When operating the LMX2820 using its Evaluation Board and controlling it using the GUI, I find that the current consumption is higher than indicated in the datasheet.
I am using it in External VCO mode, and the TICS-PRO GUI is set up to do that, but I checked the current and the clamp on meter reads 414mA. The datasheet says it should draw 290mA in External VCO Mode. Are there settings in the LMX2820 which the GUI is not entirely disabling when the user selects EXT VCO? Is the user supposed to disconnect the VCC_VCO or VCC_BUF lines from the 3.3VDC supply to ensure that the consumption meets the published data?
