SOT-11414413200-08-E6

Advanced Rev 1.3

Description:
Model SOT-11414413200-08-E6 is a low phase noise 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 110 to 140
GHz with an exceptional low harmonics and spurious emissions
as well as superior low phase noise performance. The model isexternally referenced. The output power of the module +13 dBmwith ±2 dB power flatness. The frequency step resolution of themodule is up to 1.2 Hz. The phase noise of the oscillator isdependent on the quality of the reference source. The oscillator
has a built-in voltage regulator to further improve the signalquality and provide over voltage protection. The normal
operating state of the oscillator is external referenced. This module can be directly controlled withdigital signals following SPI communication protocol through Micro-D connector. Eravant offers anevaluation kit including the control board under model number, SOT-EVA-S1, with the GUI (Graphic UserInterface) 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.

SAGE Millimeter, Inc.

Frequency Synthesizer Module, Low Phase Noise, F BandThe synthesized frequency unit is 0.1 Hz before being multiplied by ×12. For instance, when synthesizing
a frequency of 120 GHz, the data in bits [63:16] should be 120 GHz divided by 12, which equals 10 GHz.
Considering the 0.1 Hz unit, the value should be 10×109×10 or 1.0×1011. In hexadecimal notation (using 6bytes), it is represented as 00174876E800. The data sent through SPI should be
0x02_00174876E800_0000.

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.

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.
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.
