Questions
How big is the PLL ADF4159 PCB?
It measures 48.5 × 38.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PLL ADF4159 use?
80 parts, built around the ADF4159CCPZ, TLV9061IDBVR-MS, ADP150AUJZ-1.8-R7 and ADP150AUJZ-3.0-R7. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the PLL ADF4159 KiCad files?
From the Kevpamm/PCB-PLL-ADF4159 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PLL-ADF4159.kicad_pcb and its schematic PLL-ADF4159.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PLL ADF4159 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Kevpamm before reusing the design.
