Texas Instruments LMX2594EVM RF Synthesizer Evaluation Module

Texas Instruments LMX2594EVM RF Synthesizer Evaluation Module (EVM) is designed to evaluate the LMX2594. The LMX2594 is the first PLL with integrated VCO in the industry to get fundamental VCO output up to 15GHz. This device supports the JESD204B standard, which makes it ideal for clocking high-speed data converters. The integrated jitter from the evaluation module measurements is less than 50fs at 9GHz carrier frequency. The user can synchronize the output phase across multiple LMX2594 devices by providing a SYNC signal.

The Texas Instruments LMX2594 can also generate a frequency ramp which can be demonstrated in this evaluation module. With an onboard oscillator, the 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 Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Features

  • 10MHz to 15GHz output frequency 
  • –110dBc/Hz phase noise at 100kHz offset with 15GHz carrier
  • Two differential outputs with programmable output power up to 7dBm at 15GHz
  • 45fs RMS jitter at 7.5GHz (100Hz to 100MHz)
  • A complete circuit for the synthesizer that is optimized and tested for performance and includes a USB programming module
