DC1795A - Demo Manual

DEMO MANUAL DC1795A
LTC6950
1.4GHz Low Phase Noise, Low Jitter PLL
with Clock Distribution
Description
Demonstration circuit 1795A features the LTC®6950, a
1.4GHz low phase noise, low jitter PLL with clock distribution.
For ease of use, the DC1795A comes installed with a
100MHz reference and a 1GHz VCSO, voltage controlled
SAW oscillator with sine wave output. All differential
inputs and outputs have 0.5" spaced SMA connectors.
The DC1795A has four AC coupled LVPECL outputs with
50Ω transmission lines making them suitable to drive
50Ω impedance instruments. The LVDS/CMOS output is
DC coupled. The LTC6950’s EZSync™ function is made
available via a turret and an SMA connector.

For the evaluation of the LTC6950 with other VCOs and
references, the DC1795A can be modified to accommodate
different on-board or external components. It also allows
the user the option of a passive or active loop filter.
A DC590 USB serial controller board is used for SPI communication with the LTC6950, controlled by the supplied
ClockWizard™ software.

DEMO MANUAL DC1795A
Quick Start Procedure
The DC1795A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance
of the LTC6950. Follow the procedure below.
Connect the DC590 to one of your computer’s USB ports
with the included USB cable.
The DC590 and ClockWizard application are required to
control the DC1795A through a personal computer (PC).
ClockWizard Installation
DC590 Configuration
Place the DC590 jumpers in the following positions (refer
to Figure 2):
JP4: EE - Must be in the EN position.
The ClockWizard software is used to communicate with
the LTC6950. 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 ClockWizard system requirements:
JP5: ISO - ON must be selected.
• Windows Operating System: Windows XP, Windows
2003 Server, Windows Vista, Windows 7
JP5: SW - ON must be selected.
• Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP1 or later
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.
• Windows Installer 3.1 or later
• Linear Technology’s DC590 hardware

DEMO MANUAL DC1795A
Quick Start Procedure
Download the ClockWizard setup file at www.linear.com/
ClockWizard.
2.Connect the DC590 to the DC1795A with the provided
ribbon cable.
Run the ClockWizard setup file and follow the instructions
given on the screen. The setup file will verify and/or install
Microsoft .NET and install the ClockWizard. Refer to the
Help menu for software operation.
3.Run the ClockWizard application.
DC1795A Configuration
1.Connect the GND, V+ = 3.15V to 3.45V, V+ to 5.25V and
V+ VCXO turrets to a power supply and apply power
(see Figure 1 and the Typical DC1795A Requirements
and Characteristics table).
4.In ClockWizard, click File > Load Settings and point to
the “LTC6950_PECL0_250MHz.clkset” file.
The green “STAT1” LED on the DC1795A should turn on
and the “STAT2” LED should turn off indicating that the
loop is locked at 1000MHz. A 250MHz signal should be
present on the PECL0 outputs.
Be sure to power down or terminate any unused RF output
with 50Ω, or poor spurious performance may result.

