SOT-02215300200-SF-E6

Rev. 1.2

Description:
Model SOT-02215300200-SF-E6 is a low phase noise
frequency synthesizer module designed andmanufactured for standard test instrumentation,communication, and Radar systems as a local oscillator.
The module covers a frequency range of 0.2 to 15 GHzwith an exceptional low harmonics and spurious emissions
as well as superior low phase noise performance. The
model is externally referenced. The output power of themodule -3 dBm with ±4 dB power flatness. The frequency
step resolution of the module is up to 0.1 Hz. The phasenoise of the oscillator is dependent on the quality of the reference source. The oscillator has a maximum
spurious of -65 dBc. The oscillator has a built-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 controlled with digital signals following SPI communication protocol throughMicro-D connector. Eravant offers an evaluation kit including the control board under model number,
SOT-EVA-S1, with the GUI (Graphic User Interface) for initial system set and rapid system development
as a separate product.

SPI Communication Port:The device is controlled with a SPI 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 0to +0.6 V. To send control signal to this module, the W/R bit is first sent, followed by register address,and data.

The unit of synthesized frequency is 0.1 Hz. For example, when frequency is synthesized to 5 GHz, thedata in bits [63:16] is 50000000000. The data sent through SPI is 0x02_000BA43B7400_0000. The
default synthesized frequency is 10 GHz.

Evaluation Kit:
The evaluation kit includes a control board, SOT-EVA-S1, and GUI. The control board is not included inthis product, but it can be ordered separately. The evaluation kit allows the users to easily set up thesystem and control the synthesized frequency of this module manually. The computer display of the GUI
interface is shown below.

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/1.5 A is required. The proper
connection of the power supply to the Micro-D connector is illustrated in the outline drawingabove.
Standard Micro-D9 male to Micro-D9 male cable SOT-CC-M9MM9M-S1 is provided to connect
synthesizer with Evaluation Kit SOT-EVA-S1.
The device is controlled via Personal Computer. A SPI-to-serial adapter is needed between thedevice and PC.
SAGE Millimeter, Inc. 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 +75 ˚C.
Proper torque, 8.0 ± 0.15 inch-pounds (0.90 ± 0.02 Nm), should be applied. SAGE Millimeter
torque wrench, model SCH-08008-S1, is highly recommended.
