Analog Devices Inc. EV-ADF4030SD1Z Evaluation Boards

Analog Devices EV-ADF4030SD1Z Evaluation Boards evaluate the performance of the ADF4030 10-channel precision synchronizer. These boards must be connected to the SDP K1 controller board through the Arduino connectors P5, P17, P18, and P16. Multiple EV-ADF4030SD1Z evaluation boards can be stacked onto the SDP-K1 controller board using the Arduino connector. The EV-ADF4030SD1Z evaluation boards provide access to ten ADF4030 BSYNC bidirectional I/O lines using Twinax and SMA connectors. These evaluation boards are used in 5G timing transport, high-precision synchronization, Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) pin electronics, and phased array radar applications.
