Quick-Start Operating Procedures
The TRF3765 evaluation module (EVM) is preconfigured to use a 3.3-Vdc power supply on TP2. The
supply must be capable of supplying 250 mA.
SPI communication is required for configuring the TRF3765 device. J7 accepts a mini-USB connector that
can be driven through the device graphical user interface (GUI).
Local oscillator (LO) outputs are available in four differential pairs on SMA coaxial connectors J1, J3-J6,
and J9-J11.
The following steps describe the EVM setup for basic operation with the default hardware configuration.
1. Connect the mini-USB connector. LED D1 draws power through the mini-USB connector and
illuminates immediately.
2. Power the device by supplying TP2 with 3.3 V. Use TP3 for the ground connection. Board revisions
prior to Revision D may require additional power supply connections.
3. Connect the LO output to measurement equipment.
4. Install and start the GUI software.
5. Initiate a communication link with the device by using the GUI Connect button. Follow on-screen
instructions to load a register configuration file. Select file TRF3765.FracMode.3p3Vtank.2600MHz.txt
for a fractional mode board and TRF3765.IntMode.3p3Vtank.2600MHz.txt for an integer mode board.
6. Verify lock-detect on LED D2 and the signal on measurement equipment. If D2 is not illuminated, no
signal is present or the signal is at the incorrect frequency. Check GUI settings on any of the High
Level tabs and recalibrate.
7. Using default hardware and configuration settings, fractional mode integrate phase noise is –47 dBc to
–48 dBc/Hz, whereas integer mode integrated phase is –44 dBc/Hz.

2.2
Power Supply
The TRF3765 uses three primary power supplies: VCC1, VCC2, and VCC3. In the default configuration,
VCC1 and VCC2 are connected onboard by R41 and VCC3 is unused. The entire board can be supplied
through 3.3 V on TP2 or Revision D boards. Earlier board revisions require multiple power connections.
A clean power supply is critical to optimal phase noise performance of the synthesizer. The impact of the
power supply is discussed in detail in the application report Supply Noise Effect on Oscillator Phase Noise
(SLWA066). Linear power supplies are the best sources available. Switching power supplies degrade inband phase noise by 10 dB compared to linear laboratory supplies. Onboard regulators U3 and U4 are
ultra-clean TPS74201 linear regulators that also provide excellent performance when they are driven by
most laboratory power supply equipment. These regulators provide performance comparable to a clean
linear supply. To use these regulated 3.3-V supplies, disconnect power from TP2 and remove R41.
Connect 5 V to TP26, using TP27 for ground. Place jumpers on JP4 and JP5 to shunt jumper pins 1 and
2.
VCC3 can be used to drive VCC_TK, a 3.3-V/5-V tolerant supply on the TRF3765. VCC_TK is normally
driven by the 3.3-V VCC2 supply, but some applications perform better with a 5-V supply on VCC_TK. To
use VCC3 to drive VCC_TK at 5 V, move FB2 onto FB11. Populate R12 with a short. Then drive VCC3
through TP5 with a clean linear laboratory supply at 5 V.
VCC3 can also be driven at 5 V by onboard regulator U5. However, this regulator is not as clean as a
linear laboratory supply, and some phase noise performance loss occurs. To use the VCC3 onboard 5-V
regulator, drive TP25 with 6 V using TP28 for ground and place a jumper on JP1 to shunt jumper pins 1
and 2.
The TRF3765EVM includes a power supply filter. This filter can be used to reduce in-band frequency
noise from a switching power supply so that an external supply can drive 5 V on VCC_TK. Phase noise
performance using a high-quality laboratory switching power supply to drive VCC3 through TP5 is similar
to performance measured using a linear supply. The filter is integrated on Rev. E and later boards. Rev. D
and earlier boards include an external filter that is equipped with BNC connectors for a convenient
connection with power supply banana jacks.
Each VCC pin on the TRF3765 connects to an individual test point. The test point may be used for
monitoring. Because each supply pin is isolated through a ferrite bead, by lifting the ferrite bead these test
points may also be used to drive single-device supply pins.
Spurs occurring in the LO signal at 60 kHz and 100 kHz offset from the carrier are usually the result of
ground loops in power supply cabling.
2.3
Loop Filter
Loop-filter components are also critical to optimal phase noise performance. The loop filter must be
matched to the selected phase frequency detector (PFD) frequency. TRF3765 boards are shipped with
components matched to the onboard reference clock and configuration file. However, to use a different
PFD frequency, the loop-filter components must be updated. The Loop Filter Design Tool available at
ti.com in the TRF3765EVM product folder is an intuitive software package that identifies proper
component values.
Loop filter reference designators are shown in Figure 1. The assembly layout of these components is
shown in a silkscreen blow-up on the EVM.

