[time-nuts] 4096 PLL - how to switch off on-chip VCO

2022-02-21 Thread ghf
Hi! I'm building a clock source for my LMX2594 15 GHz PLL. I want to max out the LMX2594 phase comparator frequency; that means 300 MHz for fractional operation. The VCXO is a 100 MHz ECOC-2250 crystal oven by ECS because I have it, and it's tripled. Dumping its output into a pair of 1G125

Hi I suspect that somebody somewhere in the documentation process got accuracy and resolution a bit crossed up. Resolution would be pretty easy to observe. In a broad sense, to be accurate to 1/2 ns, the time base in the card would need to be pretty good. Even with a good onboard reference,

Yes, 1Hz observed is 1Hz on the multiplied up signal, which at 5GHz is 2E-10 on the reference causing it The FFT process does indeed smear out faster transitions, so you need to flip between different FFT sizes to see fully what is happening. If you use a prog like SPECTRAN to view the audio

Andy, Thanks for these references Using two 5GHz PLL's, one hard referenced to the in-house standard and the other to the TCXO under test and the outputs of the PLL's send into a mixer producing a 10kHz output send into a PC for FFT analysis made the performance of the TCXO very visible. Can I
