SNAS785C – NOVEMBER 2019 – REVISED OCTOBER 2021
LMX2694-EP 15-GHz Wideband PLLatinum™ RF Synthesizer With Phase
Synchronization
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
The LMX2694-EP device is a high-performance,
wideband phase-locked loop (PLL) with an integrated
voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and voltage
regulators that can output any frequency between
39.3 MHz and 15.1 GHz without a doubler, eliminating
the need for ½ harmonic filters. The VCO on this
device covers an entire octave to complete the
frequency coverage down to 39.3 MHz. The highperformance PLL, with a –236-dBc/Hz figure of merit
and high-phase detector frequency, can achieve very
low in-band noise and integrated jitter.

39.3-MHz to 15.1-GHz output frequency
–110 dBc/Hz phase noise at 100-kHz offset with
15-GHz carrier
54-fs RMS jitter at 8 GHz (100 Hz to 100 MHz)
Programmable output power
PLL key specifications
– Figure of merit: –236 dBc/Hz
– Normalized 1/f noise: –129 dBc/Hz
– Up to 200-MHz phase detector frequency
Synchronization of output phase across multiple
devices
Support for SYSREF with 9-ps resolution
programmable delay
3.3-V single power supply operation
Operating temperature range: –55°C to 125°C
The LMX2694-EP allows designers to synchronize
the output of multiple instances of the device. This
means that deterministic phase can be obtained
from a device in any use case, including one with
the fractional engine or output divider enabled. The
device also allows designers to generate or repeat
SYSREF (compliant to JESD204B standard) to use
the device as a low-noise clock source for high-speed
data converters.

Single ended output power obtained after de-embedding microstrip trace losses and matching with a manual tuner. Unused port
terminated to 50-Ω load.
Output power, spurs, and harmonics can vary based on board layout and components.
Single-ended AC coupled sine wave input with complementary side AC coupled to ground with 50-Ω resistor.
For lower VCO frequencies, the N divider minimum value can limit the phase-detector frequency.
The PLL noise contribution is measured using a clean reference and a wide loop bandwidth and is composed into flicker and flat
components. PLL_flat = PLL_FOM + 20 x log(fVCO/fPD) + 10 x log(fPD/1 Hz). PLL_flicker (offset) = PLL_1/f + 20 x log(fVCO/1 GHz) - 10
x log(offset/10 kHz). Once these two components are found, the total PLL noise can be calculated as PLL_Noise = 10 x log(10PLL_Flat/
10 + 10PLL_flicker/10).

There are several other considerations for writing on the SPI:
• The R/W bit must be set to 0.
• The data on SDI pin is clocked into a shift register on each rising edge on the SCK pin.
• The CS# must be held low for data to be clocked. Device will ignore clock pulses if CS# is held high.
• The CS# transition from high to low must occur when SCK is low.
• When SCK and SDI lines are shared between devices, TI recommends to hold the CS# line high on the
device that is not to be clocked.

