DEMO MANUAL DC1705C LTC6946 Ultralow Noise and Spurious Integer-N Frequency Synthesizer with Integrated VCO DESCRIPTION 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 internally calibrated without external system support. 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. There are four options of the DC1705C, one for each version of the LTC6946. Table 1 summarizes the available DC1705C options. Design files for this circuit board are available at http://www.linear.com/demo/DC1705C Each DC1705C provides 50Ω SMA connectors for the reference frequency input, fREF (REF+ IN), the reference L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and PLLWizard and QuikEval are trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Figure 1.

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. Table 1.

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, starting with step 1. If you have already installed the DC590 software previously, skip to step 5. Note: Once the QuikEval software is installed, the application 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 information may be found in the DC590’s Quick Start guide. 4. Exit the QuikEval program once the installation is complete, 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. dc1705cfb 3 DEMO MANUAL DC1705C QUICK START PROCEDURE Figure 2. DC590 Jumper Locations PLLWizard Installation Microsoft .NET 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 simulation capabilities. The following are the PLLWizard system requirements: 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. • Windows Operating System: Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server, Windows Vista, Windows 7 • Microsoft .NET 2.0 or later • Windows Installer 3.1 or later To manually determine your version of .NET using Windows 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. • Linear Technology’s QuikEval and DC590 hardware dc1705cfb 4 DEMO MANUAL DC1705C QUICK START PROCEDURE 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 downloaded 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. Figure 3. PLLWizard Screenshot dc1705cfb 5 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 the MUTE jumper setting: JP1 - GND/3.3V MUTE 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 evaluate 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). 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 PLLWizard’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 using PLLWizard. You can change the loop filter as found using PLLWizard by reinstalling the loop filter components shown in Figure 4. The red LED on DC1705C should turn on indicating that the loop is locked at 900MHz. dc1705cfb 6 DEMO MANUAL DC1705C Figure 4.
