LMX2595 EVM Instructions – 19-GHz Wideband Low Noise

PLL With Integrated VCO

This Evaluation Module is for the LMX2595, which is the first PLL with integrated VCO in industry to get

fundamental VCO output up to 15 GHz. The industry leading PLL FOM is -236 dBc/Hz with 1/f of -129

dBc/Hz. This device supports JESD204B standard (it can generate or repeat the SYSREF signal) which

makes it ideal to clock high speed data converters. The integrated jitter from the EVM measurements is

less than 50 fs at 9 GHz carrier frequency. By providing a SYNC signal, the user can synchronize the

output phase across multiple LMX2595 devices. LMX2595 can also generate a frequency ramp which can

be demonstrated in this evaluation module. With an on-board oscillator, setup process only requires a

3.3V power supply and an included Reference Pro module (For SPI Programming interface). The software

is simple, with an intuitive and user friendly GUI.

1. Power:

(a) Set power supply to 3.3 V with 600-mA current limit and connect to VCC SMA.

2. Input Signal:

(a) VC-708 100-MHz on-board oscillator enabled (default). To use another reference, see Appendix D.

3. Programming Interface:

• Reference Pro will provide SPI interface to program LMX2595:

(a) Connect USB cable from laptop or PC to USB port in Reference Pro. This provides power to

Reference Pro Board and communication with TICS GUI

(b) Connect 10 pin ribbon cable from Reference Pro to LMX2595EVM as shown above.

4. Output:

(a) Connect RFoutAM or RFoutAP to a phase noise Analyzer. Connect a 50-Ωon the unused output if

you are using only single-ended. Use a balun if you are using differential.
