EVALUATION BOARD

The schematic of the ADL5243 evaluation board is shown in

Figure 65. All RF traces on the evaluation board have a

characteristic impedance of 50 Ω and are fabricated from

Rogers3003 material. The traces are CPWG with a width of

25 mils, spacing of 20 mils, and dielectric thickness of 10 mils.

The input and output to the DSA and amplifier should be ac-

coupled with capacitors of appropriate value to ensure

broadband performance. The bias to AMP1 is provided through

a choke connected to the AMP1OUT pin and, similarly, bias to

AMP2 is provided through a choke connected to the AMP2OUT

pin. Bypassing capacitors are recommended on all supply lines

to minimize RF coupling. The DSA and the amplifiers can be

individually biased or connected to the VDD plane through

Resistors R1, R2, and R11.

When configuring the ADL5243 evaluation board in the

AMP1-DSA-AMP2 loop, remove Capacitors C1, C4, C5, and

C8 and remove Resistor R10. Place 100 pF in place of C2, 10 pF

in place of C6, and 0 Ω in place of C7 and C24. If needed,

placing a shunt capacitor (1.3 pF) at the output of the DSA

improves the output return loss of this loop.

On the digital signal traces, provisions for an RC filter are made

to clean any potential coupled noise. In normal operation,

Resistors R3 to R9 are 0 Ω and Capacitors C9 to C15 are open.
