| Kit Overview
The ADF4153A evaluation board (EV-ADF4153ASD1ZEV-ADF4153ASD1Z) is designed to allow the user to evaluate the performance of the ADF4153AADF4153A frequency synthesizer for phase-locked loops (PLLs). The board contains the ADF4153A synthesizer, an edge mounted SMA connector for the RF output signal, power supply connectors, a temperature compensated reference oscillator (TCXO) of 25 MHz frequency, and an SDP connector. There is also a loop filter (50 kHz) and a VCO (Mini-Circuits ROS-1800+) on board.
This evaluation board requires an SDP-S Controller Board (EVAL-SDP-CS1ZEVAL-SDP-CS1Z) for connection to the PC. The SDP Controller Board connects to the PC via USB 2.0. The evaluation board will connect to the SDP controller board. The evaluation board cannot be connected directly to the PC. The evaluation software running on the PC will communicate through the SDP Controller Board to the evaluation board. The package also contains Windows
The ADF4153AADF4153A is a fractional-N frequency synthesizer that implements local oscillators in the upconversion and downconversion sections of wireless receivers and transmitters. It consists of a low noise digital phase frequency detector (PFD), a precision charge pump, and a programmable reference divider. A sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) based fractional interpolator allows programmable fractional-N division. The INT, FRAC, and MOD registers define an overall N divider (N = (INT + (FRAC/MOD))). In addition, the 4-bit reference counter (R counter) allows selectable REFIN frequencies at the PFD input. A complete phase-locked loop (PLL) can be implemented if the synthesizer is used with an external loop filter and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO).

Development Tools
Software Development Tools:
ADIsimPLL
The ADIsimPLL design tool is a comprehensive and easy-to-use PLL synthesizer design and simulation tool. All key non-linear effects that can impact PLL performance can be simulated, including phase noise, Fractional-N spurs, and anti-backlash pulse. Fully compatible with prior releases, the ADIsimPLL design tool eliminates time-consuming iterations from the PLL/synthesizer development process. The control software for the EV-ADF4153ASD1Z accompanies EV-ADF4153ASD1Z on a CD.
Hardware Development Tools:
SDP-S Controller Board
This evaluation board requires an SDP-S Controller Board for connection to the PC. The SDP-S Controller Board connects to the PC via USB 2.0. The evaluation board will connect to the SDP controller board. The evaluation board cannot be connected directly to the PC. The evaluation software running on the PC will communicate through the SDP Controller Board to the evaluation board. The SDP Controller Board should be ordered separately (EVAL-SDP-CS1ZEVAL-SDP-CS1Z). If you have not previously purchased an SDP Controller Board, please do so to ensure a full evaluation setup.
