2.1 Connection Diagram

www.ti.com

Figure 1. EVM Connection Diagram

2.2 Power Supply

Apply 5-V to Vcc_5V SMA connector. The on-board VCO and the optional op-amp require 5-V supply while the on-board XO and LMX2492 need 3.3-V supply. The on-board LDO regulates 5-V down to 3.3-V. Never apply more than 6-V to Vcc_5V SMA connector or otherwise the LDO will be damaged. The total current consumption of the board is about 240 mA.

2.3 Reference Clock

By default, the board is operated with the on-board 100-MHz CMOS XO. If required, the board can be modified to operate with an external clock source. In this case, apply a single-ended clock to the OSCin SMA connector or apply a differential clock to both OSCin and OSCin* SMA connectors. See Appendix B for details.

2.4 RF Output

Connect RFout/2 SMA connector to a spectrum analyzer or a signal analyzer. By default, the output signal frequency is 4.8 GHz and the amplitude is about –3 dBm. Because the frequency accuracy of the onboard XO is 25 ppm, RF output frequency may also be off by 25 ppm. The phase noise of the XO is not bad but not excellent, as a result, RF output phase noise may not look very good.

2.5 Programming

Connect the uWire header to a PC using the USB2ANY module. The firmware of the USB2ANY may not be up-to-date. In this case, follow the procedures outlined in Appendix A to get it updated.

2.6 Evaluation Software

Download and install TICS Pro to a PC. Run the software and follow the following steps to get started.

1. Go to "Select Device" → "PLL" → LMX2492
