DEMO MANUAL DC1846A

DESCRIPTION

LTC6947 

Ultralow Noise and Spurious 

Fractional-N Synthesizer 

Demonstration circuit 1846A features the 

LTC

®

6947

an 

Ultralow Noise and Spurious Fractional-N Synthesizer.
DC1846A provides 50Ω SMA connectors for the reference 

frequency (REF+) and the two single-ended RF outputs 

(RF+ and RF–).

A DC590 USB serial controller board is used for SPI com-

munication with the LTC6947, controlled by the supplied 

FracNWizard™ software.

Design  files  for  this  circuit  board  are  available  at
