This 4-layer board is powered by a single supply in the 4.75 V to 5.25 V range. The power supply is decoupled by 100 pF and 0.1 μF capacitors. The VRMS output is accessible via a clip lead (a pad is also available where an SMA connector is installed). The VENV output is accessible via an SMA connector. For responsetime critical measurements where stray capacitance must be minimized, R2 can be removed and a FET probe can be attached to JP1 (JP1 must be installed). 10145-001 Table 1 details the various configuration options of the evaluation board. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the bottom side and top side layouts, respectively. The RF input has a broadband match of 50 Ω using a single 75 Ω resistor at R5. Figure 1.

Component VPOS, GND C13, C14 Description Ground and supply vector pins. Power supply decoupling. Nominal supply decoupling of 0.01 μF and 100 pF. C17 RMS filter capacitor (FLT4). The internal rms averaging capacitor can be augmented by placing additional capacitance in C17. RF input interface. The 75 Ω resistor at R5 combines with the ADL5511 internal input impedance to give a broadband input impedance of around 50 Ω. C1 is an ac coupling capacitor, which should be chosen according to nominal carrier frequency. RMS output and output filtering. The combination of C9 and the internal 100 Ω output resistance can be used to form a low-pass filter to reduce the output noise on the VRMS output beyond the reduction due to C17 (capacitor on FLT4). The rms output is available on the VRMS clip-on test point. To observe VRMS using an SMA cable, an SMA connector can be soldered onto the pad labeled VRMS1. R5, C1 R18, C9 R19, C8, R2, JP1 R20, C7 R1, SW1 C6, C10 C2 R3, R14, R15, R16, R17 VENV output and output filtering. The VENV output is available on the VENV SMA connector. If post-envelope filtering is desired, R19 and C8 can be used to form a low-pass filter at the VENV output. R2 can be removed to isolate the JP1 jumper from the VENV SMA connector, and JP1 can be installed and used to interface to a FET probe. This helps to eliminate any excessive trace and connector capacitance. Envelope reference output and output filtering. The EREF output is available on the EREF clip-on test point. The dc reference voltage at Pin EREF can be filtered by the low-pass filter formed by the combination of R20 and C7. To observe the EREF voltage using an SMA cable, an SMA connector can be soldered onto the pad labeled EREF1. Device enable. When the switch is set toward the SW1 label, the ENBL pin is connected to VPOS, which enables the ADL5511. In the opposite switch position, the ENBL pin is grounded, which disables the ADL5511. Envelope carrier-removal filters (FLT2, FLT3). The corner frequency of the internal VENV two-pole carrier-removal filter can be reduced by placing additional capacitors in C6 and C10. Envelope reference carrier-removal filter (FLT1). The internal filter that removes the carrier from the envelope reference dc voltage can be augmented by placing a capacitor in C2. Alternate interface. The P2 edge connector provides an alternate access point to the various ADL5511 signals.
