The PLL Frequency Synthesizer Evaluation Board for the ADF4001
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
General purpose PLL evaluation board, excluding synthesizer,
VCO, and loop filter, for generating generic PLL standards
Compatible with ADF4001 PLL
Accompanying software allows complete control of
synthesizer functions from a PC
Battery operated: choice of 3 V or 5 V supplies
Rogers material substrate for improved RF performance
ADIsimPLL™ compatible
The EVAL-ADF411xEBZ1 is designed to allow users to evaluate
the performance of the ADF4001 frequency synthesizer for
phase locked loops (PLLs). The block diagram of the board is
shown in Figure 1. It contains the footprint for an ADF4001
synthesizer, a PC connector, an SMA connector for the reference
input, power supplies, and an RF output. There is also a footprint
for a loop filter and a VCO on-board. A cable is included with
the board to connect it to a PC printer port.
The package also contains Windows® software to allow easy
programming of the synthesizer.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
The board is powered from a single 9 V battery. The power supply
circuitry allows the user to choose either 3 V or 5 V for the VDD
and VP and for the VCO supply. The default settings are 3 V for
the ADF4001 VDD and 5 V for the ADF4001 VP and VCO supply.
HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
The evaluation board comes with a cable to connect to the
printer port of a PC. The evaluation board silkscreen and PC
cable diagram are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3. The board
schematics are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6.
It is important to note that VDD must never exceed VP because
this can damage the device.
All components necessary for LO generation are catered for on
board. The TCXO connector provides the necessary reference
input. The PLL is made up of the ADF4001 synthesizer, passive
loop filter, and the VCO. The output is available at RFOUT through a
standard SMA connector. Users can use their own power supplies
and reference input. However, in this case, they need to insert
SMA connectors as shown on the silkscreen and block diagram
(see Figure 1 and Figure 2).
LOOP DESIGN
08872-002
The evaluation board does not have a VCO, loop filter, or
synthesizer chip. Users choose the synthesizer and VCO
depending on their frequency and applications requirements.
The filter is then designed around these requirements. The
evaluation kit CD has a copy of the ADIsimPLL software. This
allows users to enter loop parameters. The software designs the
filter and displays the frequency and time domain analysis of
the filter response. The software also has useful schematic and
report options.

EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE
The evaluation board comes with the software on a CD. The
software is suitable for all the ADF4xxx devices. To install, use
the following steps:
1.
2.
Open the Integer-N software folder and click Setup.exe. The
install wizard installs the software. Note that administrator
access is required on the PC to install the software.
Follow the on-screen directions. The software is installed to
a default directory: C:\Program Files\Analog Devices\
ADF_Revx.x\. To run the software, click ADF_Revx_x.exe.
Ensure that the evaluation board is turned on, and the
interface cable is connected.
Prior to the Main Interface Page, a window appears to select
the device being evaluated. Choose the ADF4001 and click OK.
The Main Interface Page now appears (see Figure 4).
PROGRAMMABLE SOFTWARE SETTINGS
To program the software, complete the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Click REF IN Frequency, insert the desired frequency in
MHz, and click OK.
Click RF VCO Output Frequency for the Output Frequency
window to appear. Enter the Output Frequency and click OK.
Click PFD Frequency, insert the desired frequency in kHz,
and click OK.
Click RF Charge Pump Current Setting 2 or RF Charge
Pump Current Setting 1 and the current setting window
will appear. Enter the value used for the loop filter and
click OK.
Click RF PD Polarity Positive to set the PD polarity bit to
positive, which ensures that all registers are loaded.
08872-007
At this point, the data is now set up, and the user can modify
other features.
