Analog Devices Inc. EV-ADF4368SD1Z Evaluation Board
Analog Devices EV-ADF4368SD1Z Evaluation Board demonstrates the ADF4368 fractional frequency synthesizer with an integrated voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) for phase-locked loops (PLLs). The EV-ADF4368SD1Z includes the ADF4368 frequency synthesizer with an integrated VCO, a USB interface, power supply connectors, an on-board reference oscillator, propagation delay calibration paths, and Subminiature Version A (SMA) connectors. The outputs are AC-coupled with 50Ω transmission lines making the outputs appropriate to drive 50Ω impedance instruments. The ADI EV-ADF4368SD1Z needs an SDP-S board (not supplied with the kit). The SDP-S permits software programming of the EV-ADF4368SD1Z with ACE software.Features
