Power Supply Connections
External power supply of +3 V to +5.5 V must be
provided to the board.
The NB4N502 has a positive supply pin, V
DD
, and a
ground pin, GND. Connect a single power supply to the
evaluation board (see Figure 2.) by connecting V
DD
to the
positive supply, +3 V to +5.5 V, and GND to 0 V. Power
supply banana plug connectors for V
DD
and GND are
provided at the top corners of the board.

External Reference Clock
An SMA connector is provided for X1/CLK if an external
clock source is used on Pin 1. The metal trace at the package
pin is intentionally open for crystal use and must be shorted
for a connection to Pin 1 for external clock use.
Crystal and Crystal Load Capacitors Selection Guide
A through
−
hole or surface mount crystal can be used. The
metal traces at the crystal pins are intentionally open for
crystal use and will have no impedance effect on the crystal
pins.
The total on
−
chip capacitance is approximately 12 pF per
pin (CIN1 and CIN2). A parallel resonant, fundamental
mode crystal should be used. The evaluation board includes
pads for small capacitors from X1/CLK to ground and from
X2 to ground. These capacitors, CL1 and CL2, are used to
adjust the stray capacitance of the board to match the
nominally required crystal load capacitance (CLOAD
(crystal)). Crystal load capacitors must be connected from
each of the pins X1 and X2 to ground. The load capacitance
of the crystal (CLOAD (crystal)) must be matched by total
load capacitance of the oscillator circuitry network, CINX,
CSX and CLX, as seen by the crystal (see Figure 3 and
equations below).

Control and Select Pins
The NB4N502 evaluation board is equipped with SMA
connectors to control the static input logic levels of the
Multiplier Select pins, S0 and S1 (see Table 2).
Pin S1 defaults to M when left open. Pin S0 defaults to H
when left open.

Position slide switches are also provided to control the
Multiplier Select pins. To use the switches, headers JMP3
and JMP4 must be shorted.
