EVALUATION BOARD

The ADL6010-EVALZ is a fully populated, 4-layer, Rogers

4003-based evaluation board. For normal operation, it only

requires a 5 V supply connected to VPOS and GND. The RF

input signal is accepted at a high performance 2.92 mm

connector (RFIN). The output voltage is available on the SMA

connector (VOUT) or on the test loop (V_OUT). Configuration

options for the evaluation board are listed in Table 4.

Component

Function/Comments

Default Value

R1, R2

Output interfaces. Use a 100 Ω series resistor when driving highly capacitive loads. R2 can be

replaced with a 0 Ω resistor.

R1 = 100 Ω (0402 size),

R2 = 100 Ω (0402 size)

C1, C2

Output load capacitors. Capacitive load at the output that provides the option of tailoring the

RF burst response time. The pads of the capacitors are left open by default.

C1, C2 = open

C3, C4

Bypass capacitors. The capacitors provide supply ac decoupling by forming a return path for the

ac signal and reducing the noise reaching the input circuitry. The typical value is 0.1 µF.

C3 = 0.1 µF (0402 size),

C4 = 100 pF (0402 size)

RFIN

RF input. Southwest Microwave 2.92 mm connector is used for input interface. To prevent the

potential damage of the connectors, 2.92 mm (K type) cables are recommended.
