GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EV-ADF4159EB1Z/ EV-ADF4159EB3Z evaluates the
performance of the ADF4159 frequency synthesizer for phase-
locked loops (PLL). A photograph of the evaluation board is
shown in Figure 1. The evaluation board involves the ADF4159
synthesizer, a USB connector, SMA connectors, a reference
oscillator, and power supply connectors. There are also footprints
for active filter components and a voltage controlled oscillator
(VCO); if used, these components must be soldered to the board
to complete the loop. An on-board temperature compensated
crystal oscillator (TCXO) provides the 100 MHz reference
frequency, and a USB cable is included to connect the board to
a PC USB port.
In addition, the evaluation kit contains Windows-based software
to allow easy programming of the synthesizer.
