EVAL-ADF41510

Product Details

The EV-ADF41510SD1Z and EV-ADF41510SD2Z are evaluation boards that can be used to evaluate all the features of the ADF41510. The EV-ADF41510SD1Z requires an external VCO. The EV-ADF41510SD2Z includes an on-board 5 GHz to 10 GHz HMC587 VCO.

The EV-ADF41510SD1Z has Subminiature Version A (SMA) connectors 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.

Both variants of the evaluation board include the ADF41510 frequency synthesizer, 100 MHz reference (crystal oscillator (XO)), loop filter, USB interface, low noise voltage regulators.

For easy programming of the synthesizer, download the Windowsbased software from the ADF41510 product page ADF41510. The file transfer program (FTP) user name and password are printed on the label inside the lid of the evaluation board box.

The evaluation board requires an SDP-S, which is not included with the kit. The SDP-S allows software programming of the ADF41510 device through a USB interface.

Full specifications on the ADF41510 are available in the ADF41510 data sheet available from Analog Devices, Inc., and must be consulted with this user guide when using the EVAL-ADF41510 evaluation board.
