www.analog.com/ADF4355)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EV-ADF4355SD1Z evaluates the performance of the

ADF4355 frequency synthesizer with integrated VCO for

phase-locked loops (PLLs). A photograph of the evaluation

board is shown in Figure 1. The evaluation board contains

the ADF4355 frequency synthesizer with integrated VCO, a

differential 122.88 MHz reference (TCXO), a loop filter, a

USB interface, power supply connectors, and subminiature

Version A (SMA) connectors. A USB cable is included to

connect the board to a PC USB port.

For easy programming of the synthesizer, download the

Windows-based software from www.analog.com/ADF4355.

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-ADF4355SD1Z device.

GETTING STARTED

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

See the ADF4355 product page for the EV-ADF4355SD1Z

control software. For the software installation procedure, see

the PLL Software Installation Guide.

EVALUATION BOARD SETUP PROCEDURES

To run the sof tware,

1. Click the ADF4355 file on the desktop or from the Start

menu.

2. On the Select Device and Connection tab, choose

ADF4355 and SDP board (black), and then click Connect

(see Figure 2).

3. When connecting the board, allow 5 sec to 10 sec for the

label on the status bar to change.

Under the File menu, the current settings can be saved to, and

loaded from, a text file.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE

The EV-ADF4355SD1Z requires the SDP-S platform that uses

the E VA L-SDP-CS1Z. (SDP-B is not recommended.)

The EV-ADF4355SD1Z schematics are shown in Figure 7,

Figure 8, and Figure 9. The silkscreens for the evaluation board

are shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11.

POWER SUPPLIES

The board is powered by a 6 V power supply connected to the

red and black banana connectors. Connect the red connector to

a 6 V power supply and the black connector to ground.

The power supply circuitry allows the user two or three separate

low dropout (LDO) regulators to feed the ADF4355 (using

fewer LDO regulators increases the risk of spur contaminated

dc feeds).

The charge pump and VCO supply pins are driven from a

5 V ADM7150 high performance, low noise regulator. The

remaining supplies are powered from 3.3 V ADM7150 high

performance, low noise regulator.

LED1 indicates when the ADF4355 is powered on. Use

Switch S1 to switch the 6 V to the board on and off.

RF OUTPUT

The EV-ADF4355SD1Z has two pairs of SMA output

connectors: RFOUTA+/RFOUTA− and RFOUTB+/RFOUTB−

(differential outputs). Because they are sensitive to impedance

mismatch, connect the RF outputs to equal load impedances.

If only one port of a differential pair is used, terminate the

complementary port with an equal load terminator (in general,

a 50 Ω terminator).

LOOP FILTER

The loop filter schematic is included in the board schematic in

Figure 7. Figure 3 shows the loop filter component placements.

For lowest rms phase noise, use the following components (that

are inserted on the evaluation board) with a 0.9 mA charge

pump current:

•C60 = 1.2 nF, C59 = 33 nF, C6 1 = 390 pF, C73 = 10 pF

•R14 = 1 kΩ, R17 = 3.3 kΩ

Narrower loop filter bandwidths have lower spurious signals.

Figure 3. Loop Filter Placement

REFERENCE SOURCE

The evaluation board contains a 122.88 MHz differential output

TCXO from Vectron International. If preferred, the user may

supply either a single-ended or differential reference input to

REFINA/REFINB SMA connectors. When using an external

reference, remove R12 to disconnect the power rail to the

TCXO.

To use a single-ended REFINx, connect a low noise 122.88 MHz

reference source to SMA REFINB, and connect a 50 Ω terminator

to SMA REFINA. Remove Resistor R27 (100 Ω). To use a

differential REFINx, connect the differential signal to SMA

REFINA and SMA REFINB. The differential REFINA/REFINB

SMA connectors can operate to a 500 MHz input frequency.

In the schematic shown in Figure 7, the REFINA pin of U1

(ADF4355) is connected to SMA REFINB, and the REFINB pin

of U1 (ADF4355) is connected to SMA REFINA. This

schematic matches the evaluation board connections.

DEFAULT CONFIGURATION

All components necessary for local oscillator (LO) generation

are inserted on the board. This board is shipped with the

ADF4355 synthesizer with an integrated VCO, a differential

122.88 MHz reference TCXO, and a 20 kHz loop filter (ICP =

0.9 mA).

EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE

MAIN CONTROLS

The Main Controls tab (see Figure 5) selects the RF and user

configurable register settings. Consult the register descriptions

of the ADF4355 data sheet for details. Default settings are

recommended for most registers.

In the RF Settings, ensure that VCOout (MHz) equals the

VCO frequency. Set the Output divider to give the required

RFoutA± (MHz).

Ensure that Reference freq equals the applied reference signal.

The PFD frequency is calculated from the reference frequency,

the R counter, the reference doubler, and the reference divide

by 2. Ensure that the value in PFD (MHz) matches the value

specified in the loop filter design.

In Register 4, program the CP current to match the value used

for the loop filter design.

EVALUATION AND TEST

To evaluate and test the performance of the ADF4355, use the

following procedure:

1. Install the ADF4355 software (see the PLL Software

Installation Guide).

2. Follow the hardware driver installation procedure

(Windows XP only).

3. Connect a 50 Ω terminator to RFOUTA−.

4. Connect the EV-ADF4355SD1Z board to the SDP-S board.

5. Connect the 6 V power supply to the banana connectors

and power-on the board using S1 (check that LED1 is on).

6. Connect the USB cable from the SDP-S board to the PC.

7. Run the ADF4355 software.

8. Select ADF4355 and SDP board (black) in the Select

Device and Connection tab of the software front panel

display window (see Figure 2).

9. Click the Main Controls tab, and set the VCOout (MHz)

to a frequency of 5000 MHz.

10. Click Write Al l Registers.

11. Connect the spectrum analyzer to SMA connector

RFOUTA+, see Figure 4 for a typical evaluation setup.

12. Measure the output spectrum and single sideband phase

noise.

Figure 6 shows a phase noise plot of the SMA RFOUTA+ equal

to 5 GHz.
