADF4360-9BCPZ, a USB connector, and SMA connectors for the RF outputs. Unpopulated SMA footprints are available for the power supplies, lock detect, 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.
