Texas Instruments LMX2594PSEVM Synthesizer Evaluation Module

Texas Instruments LMX2594PSEVM Synthesizer Evaluation Module (EVM) is a platform for evaluating the phase-synchronization (PS) feature of the LMX2594 wideband RF synthesizer. LMX2594PSEVM contains two LMX2594 parts that share the same reference clock.

After phase synchronization, the phase of the parts’ outputs can be measured and compared. The Texas Instruments LMX2594PSEVM also contains a radio-frequency (RF) power combiner, combining two phase-synchronized outputs into a single output with reduced phase noise.

Features

  • Two LMX2594 on board share the same reference clock and SYNC signal
  • Extremely short RF output traces eliminate PCB trace-length deskew
  • Independent low-dropout (LDO) power supply eliminates crosstalk through power-supply lines
  • Supports reduced phase noise verification with onboard RF-power combiner
