Evaluating the ADRF6720-27 Wideband Quadrature Modulator with
Integrated Fractional-N PLL and VCOs
phase-locked loop (PLL), and four low phase noise multicore
voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs).
FEATURES
Full featured evaluation board for the ADRF6720-27
On-board USB for SPI control
3.3 V operation
C# software interface for serial port control
The ADRF6720-27 local oscillator (LO) signal can be generated
internally via the on-chip integer-N and fractional-N synthesizers,
or externally via a high frequency, low phase noise LO signal.
The internal integrated synthesizer enables LO coverage from
356.25 MHz to 2855 MHz using the multicore VCOs. In the
case of internal LO generation or external LO input, quadrature
signals are generated with a divide by 2 phase splitter. When the
ADRF6720-27 is operated with an external 1 × LO input, a
polyphase filter generates the quadrature inputs to the mixer.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
synthesizer. In either case, the differential LO signal can be routed
off chip to the LO_OUT+ and LO_OUT− SMA connectors.
INTRODUCTION
The ADRF6720-27-EVALZ evaluation board provides all of
the support circuitry required to operate the ADRF6720-27
in its various modes and configurations. Figure 2 shows the
typical measurement setup used to evaluate the performance
of the ADRF6720-27.
For internal LO configuration using the on-chip fractional-N
synthesizer, apply a low phase noise reference signal to the REF_IN
connector. The PLL reference input supports a wide frequency
range because the divide or multiplication blocks can be used to
increase or decrease the reference frequency to the desired value
before it is passed to the phase frequency detector (PFD). The
integrated synthesizer enables continuous LO coverage from
356.25 MHz to 2855 MHz.
POWER SUPPLY
The ADRF6720-27-EVALZ evaluation board requires a 3.3 V
power supply. Connect the 3.3 V power terminals as shown in
Figure 2.
For optimum performance using an external LO source, drive
the LO inputs LO_IN− and LO_IN+ differentially. The
ADRF6720-27-EVALZ evaluation board integrates footprints
for both the Mini-Circuits TC1-1-43A+ balun and the Johanson
2500BL14M050T to satisfy the wide input frequency range of
the external LO inputs. The inputs must be ac-coupled, unless
an ac-coupled balun or transformer is used to generate the
differential LO. The input impedance of the differential LO
signals is 50 Ω.
BASEBAND INPUTS
Drive the baseband inputs (I+, I−, Q+, and Q−) from a differential
source. Place a shunt 100 Ω external resistor across the I and Q
inputs to match the differential 100 Ω impedance interface. The
nominal drive level used in the evaluation of the ADRF6720-27
is 1 V p-p differential (or 500 mV p-p on each pin). All the
baseband inputs must be externally dc biased at 2.68 V.
LO INPUT/OUTPUT
RF (MODULATOR) OUTPUT
The ADRF6720-27 offers two alternatives for generating the
differential LO input signal: externally via a high frequency low
phase noise LO signal or internally via the on-chip fractional-N
The RF output is available at the RF_OUT SMA connector, which
can drive a 50 Ω load.

EVALUATION BOARD CONTROL SOFTWARE
The ADRF6720-27-EVALZ evaluation board is configured
with a USB friendly interface to allow programmability of the
ADRF6720-27 registers.
INSTALLING EVALUATION SOFTWARE AND DRIVER
The following instructions describe how to install the
ADRF6720-27 control software, as well as the Cypress generic
USB driver, onto a Windows® PC running either a 32-bit or
64-bit operating system. Install the necessary software before
plugging the USB cable to the PC. (The following instructions
are specific for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
However, the software is also compatible with Windows 98,
Windows 2000, and Windows ME.)
1.

5.
Double-click the ADRF6720-27_Control_SW_Rev0_0_3.zip
file to extract the file.
Run the ADRF6720-27_Rev0_0_3_install.exe file from
the extracted .zip file. An icon should appear on your
desktop with the Analog Devices, Inc., logo titled
ADRF6720-27_Rev0_0_3.
When the installer is finished, install the USB driver. Plug
the RFG USB adapter into the PC using a USB cable.
In Windows XP, right click My Computer and go to
Properties > Device Manager. Then click the Hardware
tab and Device Manager.
In Windows Vista, right-click My Computer and click
Device Manager.
In Windows 7, click Device Manager.
In Device Manager, click the last category, Universal Serial
Bus Controllers, and look for an entry that either has a yellow
flag on it (for unknown device) or is labeled ADF4xxx USB
Driver (if you have installed the previous ADRF6x0x or
Analog Devices Limerick PLL software). Right-click this
device and click update driver. Browse to select where to
extract the ADRF6720-27_Control_SW_Rev0_0_3.zip
file. Click Next to complete the driver installation.
In Windows 7, install the USB signed driver. Run
ADI_RFG_Drivers_Win7.exe in the attached .zip file.
Windows 7 then recognizes the Cypress USB driver as a
signed driver.
USING ADRF6720-27 EVALUATION SOFTWARE
The ADRF6720-27 evaluation software offers a block diagram
view of how the registers affect the major functional blocks of
the ADRF6720-27. Figure 3 shows the main window of the
evaluation software. Table 1 shows the functionality of the
software main window.
Before reading or writing to the registers, validate the USB
connection by reading the USB indicators at the lower left corner of
the software. The DUT to GUI button reads the register values
from the device and updates the user interface. An automatic
write to the chip is initiated every time a register value is changed
from the user interface.
The PLL synthesizer blocks provide behind the scenes calculations;
the user only needs to specify the PLL reference and desired LO
frequency, and the software calculates and sets the INT, FRAC,
and MOD values accordingly. The green boxes require user input
while the yellow boxes are read only.
The Engineering tab, shown in Figure 4, allows specific reads
and writes to the individual registers. The address and data fields
must be input in decimal format.
