Included within each evaluation kit is:
• One LMX1204 EVM prototype board (HSDC097E1) with integrated USB2ANY controller
• One USB cable
1.2 Evaluation Setup Requirements
At a minimum, evaluation of the buffer mode requires:
• A DC power supply capable of 2.5 V, 2 A
• 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

• A 2-CH arbitrary function generator or other pulse source capable of outputting complementary LVDS pulses
and DC levels (1.25 V ± 0.2 V, differential, into 100-Ω DC load) for triggering SYSREF, SYNCing the dividers,
and determining SYSREF windowing values
• A phase noise analysis system capable of measuring at up to 12.8 GHz
