GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This board is designed to allow the user to evaluate the perfor-

mance of the ADF4153 frequency synthesizer for phase-locked

loops (PLLs). Figure 1 shows the board, which contains the

ADF4153 synthesizer, an edge mounted SMA connector for the

RF output signal, power supply connectors, a temperature

compensated reference oscillator (TCXO) of 25 MHz frequency,

and an SDP connector. There is also a loop filter (50 kHz) and a

VCO (Mini-Circuits ROS-1800+) on board.

The package also contains Windows® software (XP or later) to

allow easy programming of the synthesizer.

This board requires an SDP-S (system demonstration platform-

serial) board (shown in Figure 1, but not supplied with the kit).

The SDP-S allows software programming of the ADF4153 device.

UG-167 Evaluation Board User Guide EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE The control software for the EV-ADF4153SD1Z accompanies the EV-ADF4153SD1Z on a CD. To install the software, see the Software Installation section. connected is displayed at the bottom left of the window (see Figure 17). Otherwise, the software has no connection to the evaluation board. To run the software, click the ADI ADF4153-4-6-7 file on the desktop or in the Start menu.

Evaluation Board User Guide UG-167 The Main Controls tab controls the PLL settings (see Figure 18). Use the Reference Frequency text box to set the correct reference frequency and the reference frequency divider. The default reference on the software window is at 10 MHz; it must be changed to 25 MHz if the on-board reference oscillator is used. In the Sweep and Hop tab, you can make the device sweep a range of frequencies or hop between two set frequencies.
