SOT-01210313200-SF-B6

Rev. 1.4

Description:
Model SOT-01210313200-SF-B6 is a low phasenoise frequency synthesizer module designed andmanufactured for standard test instrumentation,communication and Radar systems as a local
oscillator. The module covers a frequency range of0.1 to 10 GHz with an exceptional low harmonics
and spurious emissions as well as superior low
phase noise performance. The model is externallyreferenced with internal reference backup. The
frequency resolution of the module is up to 0.1 Hz. The phase noise of the oscillator is dependent on thequality of the reference source. The oscillator has a maximum spurious of -65 dBc. The oscillator has abuilt-in voltage regulator to further improve the signal quality and provide over voltage protection. The
normal operating state of the oscillator is external referenced. This module can be directly controlledwith digital signals through Micro-D connector. Proper connecting cables and user manual for system
integration are provided with the synthesizer. Eravant includes a generic GUI (Graphic User Interface)for initial system set and rapid system development.

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 pin
designation of the power supply on the Micro-D connector is illustrated in the outline drawingabove.
The output power is controllable by the command.
The device is controlled via Personal Computer. A USB to Micro-D connector cable is needed toform the connection.
While the standard interconnection cables are included as a kit with details shown in below
table for convenient customer setup, the step-by-step custom cable configurations are given inthe Appendix below.

The phase noise shown is with internal reference at room temperature. If external reference isused, phase noise can be estimated from the external reference phase noise + 20*log(N)+3,
where N is the multiplication factor.

Caution:••••The device is static sensitive. Always follow ESD rules when working with the device.
Wrong bias or reverse bias the synthesizer 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 +70 ˚C.
Proper torque, 8.0 ± 0.15 inch-pounds (0.90 ± 0.02 Nm), should be applied. Eravant torquewrench, model SCH-08008-S1, is highly recommended.
