The evaluation board contains the Windows-based PC with USB port for evaluation software ADF4356 frequency synthesizer with an integrated VCO, a System demonstration platform, serial only (SDP-S) differential 122.88 MHz reference (TCXO), a loop filter, a USB EVAL-SDP-CS1Z controller board interface, power supply connectors, and subminiature Version A USB cable (included with the EVAL-SDP-CS1Z) (SMA) connectors. A USB cable is included to connect the Power supply (5.5 V) board to a PC USB port. Spectrum analyzer 50 terminators This board requires an SDP-S (shown in Figure 1, but not supplied with the kit). The SDP-S allows software programming of the EV-ADF4356SD1Z. When working with the evaluation board and for full specifications of the device, consult the ADF4356 frequency synthesizer data sheet. For easy programming of the synthesizer, download the Windows-based software from the ADF4356 product page. EVALUATION BOARD PHOTOGRAPH Figure 1.
