GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This evaluation board allows the user to evaluate the performance

of the ADF4113HV frequency synthesizer for phase-locked loops

(PLLs). Figure 1 shows the board, which contains the ADF4113HV

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 voltage control-

led oscillator (VCO), the Mini-Circuits ROS-2260W+, on board.

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

allow easy programming of the synthesizer.

This evaluation board requires an SDP-S board (shown in

Figure 1, but not supplied with the evaluation board kit). The

SDP-S allows software programming of the ADF4113HV device.

UG-165 Evaluation Board User Guide EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE The evaluation board requires the use of an SDP-S motherboard to program the device. The SDP-S board is not included with the evaluation board and must be purchased separately. The EV-ADF4113HVSD1Z schematics are shown in Figure 21 to Figure 23. POWER SUPPLIES The board is powered from external banana connectors and an external 15 V source connected to the VP SMA connector.

UG-165 Evaluation Board User Guide EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE Confirm that SDP board connected is displayed at the bottom left of the window (see Figure 17). If this message is not displayed, the software cannot connect to the evaluation board. To run the software, click the ADI PLL Int-N file on the desktop or from the Start menu. Note that when the board is connected, there is about a 5 sec to 10 sec delay before the status label changes.

Evaluation Board User Guide UG-165 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 frequency in this box is 10 MHz; it must be changed to 25 MHz if the on-board reference oscillator is used. Use the RF Settings section to control the output frequency. You can type the desired output frequency in the RF VCO Output Frequency text box (in megahertz).
