Anders You can set the overall PLL divider to any even value between 4 and 66 as there is a fixed /2 prescaler preceding the programmable divider, so with a 20MHz reference (from a 10MHz source) set the overall divider to 50 to give 1GHz - not sure if you set N to 50 or 25 in the Eval.

Some more testing today. It turns out that AD's schematic for the evaluation board doesn't match with reality - and so I had not connected the PLL filter components at all previously! Now they are 'in the loop' and I get reasonable results without the 2x reference clock setting. With 2x activated

Just for reference, my LPRO-101 is dirty as dickens. I get solid harmonics out to 150MHz. I haven't looked at it on a scope yet. There's a good filter on line, I think it was made for the LPRO, if you want the link, I'll look it up. Dave - Original Message - From: Philip
