EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
The E VA L -ADF4150EB1Z schematics are shown in Figure 23,
Figure 24, Figure 25 and Figure 26. The silkscreen of the
evaluation board is shown in Figure 2.
POWER SUPPLIES
The board is powered from external banana connectors. The
supply voltage should be 5.5 V. The power supply circuit uses
high precision, low noise ADP150AUJZ-3.3 linear regulators
and ADP3334ARMZ adjustable LDO regulators to provide 3.3 V
to V
on the board (which supplies the ADF4151 AVDD , DVDD ,
DD
and SDV
pins) and 5 V to the ADF4150 VP.
DD
INPUT SIGNALS
The reference signal is necessary for proper operation of the
synthesizer. It can be sourced from a provided TCXO or an
external generator, which can be connected to the REFIN edge
mount connector. To u se an external reference generator, it is
necessary to remove R1 and R2 to disconnect the TCXO from
the reference input and from the supply. R3 can be populated
with a 50 Ω resistor to adjust the impedance matching of the
evaluation board to the external reference source.
Digital SPI signals are supplied from the Cypress microcontroller, U6, which is used for communication with the USB port of
the PC.
also be used to provide an external supply for the on-board
VCO; however, if an external supply for VCO is used, Resistor R31
must be removed to disconnect the connector from the output
of the on-board voltage regulator.
Optionally, an external VCO can be used. In this case,
it is
necessary to remove R29 and insert a 0 Ω link at R46 to form a
connection between the loop filter output and the VTUNE
SMA edge mount connector. Remove R31 to disconnect the onboard VCO from the power supply. Remove Resistor R26 to
disconnect the output of the on-board VCO from the RF signal
path, and replace Resistors R27 and R28 with 0 Ω links to
ensure operation of the VCO_I/O connector as an input from
an external VCO.
OUTPUT SIGNALS
All components necessary for LO generation are inserted on
the board. The PLL is made up of the ADF4150 synthesizer, a
fourth-order passive loop filter, and the VCO. The loop filter
must be inserted between the charge pump output and the
VCO input, as shown in Figure 26. If replacing the VCO, a
VCO in a T-package (or similar) must be used. The RF output
is available at the edge mount SMA connector, VCO_I/ O, and
the differential RF output of the part is connected to the
RFOUT+ and RFOUT− edge mount SMA connectors.
DEFAULT OPERATION SETTINGS
This board is shipped with a TCXO that provides a reference
frequency of 25 MHz, a fourth-order low-pass filter with 30 kHz
bandwidth at I
= 2.325 mA, and a VCO with a 1.7 GHz to
CP
1.8 GHz frequency range. To te st the performance of the part
for a different frequency range and different loop filter, the
relevant components on the board must be changed.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
The VVCO connector can be used as a test point to measure the
supply voltage of the VCO in its default configuration. It can

EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE
The control software for the EVA L-ADF4150EB1Z is available
on the CD included in the evaluation kit. To install the software,
see the Software Installation section.
To run the software, first connect the board to the USB port of
the PC and then click the ADF4150 file on the desktop or in the
Start menu (note that the revision number may be included in
the file name). Confirm that USB OK is displayed at the top
right corner of the software front panel display window (see
Figure 17). Otherwise, the software has no connection to the
evaluation board.
Note that, when connecting the board, it takes about 5 sec to
10 sec for the status label to change.
If the software is started before the board is connected to USB
port, an error window opens, informing that the USB device was
not found, and the No USB message is displayed in the top right
corner of the software front panel window. In this case, connect
the board to the USB port and click the Connect USB button.

UG-380 Evaluation Board User Guide
Use the Frequency text box in the Reference section to set the
correct reference frequency. The default reference on the
software window is at 25 MHz and matches the frequency of the
TCXO present on the board.
Use the Output Frequency section to control the output
frequency. To achieve single-tone on the RF output, type the
desired output frequency in the Activate f1 text box (in megahertz) and ensure that Stop is selected in the Dynamic section
under Output Frequency. Selecting the Alternate option
causes the frequency on the VCO output to switch between the
Activate f1 and Activate f2 values. The delay time between
frequency switches is controlled by the Approximate Delay
option. The third option of the Dynamic section, Sweep, allows
the output frequency to constantly change with the frequency
step set by Channel Spacing starting from Activate f1 until it
reaches Activate f2. When the Activate f2 frequency is reached,
the sweep is repeated. Note that the Sweep option is not allowed
if the Activate f1 and Activate f2 frequencies require different
settings for the output divider (the Out Div box in the Outputs
section). However, the Alternate option allows both frequencies
to be achieved with different output divider values.
Some register settings may need to be set manually. Click the
Register 1 to Register 5 buttons to open the register settings
windows (see Figure 18).
Click the REGISTERS button to display the binary and
hexadecimal values for all registers, as shown in Figure 20.
When a new register setting value is entered (see Figure 18),
the relevant Update Rx (where x = 0 to 5) button becomes red,
indicating that it must be clicked to program the part with the
new value. Clicking the Update ALL button programs all
register values simultaneously.
Click the OK button to confirm the new value in the Register x
Settings (where x = 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) window (see Figure 18).
Click Update Rx to program the part with the new value. The
new value is retained in the Register x Settings window if it is
opened again.
If the value entered is outside of the range specified in the
ADF4150 data sheet, an error message appears and the field is
automatically updated to the lowest or highest value within the
allowed range. Some limits are changed dynamically based on
the values of other registers; for example, the highest allowed
value for Phase in Register 1 Settings window depends on
current value of the modulus (MOD in the Settings section),
which is calculated based on the data from the Reference
section and the Channel Spacing box in the Output Frequency
section.
Click the C
the new value is not retained in the Register x Settings window
if it is opened again.
By clicking the Frac/Mod button, you can choose different
modes of operation, including programming of specified
integer, modulus, fractional, and output divider values. The
output frequency and channel spacing are calculated automatically when the values shown in Figure 19 are entered in the
Frac_Mod_Form window.

EVALUATION AND TEST
To evaluate and test the performance of the ADF4150, use the
following procedure:
1. If using a different VCO and loop filter than provided on
the board, ensure that a VCO and loop filter are properly
inserted on the board. Use ADIsimPLL to generate the
loop filter component values.
2. Install the ADF4150 software. Connect the evaluation
board to a PC using the supplied USB cable. Follow the
hardware driver installation procedure that appears.
3. If the on-board crystal oscillator is used, skip this step.
If an external reference is necessary, connect a reference
signal to the REFIN edge mount connector.
4. Connect the power supply to the board.
5. Connect a spectrum analyzer to Connector VCO_I/O.
6. Run the ADF4150 software.
7. In the software window, set the RF output center frequency
(Figure 21 shows a screenshot of the spectrum analyzer
taken at a frequency of 1750 MHz, which is in the midrange
of the provided VCO). Set the PFD frequency as defined
in ADIsimPLL, and program the reference frequency to
25 MHz if the on-board TCXO is used or to the frequency
that has been supplied to the REFIN connector. See Figure 22
for the suggested setup.
8. Measure the output spectrum. Figure 21 shows a
1750 MHz output.