VTune may be monitored on TP12 without disrupting circuit operation, because R20 is a high-value
resistance. TP12 can also be used to drive VTune for open-loop VCO measurements when the TRF3765
charge pump is in 3-state logic. A 1-µF capacitor on C4 is also recommended for open-loop
measurements to help stabilize the applied voltage.
By default, reference is tied to ground through shorts on R13, R15, and R45, with R46 open.
2.4
SPI Communication
SPI communication from the TRF3765 GUI passes through mini-USB connector J7. The USB interface is
decoded and encoded by U2 into SPI lines DATA, STROBE, CLK, and RDBK. U2 is powered through the
USB connection instead of the board supply, and LED D1 indicates USB power is applied. Test points
TP6–TP10 can be used to monitor SPI communication with laboratory equipment. The laboratory
equipment must be set to high impedance so that it does not load the communication lines.
When the USB cable is disconnected, U2 I/Os are high impedance. In this case, TP6–TP10 can be used
to directly drive the SPI lines.
The power-on reset default register settings in the TRF3765 do not correspond to a valid operational state.
SPI initialization is required to operate the device. Once the registers have been initialized, the mini-USB
cable may be disconnected without disrupting device operation. However, once the mini-USB has been
reconnected, the link must be reestablished through the GUI Connect button on the Start Up tab. The link
exists between the GUI computer and U2, so loss of power to the TRF3765 device does not require
reestablishing the link. Loss of device power, however, does require re-initialization of the registers.
2.5
Reference Clock
An oscillator is installed on the TRF3765EVM to provide a reference clock to the device. JP2 installed
provides supply voltage to the oscillator, whereas JP3 installed connects the oscillator output to the
TRF3765. The oscillator frequency drifts over temperature and is not rated for the full TRF3765
temperature operating range, so temperature testing must use an external reference clock.
An external reference clock can be supplied through the SMA connector J8. When using an external
reference clock, remove jumpers on JP2 and JP3. The external reference is ac-coupled to the TRF3765
input pin. An external reference can also be used to frequency-lock the device to laboratory equipment.
Verify that any supplied reference clock has low phase noise.

Configuration Options
The TRF3765 evaluation module ships configured for either integer mode or fractional mode. Each
configuration is designed to use different reference and PFD frequencies and also has the corresponding
loop-filter components. Differences in integer mode and fractional mode boards are listed in Table 2.

This section provides troubleshooting sequences in Table 5 to resolve several of the most frequently
asked questions.
Table 5. Troubleshooting Sequences
Problem
Response
Verify that the loop filter components correspond to the programmed PFD frequency.
Check power on device pin test points: TP12. TP13.TP19-TP23
Verify that one refclk is applied, generated either onboard or offboard.
Registers 1 to 6 must be initialized. Reload the start-up macro. Execute VCO calibration after
initialization is complete.
Fractional mode operation must set LD_ANA_PREC* at low precision (1).
LD diode D2 won't light up
Verify GUI communication with the device. Readback value fields display nonzero hexadecimal
values after a register is written. The GUI Low Level display allows direct register readback.
Using the GUI Low Level tab, read registers. Verify that read ADDR bits are correct and that no N.U.
bits have been initialized. Reset the device by removing power if a faulty address has been sent to
the device or if any N.U. bits have been set.
Measure voltage on TP8. Multimeter measurements below 2 V but above 0.5 V indicate toggling LD.
Verify Cal_Clk frequency.
High Level tab readback is supported on GUI revision 6 or later. Low Level readback is supported on
all GUI releases.
No readback from registers
Prerelease device revisions may not support readback. Verify the device markings do not include a
P prefix on the first line.
On the GUI Start Up tab, Disconnect, verify that Simulate Connection is not selected, then Connect.
Verify that the buffer is configured to be powered on by reading back register 4 on the GUI Low
Level tab. 0 = on, and 1 = off.
No LO output
Verify that registers are successfully reading back from the device to confirm communication.
Check power on device pin test points: TP12, TP13, TP19-TP23
Verify that one refclk is applied, generated either onboard or offboard.
Remove any monitoring equipment from the VTune tap on TP12.
Spurs or unstable output
frequency
Verify that EN_DITH, EN_ISOURCE are set properly for integer or fractional mode. Verify
VCO_BIAS is set properly for the applied VCC_TK voltage level. In fractional mode, verify that
MOD_ORD is third (2) and DITH_SEL is Random (0).
Eliminate ground loops in power supplies.
Verify that the installed loop filter corresponds to the applied refclk and PFD frequency.
Poor phase noise
Verify that the power supply is clean and is not an unfiltered switching power supply.
Revert the board to shipping hardware configuration, load a factory-supplied, start-up file, and verify
phase noise against data sheet measurements.

