ADRF6602
EVALUATION BOARD
Figure 50 shows the schematic of the RoHS-compliant evaluation
board for the ADRF6602. This board has four layers and was
designed using Rogers 4350 hybrid material to minimize high
frequency losses. FR4 material is also adequate if the design can
accept the slightly higher trace loss of this material.
The evaluation board is designed to operate using the internal
VCO of the device (the default configuration) or with an external
VCO. To use an external VCO, R62 and R12 should be removed.
Place 0 Ω resistors in R63 and R11. The input of the external
VCO should be connected to the VTUNE SMA connector, and
the external VCO output should be connected to the LO IN/OUT
SMA connector. In addition to these hardware changes, internal
register settings must also be changed to enable operation with
an external VCO (see the Register 6—VCO Control and VCO
Enable (Default: 0x1E2106) section).
Additional configuration options for the evaluation board are
described in Table 10.

The evaluation board can be connected to the PC using a PC
parallel port or a USB port. These options are selectable from the
opening menu of the software interface (see Figure 48). The
evaluation board is shipped with a 25-pin parallel port cable
for connection to the PC parallel port.

To connect the evaluation board to a USB port, a USB adapter board
(EVAL-ADF4XXXZ-USB) must be purchased from Analog Devices.
This board connects to the PC using a standard USB cable with a
USB mini-connector at one end. An additional 25-pin male to 9-pin
female adapter is required to mate the ADF4XXXZ-USB board
to the 9-pin D-Sub connector on the ADRF6602 evaluation board.

default settings displayed.
