Overview

This document provides comprehensive instructions for the ADRF5702-EVALZ evaluation board, designed to test the ADRF5702 8-bit silicon digital attenuator. The ADRF5702 operates from 50MHz to 20GHz with a 31.875dB attenuation range. The guide includes detailed hardware specifications such as a 4-layer PCB stack-up using Rogers 4003 dielectric for 50Ω controlled impedance, power supply requirements (3.3V/5V), and RF connection details via 2.92mm connectors. It features a complete schematic, assembly diagrams, and a bill of materials listing components from Murata, Passive Plus, Yageo, and Hirose Electronic.

Use Cases

  • RF signal chain attenuation control
  • Broadband wireless infrastructure
  • Microwave point-to-point radios
  • Military and space communication systems
  • Test and measurement equipment calibration
