DEMO MANUAL DC2609A
DESCRIPTION
LTC6952
Ultralow Jitter, 4.5GHz PLL with 11 Outputs
and JESD204B Support
Demonstration circuit 2609A features the LTC6952, an
Ultralow Jitter, 4.5GHz PLL with 11 Outputs and JESD204B
Support.
By default, the DC2609A is powered from two supplies.
The 9V-12V supply input powers the onboard reference
and VCO circuitry, along with the LTC6952 5V supply pin.
The 4V-6V supply input powers the LTC6952 3.3V supply
pins. A reduced power option is provided that allows the
LTC6952’s output supply pins to connect to an LTC Silent
Switcher
®
and the LTC6952 input supply pins to connect
to a low noise LDO.
All differential inputs and six of the differential outputs are
populated with 0.5”spaced SMA connectors. These outputs
are AC-coupled with 50Ω transmission lines making them
suitable to drive 50Ω impedance instruments. The remain-
ing five differential outputs are terminated with 100Ω.
All registered trademarks and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
The LTC6952’s EZSync™and SYSREF request func-
tions are made available via the LTC6952 SPI interface
or the EZS_SRQ SMA/turret connectors. The DC2609A,
DC2610A, and DC2611A SMA placement was designed
for ease of connection for all multi-part synchronization
and SYSREF request modes.
The VTUNE and VCO SMAs can mate directly with the
DC2664A VCO rider board. This options allows for a quick
method to evaluate multiple VCOs.
A DC2026 USB serial controller board is used for SPI
communication with the LTC6952, controlled by the sup-
plied LTC6952Wizard™ software.
DC2609 Design files are available.

DEMO MANUAL DC2609A
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the green LEDs (D2, D3, or D4) do not illuminate:
1. Verify J30 measures between 9V and 12V (see the Typi-
cal DC2609A Requirements and Characteristics table)
2. Verify the JP3 and JP5 jumpers are installed correctly
(refer to the DC2609A schematic sheet 3)
3. Verify the output voltages at pin 10 of U7, U8, and U11
are correct
a. U7 = 3.3V
b. U8 = 8V
c. U11 = 5V
If the green LED (D5) does not illuminate:
1. Verify J32 measures between 4V and 6V (see the Typi-
cal DC2609A Requirements and Characteristics)
2. Verify JP4, JP6, and JP7 jumpers are installed correctly
(refer to the DC2609A schematic sheet 3)
3. Verify the voltages at jumper JP6 and JP7 are correct
a. JP6 = 3.3V
b. JP7 = 3.3V
If the red LED (D1) does not illuminate:
1. In LTC6952Wizard’s System tab click “Read All”.
LTC6952Wizard should match Figure 3. If not, see
“Verify DC2609A and LTC6952Wizard Communication”
Verify DC2609A and LTC6952Wizard Communication:
To verify communication with the DC2609A. The bottom
status line in LTC6952Wizard should read “LTC6952”and
“Comm Enabled”as shown in Figure 3. If not, then per-
form the following steps:
1. Ensure the DC2026 is connected to PC
2. Disconnect and Reconnect DC2026 to PC
3. Ensure DC2026 is connected to DC2609A
4. Close LTC6952Wizard and restart
5. Verify the DC2026 has the DC590B Emulator sketch
loaded by contacting the factory or following these
steps.
a. Download QuikEval™
b. Run QuikEval (Linduino connected to the PC)
If QuikEval does not find a DC590B, reload the DC590
Linduino sketch. To use the LTSketchbook refer to the-
Linduino Design Center for instructions on how to start
using Linduino.
If DC2609A performance is less than the LTC6952
data sheet specifications:
1. For unexpected spurious response, verify power sup-
plies are low noise and spurious free power supplies.
Power supplies that are based off a switching regulator
architecture are known to generate spurs on low jitter
clock outputs.
2. For poor phase noise results, verify the phase noise
specifications of the input signal and the phase noise
measurement instrument. Traditional signal sources
and spectrum analyzers have higher phase noise than
the LTC6952 and will degrade measurement results.
To measure phase noise performance it is recom-
mended to use a low jitter oscillator and a signal source
analyzer, such as Keysight’s (previously Agilent/HP)
E5052.
3. Contact the factory for further troubleshooting.

DC2609A RECONFIGURATION
The following covers the hardware reconfiguration of the
DC2609A. Refer to LTC6952Wizard and the LTC6952 data
sheet to better understand how to change programmed
parameters on the DC2609A.
LTC6952 3.3V POWER SUPPLY OPTIONS
Table 1 provides the 3.3V power supply options for
DC2609A. By default the DC2609A is setup to use the
LDO only supply option. An alternative jumper select-
able supply option is provided that uses an LDO and
Silent Switcher supply. The LDO + Silent Switcher option
powers the higher current LTC6952 output supply pins
from an LTC Silent Switcher, such as the LT8609S. The
LTC Silent Switcher improves the power efficiency over
the low noise LDO. A low noise LDO is required on the
LTC6952’s VVCO+and VREF+supply pins for acceptable
in-band performance.
Table 1. Power Supply Options
Jumper Settings
Default Option JP4 JP6 JP7
X LDO Only 2-3 1-2 2-3
LDO + Silent Switcher 1-2 1-2 1-2
VCO SMA: INPUT TERMINATION OPTIONS
Table 2 provides the single-ended and differential SMA
input termination options. By default the DC2609A is
setup for onboard VCO input and does not use the J28
and J29 SMAs.

LTC6952 6952SET FILES
The LTC6952Wizard provides a 6952set file for all
LTC6952 data sheet application examples and typical
application circuits. After loading a 6952 set file a pop-up
window will detail any user actions and board modifica-
tions required for the selected file.
SYNC OPTIONS
The LTC6952 data sheet describes several synchroniza-
tion modes. After selecting the desired synchronization
mode, refer to Table 3 to identify the required DC2609A
board modifications. Refer to the LTC6952 data sheet for
SYNC timing and level requirements.
CML OUTPUTS, OUT[10:0]
The DC2609A has 11 CML outputs. OUT[9:0] have match-
ing trace lengths, which are optimized for skew measure-
ments. OUT10’s trace lengths are longer than the other
outputs traces due to the shape of the DC2609A.
Six of these outputs are AC-coupled and brought out to
SMAs (OUT9, OUT8, OUT5, OUT4, OUT1, and OUT0). To
drive 50Ω impedance instruments connect OUTx+to the
instrument and OUTx–to a 50Ω termination, or vice versa.
The remaining five outputs (OUT10, OUT7, OUT6, OUT3,
and OUT2) are terminated with a 100Ω resistor onboard.
To connect these outputs to a 50Ω instrument, remove
the 100Ω termination, and install the appropriate SMAs
and AC blocking capacitors.
Refer to LTC6952 data sheet for differential termination
options.

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
Note: The buffers shown on sheet 2 of 4 of the schematic are used to protect the LTC6952 when connected to the DC2026 before the LTC6952 is powered
up. There is no need for such circuitry if the SPI bus is not active before powering up the LTC6952. The EEPROM is for identification and is not needed to
program the LTC6952.
