GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADRF6620 is a highly integrated active mixer and
synthesizer ideally suited for next generation communication
systems. The feature rich device consists of a high linearity
broadband active mixer, an integrated fractional-N phase-
locked loop (PLL), a low phase noise multicore voltage
controlled oscillator (VCO), and an IF digitally programmable
variable gain amplifier (DGA). In addition, the ADRF6620
also integrates a 4:1 RF switch, an on-chip tunable RF balun,
programmable RF attenuator, and LDOs. This highly integrated
device fits within a small 7 mm × 7 mm footprint.
This user guide describes the ADRF6620-EVAL Z evaluation
board, which provides all of the support circuitry required to
operate the ADRF6620 in its various configurations. The
application software used to interface with the device is also
described.
The ADRF6620 data sheet, available at www.analog.com,
which provides additional information, should be consulted
when working with this evaluation board.