Figure 6-3. Serial Data Readback Timing Diagram
There are several other considerations for SPI readback:
• The R/W bit must be set to 1.
• The MUXOUT pin will always be low for the address portion of the transaction.
• The data on MUXOUT becomes available momentarily after the falling edge of SCK, and therefore, should be
read back on the rising edge of SCK.
• The data portion of the transition on the SDI line is always ignored.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LMX2694-EP is a high-performance, wideband frequency synthesizer with an integrated VCO and output
divider. The VCO operates from 7550 to 15100 MHz, and can be combined with the output divider to produce
any frequency in the range of 39.3 MHz to 15.1 GHz. There are two dividers within the input path.
The PLL is fractional-N PLL with a programmable delta-sigma modulator up to the 3rd order. The fractional
denominator is a programmable 32-bit long that can provide fine frequency steps easily below 1-Hz resolution,
as well as be used to do exact fractions like 1/3, 7/1000, and so on.
For applications where deterministic or adjustable phase is desired, the SYNC pin can be used to get the phase
relationship between the OSCIN and RFOUTx pins deterministic. Once this is done, the phase can be adjusted
in very fine steps of the VCO period divided by the fractional denominator.
The ultra-fast VCO calibration is designed for applications where the frequency must be swept or abruptly
changed. The frequency can be manually programmed.
For JESD204B support, the RFOUTB output can be used as a differential SYSREF output that can be either
a single pulse or a series of pulses that occur at a programmable distance away from the rising edges of the
output signal.
The LMX2694-EP device requires only a single 3.3-V power supply. The internal power supplies are provided by
integrated LDOs, eliminating the need for high-performance external LDOs.
Table 7-1 shows the range of several of the doubler, dividers, and fractional settings.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Reference Oscillator Input
The OSCIN pins are used as a frequency reference input to the device. The input is high impedance and
requires AC-coupling caps at the pin. The OSCIN pins can be driven single-ended with a CMOS clock or
XO. Differential clock input is also supported, making it easier to interface with high-performance system clock
devices such as TI’s LMK series clock devices. As the OSCIN signal is used as a clock for the VCO calibration,
a proper reference signal must be applied at the OSCIN pin at the time of programming FCAL_EN.
7.3.2 Reference Path
The reference path consists of an OSCIN doubler (OSC_2X), Pre-R divider, and a Post-R divider.

Figure 7-1. Reference Path Diagram
The OSCIN doubler (OSC_2X) can double up low OSCIN frequencies. Pre-R (PLL_R_PRE) and Post-R
(PLL_R) dividers both divide frequency down. Use Equation 1 to calculate the phase detector frequency, fPD:
fPD = fOSC × OSC_2X / (PLL_R_PRE × PLL_R)
•
•
(1)
If the OSCIN doubler is used, the OSCIN signal should have a 50% duty cycle as both the rising and falling
edges are used.
If the OSCIN doubler is not used, only rising edges of the OSCIN signal are used and duty cycle is not
critical.
7.3.2.1 OSCIN Doubler (OSC_2X)
The OSCIN doubler allows the user to double the input reference frequency at up to 400 MHz, while adding
minimal noise. It may be advantageous to use the doubler to go higher than the maximum phase detector
frequency in some situations, because the Pre-R divider may be able to divide down this frequency to a phase
detector frequency that is advantageous for fractional spurs.
7.3.2.2 Pre-R Divider (PLL_R_PRE)
The Pre-R divider is useful for reducing the input frequency to help meet the maximum 250-MHz input frequency
limitation to the PLL-R divider. Otherwise, it does not have to be used.
7.3.2.3 Post-R Divider (PLL_R)
The Post-R divider can be used to further divide down the frequency to the phase detector frequency. When
PLL_R > 1, the input frequency to this divider is limited to 250 MHz.

7.3.3 State Machine Clock
The state machine clock is a divided-down version of the OSCIN signal that is used internally in the device.
This divide value 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 and is determined by CAL_CLK_DIV programming word (described in the
Programming section). This state machine clock impacts various features like the VCO calibration. The state
machine clock is calculated as fSM = fOSC / 2CAL_CLK_DIV.
7.3.4 PLL Phase Detector and Charge Pump
The phase detector compares the outputs of the Post-R divider and N divider, and will generate a correction
current corresponding to the phase error until the two signals are aligned in-phase. This charge-pump current is
software-programmable to many different levels, which allows the user to modify the closed-loop bandwidth of
the PLL.
7.3.5 N Divider and Fractional Circuitry
The N divider includes fractional compensation that can achieve any fractional denominator from 1 to (232 – 1).
The integer portion of N is the whole part of the N divider value, while the fractional portion (Nfrac = NUM / DEN)
is the remaining fraction. In general, the total N divider value is determined by N + NUM / DEN. The N, NUM and
DEN are software-programmable. The higher the denominator, the finer the resolution step of the output. For
example, even when using fPD = 200 MHz, the output can increment in steps of 200 MHz / ( 232 – 1) = 0.047 Hz.
Equation 2 shows the relationship between the phase detector and VCO frequencies. Note that in SYNC mode,
there is an extra divider that is not shown in Equation 2.
fVCO = fPD × [N + NUM/DEN]
(2)
The sigma-delta modulator that controls this fractional division is also programmable from integer mode to the
third order. To make the fractional spurs consistent, the modulator is reset any time that the R0 register is
programmed.
The N divider has minimum value restrictions based on the modulator order (MASH_ORDER) and VCO
frequency. Furthermore, the PFD_DLY_SEL bit must be programmed in accordance to Table 7-2. IncludedDivide
may be larger than one in SYNC mode. In all other modes, IncludedDivide is just one.

