EVAL-ADF4383

Product Details

The EV-ADF4383SD1Z evaluates the performance of the ADF4383 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 on the user guide. The EV-ADF4383SD1Z contains the ADF4383 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-ADF4383SD1Z are AC-coupled with 50 Ω transmission lines, making these outputs suitable to drive 50 Ω impedance instruments.

The EV-ADF4383SD1Z requires an SDP-S controller board, which is not supplied with the evaluation board kit). The SDP-S allows software programming of the EV-ADF4383SD1Z with Analog Devices, Inc., ACE software.

Full specifications for the ADF4383 frequency synthesizer are available in the ADF4383 data sheet, which must be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when working with the EVADF4383SD1Z.
