(1) For typical total current consumption of 250 mA: 100-MHz input frequency, OSCin
doubler bypassed, pre-R divider bypassed, multiplier bypassed, post-R divider
bypassed, 100-MHz phase detector frequency, 0.468-mA charge pump current,
channel divider off, one output on,
6GHz output frequency, 50-Ω output
pullup, 0-dBm output power (differential). See the
Section 8 section for more information.
(2) For a typical high output power for a single-ended output, with 50-Ω pullup on both M and P side, register OUTx_POW = 63. Un-used side terminated with 50-Ω load.
(3) There is internal voltage biasing so the OSCinM and OSCinP pins must always be
AC-coupled (capacitor in series). Vppd is differential peak-to-peak voltage
swing. If there is a differential signal (two are negative polarity of each
other), the total swing is one subtracted by the other, each should be 0.1 to
1-Vppd. If there is a single-ended signal, it can have 0.2 to 2 Vppd. See the
Section 8 section for more information.
(4) To use phase detector frequencies lower than 5-MHz set register FCAL_LPFD_ADJ = 3.
To use phase detector frequencies higher than 200 MHz, you must be in integer
mode, set register PFD_CTL = 3 (to use single PFD mode), set FCAL_HPFD_ADJ = 3.
For more information, see the
Section 7 section.
(5) The PLL noise contribution is measured using a clean reference and a wide loop bandwidth and is composed into flicker and flat components. PLL_flat = PLL_FOM + 20 × log(Fvco/Fpd) + 10 × log(Fpd / 1Hz). PLL_flicker (offset) = PLL_flicker_Norm + 20 × log(Fvco / 1GHz) – 10 × log(offset / 10kHz). Once these two components are found, the total PLL noise can be calculated as PLL_Noise = 10 × log(10PLL_Flat / 10 + 10PLL_flicker / 10).
(6) Not tested in production. Ensured by characterization. Allowable temperature drift refers to programming the device at an initial temperature and allowing this temperature to drift without reprogramming the device, and still have the device stay in lock. This change could be up or down in temperature and the specification does not apply to temperatures that go outside the recommended operating temperatures of the device.
(7) Not tested in production. Typical numbers from characterization with output settings: 50-Ω pullup, OUTA_POW = 15, channel divider off.
(8) The is the calibration time from the time of FCAL_EN = 1 is triggered to the
calibration algorithm completing and output at 7 GHz. A reference input signal
of 100 MHz is used and register CAL_CLK_DIV = 0 for state machine clock to be
100 MHz. Faster calibration times can be achieve through changes of other
register settings. See the
Section 8 section for more information. This parameter is ensured by
bench.
(9) This parameter is verified by characterization on evaluation board, not tested in production.
