This document is the user guide for the evaluation board of the ADF4153 fractional-N PLL frequency synthesizer. The evaluation board includes the synthesizer, VCO, TCXO for reference frequency, and loop filter. The accompanying software allows complete control of synthesizer functions from a PC. It is designed for 25 MHz PFD frequency, 2.5 mA charge pump current, and 50 kHz loop bandwidth.
The document provides a comprehensive user guide (UG-167) for the EV-ADF4153SD1Z evaluation kit, which includes the EV-ADF4153SD1Z board and accompanying software. The kit is designed to evaluate the performance of the ADF4153 fractional-N PLL frequency synthesizer, featuring an on-board VCO, TCXO reference source, and loop filter.
| Device Type | Fractional-N PLL Frequency Synthesizer |
|---|---|
| PFD Frequency | 25 MHz |
| Charge Pump Current | 2.5 mA |
| Loop Bandwidth | 50 kHz |
| VCO Frequency Range | 1700 MHz to 1800 MHz |
| Reference Oscillator | 25 MHz TCXO |
The Analog Devices ADF4153-4-6-7 PLL software (Revision 4 or higher) is required.
The board requires a PC running Windows XP or more recent versions.
No, the EV-ADF4153SD1Z schematic requires an SDP-S motherboard which must be purchased separately.
