ADL5801: common questions
Where can I find a ADL5801 reference design?
Each of the 6 boards on this page is a real design using the ADL5801. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
What parts are used alongside the ADL5801?
The 5400BL15B050E, ADC_Connector, ADF4158, AP3211 and Check_Point appear in the most repositories here.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the ADL5801 use?
Most are built on STM32 (4).
How big is a typical board using the ADL5801?
The median is 70.1 × 40 mm, and 0% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the ADL5801?
By GitHub stars, LibreVNA by jankae, with 1,636 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the ADL5801 before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
