GENERAL DESCRIPTION
product series from
very low noise phase-locked loop (PLL) clock synthesizers
featuring an integrated voltage controlled oscillator (VCO),
clock dividers, and up to 24 outputs. The
product
series features automatic holdover and a flexible reference input
circuit allowing very smooth reference clock switching. The
product family also features the necessary provisions
for an external VCXO.
evaluation board is a compact, easy to use
platform for evaluating all features of the
. This user guide covers all six versions of the
product family.
Although the Quick Start Guide to the AD9520 PLL section
applies specifically to the
, increasing the N
(feedback) divider and channel divider increases the VCO
frequency to the allowable frequency range of other
versions.
For the
, which lacks the internal VCO, certain
portions of this user guide that apply to the internal VCO (such
as VCO calibration) can be ignored.
