Tel: 781.329.4700 Fax: 781.461.3113 www.analog.com Evaluating the ADF4355-3 Fractional-N/Integer-N PLL Frequency Synthesizer FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION Self contained board, including ADF4355-3 frequency The EV-ADF4355-3SD1Z evaluates the performance of the synthesizer with integrated VCO, differential 122.88 MHz ADF4355-3 frequency synthesizer with integrated VCO for temperature controlled crystal oscillator (TCXO), loop phase-locked loops (PLLs). A photograph of the evaluation filter (35 kHz), USB interface, and voltage regulators board is shown in Figure 1. The evaluation board contains the Windows-based software allows control of synthesizer ADF4355-3 frequency synthesizer with integrated VCO, a functions from a PC differential 122.88 MHz reference (TCXO), a loop filter, a USB Externally powered by 6 V interface, power supply connectors, and subminiature Version A (SMA) connectors. A USB cable is included to connect the EVALUATION KIT CONTENTS board to a PC USB port. EV-ADF4355-3SD1Z For easy programming of the synthesizer, download the USB cable Windows-based software from www.analog.com/ADF4355-3. EQUIPMENT NEEDED This board requires an SDP-S (shown in Figure 1, but not Windows-based PC with USB port for evaluation software supplied with the kit). The SDP-S allows software programming System demonstration platform, serial only (SDP-S) of the EV-ADF4355-3SD1Z device.
