EVALUATION BOARD PCB
The evaluation board has four connectors as shown in Figure 8.
The RF input connector (J4) is a high frequency precision SMA
connector from Emerson. This connector is mechanically
compatible with SMA, 3.5 mm, and 2.92 mm cables.

Figure 8. Evaluation Board Silkscreen—Top View
The evaluation board is powered from a single 3.0 V to 3.6 V
supply, which should be connected to the J1 SMA connector.
The power supply can also be connected using the T3 (VDDx)
and T2 (GND) test points.
The differential RF outputs are brought out on the J2 and J3
SMA connectors. If only one of the outputs is being used, the
unused output should be correctly terminated using a 50 Ω
SMA termination.
The chip enable (CE) pin can be controlled using the T1 test
point. If this function is not required, the test point can be left
unconnected.
PCB MATERIAL STACK-UP
The evaluation board is built using Rogers RO4003C material
(0.008 inch). RF track widths are 0.015 inch to achieve a controlled
50 Ω characteristic impedance. The complete PCB stack-up is
shown in Figure 9.

APPLICATION CIRCUIT
The ADF5002 can be connected either single-ended or differ-
entially to any of the Analog Devices PLL family of ICs. It is
recommended that a differential connection be used for best
performance and to achieve maximum power transfer. The
application circuit shown in Figure 10 shows the ADF5002
used as the RF prescaler in a microwave 16 GHz PLL loop. The
ADF5002 divides the 16 GHz RF signal down to 2 GHz, which
is input differentially into the ADF4156 PLL. An active filter
topology, using the OP184 op amp, is used to provide the wide
tuning ranges typically required by microwave VCOs.
The positive input pin of the OP184 is biased at half the ADF4156
charge pump supply (V
P
). This can be easily achieved using a
simple resistor divider, ensuring sufficient decoupling close to
the +IN A pin of the OP184. This configuration, in turn, allows
the use of a single positive supply for the op amp. Alternatively,
to optimize performance by ensuring a clean bias voltage, a low
noise regulator such as the ADP150 can be used to power the
resistor divider network or the +IN A pin directly.
