Product Details

The ADMV1455-EVALZ is available for evaluating the ADMV1455 wideband microwave downconverter. The ADMV1455-EVALZ incorporates the ADMV1455 chip, as well as a power regulator and an interface to the EVAL-SDP-CS1Z (SDP-S) system demonstration platform (SDP) controller board to allow simple and efficient evaluation. The power regulator allows the ADMV1455 to be powered by a 5V USB-C adapter or by using a 5V external power supply.

The ADMV1455 is a highly integrated wideband, microwave downconverter for wideband radio designs operating in the 17.7GHz to 55GHz frequency range. The chip can be programmed using a 4‑wire serial peripheral interface (SPI). The SDP-S controller board allows the user to interface with the ADMV1455 SPI through the ACE Software.

For full details on the ADMV1455, see the ADMV1455 data sheet, which must be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using the ADMV1455-EVALZ.
