LMX2582: Need to output 2GHZ and 4GHZ for LMX2582

Part Number: LMX2582
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CDCLVP1204, CDCLVC1103

Hi team,

The customer would like to use CDCLVP1204 + LMX2582. The input frequency is 100MHZ. He needs to  output 100MHZ, 2GHZ and 4GHZ.

The output frequency 100MHZ is used as the input frequency of FPGA. He would like to use LMX2582 to output 2GHZ and 4GHZ.

Please check the attach fig 1 for the customer's requirements.

For the customer's requirements, I use Webench to do a simulation, fig2. From the simulation result, I will recommend CDCLVC1103.

And the the simulation result that it will be needed two LMX2582 devices.

Q1:  LMX2582 has two output channels. They are A channel and B channel. 

Are the customer's requirements needed two LMX2582 devices, like my simulation result?

Q2: The customer needs to calculate the loop filter. Can the customer refer to the simulation result fig 3? Do you have any better suggestions?

Q3: The customer would like to get how to configure the registers for his requirements. Do you have any suggestions? Can I recommend

the TIS Pro software to configure the registers if the customer uses his board?

  • Hi Mickey,

    Here are the answers to the corresponding questions:

    Q1: LMX2582 has two output channels. They are A channel and B channel.

    Are the customer's requirements needed two LMX2582 devices, like my simulation result?

    ANS: They only need one LMX2582 for this use case, because they are using 4GHz and 2GHz, they can use one RFoutA to route directly from VCO at 4GHz and then RFoutB to use channel divider of div-2 from the 4GHz VCO to get 2GHz output.


    Q2: The customer needs to calculate the loop filter. Can the customer refer to the simulation result fig 3? Do you have any better suggestions?

    ANS: for simulations, use this latest software specifically for advanced simulations for PLLs. Go to this link to download, it can do a lot of optimizations depending on your parameters.

    Q3: The customer would like to get how to configure the registers for his requirements. Do you have any suggestions? Can I recommend

    the TIS Pro software to configure the registers if the customer uses his board?

    ANS: Yes, TICS Pro software is the tool to use for configuring their use case and programming those settings.
