Product Details
The EV-ADF4382ASD2Z evaluates the performance of the ADF4382A frequency synthesizer with an integrated voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) for phase-locked loops (PLLs). A photograph of the evaluation board is shown in Figure 1. The EVADF4382ASD2Z contains the ADF4382A frequency synthesizer with an integrated VCO, a USB interface, power supply connectors, on-board reference oscillator, propagation delay calibration paths, and Subminiature Version A (SMA) connectors. The outputs of the EV-ADF4382ASD2Z are AC-coupled with 50 Ω transmission lines, making these outputs suitable to drive 50 Ω impedance instruments.
The EV-ADF4382ASD2Z requires an SDP-S controller board, which is not supplied with the evaluation board kit). The SDP-S allows software programming of the EV-ADF4382ASD2Z with Analog Devices, Inc., ACE software.
Full specifications for the ADF4382A frequency synthesizer are available in the ADF4382A data sheet, which must be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when working with the EVADF4382ASD2Z.
