Analog Devices Inc. EV-ADF4377 Evaluation Board
Analog Devices Inc. EV-ADF4377 Evaluation Board is designed to evaluate the performance of ADF4377 frequency synthesizer with an integrated Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) for Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs). This self-contained board features a USB interface, power supply connectors, an onboard reference oscillator, propagation delay calibration paths, and Subminiature Version A (SMA) connectors. The EV-ADF4377 board VCO and output divider generate frequencies ranging from 800MHz to 12.8GHz. Typical applications include high-performance data converter and MxFE clocking, wireless infrastructure (MC-GSM and 5G), and test and measurement.
