LMX2492 EVM

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMX2492, CODELOADER

Hi,

 I am using LMX2492 EVM. The clock can not lock to frequency higher than 10.4 GHz with the codeloader. I want to know how to change the hardware or software settings. Thanks. 

  • Li,

    Although the LMX2492 can operate to higher frequencies, the VCO on the LMX2492 EVM can only go to 10.4 GHz.   So to go to a higher frequency, the VCO needs to be changed.   This footprint is common to many VCO manufactures for higher frequency VCOs, so you should be able to just rework the VCO.

  • Dear Dean Banerjee,

      Thanks for your reply. But according to the VCO (RFVC1843) datasheet, it should work from 9.8-11.3GHz which meets my needs. Besides, could you provide a clearer schematic of the EVM. It is blur in the manual. It seems that in the EVM there is an optional amplifier for VCO tune which is not installed.
