Analog DevicesAD9516-5/PCBZ

The AD9516 evaluation board is a compact, easy-to-use platform for evaluating all features of the AD9516 . For the AD9516-5, which lacks an internal VCO, certain portions of this document that apply to the internal VCO (such as VCO calibration) can be ignored.

• Simple power connection using 6 V wall adapter and on-board LDO voltage regulators
• LDOs are easily bypassed for power measurements
• 8 ac-coupled differential LVPECL SMA connectors
• 2 ac-coupled LVPECL differential headers
• 2 dc-coupled differential LVDS SMA connectors that are reconfigurable to four CMOS SMA connectors
• 2 dc-coupled LVDS differential headers that are reconfigurable to four CMOS connectors
• SMA connectors for

              -2 reference inputs
