Analog DevicesAD9523-1/PCBZ

Evaluation board for evaluating AD9523 and AD9523-1. The AD9523-1 is designed to support the clock requirements for long-term evolution (LTE) and multicarrier GSM base station designs. It relies on an external VCXO to provide the reference jitter cleanup to achieve the restrictive low phase noise requirements necessary for acceptable data converter SNR performance. The AD9523-1 evaluation board is a compact, easy-to-use plat form for evaluating all features of the AD9523-1. A 122.88 MHz VCXO is mounted on the evaluation board to provide a complete solution.

• Simple power connection using USB connection and
• on-board LDO voltage regulators
• LDOs are easily bypassed for power measurements
• AC-coupled differential SMA connectors
• SMA connectors for:

• Microsoft Windows®–based evaluation software
• with simple graphical user interface
• On-board PLL loop filter
• Easy access to digital I/O and diagnostic signals via I/O header
• Status LEDs for diagnostic signals
• USB computer interface
• Software calculator provides flexibility, allowing programming of almost any rational input/output frequency ratio
