GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The evaluation board incorporates the ADMV4630, low dropout

(LDO) regulators, and the EVAL-SDP-CS1Z (SDP-S) controller

board to allow simplified, efficient evaluation of the ADMV4630. The

SDP-S controller board allows the configuration of the ADMV4630

ware. The LDO regulators allow the EVAL-ADMV4630Z to be pow-

ered by a 5 V single supply.

The ADMV4630 is a Ku-band upconverter optimized for various

satellite communication (SATCOM) user terminals operating in the

14.0 GHz to 14.5 GHz frequency range. The ADMV4630 upconvert-

er comes in a compact, thermally enhanced, 6 mm × 6 mm, 40-lead

frame chip scale package (LFCSP). The ADMV4630 operates over

the −40°C to +85°C case temperature range.

For full details on the ADMV4630, see the ADMV4630 data sheet,

which must be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when

using the EVAL-ADMV4630Z.

The EVAL-ADMV4630Z comes with an on-board ADMV4630 chip.

When evaluating the ADMV4630 device, connect the IF input to

an RF signal generator. The EVAL-ADMV4630Z runs on a 5 V dc

supply. Connect the 5 V dc supply to the VCC_5V test point and the

ground to the GND1 test point.

Figure 2 shows the block diagram of the EVAL-ADMV4630Z lab

bench setup.

INSTALLING THE ACE SOFTWARE AND

ADMV4630 PLUGINS AND DRIVERS

The EVAL-ADMV4630Z software uses the Analog Devices, Inc.,

ACE software. Ensure that the ACE software is installed before

setting up or using the EVAL-ADMV4630Z. For instructions on how

to install and use the ACE software, go to www.analog.com/ACE.

If the ACE software has already been installed on the PC, en-

sure that it is the latest version that is shown on the www.ana-

log.com/ACE page.

1. Install the latest version of ACE software. In the ACE Setup

window, ensure that the SDP Drivers, LRF Drivers, and .NET

4.8 driver installations are selected as well (see Figure 3), then

click Install.

Figure 3. Drivers to Install with ACE Software

2. The EVAL-ADMV4630Z plugin can be downloaded and instal-

led from the ACE plugin manager.

3. When the software and driver installations are finished, open

the ACE software and the EVAL-ADMV4630Z plugin appears

(see Figure 4).

Figure 4. EVAL-ADMV4630Z Plugin Window

CONFIGURING THE BOARD

To set up the EVAL-ADMV4630Z, take the following steps:

1. Connect the SDP controller board to the J3 connectors on the

EVAL-ADMV4630Z.

2. Connect the USB cable to the PC and then to the SDP-S

controller board.

3. Connect the 5 V clip lead on the power supply to the red

VCC_5V test point on the EVAL-ADMV4630Z, and connect

the GND clip lead on the power supply to the black GND1

test point. The power supply current limiting must be set to

approximately 600 mA.

4. Open the ACE software. The ADMV4630 Board plugin ap-

pears in the Attached Hardware section. Double-click the

EVAL-ADMV4630Z plugin. The ADMV4630 Board tab opens

(see Figure 5).

5. Click off the Poll Device button and double-click the

ADMV4630 button (see Figure 5).

Figure 5. ADMV4630 Board Tab

6. The ADMV4630 block diagram appears (see Figure 6).

7. Click the Initialization & Optimization button in the

ADMV4630 block diagram to initialize the device before opera-

tion.

Figure 6. ADMV4630 Block Diagram in the ACE Software

8. To set up the RF, use the following settings and measure the

output at the EVAL-ADMV4630Z RFOUT port:

►REF_IN port: reference frequency = 25 MHz, 4 dBm, and dc

block is needed.

►IF input: IF frequency = 4.1 GHz, −30 dBm.

►The gain is at minimum attenuation. Note that the chip tem-

perature is higher than 25°C for the reference frequency and

IF frequency conditions and there is part to part variation.

The gain may be lower than the typical specifications in the

ADMV4630 data sheet.
