ADRF6518-EVALZ (ANALOG DEVICES)

The ADRF6518-EVALZ from Analog Devices is an ADRF6518 evaluation board. It provides a USB interface for easy filter programming, input and output SMA connections with single ended setups for both channels. There is an optional configuration for fully differential, AC or DC coupled signalling for the input and output signal paths if user desires. Easy access to the three analogue gain pins and input and output common-mode control pins are done though a 5?2 header. Measuring the peak detector is easily achieved via a 2?1 header. Enabling the ADRF6518 is done with a jumper and header combination. Access to the +3.3V/360mA single supply is achieved with clip leads to the VPS and COM test points, it has a range from +3.15V to +3.45V. Setting the filter's cut-off frequency, filter bypass mode, maximum digital gain settings, power mod and the output offset correction loop enable are all achieved via the SPI port which can be programmed via the ADRF6518 USB software.