7.3.6 MUXOUT Pin
The MUXOUT pin can be configured as either a lock detect indicator for the PLL or as a serial data output for the
SPI interface to read back registers. Field MUXOUT_LD_SEL (register R0[2]) configures this output.

Serial data output for readback

Lock detect indicator
When the lock detect indicator is selected, there are two types of indicators that can be selected with the field
LD_TYPE (register R59[0]). The first indicator is called “VCOCal” (LD_TYPE = 0), and the second indicator is
called “Vtune and VCOCal” (LD_TYPE = 1).
7.3.6.1 Serial Data Output for Readback
In this mode, the MUXOUT pin can be used as a the serial data output of the SPI interface. This output cannot
be in a tri-state condition, therefore no line sharing is possible. Details of this pin operation are described in
Timing Requirements. Readback is very useful when a device is used in full-assist mode, because the VCO
calibration data are retrieved and saved for future use. It can also be used to read back the lock detect status
using the field rb_LD_VTUNE(register R110[10:9]).
7.3.6.2 Lock Detect Indicator Set as Type “VCOCal”
In this mode, the MUXOUT pin will be low when the VCO is calibrating or when the lock detect delay timer is
running. Otherwise, the MUXOUT will be high. The programmable timer (LD_DLY, register R60[15:0]) adds an
additional delay after the VCO calibration finishes and before the lock detect indicator is asserted high. LD_DLY
is a 16-bit unsigned quantity that corresponds to the 4 times the number of phase detector cycles in absolute
delay. For example, a phase detector frequency of 100 MHz and the LD_DLY = 10000 will add a delay of 400
µs before the indicator is asserted. This indicator will remain in its current state (high or low) until register R0 is
programmed with FCAL_EN = 1 with a valid input reference. In other words, if the PLL goes out of lock or the
input reference goes away when the current state is high, then the current state will remain high.
7.3.6.3 Lock Detect Indicator Set as Type “Vtune and VCOCal”
In this mode the MUXOUT pin will be high when the VCO calibration has finished, the lock detect delay timer is
finished running, and the PLL is locked. This indicator may remain in its current state (high or low) if the OSCin
signal is lost. The true status of the indicator will be updated and resume its operation only when a valid input
reference to the OSCin pin is returned. An alternative method to monitor the OSCin of the PLL is recommended.
This indicator is reliable as long as the reference to OSCin is present.
The output of the device can be automatically muted when lock detect indicator “Vtune and VCOCal” is low. This
feature is enabled with the field OUT_MUTE (register R0[9]) asserted.
7.3.7 VCO (Voltage-Controlled Oscillator)
The LMX2694-EP includes a fully integrated VCO. The VCO takes the voltage from the loop filter and converts
this into a frequency. The VCO frequency is related to the other frequencies and as follows:
fVCO = fPD × N divider × IncludedDivide
(3)
7.3.7.1 VCO Calibration
To reduce the VCO tuning gain, and therefore improve the VCO phase-noise performance, the VCO frequency
range is divided into several different frequency bands. The entire range (7550 to 15100 MHz) covers an octave
that allows the divider to take care of frequencies below the lower bound. This creates the need for frequency
calibration to determine the correct frequency band given a desired output frequency. The frequency calibration
routine is activated any time that the R0 register is programmed with the FCAL_EN = 1. It is important that a
valid OSCIN signal must present before VCO calibration begins.
The VCO also has an internal amplitude calibration algorithm to optimize the phase noise, which is also
activated any time the R0 register is programmed.
The optimum internal settings for this are temperature-dependent. If the temperature is allowed to drift too much
without being recalibrated, some minor phase noise degradation could result. The maximum allowable drift for

device never loses lock if the device is operated under recommended operating conditions.
The LMX2694-EP allows the user to assist the VCO calibration. In general, there are three kinds of assistance,
as shown in Table 7-4.

