CDCE62005 Power Optimization

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CDCE62005

Hi,

I am using 2 nos of CDCE62005 IC in my design to generate 5 nos of 250MHz clock each with 50 MHz oscillator as input to the secondary input pin. The design is working fine and I greatly thank the Forum Members who helped me in designing. 

But the issue is, in programmed or default state the temperature around the IC on PCB is going up to 55 to 60 deg C.

We have taken all cares those are recommended in datasheet w.r.t the PCB layout for Power. Is there any way of reducing current consumption by disabling any un used features in the synthesizer IC. Please let me know if there is any power optimization methods for this IC.

Regards,

Vijetha 

  • Hi Vijetha,

    Can you share your register configuration? What is the current draw for the CDCE62005?

    These are my register settings for 2 synthesizers. the synthesizers are configured from CPLD through SPI.

    The current drawn was not physically checked. The board is designed considering 1.65W of Power requirement by LVDS output channels.

  • Hello there,

    We are not using Crystal Input (AUX_IN,AUX_OUT) for synthesizer. But still we provide Powers for that (VCC_AUXIN and VCC_AUXOUT). Is there any option to disable this power through SOFTWARE?

  • Hi Vijetha,

    This is not necessary as there is no XTAL connected to the oscillator. Can you measure the current draw of the device? The table estimate of 1.6W is for a particular configuration, but refer to Table 48 for power calculation as well as Figure 40 for die temperature vs power usage for the CDCE62005.
