Overview

Features and Benefits

  • Fully featured evaluation board for the ADMV8513
  • On-board system demonstration platform (SDP-S) connector for the SPI
  • Evaluation using on-board LDO regulators powered by the USB
  • ACE software interface for SPI control

Product Details

The ADMV8513-EVALZ is available for evaluating the ADMV8513 digitally tunable, band-pass filter (BPF). The ADMV8513-EVALZ incorporates the ADMV8513 chip, as well as a negative voltage generator, low dropout (LDO) regulators, and an interface to the EVAL-SDP-CS1Z (SDP-S) system demonstration platform (SDP) to allow simple and efficient evaluation. The negative voltage generator and LDO regulators allow the ADMV8513 to be powered by either the 5 V USB supply voltage from the PC via the SDP-S or by using two external power supplies.

The ADMV8513 is an IC that features a digitally selectable frequency of operation. The chip can be programmed using a 4-wire serial peripheral interface (SPI), and the SDP-S controller allows the user to interface with the SPI of the ADMV8513 through the Analog Devices, Inc., Analysis, Control Evaluation (ACE) software.

For full details on the ADMV8513, see the ADMV8513 data sheet, which must be consulted in conjunction with the user guide when using the ADMV8513-EVALZ.
