The ADL5324-EVALZ is an evaluation board for ½ watt RF driver amplifier ADL5324. This board is fully populated, 4-layer, FR4 based evaluation board. The ADL5324 incorporates a dynamically adjustable biasing circuit that allows for the customization of OIP3 and P1dB performance from 3.3V to 5V, without the need for an external bias resistor. For normal operation, it requires a single 5V/500mA supply. The 5V supply should be connected to the test loops labelled VSUP and GND. The RF input is applied to the SMA connector labelled RFIN. The RF output is available at the SMA connector labelled RFOUT. To facilitate tuning for different frequencies the RF input and RF output traces are free of solder mask and have index markings for ease of component placement. The evaluation board comes with tuning components that are optimized for operation from 2110MHz to 2170MHz.
