Analog Devices Inc. EV-ADF4378SD1Z Evaluation Kit
Analog Devices EV-ADF4378SD1Z Evaluation Kit allows users to evaluate the ADF4378 frequency synthesizer with an integrated voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) for phase-locked loops (PLLs). The EV-ADF4378SD1Z includes the ADF4378 frequency synthesizer with an integrated VCO, a USB interface, power supply connectors, propagation delay calibration paths, an on-board reference oscillator, and Subminiature Version A (SMA) connectors. The kit outputs are AC-coupled with 50Ω transmission lines, ideal for the outputs to drive 50Ω impedance instruments. The EV-ADF4378SD1Z requires an SDP-S Controller Board (not supplied with the kit). The SDP-S provides software programming of the ADI EV-ADF4378SD1Z with ACE software.
