EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE QUICK START PROCEDURES INSTALLING THE ACE SOFTWARE AND ADL5580 PLUG-INS The ADL5580-EVALZ evaluation board connects to the SDP-S for quick evaluation of the ADL5580. The ADL5580-EVALZ is configured over the USB from a panel within the ACE software, which can be downloaded from the ACE software page. When the ACE software installation is complete, the user must install the ACE Evaluation Board Plug-ins that are provided with the evaluation package to the hard drive of the PC.
Double-click the Board.ADL5580.1.2019.22300.acezip file to install the evaluation board plug-ins.
Ensure that the Board.ADL5580.1.2019.22300 and Chip. ADL5580.1.2019.22300 folders are located in the C:\ProgramData\Analog Devices\ACE\Plugins folder.
SINGLE-TONE DEMONSTRATION WITH ACE
Use the following settings to configure the ADL5580 to amplify a 100 MHz sine wave using the ACE software:
• Configure the hardware according to the Hardware Setup section and what is shown in Figure 5.
• Set the frequency of the signal generator to 100 MHz and the output level to −20 dBm. Optionally, connect the spectrum analyzer to the J3 and J4 connectors using an external balun (for example, the HYPERLABS 2:1 balun was used).
• Set RF off state. • Use 2.92 mm, 40 GHz, female Southwest Microwave
connectors at J1, J2, J3, and J4 on the ADL5580-EVALZ. Connect these connectors to the Subminiature Version A (SMA), 3.5 mm connector with care. However, it is suggested to use a 2.92 mm, SMA adaptor to avoid any potential damage.
• Power up the ADL5580-EVALZ.
• Launch the ACE application. This action displays the initial ACE start page as shown in Figure 6. The ADL5580-EVALZ is detected automatically and displays under Attached Hardware.
• Click the ADL5580-EVALZ icon to open the evaluation board level view shown in Figure 7. Because the ADL5580-EVALZ is a simple evaluation board, only the ADL5580 represents as a controllable component.
• Click the ADL5580 icon to open the IC level view as shown in Figure 8.
• Configure the ADL5580 in the ChipView (see Figure 7) as follows: • Select the Pin 19 check box to select EN. • Ensure that the Enable Ref and the Enable Amp
check boxes are selected. Enable Ref enables the internal voltage, and Enable Amp enables the amplifier section (see Figure 8).
• Under the Input Termination Mode dropdown menu, select Internal VCM Enabled, VCMI Pin Disconnected (see Figure 8).
• Under the Output Termination Mode dropdown menu, select Internal VCM Enabled, VCMO Pin Disconnected (see Figure 8).
• Set C Peak (defaults to 3), if necessary (see Figure 8). • Set Input CM Voltage and Output CM Voltage, if
necessary (see Figure 8). • Click Apply Changes for the changes to take effect (see
Figure 8). Repeat the previous step to enable or disable the ADL5580-EVALZ with the hardware enabled.
• Set RF on state at the signal generator. • With the signal generator set to an output level of −20 dBm,
the power gain is 13 dB at 1 GHz. However, note that this value is affected by cabling and balun losses on the signal path.

USING THE ADL5580-EVALZ EVALUATION BOARD LOSSES AND SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO (SNR) DEGRADATION The ADL5580 provides a nominal 10 dB of voltage gain defined between the input and output pins, which translates to a power gain of 13 dB because the input impedance is twice the output impedance. The resistive impedance matching converts the
50 Ω differential output to a more common 100 Ω. However, this resistive impedance matching adds 7.7 dB of attenuation that must be considered. The miscellaneous components of the ADL5580-EVALZ can add to the signal losses and degrade the SNR as well.

ACE MACRO TOOLS
ACE also contains Macro Tools that can record register reads and writes. Use the Installation Wizard or click Proceed to Memory Map to use these tools. To use the Macro Tools, select the Record Sub-Commands checkbox and click the Record button (see Figure 10). Changes in the memory map remain bolded until these changes are applied to the device. The changes are also recorded as user interface (UI) commands by the Macro Tools once the changes are made. Changed register write commands for the controls are also recorded. Click Apply Changes to execute the commands and make changes to the memory map. To stop recording, click the Stop Recording button. A Macro Tools page with the command steps is then created. The macro can be saved
using the Save Macro button so that the macro can be loaded for future use.
The raw macro file is saved using ACE syntax, which is not easily readable. To remedy this, the ACE software download includes an ACE Macro/Hex Converter tool (see Figure 11). The user can choose to include or exclude register write, reads, and/or comments in the conversion. The file pathways for the source and save paths are the same, except the source is an .acemacro file, and the save is a .txt file. The Convert button (see Figure 11) converts the macro to hex, which is easier to read, and the conversion tool can also convert .txt files back to .acemacro files, if desired.
