All 3 SPI interface pins (clock, data, and select) and the Vcc pin shall be wired out directly, and only, to the subassembly connector. The GND pin shall be wired out directly, and only, to the subassembly connector. This allows temperature to be read at all times regardless of power down state or other subassembly power inputs. Vcc shall be bypassed to GND with a 0.1uF capacitor. Part number MAX6630MUT is suggested (http://www.maxim-ic.com/datasheet/index.mvp/id/2577/t/al). This part is also available on tape & reel. If this part is used, it is suggested to connect pin 2 (NC) to ground through a provisional resistor (initially unpopulated) for compatibility with similar parts from other manufacturers. The temperature sensor interface signals will be static during RF measurements. Power monitor for 100 MHz reference output J9. Output shall be logic “1” for output power > -5 dBm and logic “0” for output power < -10 dBm. Power monitor for 100 MHz reference output J10. Output shall be logic “1” for output power > +10 dBm and logic “0” for output power < +5 dBm. Phase lock indicator for the synthesizer. Output shall be logic “1” when the synthesizer has achieved phase lock, and logic “0” otherwise. Power monitor for the synthesizer. Output shall be logic “1” for J1, J2, J3, and J4 output power > +8 dBm and logic “0” for output power < +3 dBm. BIT_Ref_J9_Power BIT_Ref_J10_Power BIT_FREQ_Lock BIT_RF_Power Spare Pins which are unused but reserved. To maintain compatibility with future designs, these pins shall be left unconnected. LVTTL Control Levels: Control inputs shall use 3.3V LVTTL logic levels. Each input shall source or sink 0.5mA maximum. LVTTL low, or logic ‘0’, shall be 0.8 volts maximum. LVTTL high, or logic ‘1’, shall be 2.0 volts minimum. Steady-state input voltage shall be 0.0 volts minimum and 3.5 volts maximum. LVTTL Output Levels: Outputs shall use 3.3V LVTTL logic levels. LVTTL low, or logic ‘0’, outputs shall be 0.5 volts maximum when sinking up to 2 mA. LVTTL high, or logic ‘1’, outputs shall be 2.4 volts minimum when sourcing up to 2 mA. Steady-state output voltage shall be 0.0 volts minimum and 3.5 volts maximum. Rev Date: 12/1/2015 © API Technologies Corp.
