Description

LTC6948

Ultralow Noise and Spurious Fractional-N

Synthesizer with Integrated VCO

Demonstration circuit 1959A features the LTC6948, an

Ultralow Noise and Spurious Fractional-N Synthesizer

with Integrated VCO.

There are four options of the DC1959A, one for each ver-

sion of the LTC6948. Table 1 summarizes the available

DC1959A options.

The DC1959A provides 50Ω SMA connectors for the ref-

erence frequency input fREF (REF+IN) and the differential

RF output (RF+ and RF–).

L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and

FracNWizard is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation. All other trademarks are the

property of their respective owners.

A DC590 USB serial controller board is used for SPI com-

munication with the LTC6948, controlled by the supplied

FracNWizard™ software.

Design files for this circuit board are available at

http://www.linear.com/demo/DC1959A

DEMO MANUAL DC1959A

Quick start proceDure

The DC1959A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance

of the LTC6948. Follow the procedure below.

The DC590 and FracNWizard application are required to

control the DC1959A through a personal computer (PC).

DC590 Configuration

Place the DC590 jumpers in the following positions (refer

to Figure 2):

JP4: EE – Must be in the EN position.

JP5: ISO – ON must be selected.

JP5: SW – ON must be selected.

JP6: VCCIO – 3.3V must be selected. This sets the SPI

port to 3.3V operation.

Connect the DC590 to one of your computer’s USB ports

with the included USB cable.

FracNWizard Installation

The FracNWizard software is used to communicate with

the LTC6948 synthesizer. It uses the DC590 to translate

between USB and SPI-compatible serial communica-

tions formats. It also includes advanced PLL design and

simulation capabilities. The following are the FracNWizard

system requirements:

nWindows Operating System: Windows XP, Windows

2003 Server, Windows Vista, Windows 7

nMicrosoft .NET 3.5 SP1 or later

nWindows Installer 3.1 or later

nLinear Technology’s DC590 hardware

DEMO MANUAL DC1959A

Download the FracNWizard setup file at www.linear.com/

FracNWizard.

Run the FracNWizard setup file and follow the instructions

given on the screen. The setup file will verify and/or install

Microsoft .NET and install the FracNWizard. Refer to the

Help menu for software operation.

DC1959A Configuration

1. Connecta100MHzreferencefrequencysourcetoREF+IN

(at J1) and signal analyzers to RF+ and/or RF– (at J5

and/or J4) using the SMA connectors (see Figure 1 and

the Typical DC1959A Requirements and Characteristics

table).

Be sure to terminate any unused RF output with 50Ω,

or poor spurious performance may result.

2. Choose the MUTE jumper setting:

JP1: GND/3.3V – MUTE position. Select GND to mute

the RF output, 3.3V to un-mute.

3. Connect the GND, 3.3V, and 5V banana jacks to a power

supply and apply power (see Figure 1 and the Typical

DC1959A Requirements and Characteristics table).

4. Connect the DC590 to the DC1959A with the provided

ribbon cable.

5. Run the FracNWizard application.

6. In FracNWizard, click File -> Load Settings and point to

the LTC6948-1_100MHz.fracnset file in case of evaluat-

ing the LTC6948-1, for instance, or load the appropriate

file depending on which option of the LTC6948 you are

evaluating.

The red LED on the DC1959A should turn on indicating

that the loop is locked and the output is at 907MHz.

Troubleshooting

If the red LED does not illuminate, follow the instructions

below:

1. Verify that you are able to communicate with the

DC1959A.Thebottom status line inFracNWizardshould

read LTC6948 and Comm Enabled as shown in Figure 3.

Refer to FracNWizard’s Troubleshoot and Help if not.

2. Verify that the 3.3V and 5V have the correct voltages

on them and that the reference frequency is applied to

the REF+IN SMA input.

If the red LED is on but you cannot detect an RF output,

make sure jumper JP1 is at the 3.3V position. Run Help ->

Troubleshoot inFracNWizard if theproblem is not resolved.

DC1959A Reconfiguration

You can redesign the frequency plan of the DC1959A using

FracNWizard. You can change the loop filter as found us-

ing FracNWizard by reinstalling the loop filter components

shown in Figure 1.

Table 1

Loop Bandwidth – Set by Loop Filter Component Values Approximately 160kHz* Depending on the DC1959A Version

*These frequencies are for the DC1959A fracnset files included with FracNWizard.

**Any unused RF output must be terminated with 50Ω, or poor spurious performance may result.

Note: A low noise 100MHz reference frequency, such as the Wenzel 501-04516D OCXO, is recommended. If using a different frequency, make sure to

update the Fref and R_DIV boxes under the System tab in FracNWizard so that Fpfd is still 50MHz. For example, if a 250MHz clock is used, Fref should be

changed to 250MHz and R_DIV to 5. Ref BST and FILT under the System tab in FracNWizard might need to be changed if the reference frequency and/or

power is different than what is recommended in the table above. More information can be found in the LTC6948 data sheet.

Note: The buffers shown on sheet 2 of 2 of the schematic are used to protect the LTC6948 when connected to the DC590 before the LTC6948 is powered up. There is no

need for such circuitry if the SPI bus is not active before powering up the LTC6948. The EEPROM is for identification and is not needed to program the LTC6948.