For the no-assist method, just set VCO_SEL = 7 and this is done. For partial-assist, the VCO calibration speed
can be improved by changing the VCO_SEL bit according to frequency. Note that the frequency is not the actual
VCO core range, but actually favors choosing the VCO. This is not only optimal for VCO calibration speed, but
required for reliable locking.

For fastest calibration time, it is ideal to use the minimum VCO core as recommended in Table 7-5. The Table
7-6 shows typical VCO calibration times (in µs) for this choice in bold as well as showing how long the calibration
time is increased if a higher than necessary VCO core is chosen. Realize that these calibration times are specific
to these fOSC and fPD conditions specified and at the boundary of two cores, sometimes the calibration time can
be increased.

The channel divider is powered up whenever an output (OUTx_MUX) is selected to the channel divider or
SYSREF, regardless of whether it is powered down or not. When an output is not used, TI recommends
selecting the VCO output to ensure that the channel divider is not unnecessarily powered up.

7.3.9 Output Buffer
The RF output buffer type is open-collector that requires an external pullup to VCC. This component may be
a 50-Ω resistor or an inductor. The inductor has less controlled impedance, but higher power. For the inductor
case, it is often helpful to follow this with a resistive pad. The output power can be programmed to various levels
or disabled while still keeping the PLL in lock.
Table 7-10. OUTx_PWR Recommendations
fOUT
RESTRICTIONS
COMMENTS
At lower frequencies, the output buffer impedance is high, so the 50-Ω
pullup will make the output impedance look somewhat like 50 Ω.
10 MHz ≤ fOUT ≤ 5 GHz
None
5 GHz ≤ fOUT ≤ 10 GHz
OUTx_PWR ≤ 31
In this range, parasitic inductances have some impact, so the output setting
is restricted.
10 GHz < fOUT
OUTx_PWR ≤ 20
At these higher frequency ranges, it is best to keep below 20 for highest
power and optimal noise floor.
7.3.10 Powerdown Modes
The LMX2694-EP can be powered up and down using the CE pin or the POWERDOWN bit. When the device
comes out of the powered-down state, either by resuming the POWERDOWN bit to zero or by pulling back CE
pin HIGH (if it was powered down by CE pin), register R0 must be programmed with FCAL_EN high again to
recalibrate the device.
7.3.11 Treatment of Unused Pins
This device has several pins for many features and there is a preferred way to treat these pins if not needed. For
the input pins, a series resistor is recommend, but they can be directly shorted.

7.3.12 Phase Synchronization
7.3.12.1 General Concept
The SYNC pin allows the user to synchronize the LMX2694-EP such that the delay from the rising edge of
the OSCIN signal to the output signal is deterministic. Initially, the devices are locked to the input, but are
not synchronized. The user sends a synchronization pulse that is reclocked to the next rising edge of the
OSCIN pulse. After a given time, t1, the phase relationship from OSCIN to fOUT will be deterministic. This
time is dominated by the sum of the VCO calibration time, the analog setting time of the PLL loop, and the
MASH_RST_CNT if used in fractional mode.

7.3.12.2 Categories of Applications for SYNC
The requirements for SYNC depend on certain setup conditions. In cases that the SYNC is not timing critical, it
can be done through software by toggling the VCO_PHASE_SYNC bit from 0 to 1. Figure 7-5 gives the different
categories. When it is timing critical, then it must be done through the pin and the setup and hold times for the
OSCIN pin are critical. For timing critical SYNC (Category 3 only), adhere to the following guidelines.

