Description

LTC6954

Low Phase Noise, Triple Output Clock

Distribution Divider/Driver

Demonstration Circuit 1954A features the LT C

6954, a

Low Phase Noise, Triple Output Clock Distribution Divider/

Driver.

There are four options of the DC1954A, one for each ver-

sion of the LTC6954. Table 1 summarizes the available

DC1954A options.

The DC1954A LVPECL outputs are AC-coupled 50Ω

transmission lines making them suitable for driving 50Ω

impedance instruments. The LVDS/CMOS outputs of the

DC1954A are terminated with a 100Ω differential resistor

and are DC-coupled. All differential input and outputs have

respective owners.

0.5" spaced SMA connectors. The LTC6954’s EZSync™

function is made available via a turret and an SMA con-

nector.

ADC590 USB serial controller board is used for SPI

communication with the LTC6954, controlled by the

supplied LTC6954_GUI software.

DEMO MANUAL DC1954A

Quick start proceDure

The DC1954A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance

of the LTC6954. Follow the procedure below.

The DC590 and LTC6954_GUI application are required to

control the DC1954A 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 or 5V must be selected. This sets the

SPI port to 3.3V or 5V operation, 3.3V

operation is recommended.

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

with the included USB cable.

LTC6954_GUI Installation

The LTC6954_GUI software is used to communicate with

the LTC6954. It uses the DC590 to translate between USB

and SPI-compatible serial communications formats. The

following are the LTC6954_GUI system requirements:

• Windows Operating System: Windows XP, Windows

2003 Server, Windows Vista, Windows 7

• Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP1 or later

• Windows Installer 3.1 or later

• Linear Technology’s DC590 hardware

DEMO MANUAL DC1954A

Quick start proceDure

Download the LTC6954_GUI setup file at:

www.linear.com/LTC6954_GUI.

RuntheLTC6954_GUIsetupfileandfollowtheinstructions

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

Microsoft .NET and install the LTC6954_GUI.

DC1954A Configuration

1. Connect the GND and V+ 3.15V-3.45V, turrets to a

power supply and apply power (see Figure 1 and the

Typical DC1954A Requirements and Characteristics

table).

2. Connect the DC590 to the DC1954A with the provided

ribbon cable.

3. Run the LTC6954_GUI application.

4. From the LTC6954_GUI, click File -> Load Settings

and point to the LTC6954.6954set ﬁle.

5. From the LTC6954_GUI, select the Read All button.

This will update the GUI to display the correct part

number and associated output types.

6. Connect a low phase-noise (or jitter) single-ended or

differential signal to IN+ (J8) and/or IN- (J9). Refer to

the LTC6954 data sheet for acceptable input frequen-

cies and amplitudes.

7. From the LTC6954_GUI, update Fin to the frequency

of the input signal in step 6. This will update the

LTC6954_GUI with the correct output frequencies.

8. Refer to the Typical DC1954A Requirements and

Characteristics table for desired OUTxSEL level. Set

JP1, JP2 and JP3 accordingly.

9. Connect desired output (OUT0, OUT1, OUT2) to a test

instrument or other demo board to evaluate perfor-

mance. [The LVDS/CMOS outputs are DC-coupled,

please make sure the levels do not exceed the test

equipment input levels].

10. To synchronize outputs provide a 1ms or greater

high pulse to the SYNC SMA to take advantage of the

EZSync function.

Be sure to power down or terminate any unused RF output

with 50Ω, or poor spurious performance may result.

Troubleshooting

If the board is not functioning as expected, follow the

instructions below:

1. Verify that you are able to communicate with the

DC1954A. The bottom status line in LTC6954_GUI

should read LTC6954 and Comm Enabled.

2. Verify that V+ 3.15V-3.45V turret has the correct

voltage. (see the Typical DC1954A Requirements and

Characteristics table).

3. Ensure JP1, JP2, and JP3 are set to desired position.

4. Iftheoutputtypeis LVPECLandthe outputisAC-coupled,

OUTxSEL must be high for proper signal swing.

The DC1954A allows for a variety of input and output

configurations. The following covers the hardware recon-

figuration of the DC1954A.

LVPECL Output Options

The

DC1954A LVPECL outputs are AC-coupled and require

internal biasing (OUTxSEL=H) with the default termination

network. The DC1954A provides pull-down, series and a

differential termination resistor options to accommodate

the other LVPECL termination networks described in the

data sheet.

LVDS/CMOS Output Options

The LVDS/CMOS outputs are DC-coupled and have an on

boarddifferential100Ω resistor termination by default. The

DC1954A provides pull-down, series and a differential ter-

mination resistor options to accommodate the other LVDS/

CMOS termination networks described in the data sheet.

Table 1. DC1954A Assembly Options

ASSEMBLY VERSION U1 PART NUMBER OUT0+/– OUT1+/– OUT2+/–

DC1954A-A LTC6954IUFF-1 LVPECL LVPECL LVPECL

DC1954A-B LTC6954IUFF-2 LVPECL LVPECL LVDS/CMOS

DC1954A-C LTC6954IUFF-3 LVPECL LVDS/CMOS LVDS/CMOS

5. Iftheoutput typeisLVDS,theoutputsmustbe AC-coupled

intosingle-ended,50Ωinputtestequipment.Additionally,

the unconnected output must be AC-coupled into a 50Ω

load to ground to provide a balanced output load. If the

LVCSx bit is low, the signal amplitude at the instrument

will be approximately half of the data sheet value due to

the existing 100Ω termination on the demo board.

6. If the output is CMOS, a 200Ω series resistor must be

included to limit the output current when connecting

to the 50Ω input on test equipment. The signal swing

at the instrument is then approximately 20 percent of

the data sheet value.

Contact the factory for further troubleshooting.

Input Options

The inputs have a 50Ω termination resistor to GND and are

AC-coupled by default. The DC1954A provides pull-down,

pull-up and a differential termination resistor options to

accommodate the other input termination networks de-

scribed in the data sheet.

Clock Follower Input Network

When using the DC1954A as a clock follower, EZSync

requires the LTC6954 inputs to be taken to a low state

while the SYNC pin is high. To meet this requirement, the

DC1954A must be modified to support DC-coupling. Refer

to the EZSync Function section and to the data sheet for

more details on using the LTC6954 as a clock follower.

EZSync Function

Apply a 1ms or greater high pulse to the SYNC SMA con-

nector to take advantage of the EZSync function. Refer

to the LTC6954 data sheet for SYNC timing and level

requirements.

However, no responsibility is assumed for its use. Linear Technology Corporation makes no representa-

tion that the interconnection of its circuits as described herein will not infringe on existing patent rights.

Note: The buffers shown on sheet 2 of 2 of the schematic are used to protect the LTC6954 when connected to the DC590 before the

LTC6954 is powered up. There is no need for such circuitry if the SPI bus is not active before powering up the LTC6954. The EEPROM

is for identification and is not needed to program the LTC6954.
