DEMO MANUAL DC1765A LTC6957-1/LTC6957-2 Low Phase Noise, Dual LVPECL or LVDS Output Buffer/Driver/Logic Converter Description Demonstration Circuit 1765A features the LTC(R)6957-1/ LTC6957-2, a low phase noise, dual LVPECL or LVDS output buffer/driver/logic converter. The DC1765A provides 0.5" spaced SMA connectors for the differential inputs and outputs. The inputs are terminated to on-board 50 resistors. The LVPECL outputs of the DC1765A-A are individually biased through 130 resistors to ground and then AC-coupled. The transmission lines are 50, making the outputs suitable to drive 50 input impedance instruments. The LVDS outputs of the DC1765A-B are terminated with 100 differential and are DC-coupled. The DC1765A allows the user to take advantage of the shutdown and bandwidth selection features of the LTC6957. The DC1765A can operate with a single-ended or differential sine wave or square-wave input signal. Supply the DC1765A with 3.3V and it is ready to function. The DC1765A offers extra component population options to make it compatible with different logic signal types.

DC1765A Inputs and Outputs dc1765af 1 DEMO MANUAL DC1765A Quick Start Procedure The DC1765A is very straightforward to operate. Refer to Figure 1 for the following discussion. DC1765A Configuration 1. Apply a low-noise and low-spurious 3.3V supply between the V+ (E1) and GND (E2) turrets. 2. Connect a low phase-noise (or jitter) single-ended or differential input signal to IN+ (J1) and/or IN- (J2) SMA connectors. Refer to the LTC6957 data sheet for appropriate input signal types and levels. DC1765A Reconfiguration The DC1765A is flexible and allows the connectivity of a variety of input and output signal types. The DC1765A is configured as shown in the schematic diagram. However, the DC1765A allows the installation of different input and output configurations to adapt to a variety of logic signals. Refer to the Applications Information section of the LTC6957 data sheet for all possible connectivity options that can be implemented by modifying the DC1765A. 3. Connect either of the outputs (OUT1, J3 and J4 or OUT2, J5 and J6) to a high-speed scope, spectrum analyzer or a signal analyzer to start the evaluation of the LTC6957. 4. Configure the input bandwidth of the LTC6957 with the use of FILTA (JP1) and FILTB (JP2) jumpers. Follow the instructions given in the LTC6957 data sheet to choose the correct bandwidth given an input signal. 5. Shut down an unused output by using jumper SD1 (JP3) to shutdown OUT1 or jumper SD2 (JP4) to shutdown OUT2. dc1765af 2 DEMO MANUAL DC1765A Assembly Options Table 1.