7.3.12.3 Procedure for Using SYNC
This procedure must be used to put the device in SYNC mode.
1. Use the flowchart to determine the SYNC category.
2. Make determinations for OSCIN and using SYNC based on the category.
a. If category 4, SYNC cannot be performed in this setup.
b. If category 3, ensure that the maximum fOSC frequency for SYNC is not violated and there are hardware
accommodations to use the SYNC pin.
3. If the channel divide is used, determine the included channel divide value which will be 2 × SEG1 of the
channel divide.
a. If OUTA_MUX is not channel divider and OUTB_MUX is not channel divider or SYSREF, then
IncludedDivide = 1.

b. Otherwise, IncludedDivide = 2 × SEG1. In the case that the channel divider is 2, then IncludedDivide =
4.
4. If not done already, divide the N divider and fractional values by the included channel divide to account for
the included channel divide.
5. Program the device with the VCO_PHASE_SYNC = 1. Note that this does not count as applying a SYNC to
device (for category 2).
6. Apply the SYNC, if required.
a. If category 2, VCO_PHASE_SYNC can be toggled from 0 to 1. Alternatively, a rising edge can be sent to
the SYNC pin and the timing of this is not critical.
b. If category 3, the SYNC pin must be used, and the timing must be away from the rising edge of the
OSCIN signal.
7.3.12.4 SYNC Input Pin
If not using SYNC mode (VCO_PHASE_SYNC = 0), the INPIN_IGNORE bit must be set to one, otherwise
it causes issues with lock detect. If the pin is desired for to be used and VCO_PHASE_SYNC = 1, then set
INPIN_IGNORE = 0.
7.3.13 Phase Adjust
The MASH_SEED word can use the sigma-delta modulator to shift output signal phase with respect to the input
reference. If a SYNC pulse is sent (software or pin) or the MASH is reset with MASH_RST_N, then this phase
shift is from the initial phase of zero. If the MASH_SEED word is written to, then this phase is added. The phase
shift is calculated as below.
Phase shift in degrees = 360 × (MASH_SEED / PLL_DEN) × (IncludedDivide / CHDIV)
(5)
For example:
MASH_SEED = 1; PLL_DEN = 12; CHDIV = 16
If VCO_PHASE_SYNC = 0, Phase shift = 360 × (1 / 12) × (1 / 16) = 1.875 degrees.
If VCO_PHASE_SYNC = 1, Phase shift = 360 × (1 / 12) × (4 / 16) = 7.5 degrees.
There are several considerations when using MASH_SEED.
• Phase shift can be done with a PLL_NUM = 0, but MASH_ORDER must be greater than zero. For
MASH_ORDER = 1, the phase shifting only occurs when MASH_SEED is a multiple of PLL_DEN.
• For the 2nd order modulator, PLL_N ≥ 45. For the 3rd order modulator, PLL_N ≥ 49.
When using MASH_SEED in the case where IncludedDivide > 1, there are several additional considerations in
order to get the phase shift to be monotonically increasing with MASH_SEED.
• TI recommends to use MASH_ORDER ≤ 2.
• When using the 2nd order modulator for VCO frequencies below 10 GHz (when IncludedDivide = 6) or 9
GHz (when IncludedDivide = 4), it may be necessary to increase the PLL_N value much higher or change to
the 1st order modulator. When this is necessary depends on the VCO frequency, IncludedDivide, and PLL_N
value.
7.3.14 Fine Adjustments for Phase Adjust and Phase SYNC
Phase SYNC refers to the process of getting the same phase relationship for every power up cycle and each
time assuming that a given programming procedure is followed. However, there are some adjustments that can
be made to get the most accurate results. As for the consistency of the phase SYNC, the only source of variation
could be if the VCO calibration chooses a different VCO core and capacitor, which can introduce a bimodal
distribution with about 10 ps of variation. If this 10 ps is not desirable, then it can be eliminated by reading back
the VCO core, capcode, and DACISET values and forcing these values to ensure the same calibration settings
every time. The delay through the device varies from part to part and can be on the order of 60 ps. This part
to part variation can be calibrated out with the MASH_SEED. The variation in delay through the device also
changes on the order of +2.5 ps/°C, but devices on the same board likely have similar temperatures, so this will
somewhat track. In summary, the device can be made to have consistent delay through the part and there are

means to adjust out any remaining errors with the MASH_SEED. This tends only to be an issue at higher output
frequencies when the period is shorter.
7.3.15 SYSREF
The LMX2694-EP can generate a SYSREF output signal that is synchronized to fOUT with a programmable
delay. This output can be a single pulse, series of pulses, or a continuous stream of pulses. To use the SYSREF
capability, the PLL must first be placed in SYNC mode with VCO_PHASE_SYNC = 1.

