1 General Description User's Guide SCAU020 – March 2007 10.9MHz–1175MHz Low Phase Noise Clock Evaluation Board Figure 1. CDCE421EVM Evaluation Board Features: • Easy-to-use evaluation module generates low phase noise clocks between 10.
www.ti.com 2 Signal Path and Control Circuitry Signal Path and Control Circuitry The CDCE421 can accept a 27MHz—38.33MHz frequency input from either an LVCMOS source (up to 3.3V) or a crystal in the same frequency range. The CDCE421EVM is divided into four blocks.
www.ti.com 3 Block Description 3.1 Block A 3.2 Block B 3.3 Block C 3.4 Block D 4 Software-Selectable Options Block Description This section discusses the four EVM blocks. Block A includes a CDCE421 QFN device that accepts an LVCMOS reference input through the vertical SMA input connector (Ref Input) which is ac-coupled onto the board.
www.ti.com 5 Installing the Software GUI and USB Driver Installing the Software GUI and USB Driver The CDCE421EVM software can be installed on a PC running the Microsoft Windows ® 2000 operating system or higher (including Windows XP ® ). To start software installation, run the ChronosSetup.
www.ti.com 6 ChronosGUI 6.1 Using Software-Enabled Automatic PLL Selection ChronosGUI After the setup wizard completes, start the GUI interface from the Start menu (Start → Texas Instruments → Chronos Eval → TIChronosGUI.exe). Connect the USB cable to the EVM.
www.ti.com ChronosGUI frequency should be entered here in this format: xx.xxx (specified in MHz). Step 3. Output Calculator and Apply PLL Settings. The second row of calculations is used to obtain the PLL settings necessary to achieve a particular output frequency provided a given input frequency to CDCE421.
www.ti.com 6.2 Manual PLL Block Selection (Advanced Control) ChronosGUI The advanced control screen helps to set the PLL without having to manually alter the individual blocks within the PLL.
www.ti.com ChronosGUI Table 1 lists the various menu items in this screen. Table 1. Software Settings Description Section Function VCO Select Selects between VCO1 and VCO2. Only one VCO can be used during operation. See CDCE421 data sheet for VCO tuning ranges.
