An LED, D6 indicates when USB power is available, and another LED, D5 indicates when the main board is powered. Switch EXT_SW is used to switch in the 5.5V supply. connecting to an analyser, the unused LO output should be terminated with a 50Ω termination. When measuring EVM or ACLR, these LO outputs should be disconnected by removing capacitors C72 & C73 so as not to load the circuit. LOOP FILTER & CHARGE PUMP CURRENT The loop filter schematic is included in the board schematic on page 4–7. The default loop filter is set to 16kHz and a charge pump setting of 5mA should be used. IQ INPUTS The ADL5375 has four differential IQ inputs. These are brought out to SMAs and should be connected to an appropriate IQ source like the Rhode & Schwarz AMIQ for example. The dc bias voltage for the IQ inputs should be set at 0.5V. RF/LO OUTPUTS The ADL5375 RF output is ac-coupled out to the RFOUT SMA. There are also two LO output SMAs which can be used to view the filtered ADF4350 RF outputs on a spectrum analyser. When REFERENCE SOURCE The 25 MHz TCXO from Rakon provides the necessary reference signal. An external REFIN may be used if desired. In this case, the on-board TCXO should be disabled by removing R59. R9 can be populated with 50 Ω to impedance match the evaluation board to the external reference source. Rev. A | Page 3 of 15 CFTL-0134-EVALZ Preliminary Technical Data SCHEMATICS Rev.

This is on the CD which accompanies the board. If the user clicks on “setup.exe”, then the install wizard guides the user through the install process. Simply follow the on-screen instructions. The software will be installed in a default directory called “C:/Program Files/Analog Devices/ADF4350”. To run the software, click on the .exe file. The Main Interface Window will appear. This is shown below in Figure 3. First make sure “USB OK” is displayed. Otherwise the software has no connection to the evaluation board. Check the cable connection and USB drivers are correctly installed. Before exiting the software disconnect the USB by clicking disconnect USB button. When disconnected the board is offline and no data is sent to the part. When the board is connected again, click USB connect button to re-enable programming. The above steps will prevent the PC from freezing up. The default settings on the software need to be changed when used with the CFTL-0134-EVALZ board. The Reference frequency should be changed from 10MHz to 25MHz. It should be then possible, with the 5.5V supply applied, to simply hit the “Update All” button and view the VCO output signal on a spectrum analyser at 1000MHz. The charge pump current (Icp)should also be updated to 5mA. Figure 3. Software Front Panel 1 Z = RoHS Compliant Part. ORDERING GUIDE Model CFTL-0134-EVALZ 1 Description Evaluation Board Rev.