To use SYSREF, do the these steps:
1. Put the device in SYNC mode using the procedure already outlined.
2. Figure out IncludedDivide the same way it is done for SYNC mode.
3. Calculate the SYSREF_DIV_PRE value such that the interpolator frequency (fINTERPOLATOR) is in the range
of 800 to 1500 MHz. fINTERPOLATOR = fVCO / IncludedDivide / SYSREF_DIV_PRE. Make this frequency a
multiple of fOSC if possible.
4. If using master mode (SYSREF_REPEAT = 0), ensure SYSREFREQ pin is high.
5. If using repeater mode (SYSREF_REPEAT = 1), set up the pulse count if desired. Pulses are created by
toggling the SYSREFREQ pin.
6. Adjust the delay between the RFOUTA and RFOUTB signal using the JESD_DACx_CTRL fields.

RESET
Registers are held in their reset state. This device does have a
power-on reset, but it is good practice to also do a software reset if
there is any possibility of noise on the programming lines, especially
if there is sharing with other devices. Also realize that there are
registers not disclosed in the data sheet that are reset as well.

This is used with at least one output on as a frequency synthesizer

This is used where part of the channel divider is in the feedback path

to ensure deterministic phase.
In this mode, RFOUTB is used to generate pulses for SYSREF.
VCO_PHASE_SYNC =1
SYSREF_EN = 1
7.5 Programming
The LMX2694-EP is programmed using 24-bit shift registers. The shift register consists of a R/W bit (MSB),
followed by a 7-bit address field and a 16-bit data field. For the R/W bit, 0 is for write, and 1 is for read. The
address field ADDRESS[6:0] is used to decode the internal register address. The remaining 16 bits form the data
field DATA[15:0]. While CS# is low, serial data is clocked into the shift register upon the rising edge of clock (data
is programmed MSB first). When CS# goes high, data is transferred from the data field into the selected register
bank. See Figure 6-2 for timing details.
7.5.1 Recommended Initial Power-Up Sequence
For the most reliable programming, TI recommends this procedure:
1. Apply power to device.
2. Program RESET = 1 to reset registers.
3. Program RESET = 0 to remove reset.
4. Program registers as shown in the register map in REVERSE order from highest to lowest.
5. Programming of registers R113 down to R79 is not required, but if they are programmed, they should be
done so as the register map shows. Programming of registers R79 down to R0 is required. Registers in this
range that only 1's and 0's should also be programmed in accordance to the register map. Do NOT assume
that the power-on reset state and the recommended value are the same.
6. Wait 10 ms.
7. Program register R0 one additional time with FCAL_EN = 1 to ensure that the VCO calibration runs from a
stable state.
7.5.2 Recommended Sequence for Changing Frequencies
The recommended sequence for changing frequencies is as follows:
1. Change the N-divider value.
2. Program the PLL numerator and denominator.
3. Program FCAL_EN (R0[3]) = 1.

8 Application and Implementation
Note
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification,
and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for
determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
8.1.1 OSCIN Configuration
OSCIN supports single or differential-ended clock. There must be a AC-coupling capacitor in series before the
device pin. The OSCIN inputs are high-impedance CMOS with internal bias voltage. TI recommends putting
termination shunt resistors to terminate the differential traces (if there are 50-Ω characteristic traces, place 50-Ω
resistors). The OSCIN_P and OSCIN_N side must be matched in layout. A series AC-coupling capacitors must
immediately follow OSCIN pins in the board layout, then the shunt termination resistors to ground must be
placed after.
Input clock definitions are shown in Figure 8-1.

