SOT-02220313003-SF-B6

Rev. 1.5

Description:
Model SOT-02220313003-SF-B6 is a fast-hopping frequency
synthesizer module designed and manufactured forstandard test instrumentation, communication, and Radarsystems as a local oscillator. The module covers a frequency
range of 0.2 to 20 GHz with an exceptional high hopping
speed of 3 µs, low harmonics and spurious emissions as wellas superior low phase noise performance. The frequency
resolution of the module is up to 10 kHz. The phase noise of
the oscillator is dependent on the quality of the reference source. When the oscillator operates with theinternal reference, the phase noise is -96 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset at 20 GHz frequency point. Theoscillator has a maximum spurious of -60 dBc. The oscillator has a built-in voltage regulator to further
improve the signal quality and provide over voltage protection. This module can be directly controlledwith digital signals following parallel communication protocol through Mini Delta Ribbon (MDR)
connector. Eravant offers an evaluation kit including the control board under model number, SOT-EVAS1, with the GUI (Graphic User Interface) for initial system 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 0to +0.6 V. The data is sampled at the rising edge of LE (latch enable) signal. The TTL High and TTL Low ofLE needs to maintain at least 30 ns. Pins D0-D20 controls the synthesized frequency. The unit ofsynthesized frequency is 10 KHz. For example, when frequency is synthesized to 9.8 GHz, the controldata is 980000. The data sent through parallel port is EF420H. Pin D21 is reserved.

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 MDR 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 isused, 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 additionalheatsink or fan if necessary. The case temperature of the device shall never exceed +70 ˚C.
