GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
 evaluation board is designed to allow 
the user to evaluate the performance of th
 frequency 
synthesizer consisting of an integrated PLL and VCO (see Figure 1). 
It contains the ADF4360-3BCPZ, a USB connector, and SMA 
connectors for the RF outputs. Unpopulated SMA footprints are 
available for the power supplies, the chip enable (CE), and the 
external reference input. The evaluation board also contains the 
loop filter to complete the PLL. It can be modified as necessary for 
the PLL requirements of the user. A USB cable is included with 
the board to allow software programmability from a PC. 
The package also contains a CD with Windows® software to allow 
quick, user-friendly programming of the synthesizer. The CD 
contains additional PLL data sheets, technical notes, articles, and 
ADIsimPLL™ V3.4 (Analog Devices, Inc., PLL simulation 
software). More information is available a
