DEMO MANUAL DC2248A LTC6951 Ultralow Jitter Multi-Output Clock Synthesizer with Integrated VCO Description Demonstration circuit 2248A features the LTC(R)6951, an Ultralow Jitter Multi-Output Clock Synthesizer with Integrated VCO. For ease of use, the DC2248A is powered from a single 6V supply and comes installed with a 100MHz reference. Direct access to the LTC6951 5V, 3.3V and the reference supplies is possible by removing jumpers. For evaluation of the LTC6951 with other references, the DC2248A can be modified to accommodate different onboard or external components. All differential inputs and outputs have 0.5" spaced SMA connectors. The DC2248A has four AC coupled CML outputs with 50 transmission lines making them suitable to drive 50 impedance instruments. The LVDS output is DC coupled. The LTC6951's synchronization functions are made available via the LTC6951 SPI interface, an SMA connector and a turret. The DC2248A can be modified to use an onboard switch and debounce circuit to control the sync pin. A DC2026 (or DC590B) USB serial controller board is used for SPI communication with the LTC6951, controlled by the supplied LTC6951WizardTM software.

The three green power supply LEDs (D2, D3, D4) should illuminate at this point. Be sure to power down or terminate any unused RF output with 50, or poor spurious performance may result. 5. Synchronize outputs by toggling the LTC6951 SSYNC bit from the LTC6951Wizard. Figure 3. LTC6951Wizard Screenshot dc2248af 3 DEMO MANUAL DC2248A Troubleshooting If the green LEDs (D2, D3, or D4) do not illuminate: 1. Verify J15 measures between 6V and 9V (see the Typical DC2248A Requirements and Characteristics table). 2. Verify JP1, JP2, JP3 jumpers are installed correctly (refer to the DC2248A schematic sheet 3). 3. Verify the voltages at JP1, JP2, and JP3 are correct: a. JP1 = 3.3V b. JP2 = 5V c. JP3 = 3.3V If the red LED (D1) does not illuminate: 1. In LTC6951Wizard's System tab click "Read All'. LTC6951Wizard should match Figure 3. If not, see "Verify DC2248A and LTC6951Wizard Communication." 2. In LTC6951Wizard's System tab, Under Status deselect LOCK and select REFOK. If D1 was does not illuminate then verify "V+XO" test point reads 3.3V. 5. If using the DC2026, Verify the DC2026 has the DC590B Emulator sketch loaded by contacting the factory or following these steps. a. Download QuikEvalTM at http://www.linear.com/designtools/software/#Data b. Run QuikEval (Linduino connected to the PC) If QuikEval does not find a DC590B, reload the DC590 Linduino sketch. To use the LTSketchbook refer to the Linduino Quick Start tab at http://www.linear.com/solutions/ linduino for instructions on how to start using Linduino. If DC2248A performance is less than the LTC6951 data sheet specifications or LTC6951Wizard Simulation: 1. For unexpected spurious response, verify power supplies are low noise and spurious free power supplies. Power supplies that are based off a switching regulator architecture are known to generate spurs on PLL/VCO outputs. 1. Ensure the DC2026 (or DC590B) is connected to PC. 2. For poor phase noise results, verify the phase noise specifications of the phase noise measurement instrument. Traditional spectrum analyzers have higher phase noise than the LTC6951 and will degrade measurement results. To measure phase noise performance it is recommended to use a signal source analyzer, such as Keysight's (previously Agilent/HP) E5052. 2. Disconnect and Reconnect DC2026 (or DC590B) to PC. Contact the factory for further troubleshooting. Verify DC2248A and LTC6951Wizard Communication: To verify communication with the DC2248A, the bottom status line in LTC6951Wizard should read "LTC6951" and "Comm Enabled" as shown in Figure 3. If not, then perform the following steps: 3. Ensure DC2026 (or DC590B) is connected to DC2248A. 4. Close LTC6951Wizard and restart. 4 dc2248af DEMO MANUAL DC2248A dc2248A Reconfiguration The following covers the hardware reconfiguration of the DC2248A.

In the LTC6951Wizard, select Help: Menu Help. The help file discusses the function of all LTC6951Wizard menus and tabs. The help file also provides a step by step example describing how to design a different frequency plan, design and simulate a loop filter, and how to program the LTC6951 with these new settings. 2. Can the LTC6951Wizard control an LTC6951 on a board other than the DC2248A? Yes, connect the DC2026 (or DC590) SPI lines to the SPI interface of the LTC6951. Also, the LTC6951Wizard allows communication to the DC2248A by sensing resistors R34 and R35 in the DC2248A schematic. If these resistors are not present, the LTC6951Wizard will not communicate with the LTC6951. To allow LTC6951Wizard communication to other hardware, install equivalent resistors in the appropriate location on the backside of DC2026 J1 connector (or DC590B J4 connector). 3. Does the LTC6951 have Linduino Code available? Yes, download the LTC6951 sketch in the LTSketchbook. To use the LTSketchbook and for instructions on how to start using Linduino, refer to the Linduino QuickStart tab at http://www.linear.com/solutions/linduino. This will give programmers a head start in writing code for the LTC6951. It is recommended to use LTC6951Wizard to create the best possible register settings for all conditions. These LTC6951 register settings from LTC6951Wizard can be programmed in a lookup table. At this point the lookup table and LTC6951 sketch can aid in program development. dc2248af 7 DEMO MANUAL DC2248A Typical DC2248A Requirements and Characteristics PARAMETER 6V to 9V Power Supply INPUT OR OUTPUT PHYSICAL LOCATION DETAILS Input J15 and J16 BNC banana jacks Default option, single supply: 6V-9V low-noise and spur-free supply, 500mA*; Green LEDs D2, D3, and D4 illuminate when power supplied.
