ADMV8052

• Fully featured evaluation board for the ADMV8052
• On-board SDP-S connector for the SPI
• Evaluation using on-board LDO regulators powered by the USB
• ACE software interface for SPI control

The ADMV8052-EVALZ is available for evaluating the ADMV8052 digitally tunable, band-pass filter (BPF). The ADMV8052-EVALZ incorporates the ADMV8052 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 ADMV8052 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 ADMV8052 is an IC that features a digitally selectable frequency of operation. The chip features three BPFs that span from 30 MHz to 520 MHz. The chip can be programmed using a 4-wire serial port interface (SPI), and the SDP-S controller allows the user to interface with the SPI of the ADMV8052 through the Analog Devices, Inc., Analysis | Control | Evaluation (ACE) software.
