  1. The EVAL-ADF4001EB2 is a general-purpose evaluation board with all auxiliary components (decoupling capacitors, power supply regulators) but without VCO or loop filter. It contains the ADF4001BRU. The customer can choose a VCO to meet the frequency requirements and design the loop filter to fit the application needs.

  2. The EVAL-ADF411XEB1 is a general-purpose evaluation board with all auxiliary components (decoupling capacitors, power supply regulators) but without the synthesizer, VCO or loop filter. It can accommodate all devices in the ADF4110 and ADF4116 families as well as the ADF4106 and ADF4107. This board should be ordered if the customer's requirements are different from what is listed for boards 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 above. Samples of the specific synthesizer should be ordered at the same time. The customer can then insert this on the board, choose a VCO to meet the frequency requirements and design the loop filter to fit the application needs.

  3. The EVAL-ADF4108EB1 is a general-purpose evaluation board with all auxiliary components (decoupling capacitors, power supply regulators) but without VCO or reference frequency. It contains the ADF4108BRU. It is designed for hook-up to an external VCO. The customer can choose an external VCO to meet the frequency requirements and design the loop filter to fit the application needs. The loop filter has been designed for 40kHz loop bandwidth when hooked up to the Hittite HMC506LP4 7.8GHz VCO.

  4. The EVAL-ADF4007EB1 is a general-purpose evaluation board with all auxiliary components (decoupling capacitors, power supply regulators) but without VCO or reference frequency. It contains the ADF4007BCP. It is designed for hook-up to an external VCO. The customer can choose an external VCO to meet the frequency requirements and design the loop filter to fit the application needs.
