2.1.1 Evaluation Setup Requirement

At a minimum, evaluation of the buffer mode requires:

  • A DC power supply capable of at least 3.1V, 2A
  • A high-quality signal source, such as an SMA100B
  • A spectrum analyzer or signal analyzer
  • A PC with a USB port, running Windows 7 or a more recent version of Windows
  • Texas Instruments Clocks and Synthesizers TICS Pro software
Full evaluation requires the following additional hardware:

  • A high-speed 4-CH oscilloscope capable of resolving 5ps step size for SYSREF delay tuning
  • A 2-CH arbitrary function generator or other pulse source capable of outputting complementary LVDS pulses and DC levels (1.25V ± 0.2V, differential, into 100Ω DC load) for triggering SYSREF, SYNCing the dividers, and determining SYSREF windowing values
  • A phase noise analysis system capable of measuring up to 18GHz
