Description

LTC6946

Ultralow Noise and Spurious Integer-N

Frequency Synthesizer with Integrated VCO

DC1705C features the LTC

6946, an ultralow noise and

spurious integer-N frequency synthesizer with integrated

VCO. The VCO uses no external components and is inter-

nally calibrated without external system support.

There are three versions of the DC1705C, one for each

version of the LTC6946. The DC1705C-A contains the

LTC6946-1, the DC1705C-B incorporates the LTC6946-2

and DC1705C-C uses the LTC6946-3.

Each DC1705C provides 50Ω SMA connectors for the

reference frequency input, fREF (REF+ IN), the reference

output buffer (REF OUT), and the differential RF output

(RF+and RF–). A DC590 USB serial controller board is

used for SPI communication with the LTC6946, controlled

by the supplied PLLWizard™ software.

Design files for this circuit board are available at

PARAMETER INPUT OR OUTPUT PHYSICAL LOCATION DETAILS

3.3V Power Supply Input 3.3V and GND Banana Jacks Low Noise and Spur-Free 3.3V, 115mA

5V Power Supply Input 5V and GND Banana Jacks Low Noise and Spur-Free 5V, 45mA

REF+IN, Reference Frequency Input J1 SMA Connector Low Noise 10MHz or 100MHz*, 6dBm into 50Ω

(Note 1)

REF OUT, Buffered Reference Output J3 SMA Connector Frequency = fREF, 0dBm

RF+and RF–Two Outputs J4 and J5 SMA Connectors Frequency: 900MHz*, Power: 0dBm, Frequency

Range: Depends on the version of the LTC6946

device – refer to Table 1, Step Size: 200kHz*

Loop Bandwidth – Set by Loop Filter Component Values 47kHz*

* These frequencies are for the DC1705C pllset files included with PLLWizard.

Note 1: A low noise 10MHz or 100MHz reference frequency, such as the Wenzel 501-04608A or 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 PLLWizard so that fPFD is still 1MHz. For example, if a 20MHz clock is

used, fREF should be changed to 20MHz and R_DIV to 20. REF BST and FILT under the System tab in PLLWizard 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 LTC6946 data sheet.

typical Dc1705c requirements anD characteristics

quick start proceDure

The DC590 and PLLWizard application are required to

control the DC1705C through a personal computer (PC).

DC590 Configuration

The DC590’s QuikEval™ drivers must be installed before

the DC590 will be able to communicate with the LTC6946.

To configure the DC590, follow the procedure below, start-

ing with step 1. If you have already installed the DC590

software previously, skip to step 5.

Note: Once the QuikEval software is installed, the applica-

tion does not need to be executed to run PLLWizard or to

control the DC1705C.

1. Do Not plug in the DC590 before running the installation

program.

2. Download the QuikEval installation program from

http://www.linear.com/software.

3. Run the QuikEval installation program and follow the

on-screen instructions. More detailed installation infor-

mation may be found in the DC590’s Quick Start guide.

4. Exit the QuikEval program once the installation is com-

plete, as it is not needed to run the PLLWizard software.

5. Place the DC590 jumpers in the following positions:

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.

6. Connect the DC590 to one of your computer’s USB

ports with the included USB cable.

PLLWizard Installation

The PLLWizard software is used to communicate with

the LTC6946 synthesizer. It uses the DC590 to translate

between USB and SPI-compatible serial communications

formats. It also includes advanced PLL design and simula-

tion capabilities. The following are the PLLWizard system

requirements:

• WindowsOperatingSystem:WindowsXP,

Windows 2003 Server, Windows Vista, Windows 7

• Microsoft.NET2.0orlater

• WindowsInstaller3.1orlater

• LinearTechnology’sQuikEvalandDC590hardware

Microsoft .NET

You must have Microsoft .NET 2.0 or later installed on

your computer. PLLWizard will not run without it. Note that

with Windows Vista and Windows 7, you should have at

least version 3.5 pre-installed.

To manually determine your version of .NET using Win-

dows XP, click Start Menu →Settings →Control Panel

→Add or Remove Programs.

Depending upon your .NET version, choose one of

two PLLWizard setup programs, downloaded from

http://www.linear.com/software.

dc1705cfa

DEMO MANUAL DC1705C

quick start proceDure

Figure 3. PLLWizard Screenshot

Either setup program will automatically install Microsoft

.NET if a compatible .NET version is not found. But, the

installation source depends upon which file you down-

loaded from Linear Technology’s website. You should pick

one of the following two choices, depending upon your

version of .NET.

Table 2. PLLWizard Installation File

FILE .NET 2.0 SOURCE

PLLWizardSetup.exe Latest Version Downloaded from Microsoft

PLLWizardSetup_net20.exe 2.0 SP2 Included (Much Larger File Size)

• ChoosePLLWizardSetup if you have .NET 2.0 or later,

have Windows Vista or Windows 7, or if you have less

than .NET 2.0 but want the latest .NET installed.

• ChoosePLLWizardSetup_net20 if you have less than

.NET 2.0, and want faster installation (no additional

Microsoft downloads are needed, but the file size is

much larger).

The setup file will verify and/or install Microsoft .NET and

install PLLWizard. Refer to the Help menu for software

operation.

DEMO MANUAL DC1705C

quick start proceDure

DC1705C Configuration

1. Connect an appropriate reference frequency source (at

J1) and signal analyzers (at J4 and/or J5) using the

SMA connectors (see Figure 1 and the Typical DC1705C

Requirements and Characteristics table).

2. Choose theMUTE jumpersetting:JP1 - GND/3.3VMUTE

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

DC1705C Requirements and Characteristics table).

4. Connect the DC590 to the DC1705C with the provided

ribbon cable.

5. Run the PLLWizard application.

6. In PLLWizard, click File →Load Settings and point

to the appropriate pllset file. For example, if you are

using a 10MHz reference with a DC1705C-B to evalu-

ate the LTC6946-2, load the “DC1705-B (LTC6946-2)

10MHz.pllset” file found in the PLLWizard installation

directory (typically Program Files →LTC →PLLWizard

→ Set Files).

The red LED on DC1705C should turn on indicating that

the loop is locked at 900MHz.

You can then change the values of N_DIV and/or O_DIV

in PLLWizard to change the output frequency.

Troubleshooting

If the red LED does not illuminate, follow the instructions

below:

1. Verify that you are able to communicate with the

DC1705C. The bottom status line in PLLWizard should

read “LTC6946” and “Comm Enabled.” Refer to PLL-

Wizard’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 in PLLWizard if the problem is not resolved.

DC1705C Reconfiguration

You can redesign the frequency plan of the DC1705C us-

ing PLLWizard. You can change the loop filter as found

using PLLWizard by reinstalling the loop filter components

shown in Figure 4.
