It has two level-controlled single-ended RF outputs to support Tx and Rx sub-systems. A highly-configurable near noiseless clock multiplier can be used to minimise close-in phase noise and mitigate integer and fractional boundary spurious. The chip configuration is controlled by an SPI-compatible C-BUS serial interface. Available in a 7 x 7 mm LGA-48 package, the CMX940 reduces component count and PCB board area, requiring only external loop filter and clock reference to provide a complete and very compact RF synthesizer solution. Low operating voltage and low power consumption make it the perfect choice for a wide variety of portable and battery powered wireless applications, including digital narrowband two-way radio equipment compliant with ETSI PMR co-existence standards applicable under the Radio Equipment Directive.

This greatly simplifies the approach to the evaluation and design-in process. Link to: PE0003_Product_Page PE0003 Driver – Windows should automatically load the correct driver when the PE0003 is connected via USB and powered on. If the driver fails to load then this can be downloaded from the PE0003 page above. EV9400 The EV9400 Evaluation Kit is designed to assist in the evaluation and application development of the CMX940. Documents EV9400 User Manual Please register or login to download EV9400 GUI A GUI for the PE0003 that provides an automated visual design tool for the EV9400. The tool allows the user to interactively develop PLL settings for the EV9400 and export those settings or import settings from another source such as the Octave-based PLL Simulation tool. A spur avoidance algorithm allows a designer to rapidly develop a library of device settings for their project. Calibration values can be captured and re-written to allow rapid channel switching with extremely fast lock times for evaluation in TDMA settings.
