Analog Devices EVAL-ADRF5142 Evaluation Board User Guide
User guide for the ADRF5142-EVALZ board, evaluating the ADRF5142 40W peak silicon SPDT switch operating from 8 GHz to 11 GHz on an 8-layer Rogers 4003C PCB.
Overview
This user guide (UG-2215) provides technical details and operational instructions for the ADRF5142-EVALZ evaluation board. The board is designed to evaluate the ADRF5142, a high-power, 40 W peak silicon single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch operating in the 8 GHz to 11 GHz frequency range. The guide covers hardware specifications, including the 8-layer PCB stackup using Rogers 4003C for 50 Ω impedance control and thermal management via through-vias. It provides a complete schematic, assembly diagrams, and a bill of materials, alongside testing procedures, biasing sequences, and calibration instructions using the onboard through-line.
Use Cases
- Performance evaluation of the ADRF5142 switch
- High-power RF signal routing
- X-band radar system design
- Communication equipment testing
- Thermal management assessment in RF designs
