DEMO MANUAL DC1846A
LTC6947
Ultralow Noise and Spurious
Fractional-N Synthesizer
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1846A features the LTC®6947, an
Ultralow Noise and Spurious Fractional-N Synthesizer.
DC1846A provides 50Ω SMA connectors for the reference
frequency (REF+) and the two single-ended RF outputs
(RF+ and RF–).
A DC590 USB serial controller board is used for SPI communication with the LTC6947, controlled by the supplied
FracNWizard™ software.
Design files for this circuit board are available at
http://www.linear.com/demo

DEMO MANUAL DC1846A
QUICK START PROCEDURE
The DC1846A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance
of the LTC6947. Follow the procedure below.
Connect the DC590 to one of your computer’s USB ports
with the included USB cable.
The DC590 and FracNWizard application are required to
control the DC1846A through a personal computer (PC).
FracNWizard Installation
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.
The FracNWizard software is used to communicate with
the LTC6947 synthesizer. It uses the DC590 to translate
between USB and SPI-compatible serial communications formats. It also includes advanced PLL design and
simulation capabilities. The following are the FracNWizard
system requirements:
• Windows Operating System: Windows XP, Windows
2003 Server, Windows Vista, Windows 7
JP5: SW – ON must be selected.
JP6: VCCIO – 3.3V must be selected. This sets the SPI
port to 3.3V operation.
• Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP1 or later
• Windows Installer 3.1 or later
• Linear Technology’s DC590 hardware

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Download the FracNWizard setup file at:
2.Choose the MUTE jumper setting:
www.linear.com/FracNWizard
JP1: GND/3.3V - MUTE position. Select GND to mute
the RF output, 3.3V to unmute.
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.
DC1846A Configuration
1.Connect a 100MHz reference frequency source (at J2)
and signal analyzers to RF+ and/or RF– (at J6 and/or
J7) using the SMA connectors (see Figure 1 and the
Typical DC1846A Requirements and Characteristics
table).
Be sure to terminate any unused RF output with 50Ω, or
poor spurious performance may result.
3.Connect the GND, 3.3V, 5V banana jacks and the
V+VCO turret to a power supply and apply power (see
Figure 1 and the Typical DC1846A Requirements and
Characteristics table).
4.Connect the DC590 to the DC1846A with the provided
ribbon cable.
5.Run the FracNWizard application.
6.In FracNWizard, click File -> Load Settings and point
to the “LTC6947_100MHz.fracnset” file.
The red LED on the DC1846A should turn on indicating
that the loop is locked at 2415MHz.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Troubleshooting
If the red LED does not illuminate, follow the instructions
below:
2.Verify that the 3.3V, 5V and V+VCO have the correct
voltages on them and that the reference frequency is
applied to the REF+ SMA input.
1.Verify that you are able to communicate with the
DC1846A. The bottom status line in FracNWizard
should read “LTC6947” and “Comm Enabled”. Refer
to FracNWizard’s Troubleshoot and Help if not.
If the red LED is on but you cannot detect an RF output,
make sure the DC1846A jumper JP1 is at the 3.3V position.
Run Help -> Troubleshoot in FracNWizard if the problem
is not resolved.
DC1846A RECONFIGURATION
The DC1846A is flexible and allows the use of a variety of
VCOs and the choice to employ either an active or passive loop filter. The following covers the hardware reconfiguration of the DC1846A. Refer to FracNWizard’s Help
and the LTC6947 data sheet to better understand how to
change programmed parameters on the DC1846A.
Installing Different Tunable Devices
The DC1846A permits the use of different tunable oscillators, such as VCOs and VCXOs. There are two different
oscillator footprints on the board: U3, which accommodates
the popular 0.5 × 0.5 in. package, and U4, which accommodates another common 14mm × 9 mm package with
four or six pins. An external connectorized VCO can also
drive the LTC6947 through J5. Table 1 gives options to
customize the DC1846’s VCOs. When using an active loop
filter, an additional pole is required in the loop filter to limit
the op amp’s noise contribution to the VCO phase noise.
Selecting Loop Filter Type
The DC1846A can use either an active or a passive loop
filter, depending upon the application. Some VCO tuning
voltage ranges are greater than the LTC6947 charge pump
voltage range (refer to the LTC6947 data sheet). In such
cases, an active loop filter using an op amp can deliver
the required tuning voltage. Table 2 summarizes these
options. FracNWizard helps determine the component
values listed in this table.

***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 LTC6947 data sheet.

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
Note: The buffers shown on sheet 2 of 2 of the schematic are used to protect the LTC6947 when connected to the DC590 before the LTC6947 is powered
up. There is no need for such circuitry if the SPI bus is not powered before powering up the LTC6947. The EEPROM is for identification and is not needed
to program the LTC6947.
