Figure 1. EVM Connection Diagram
2.2
Power Supply
Apply 5-V to Vcc_5V SMA connector. The on-board VCO and the optional op-amp require 5-V supply
while the on-board XO and LMX2492 need 3.3-V supply. The on-board LDO regulates 5-V down to 3.3-V.
Never apply more than 6-V to Vcc_5V SMA connector or otherwise the LDO will be damaged. The total
current consumption of the board is about 240 mA.
2.3
Reference Clock
By default, the board is operated with the on-board 100-MHz CMOS XO. If required, the board can be
modified to operate with an external clock source. In this case, apply a single-ended clock to the OSCin
SMA connector or apply a differential clock to both OSCin and OSCin* SMA connectors. See Appendix B
for details.
2.4
RF Output
Connect RFout/2 SMA connector to a spectrum analyzer or a signal analyzer. By default, the output signal
frequency is 4.8 GHz and the amplitude is about –3 dBm. Because the frequency accuracy of the onboard XO is 25 ppm, RF output frequency may also be off by 25 ppm. The phase noise of the XO is not
bad but not excellent, as a result, RF output phase noise may not look very good.
2.5
Programming
Connect the uWire header to a PC using the USB2ANY module. The firmware of the USB2ANY may not
be up-to-date. In this case, follow the procedures outlined in Appendix A to get it updated.
2.6
Evaluation Software
Download and install TICS Pro to a PC. Run the software and follow the following steps to get started.
1. Go to "Select Device" → "PLL" → LMX2492

The MUXout pin is not connected to the uWire header but is used as the lock detect indicator. Other IO
pins, such as TRIG1, TRIG2 and MOD are connected to the uWire header. They could be used as the
input trigger sources or output flag indicators during frequency ramping.

Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) Example
FSK operation requires an external input trigger signal at either MOD, TRIG1 or TRIG2 pin. In this
example, MOD pin is selected as the Trigger A source. A 20 kHz square-wave clock will be applied to
MOD pin to toggle the RF output to switch between 9600 MHz and 9604 MHz. That is, FSK deviation is 4
MHz.

Troubleshooting Guide
If the EVM does not work as expected, use the following chart to identify potential root causes. Couples of
thing to note:
• Make modifications to the EVM or change the default settings until AFTER it is verified to be working.
• Register readback requires the correct hardware and software setup. See Section 3.2.4 for details.
• The POR current of the LMX2492EVM is approximately 175 mA.
• The powerdown current of the LMX2492EVM is approximately 175 mA.
