129023-HMC839LP6CE

Evaluation and Demonstration Boards and Kits are key components of a development and test platform. The 129023-HMC839LP6CE Evaluation and Demonstration Board is one such kit that provides a highly integrated platform for applications including receiver-in-loop (RIL) development. The evaluation board includes a programmable frequency synthesizer, voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), a reference oscillator, an intermediate-frequency (IF) filter, and an IF amplifier, and a mixer. All of these components make up the basic board which serves as an evaluation tool for system developers and R&D engineers.

The 129023-HMC839LP6CE is designed to reduce overall development and testing time by providing all the necessary components for prototyping and debugging a variety of applications. The kit quickly assembles various components such as frequency synthesisers and VCOs to create a complete receiver-in-loop environment. This environment allows engineers to quickly debug many different applications while benefitting from a lower component count.

The board consists of an embedded setup module, RF receiver, Filters, Variable RF signal generator, Oscillator testing module, and Test circuitry. The embedded module is based on the 129023-HMC839LP6CE processor that supports embedded code execution from Flash/EEPROM/OTP. The embedded module is based on the 139023-HMC839LP6CE platform, which provides a number of features including flexible on-the-fly voltage and I2C control, clock generation, and debugging through a dedicated debug port. The embedded module also includes up to four clock inputs, which allows multiple applications to run simultaneously.

The RF receiver consists of a programmable frequency synthesizer, VCO, IF filter, IF amplifier, and a mixer. The frequency synthesizer provides programmable frequencies from hundreds of kilohertz to gigahertz with milliseconds of phase-locked loop (PLL) stability. The VCO helps in fine tuning the PLL to accurately control the overall loop performance. The IF filter, IF amplifier, and mixer effectively provide high-gain signal amplification. The RIL receiver also supports full-duplex input or output up to 50MHz.

The variable RF signal generator module is designed to generate low-noise, adjustable frequency signals to use in testing the IF frequency response of the 129023-HMC839LP6CE receiver. The signal generator is realized with an integrated programmable frequency synthesizer with accuracy in Hz, and its output frequency can be set up to hundreds of MHz with a few clicks on the controller. The oscillator testing module provides users with a convenient way to check the proper performance of the 129023-HMC839LP6CE\'s oscillator circuits with an integrated programmable oscillator tester.

This Evaluation and Demonstration Board has many advantages such as testing and debugging of the 129023-HMC839LP6CE circuit, easy implementation of multiple applications with four clock inputs, variable RF signal generator, and the ability to easily debug the 129023-HMC839LP6CE circuit. This kit is designed for convenient prototyping and debugging of a variety of applications including RIL development.
