LMX2594: some questions

Part Number: LMX2594

Tool/software:

Hello! There are several questions regarding the use of LMX2594 as follows:

1.If for the RF output port, I only use one RFOUTAP, and the remaining three RFOUTAM, RFOUTBM, and RFOUTBP are directly grounded at 50 ohms?

2. Is the LO output power given in the manual single-channel power or differential power?

3. Can the power supply of VCCBUF be provided together with the other several lines? (If differential output is not adopted)

  • Hi Hui,

    The unused complementary pin should be 50Ω terminated.

    Unused channel can be left floating.

    For example:

    All the power measurement are single-ended. 

    Yes, VccBuf can be connected together with other supply pins.

  • Hi, 

    Is the following Pout  only for channel A output  or  only for channel B output? Or for A and B output simultaneously? 

    For example, when channel A is used,  channel B is  floating,then the PoutA = 2dBm@15GHz。

    or when channel B is used,  channel A is  floating,then the PoutB= 2dBm@15GHz。

    or when both channel are used,PoutA=PoutB=2dBm@15GHz。

  • Hi Xiaojing,

    The output drivers are independent of each other, the output power of one channel will remain unchanged no matter what is the status of the other channel.
