DAC38RF80: DAC38RF80 VCO?

Part Number: DAC38RF80

Dears.

We are developing DAC38RF80.

In the data sheet, the VCO range is from 5.24GHz to 6.72GHz.

I want to use the VCO at 6.63552 GHz.

Is it available as specified in the datasheet?

Can I use VCO at 6.63552Ghz in DAC38RF8xEVM?

If so, What is the way?

Thank you.

  • Hi,

    It is possible to run the DAC VCO frequency at 6.63552 GHz if you provide an appropriate reference clock frequency. You can select the reference frequency (Fref) as any of the follwing: 

    Fref = N*6.63552/(M*4), N,M are the PLL N and M dividers and M should be greater than 3.

    Thanks,

    Eben.
