Frequency Synthesizer with Integrated VCO
Description
DC1705C features the LTC
spurious integer-N frequency synthesizer with integrated
VCO. The VCO uses no external components and is inter-
nally calibrated without external system support.
There are three versions of the DC1705C, one for each
version of the LTC6946. The DC1705C-A contains the
LTC6946-1, the DC1705C-B incorporates the LTC6946-2
and DC1705C-C uses the LTC6946-3.

Each DC1705C provides 50Ω SMA connectors for the
reference frequency input, f
output buffer (REF OUT), and the differential RF output

(RF
and RF
). A DC590 USB serial controller board is
used for SPI communication with the LTC6946, controlled
by the supplied PLLWizard™ software.
