SRC5G027-EVB-1

The SRC5G027-EVB-1 evaluation board is a high-end RF Evaluation and Development Kit. It is designed to evaluate the SRC5G027 28-GHz Fractional-N PLL (Phase Locked Loop). This evaluation board comes with all the necessary hardware components to help simplify and streamline the development process. This includes a 128-bit wireless control unit (WCU) with an integrated general-purpose processor, a high-performance Voltage Controller Interface (VCI) for the wireless communication feature set, and a temperature sensor for advanced thermal monitoring.

SRC5G027-EVB-1 is ideal for development of software and hardware applications in the high-speed and digital domain. It allows engineers to evaluate the PLLs’ performance characteristics and helps implement key features of the device such as integrated fractional-N PLL (FN-PLL) modulators, fast lock loop acquisition and low-power operation. Most importantly, it allows engineers to quickly verify the performance of the hardware designed for their project.

The board contains two main components: the PLL, which is based on Adobe Anchor’s PLL technology, and the signal generator, which is based on the SRC5G027 microcontroller. The PLL is programmed to operate in a range of frequencies up to 28 GHz, and is tightly coupled with the signal generator to provide a wide range of signal processing applications. The frequency of the signal generated by the PLL can be tuned from the Wi-Fi control unit (WCU) or can be controlled remotely through the internet.

The board also includes a digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) which is connected to the microcontroller’s output pins. This DAC controls the output power of the PLL. The PLL’s internal voltage can also be measured using the VC2 which is connected to the WCU. Finally, the board includes a temperature sensor for measuring the chip’s ambient temperature in order to maintain thermal stability.

The aforementioned components are all enclosed within a 4”x6” board, including connectors and some basic test instruments. The board functions as a stand-alone device, enabling engineers to measure, evaluate and test the performance of the SRC5G027-EVB-1 evaluation kit. This evaluation board is easy to setup and offers high levels of performance.

In conclusion, the SRC5G027-EVB-1 evaluation board is an excellent tool for RF evaluation and development. It allows engineers to quickly and conveniently verify the performance of their hardware design and can be used for a wide range of applications. This evaluation kit helps simplify and streamline the development process, making it easier to bring new products to market in a timely manner.