8.1.2 OSCIN Slew Rate
The slew rate of the OSCIN signal can have an impact on the spurs and phase noise of the LMX2694-EP if it is
too low. In general, the best performance is for a high slew rate, but lower amplitude signal, such as LVDS.
8.1.3 RF Output Buffer Power Control
The OUTA_PWR and OUTB_PWR registers control the amount of drive current for the output. This current
creates a voltage across the pullup component and load. TI generally recommends to keep the OUTx_PWR
setting at 31 or less, as higher settings consume more current consumption and can also lead to higher output
power. Optimal noise floor is typically obtained by setting OUTx_PWR in the range of 15 to 25.
8.1.4 RF Output Buffer Pullup
The choice of output buffer components is very important and can have a profound impact on the output power.
The pullup component can be a resistor or inductor or combination thereof. The signal swing is created by
a current flowing this pullup, so a higher impedance implies a higher signal swing. However, as this pullup
component can be treated as if it is in parallel with the load impedance, there are diminishing returns as the
impedance gets much larger than the load impedance. The output impedance of the device varies as a function
of frequency and is a complex number, but typically has a magnitude on the order of 100 Ω, but this decreases
with frequency.
The output can be used differentially or single-ended. If using single-ended, the pullup is still needed, and user
needs to terminate the unused complimentary side such that the impedance as seen from the pin looking out is
similar to the pin that is being used. Following are some typical components that might be useful.

8.1.4.1 Resistor Pullup
One strategy for the choice of the pullup component is to use a resistor (R). This is typically chosen to be 50-Ω
and under the assumption that the part output impedance is high, then the output impedance will theoretically be
50 Ω, regardless of output frequency. As the output impedance of the device is not infinite, the output impedance
when the pullup resistor is used will be less than 50 Ω, but will be reasonably close. There will be some drop
across the resistor, but this does not seem to have a large impact on signal swing for a 50-Ω resistor provided
that OUTx_PWR ≤ 31.
+vcc

C
RFOUTA_P
Figure 8-2. Resistor Pullup
8.1.4.2 Inductor Pullup
Another strategy is to choose an inductor pullup (L). This allows a higher impedance without any concern of
creating any DC drop across the component. Ideally, the inductor should be chosen large enough so that the
impedance is high relative to the load impedance and also be operating away from its self-resonant frequency.
For instance, consider a 3.3-nH pullup inductor with a self-resonant frequency of 7 GHz driving a 25-Ω spectrum
analyzer input. This inductor theoretically has j50-Ω input impedance around 2.4 GHz. At this frequency, this in
parallel with load is about j35-Ω, which is a 3-dB power reduction. At 1.4 GHz, this inductor has impedance of
about 29 Ω. This in parallel with the 50-Ω load has a magnitude of 25 Ω, which is the same result seen with the
50-Ω pullup. The main issue with the inductor pullup is that the impedance does not look nicely matched to the
load.
+vcc
L
C
RFOUTA_P
Figure 8-3. Inductor Pullup
As the output impedance is not so nicely matched, but there is higher output power, it makes sense to use a
resistive pad to get the best impedance control. A 6-dB pad (R1 = 18 Ω, R2 = 68 Ω) is likely more attenuation
than necessary. A 3-dB or even 1-dB pad might suffice. Two AC-coupling capacitors are required before the pad.
In Figure 8-4, one of them is placed by the resistor to ground to minimize the number of components in the high
frequency path for lower loss.

8.1.4.3 Combination Pullup
The resistor gives a good low frequency response, while the inductor gives a good high frequency response with
worse matching. It is desirable to have the impedance of the pullup to be high, but if a resistor is used, then there
could be too much DC drop. If an inductor is used, it is hard to find one good at low frequencies and around
its self-resonant frequency. One approach to address this is to use a series resistor and inductor followed by
resistive pad.

8.1.5.1 Single-Ended Termination of Unused Output
The unused output should see a roughly the same impedance as looking out of the pin to minimize harmonics
and get the best output power. As placement of the pull-up components is critical for the best output power, the
routing does not need to be perfectly symmetrical. It makes sense to give highest priority routing to the used
output (RFOUTA_P in this case).

