Question
We have purchased several evaluation kits of EVAL-ADF7012DBZ5 and
EVAL-ADF7021-NDBZ5 but couldn’t find information on the CD about the missing
components for the RF match and loop filter and for the quartz which must be
placed on the evaluation board. Without this information we can’t use the
evaluation kits. Could you please send me the missing information?
Answer
The ADF7021-NBX and ADF7021 Evaluation Notes contain guides on selecting these
values. In addition, the Bill of Materials for sample match and loop values for
different bands are included.
You need to install the ADF7xxx Evaluation Software. Afterwards the PDF can be
found under:
Start ->All Programs -> Analog Devices -> ADF7xxx -> ADF7021-N ->
ADF7021-NDBX Eval Note
Example: page 16 has the values for 862MHz-870MHz (as found on the
EVAL-ADF7021-NDBZ2 board)
The is also the case for the ADF7012.
The software can be downloaded from the ADI site:
