DESCRIPTION
Fig. 1. Functional Block Diagram
The temperature stable ASNT5144-KHC SiGe IC provides broadband frequency multiplication, and is
intended for use in high-speed measurement / test equipment. The IC shown in Fig. 1 can receive a highspeed clock input signal ip/in, and deliver a high-speed double-frequency clock output signal outp/outn.
There are two duty cycle correction feedback loops. The first loop adjusts the duty cycle of the input
signal, and the second loop controls the final output signal duty cycle. Activation of the loops is
controlled via the onfb control port as shown in Table 1.

When both feedback loops are activated, the output clock’s duty cycle is automatically kept at about 50%.
To ensure correct operation of the feedback block within a wide range of frequencies, the optional control
port crl can be set to vee/vcc/nc according to Table 2. The duty cycle may also be adjusted manually via
tuning ports icntp/icntn when feedback is turned off.

The part’s I/O’s support the CML logic interface with on chip 50Ohm termination to vcc, and may be
used differentially, AC/DC coupled, single-ended, or in any combination (also see POWER SUPPLY
CONFIGURATION). In the DC-coupling mode, the input signal’s common mode voltage should comply
with the specifications shown in ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS. In the AC-coupling mode, the
input termination provides the required common mode voltage automatically. The differential DC
signaling mode is recommended for optimal performance.

POWER SUPPLY CONFIGURATION
The part can operate with either a negative supply (vcc = 0.0V = ground and vee = −3.3V), or a positive
supply (vcc = +3.3V and vee = 0.0V = ground). In case of the positive supply, all I/Os need AC
termination when connected to any devices with 50Ohm termination to ground. Different PCB layouts
will be needed for each different power supply combination.
All the characteristics detailed below assume vcc = 0.0V and vee = -3.3V.
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Caution: Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings shown in Table 3 may cause damage to this product
and/or lead to reduced reliability. Functional performance is specified over the recommended operating
conditions for power supply and temperature only. AC and DC device characteristics at or beyond the
absolute maximum ratings are not assumed or implied. All min and max voltage limits are referenced to
ground.

PACKAGE INFORMATION
The chip die is housed in a custom 24-pin CQFN package shown in Error! Reference source not found..
The package provides a center heat slug located on its back side to be used for heat dissipation.
ADSANTEC recommends for this section to be soldered to the vcc plain, which is ground for a negative
supply, or power for a positive supply.
