Product details
Overview
EV-ADUCRF101QSP3Z from Analog Devices is a QuickStart Plus evaluation kit for the ADuCRF101 precision analog microcontroller with integrated 433 MHz RF transceiver. It includes two mini boards, two 433 MHz antennas, one J-Link OB emulator board, a battery holder, and software DVD - enabling immediate two-node wireless sensor network prototyping. The board supports 2.2 V–3.6 V external supply or 5 V USB power, features SMA RF interface, edge-connectable GPIO/ADC access, and on-board 32.768 kHz crystal footprint.
For engineers reviewing the EV-ADUCRF101QSP3Z datasheet, EV-ADUCRF101QSP3Z pinout, EV-ADUCRF101QSP3Z application, or EV-ADUCRF101QSP3Z equivalent, this page delivers verified hardware configuration details, RF matching topology, dual-board system setup guidance, and direct interface specifications for UART, SWD debug, and RF performance validation at 433 MHz.
Technical Context
The EV-ADUCRF101QSP3Z implements a complete 433 MHz wireless development platform centered on the ADuCRF101BCPZ128 - a 12-bit ADC + ARM Cortex-M3 + sub-GHz transceiver SoC in 9 mm × 9 mm LFCSP. Its RF section uses a preconfigured differential-and-single-ended PA matching network optimized specifically for 433 MHz operation, including 27 nH and 100 nH inductors plus 5.6 pF and 270 pF capacitors per Table 11.
Power architecture supports dual sourcing: 5 V from J3.7 (emulator USB) regulated to 3.3 V via ADP121-AUJZ33R7, or direct 2.2–3.6 V to IOVDD (J1.3); LK1/LK2 jumpers control regulator feedback and SoC power routing. Debug uses SWDIO/SWCLK on J3.3/J3.5 with internal pull-ups - no external termination required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Form Factor | 33 mm × 55 mm, 4-layer PCB - compact size enables dense wireless sensor node deployment and breadboard integration. |
| RF Frequency Support | 433 MHz only - matching network and component BOM (Table 11) are fixed for 433 MHz differential/single-ended PA operation. |
| Power Options | 5 V USB (via J3.7 → ADP121 regulator → 3.3 V) or 2.2–3.6 V external (J1.3 IOVDD) - enables accurate current measurement by isolating emulator path. |
| Debug Interface | SWDIO/SWCLK/RESET on 8-pin J3 header - compatible with J-Link OB and any SWD-capable emulator (v6+), no external resistors needed. |
| RF Connector | SMA jack (J4) with 50 Ω matched network - allows calibrated RF testing using spectrum analyzers or vector network analyzers. |
| GPIO Access | Two unpopulated through-hole edge connectors (J1: 24 pins; J2: 19 pins) - expose all ADuCRF101 I/Os including P0.x–P4.x, ADC0–ADC5, VREF, and LVDD1 for custom interconnect. |
| Crystal Support | Footprint for 32.768 kHz watch crystal (Y2) - selectable in firmware as wake-up timer clock source for ultra-low-power sleep modes. |

FAQ
What is included in the EV-ADUCRF101QSP3Z QuickStart Plus kit?
The EV-ADUCRF101QSP3Z kit contains two ADuCRF101 mini boards, two 433 MHz antennas (SMAMFDRA433), one J-Link OB emulator board, one battery holder, and a DVD with evaluation software, user guides, datasheets, and example code - enabling immediate two-node wireless communication testing without additional hardware.
How does the EV-ADUCRF101QSP3Z differ from the EV-ADUCRF101QS3Z QuickStart kit?
The EV-ADUCRF101QSP3Z includes two mini boards and a battery holder, whereas the EV-ADUCRF101QS3Z contains only one mini board and no battery holder. Both target 433 MHz operation and include one emulator and one antenna, but EV-ADUCRF101QSP3Z supports out-of-box multi-node evaluation.
Can the EV-ADUCRF101QSP3Z be used for 868 MHz or 915 MHz evaluation?
No - the EV-ADUCRF101QSP3Z is factory-configured exclusively for 433 MHz operation. Its RF matching network (per Table 11) uses 27 nH/100 nH inductors and 5.6 pF/270 pF capacitors optimized for 433 MHz; 868/915 MHz evaluation requires EV-ADUCRF101QSP1Z with different component values.
What debug interfaces does the EV-ADUCRF101QSP3Z support?
The EV-ADUCRF101QSP3Z supports Serial Wire Debug (SWD) via J3 connector pins J3.1 (RESET), J3.3 (SWDIO), and J3.5 (SWCLK), fully compatible with J-Link OB and other SWD emulators. UART communication is available on J3.4 (TX) and J3.6 (RX) for serial console use.
How is power delivered to the ADuCRF101 SoC on the EV-ADUCRF101QSP3Z board?
Power reaches the ADuCRF101 SoC either via the ADP121-AUJZ33R7 regulator (fed by 5 V USB on J3.7) when LK1 and LK2 are installed, or directly via 2.2–3.6 V applied to IOVDD (J1.3) with LK1/LK2 removed - allowing precise current measurement of the SoC alone without emulator influence.
