SOT-01320313001-SF-B6

Frequency Synthesizer Module, High Speed, 1.25 to 20
GHz, 500 ns
SOT-01320313001-SF-B6 is a fast-hopping frequency synthesizer module
designed and manufactured for standard test instrumentation,communication, and Radar systems as a local oscillator. The module covers
a frequency range of 1.25 to 20 GHz with an exceptional high hopping speedof 500 ns, low spurious emissions as well as superior low phase noise
performance. The frequency resolution of the module is up to 10 kHz. Thephase noise of the oscillator is dependent on the quality of the reference
source. When the oscillator operates with the internal reference, the phasenoise is -105 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset at 20 GHz frequency point. Theoscillator has a typical spurious of -60 dBc. The oscillator has a built-in
voltage regulator to further improve the signal quality and provide overvoltage protection. This module can be directly controlled with digital signals
following parallel communication protocol through D-Sub Micro-D connector.
Eravant offers an evaluation kit including the control board under model
number, SOT-EVA-S1, with the GUI (Graphic User Interface) for initialsystem set and rapid system development.

Parallel Communication Port:D0~D20XXLEThe device is controlled with a parallel communication port. Digital high level (TTL High) is +3.3 V, and its effective range
is from +2.7 V to +3.6 V; digital low level (TTL Low) is 0 V and its effective range is from 0 to +0.6 V. The data is sampled
at the rising edge of LE (latch enable) signal. The TTL High and TTL Low of LE needs to maintain at least 30 ns. Pins D0D20 controls the synthesized frequency. The unit of synthesized frequency is 10 KHz. For example, when frequency issynthesized to 9.8 GHz, the control data is 980000. The data sent through parallel port is EF420H. Pin D21 is reserved.

GUI (Graphic User Interface)
The evaluation kit includes a control board, SOT-EVA-S1, and GUI. The control board is not included in this product, but
it can be ordered separately. The evaluation kit allows the users to easily set up the system and control the synthesized
frequency of this module manually. The computer display of the GUI interface is shown below.

Mechanical Outline: (Unless otherwise specified, all dimensions are in inches [millimeters])

NOTE:•All data presented is collected from a sample lot. Actual data may vary unit to unit, slightly.
•All testing was performed under +25 °C case temperature.
•A well-regulated DC power supply capable of delivering +12 VDC/2A is required. The proper connection of the power
supply to the D-Sub Micro-D connector is illustrated in the outline drawing above.
•Standard MDR male to MDR male cable SOT-CC-M36MM36M-S1 is provided to connect synthesizer with Evaluation Kit
SOT-EVA-S1.
•
The phase noise shown is with internal reference at room temperature. If external reference is used, phase noise can be
estimated from the external reference phase noise + 20*log(N)+3, where N is the multiplication factor.
•The device is controlled via Personal Computer. A parallel-to-serial adapter is needed between the device and PC.
•Eravant reserves the right to change the information presented without notice.
CAUTION:•The device is static sensitive. Always follow ESD rules when working with the device.
•Wrong bias or reverse bias on the sensor will damage the device.
•Exceeding absolute maximum ratings shown will damage the device. Use additional heatsink or fan if necessary. The
case temperature of the device shall never exceed +50 ˚C.
•For 1.35 mm, 1.85 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.92 mm, and SMA connectors proper torque should be applied: 8.0 ± 0.15 inch-pounds(0.90 ± 0.02 Nm). Torque wrench model SCH-08008-S1 is highly recommended.
