1.0 General Description
The LMX2433SLE Evaluation Board simplifies evaluation of the LMX2433SLE 3.6 GHz/1.7 GHz
PLLatinum
no additional support circuitry.
The evaluation board consists of a LMX2433SLE device, RF and IF VCO modules, and RF and
IF loop filters built by discrete components. The SMA flange mount connectors are provided for
external reference input, RF and IF VCO outputs, and the power and grounding connection. A
cable assembly is bundled with the evaluation board for connecting to a PC through the parallel
printer port. By means of MICROWIRE
can be run on a PC to facilitate the LMX2433SLE internal register programming for the evaluation
and measurement.
The LMX2433SLE Evaluation Board is fully assembled and factory tested. Follow the instructions
below to set up the hardware platform for the measurement of interest.

Recommended Test Equipment
Spectrum analyzer with operating frequency range > 3.5 GHz
DC power supply with adjustable voltage outputs
10 MHz signal source/generator. A high quality TCXO is the preferred signal source.
Alternatively, the 10 MHz (0 dBm) reference output from the rear panel of the spectrum
analyzer may be used.
