LMX2820: Can each pair of differential outputs of LMX2820 be used as two single-ended outputs?

Part Number: LMX2820

Can each pair of differential outputs of LMX2820 be used as two single-ended outputs? If so, the output power shares the OUTX_PWR setting except that the phase is 180° out of phase?

Also, if two pairs of differential outputs are used as 4 single-ended outputs, what is the approximate power consumption of the chip?

Thanks!

  • Hi Applo,

    We can use the differential outputs as four single-ended outputs, there will be no current consumption change vs using it as two differential outputs, as all pins need to be terminated properly if you are using them. The _P and _N pin has the same output power but they are 180deg out of phase.
