Figure 1. CDCE62005EVM Evaluation Board
The CDCE62005 is a high performance, low phase noise frequency synthesizer and jitter cleaner. It
features an on-chip PLL with dual integrated LC Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) operating from
1.75–2.35 GHz. It provides support for three manually or automatically selected inputs, and provides up to
five differential, or ten single-ended, low-jitter outputs.
The CDCE62005 supports single-ended and differential input signals, as well as providing a crystal
oscillator circuit that operates in conjunction with an external AT-cut crystal.
The CDCE62005 is programmed through an SPI interface using the supplied EVM programming graphical
user interface (GUI).
The evaluation module (EVM) demonstrates the electrical performance of the device. This
fully-assembled, factory-tested evaluation board allows complete validation of all device functions. For
optimum performance, the board is equipped with 50
Ω
SMA connectors and well-controlled 50
Ω
impedance microstrip transmission lines.
The CDCE62005 provides three selectable inputs – PRI REF, SEC REF, and AUX IN. The PRI REF and
SEC REF inputs can accept up to 1500 MHz in the fan-out mode. In the PLL mode, PRI REF and SEC
REF can accept an input at up to 500MHz from a differential signal source, or up to 250MHz from a single
