ADC32RF45/RF80 EVM Quick Startup Guide

This user's guide is a quick-start guide for the ADC32RF45/RF80 EVM. The ADC32RFxx quick-start
procedure using ADC32RF45 bypass LMFS82820, and the ADC32RF80 quick-start procedure (digital
DDC block - decimation plus NCO) external clocking are detailed. A section covering ADC32RF4x/RF80
internally generated clocking is also included.