8.1.6 External Loop Filter
The LMX2694-EP requires an external loop filter that is application-specific and can be configured by PLLatinum
Sim. For the LMX2694-EP, it matters what impedance is seen from the VTUNE pin looking outwards. This
impedance is dominated by the component C3 for a third order filter or C1 for a second order filter. If there is at
least 1.5 nF for the capacitance that is shunt with this pin, the VCO phase noise will be close to the best it can
be. If there is less, the VCO phase noise in the 100-kHz to 1-MHz region will degrade. This capacitor should be
placed close to the VTUNE pin.

8.2.1 Design Requirements
The design of the loop filter is complex and is typically done with software. The PLLatinum Sim software is an
excellent resource for doing this and the design is shown in Figure 8-10.
Figure 8-10. PLLatinum Sim Tool
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The integration of phase noise over a certain bandwidth (jitter) is an performance specification that translates
to signal-to-noise ratio. Phase noise inside the loop bandwidth is dominated by the PLL, while the phase noise
outside the loop bandwidth is dominated by the VCO. Generally, jitter is lowest if loop bandwidth is designed
to the point where the two intersect. A higher phase margin loop filter design has less peaking at the loop
bandwidth and thus lower jitter. The tradeoff with this is that longer lock times and spurs must be considered in
design as well.
8.2.3 Application Curve
Using the settings described, the performance measured using a clean 100-MHz input reference is shown. Note
the loop bandwidth is about 350 kHz, as simulations predict.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
TI recommends placement of bypass capacitors close to the pins. Consult the EVM instructions for layout
examples. If fractional spurs are a large concern, using a ferrite bead to each of these power supply pins can
reduce spurs to a small degree. This device has integrated LDOs, which improves the resistance to power
supply noise. However, the pullup components on the RFOUTA and RFOUTB pins on the outputs have a direct
connection to the power supply, so take extra care to ensure that the voltage is clean for these pins.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
In general, the layout guidelines are similar to most other PLL devices. Here are some specific guidelines.
• GND pins may be routed on the package back to the DAP.
• The OSCIN pins, these are internally biased and must be AC coupled.
• If not used, the SYSREFREQ may be grounded to the DAP.
• For optimal VCO phase noise in the 200 kHz to 1 MHz range, it is ideal that the capacitor closest to the
VTUNE pin be at least 3.3 nF. As requiring this larger capacitor may restrict the loop bandwidth, this value
can be reduced (to say 1.5 nF) at the expense of VCO phase noise.
• For the outputs, keep the pullup component as close as possible to the pin and use the same component on
each side of the differential pair.
• If a single-ended output is needed, the other side must have the same loading and pullup. However, the
routing for the used side can be optimized by routing the complementary side through a via to the other side
of the board. On this side, use the same pullup and make the load look equivalent to the side that is used.
• Ensure DAP on device is well-grounded with many vias, preferably copper filled.
• Have a thermal pad that is as large as the LMX2694-EP exposed pad. Add vias to the thermal pad to
maximize thermal performance.
• Use a low loss dielectric material, such as Rogers 4350B, for optimal output power.
10.2 Layout Example
In addition to the layout guidelines already given, here are some additional comments for this specific layout
example.
• The most critical part of the layout that the placement of the pull-up components (R19, R20, R21, and R22) is
close to the pin for optimal output power.
• For this layout, all of the loop filter (C1LF, C2LF, C3LF, C4LF, R2LF, R3LF, and R4LF) are on the back side of
the board. C4LF is located right underneath to the VTUNE pin. In the event that this C4LF capacitor would be
open, it is recommended to move one of loop capacitors in this spot. For instance, if a 3rd order loop filter was
used, technically C3LF would be non-zero and C4LF would be open. However, for this layout example that is
designed for a 4th order loop filter, it would be optimal to make R3LF = 0 Ω, C3LF = open, and C4LF to be
whatever C3LF would have been.
