GENERAL DESCRIPTION
EV-ADF4356SD1Z
The EV-ADF4356SD1Z evaluates the performance of the ADF4356
frequency synthesizer with an integrated voltage control (VCO) for
phase-locked loops (PLLs). The evaluation board contains the
ADF4356 frequency synthesizer with an integrated VCO, a
differential 122.88 MHz reference (TCXO), a loop filter, a USB
interface, power supply connectors, and subminiature Version A
(SMA) connectors. A USB cable is included to connect the
board to a PC USB port.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
Windows-based PC with USB port for evaluation software
System demonstration platform, serial only (SDP-S)
EVAL-SDP-CS1Z controller board
USB cable (included with the EVAL-SDP-CS1Z)
Power supply (5.5 V)
Spectrum analyzer
50 Ω terminators
This board requires an SDP-S (shown in Figure 1, but not supplied
with the kit). The SDP-S allows software programming of the
EV-ADF4356SD1Z.
When working with the evaluation board and for full
specifications of the device, consult the ADF4356 frequency
synthesizer data sheet. For easy programming of the
synthesizer, download the Windows®-based software from the
ADF4356 product page.

GETTING STARTED
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
EVALUATION BOARD SETUP PROCEDURES
See the ADF4356 product page for the EV-ADF4356SD1Z
control software. For the software installation procedure, see
the PLL Software Installation Guide.
To run the software,
1.
2.
3.
Click the ADF4356 file on the desktop or from the Start
menu.
On the Select Device and Connection tab, choose
ADF4356 and SDP board (black), and then click Connect
(see Figure 2).
When connecting the board, allow 5 sec to 10 sec for the
label on the status bar to change.
15087-002
Under the File menu, the current settings can be saved to, and
loaded from, a text file.

EV-ADF4356SD1Z User Guide
EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
The EV-ADF4356SD1Z requires the SDP-S platform that uses
the EVAL-SDP-CS1Z (SDP-B is not recommended).
The EV-ADF4356SD1Z schematics are shown in Figure 6, and
Figure 7. The evaluation board silkscreen is shown in Figure 8.
POWER SUPPLIES
The board is powered by a 5.5 V power supply connected to the
red and black banana connectors. Connect the red connector to
a 5.5 V power supply and the black connector to ground. Reversal
of the connections to the red and black banana connectors can
cause catastrophic failure of the HMC1060 low noise regulator.
The HMC1060 low noise regulator is configured to supply 5 V
for the charge pump and VCO supply pins, and 3.3 V for the
remaining supply pins.
REFERENCE SOURCE
The evaluation board contains a 122.88 MHz differential output
TCXO from Vectron International. If preferred, the user may
supply either a single-ended or differential reference input to
REFINA/REFINB SMA connectors. When using an external
reference, remove R7 to disconnect the power rail to the TCXO.
To use a single-ended REFINx, connect a low noise, 122.88 MHz
reference source to the REFINA SMA connector. Remove Resistor R6 (100 Ω) and insert R10 (50 Ω) and R15 (50 Ω).
To use a differential REFINx, connect the differential signal to
the REFINA and the REFINB SMA connectors. The differential
REFINA/REFINB SMA connectors can operate to a 500 MHz
input frequency.
RF OUTPUT
DEFAULT CONFIGURATION
The EV-ADF4356SD1Z has two pairs of SMA output
connectors: RFOUTA+/RFOUTA− and RFOUTB+/RFOUTB−
(differential outputs). Because they are sensitive to impedance
mismatch, connect the RF outputs to equal load impedances.
If only one port of a differential pair is used, terminate the
complementary port with an equal load terminator (in general,
a 50 Ω terminator).
All components necessary for local oscillator (LO) or clock
generation are inserted on the board. This board is shipped with
the ADF4356 synthesizer with an integrated VCO, a differential
122.88 MHz reference TCXO, and a 80 kHz loop filter (ICP =
0.9 mA).
LOOP FILTER
The loop filter schematic is included in the board schematic in
Figure 6. For lowest rms phase noise, use the following
components (that are inserted on the evaluation board) with a
0.9 mA charge pump current:
•
•
C22 = 120 pF, C29 = 2700 pF, C33 = 22 pF
R33 = 2.7 kΩ, R34 = 10 kΩ
Narrower loop filter bandwidths have lower spurious signals.

EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE
MAIN CONTROLS
The Main Controls tab (see Figure 4) selects the RF and user
configurable register settings. Consult the register descriptions
of the ADF4356 data sheet for details. Default settings are
recommended for most registers.
In the Register 4 section, program the CP current dropdown
menu to match the value used for the loop filter design.
15087-005
In the RF Settings section, ensure that the VCOout (MHz) box
equals the VCO frequency. Set the Output divider dropdown
menu to give the required RFoutA± (MHz).
Ensure that the Reference freq. value equals the applied
reference signal. The PFD frequency is calculated from the
reference frequency, the R counter, the reference doubler, and
the reference divide by 2. Ensure that the value in PFD (MHz)
matches the value specified in the loop filter design.

EVALUATION AND TEST
Install the ADF4356 software (see the PLL Software
Installation Guide).
2. Follow the hardware driver installation procedure
(Windows XP only).
3. Connect a 50 Ω terminator to RFOUTA−.
4. Connect the EV-ADF4356SD1Z board to the SDP-S board.
5. Connect the 5.5 V power supply to the banana connectors
and power on the board.
6. Connect the USB cable from the SDP-S board to the PC.
7. Run the ADF4356 software.
8. Select ADF4356 and SDP board (black) in the Select
Device and Connection tab of the software front panel
display window (see Figure 2).
9. Click the Main Controls tab, and set the VCOout (MHz)
to a frequency of 5000 MHz.
10. Click Write Init. Seq.
11. Connect the spectrum analyzer to SMA connector
RFOUTA+, see Figure 3 for a typical evaluation setup.
12. Measure the output spectrum and single-sideband phase
noise.
Figure 5 shows a phase noise plot of the SMA RFOUTA+ equal
to 5 GHz.
