EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE

OVERVIEW

The evaluation board kit includes a cable for connecting the evaluation board to the USB port of a PC. The silkscreen for the evaluation board is show in Figure 2, and the schematics for the evaluation board are shown in Figure 10 to Figure

POWER SUPPLIES

The evaluation board is powered by a V power supply connected to the red and black banana connectors. Connect the red connector to a V power supply and the black connector to ground.

The op amp is powered by a 15 V power supply.

Optionally, the VCO can be powered independently by connecting a 5 V supply to the VVCO SMA and removing R27. When this option is used, reduce the voltage on the banana connectors to 5 V.

The USB section of the evaluation board see the area bounded by the gold box in Figure 1 is powered by the USB host.

LOCAL OSCILLATOR

The 100 MHz TXCO provides the reference frequency. To ensure that the PFD frequency is also 100 MHz, set the on-chip R-divider to Alternatively, an external reference can be used by connecting the reference to the REFIN SMA and removing R10 and L1.

The VCO configuration is different for each evaluation board model EV-ADF4159EB1Z, EV-ADF4159EB2Z, and EV-ADF4159EB3Z. See the VCO Configuration section for more information.
