Introduction This Evaluation Kit is specifically designed for evaluating the PE9601 2.2 GHz Integer-N PLL. The Evaluation Kit allows maximum flexibilty for optimizing phase noise, spur, lock time and power performance for specific applications. Using the hardware and software provided in the Evaluation Kit, both serial and direct modes of programming can be demonstrated.
Evaluation Kit Contents And Requirements The Evaluation Kit includes all of the specific software and hardware required to evaluate the PE9601. Included in the Evaluation Kit are: 1 PE9601 Evaluation Board 1 PE9601 2.2 GHz Integer-N PLL 1 CD with Application Software included...
10 MHz on-board reference or an external reference. Setting the BMODE Control switch (BMODE switch S3-1) to the "on" position enables direct mode programming. In the direct mode, the PE9601 can be programmed using the fifteen on-board switches. Setting the BMODE Con- trol switch (BMODE switch S3-1) to the "off"...
