Application Report Abstract

TRF2050 FRACTIONAL-N/INTEGER-N SYNTHESIZER

This document describes the TRF2050 evaluation board and associated software. The TRF2050 evaluation board is comprised of a multi-layer printed circuit board. The following are included to aid in the assessment of this device:

- The TRF2050 Functional Block Diagram

- The TRF2050 Evaluation Board Mechanical Outline

- The Evaluation Board Schematic

- The Evaluation Board Part List

The voltage regulators, external power, serial interface, and the external reference are explained in detail to ensure functionality of the TRF2050 evaluation board.

A DOS based software driver is supplied with the evaluation board. Once the program is executed the program screen is divided into four main sections:

- Main Loop

- Auxiliary Loop

- Device

- Editing Parameters

Common coaxial and multi-conductor connectors allow different types of external test equipment to be used with the TRF2050 evaluation board such as the following:

- The IBM Personal Computer or similar with parallel printer port

- Linear, single output power supply

- 20 MHz stable signal source for reference clock input

- Spectrum analyzer.
