This document is about the evaluation board user guide for Analog Devices ADF4002 400MHz frequency synthesizer. It introduces the features and functions of the board, including the included components, accessories, additional equipment, required documents and required software.
This document is the User Guide (UG-108) for the EV-ADF4002SD1Z evaluation board, designed to allow users to evaluate the performance of the ADF4002 frequency synthesizer. The board includes the ADF4002 IC, power supplies, and footprints for a VCO and loop filter, but requires the user to solder these components and an external SDP-S board for software control.
The guide details the hardware configuration, including power supply requirements (6V to 12V input), jumper settings for voltage selection, and the necessary external equipment such as a spectrum analyzer and oscilloscope. It also covers the software installation process for the Int-N software and the SDP drivers on Windows XP, Vista, and 7.
| Power Supply Input Range | 6 V to 12 V |
|---|---|
| ADF4002 VDD Supply | 3.0 V |
| ADF4002 VP Supply | 3.0 V or 5 V |
| Maximum VDD Voltage | 3.3 V |
| Controller Interface | USB 2.0 |
The evaluation kit includes software compatible with Windows XP and later versions to allow easy programming of the synthesizer.
No, the board is shipped without a VCO, loop filter, or TCXO; users must insert suitable components to complete a PLL.
A low noise, high slew rate reference source is best for achieving the stated performance of the ADF4002.