Quick Start Procedure
Troubleshooting
If the green LED does not illuminate, follow the instructions below:
1.Verify that you are able to communicate with the
DC1795A. The bottom status line in ClockWizard should
read “LTC6950” and “Comm Enabled.”
2.Verify that V+ = 3.15V to 3.45V, V+ to 5.25V and V+
VCXO turrets have the correct voltages on them (see
the Typical DC1795A Requirements and Characteristics
table).
3.Select “Status” Output = 2 in ClockWizard’s System
Tab. Click “Read All.” See if the NO_VCO or NO_REF
boxes in the second column are checked.
a. If NO_REF is checked, verify the “V+ XO” test point
voltage is set to 3.3V. Verify R73 is installed (0 ohm)
b.IF NO_VCO is checked, verify the components between
U4 and U1 match the default BOM.
Contact the factory for further troubleshooting.
DC1795A Reconfiguration
The DC1795A allows the use of a variety of references,
VCOs and active or passive loop filters. The following
covers the hardware reconfiguration of the DC1795A.
Refer to ClockWizard and the LTC6950 data sheet to better understand how to change programmed parameters
on the DC1795A.
LTC6950 CLKSET Files
The ClockWizard provides three different clkset files for
evaluation purposes. These files were made for the default
bill of materials. If board modifications are made, these
files or the loop filter may need to be modified for the
LTC6950 to lock correctly.
1.LTC6950_PECL0_250MHz.clkset: Produces a 250MHz
output on PECL0. All other outputs are powered down.
2.LTC6950_Figure16_250MHZ.clkset: Matches Figure
16 of the LTC6950 data sheet. To sync outputs, refer
to the EZSync Function section.
3.LTC6950_ALL_CHAN_250MHz.clkset: Produces a
250MHz output on all five outputs. To sync outputs,
refer to the EZSync Function section.
4
EZSync Function
Apply a 1ms or longer high pulse to the SYNC SMA connector to take advantage of the EZSync function. Refer
to the LTC6950 data sheet for SYNC timing and level
requirements.
LVPECL Output Options
The DC1795A has four AC coupled LVPECL outputs.
Internal biasing (IBIASx = H) is required with this default
termination network. The DC1795A has options for pull
down or series resistors to accommodate the other LVPECL
termination networks described in the data sheet.
LVDS/CMOS Output Options
The LVDS/CMOS output is DC coupled without on-board
termination by default. The DC1795A provides pull down,
series and a differential termination resistor options to
accommodate other termination networks described in
the data sheet.

DC1795A Reconfiguration
Reference Options
Clock Follower
Table 1 details the available reference options and board
modifications for each available option. The CLKSET files
described above assume the noise profile of the default
reference. If a different reference is used, change the
reference noise profile in ClockWizard before simulating
the LTC6950 under the Loop Design tab.
When using the LTC6950 as a clock follower the LTC6950’s
PLL circuitry can be powered down by setting the PDPLL
bit in ClockWizard. This will reduce the LTC6950’s overall
power consumption. Table 2 describes how to reconfigure
the board for a differential external input when using the
LTC6950 as a clock follower. Refer to the EZSync Function
section and to the data sheet for more details on using
the LTC6950 as a clock follower.
VCO Input Options
Table 2 describes the available VCO input options. Board
modifications and power requirements for each option are
also provided in Table 2. There are two different oscillator
footprints on the board: U3, which accommodates the
popular 0.5" × 0.5" package, and U4, which accommodates
another common 14mm × 9mm package with four or six
pins. U4 also accommodates the smaller 5mm × 7.5mm
package. An external connectorized VCO can also drive the
LTC6950 through SMA connector J15. The CLKSET files
described above assume the noise profile for the default
VCO. If a different VCO is used, change the VCO noise
profile in ClockWizard before simulating the LTC6950
under the Loop Design tab.
Loop Filter Design and Installation
Tables 3, 4 and 5 cross reference the loop filter options
shown in ClockWizard’s Loop Design tab with the DC1795A
component reference designators. Table 3 is dedicated to
the default oscillator, component U4. Table 4 is dedicated to
another common oscillator footprint, component U3. Table 5
can be used with external oscillators. Use ClockWizard to
select, design and simulate different loop filters.
Some VCO tuning voltage ranges are greater than the
LTC6950 charge pump voltage range (refer to the LTC6950
data sheet). In such cases, an active loop filter using an
op amp can deliver the required tuning voltage. When
satisfied with the loop filter design, use Tables 3, 4 and 5
to help identify which components should be modified.
The loop filter components are located on the bottom side
of the DC1795A.

DEMO MANUAL DC1795A
Schematic Diagram
Note: The buffers shown on sheet 2 of 2 of the schematic are used to protect the LTC6950 when connected to the DC590 before the
LTC6950 is powered up. There is no need for such circuitry if the SPI bus is not active before powering up the LTC6950. The EEPROM
is for identification and is not needed to program the LTC6950.
