Using the LMX2485E & LMX2487E Evaluation Board

The Texas Instruments LMX2485E-EVM/LMX2487E-EVM helps designers evaluate the operation and

performance of any of the devices in the LMX248x family. Although only two options are offered, the other

members in the family are all pinout compatible and program compatible to one of these existing board

option. They would be expected to have similar performance, just different in the maximum frequency of

operation.

Although the devices are very broadband, the VCO is ultimately what limits the frequency range of the

evaluation board. These VCOs were chosen primarily availability, standard footprint, and for lower risk of

being obsoleted.

WARNING! Due to availability issues, the LMX2485E-EVM has two different suppliers for VCO. Be

sure to check the VCO model number to know what VCO model you have!

Using the LMX2485E & LMX2487E Evaluation Board

VccVCO

Connect this to a 5 V Power supply.

OSCin

Connect this to a signal generator at +4 dBm. Default frequency is 50 MHz for the LMX2485E-EVM and

100 MHz for the LMX2487E-EVM.

RFout

Connect this to a spectrum analyzer. The board has DC blocking capacitors, so the signal is AC coupled.

uWire

Hook this to the programming interface.

1.1 Quick Start for EVM Communications

Codeloader is the software used to communicate with the EVM (Please download the latest version from

TI.com - http://www.ti.com/tool/codeloader). This EVM can be controlled through the uWire interface on

board. There are two options in communicating with the uWire interface from the computer.

Option 1

Figure 2. LPT Interface

Open Codeloader.exe →Click “Select Device” →Click “Port Setup” tab →Click “LPT” (in Communication

Mode).

Go to http://www.ti.com/tool/codeloader

Click on the download button to download the software.

Run the executable file.

Figure 5. Using the EVM Software

On the Port Setup tab, the user may select the type of communication port (USB or Parallel) that will be

used to program the device on the evaluation board. If parallel port is selected, the user should ensure

that the correct port address is entered.

Don’t forget to press <Ctrl>+L or do Keyboard Controls -> Load Device, to load the settings.