EVALUATION BOARD/KIT/MODULE (EVM)
WARNINGS, RESTRICTIONS AND DISCLAIMERS
For Feasibility Evaluation Only, in Laboratory/Development Environments. Unless otherwise indicated, this EVM is not a finished
electrical equipment and not intended for consumer use. It is intended solely for use for preliminary feasibility evaluation in
laboratory/development environments by technically qualified electronics experts who are familiar with the dangers and application risks
associated with handling electrical mechanical components, systems and subsystems. It should not be used as all or part of a finished end
product.
Your Sole Responsibility and Risk. You acknowledge, represent and agree that:
1.
2.
3.
4.
You have unique knowledge concerning Federal, State and local regulatory requirements (including but not limited to Food and Drug
Administration regulations, if applicable) which relate to your products and which relate to your use (and/or that of your employees,
affiliates, contractors or designees) of the EVM for evaluation, testing and other purposes.
You have full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety and compliance of your products with all such laws and other applicable
regulatory requirements, and also to assure the safety of any activities to be conducted by you and/or your employees, affiliates,
contractors or designees, using the EVM. Further, you are responsible to assure that any interfaces (electronic and/or mechanical)
between the EVM and any human body are designed with suitable isolation and means to safely limit accessible leakage currents to
minimize the risk of electrical shock hazard.
You will employ reasonable safeguards to ensure that your use of the EVM will not result in any property damage, injury or death, even
if the EVM should fail to perform as described or expected.
You will take care of proper disposal and recycling of the EVM’s electronic components and packing materials.
Certain Instructions. It is important to operate this EVM within TI’s recommended specifications and environmental considerations per the
user guidelines. Exceeding the specified EVM ratings (including but not limited to input and output voltage, current, power, and
environmental ranges) may cause property damage, personal injury or death. If there are questions concerning these ratings please contact
a TI field representative prior to connecting interface electronics including input power and intended loads. Any loads applied outside of the
specified output range may result in unintended and/or inaccurate operation and/or possible permanent damage to the EVM and/or
interface electronics. Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the
load specification, please contact a TI field representative. During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures
greater than 60°C as long as the input and output are maintained at a normal ambient operating temperature. These components include
but are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors which can be identified using the
EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices during normal operation, please
be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch. As with all electronic evaluation tools, only qualified personnel knowledgeable
in electronic measurement and diagnostics normally found in development environments should use these EVMs.
Agreement to Defend, Indemnify and Hold Harmless. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold TI, its licensors and their representatives
harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses, costs and liabilities (collectively, "Claims") arising out of or in
connection with any use of the EVM that is not in accordance with the terms of the agreement. This obligation shall apply whether Claims
arise under law of tort or contract or any other legal theory, and even if the EVM fails to perform as described or expected.
Safety-Critical or Life-Critical Applications. If you intend to evaluate the components for possible use in safety critical applications (such
as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, such as devices
which are classified as FDA Class III or similar classification, then you must specifically notify TI of such intent and enter into a separate
Assurance and Indemnity Agreement.
