Особенности и преимущества

Demonstration circuit 2609A features the LTC6952, an Ultralow Jitter, 4.5GHz PLL with 11 Outputs and JESD204B Support.

By default, the DC2609A is powered from two supplies. The 9V-12V supply input powers the onboard reference and VCO circuitry, along with the LTC6952 5V supply pin. The 4V-6V supply input powers the LTC6952 3.3V supply pins. A reduced power option is provided that allows the LTC6952’s output supply pins to connect to an LTC Silent Switcher^® and the LTC6952 input supply pins to connect to a low noise LDO.

All differential inputs and six of the differential outputs are populated with 0.5” spaced SMA connectors. These outputs are AC-coupled with 50Ω transmission lines making them suitable to drive 50Ω impedance instruments. The remaining five differential outputs are terminated with 100Ω.

The LTC6952’s EZSync^™ and SYSREF request functions are made available via the LTC6952 SPI interface or the EZS_SRQ SMA/turret connectors. The DC2609A, DC2610A, and DC2611A SMA placement was designed for ease of connection for all multi-part synchronization and SYSREF request modes.

The V_TUNE and VCO SMAs can mate directly with the DC2664A VCO rider board. This options allows for a quick method to evaluate multiple VCOs.

A DC2026 USB serial controller board is used for SPI communication with the LTC6952, controlled by the supplied LTC6952Wizard^™ software.
