EVAL-ADMV4530

Product Details

The ADMV4530IQ-EVALZ and the ADMV4530IF-EVALZ are the two evaluation boards available for the ADMV4530 that work in inphase/quadrature (I/Q) mode and intermediate frequency (IF) mode, respectively. Both boards incorporate the ADMV4530 Ka band upconverter with low dropout (LDO) regulators and an interface to the EVAL-SDP-CS1Z (SDP-S) controller board to allow the simple and efficient evaluation of the ADMV4530. The on-board LDO regulators allow the ADMV4530 to be powered on by a single supply.

The ADMV4530 is a highly integrated upconverter with an I/Q mixer that is ideally suited for next generation Ka band satellite communications. The chip can be programmed using a 4-wire serial port interface (SPI). The SDP-S controller allows the user to interface with the ADMV4530 SPI through the Analog Devices, Inc., Analysis, Control Evaluation (ACE) software.
