GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9520-x (hereafter referred to as AD9520) is a very low
noise PLL clock synthesizer featuring an integrated VCO, clock
dividers, and up to 24 outputs. The AD9520 features automatic
holdover and a flexible reference input circuit allowing for very
smooth reference clock switching. The AD9520 family also
features the necessary provisions for an external VCXO.
The AD9520 evaluation board is a compact, easy-to-use
platform for evaluating all features of the AD9520. This user
guide covers all six versions of the AD9520 family.
Although the Quick Start Guide to the AD9520 PLL section
applies specifically to the AD9520-4, increasing the N (feed-
back) divider and channel divider increases the VCO frequency
to the allowable frequency range of other AD9520 versions.
For the AD9520-5, which lacks the internal VCO, certain
portions of this user guide that apply to the internal VCO (such
as VCO calibration) can be ignored.
This document covers the AD9520 family. The
which is identical to the AD9520 except that it has LVDS
outputs, is covered in UG-077.
For convenience, detailed information from the AD9520 data
sheet has been included here. Use this user guide in conjunction
with the AD9520 and AD9522 data sheet and software
documentation available at www.analog.com.

... If the user wishes to connect a signal to REF2, connect that signal to the J13 SMA connector. DC-coupling is recommended in applications requiring automatic hitless reference switching. There is a possibility that the AD9520 receive buffer can chatter when an ac-coupled clock stops toggling. Connect an oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, or other lab equipment to any of the SMA connectors on the right side of the board ...

... EVALUATION SOFTWARE COMPONENTS MAIN WINDOW The AD9520 evaluation software is composed of subsections that correspond to the major functional blocks of the AD9520. These subsections are listed in the following sections, and each of these has its own window. From the main window, each functional block can be accessed by clicking that block in the main window ...

... There are many useful diagnostic signals available at these pins. The R divider output is particularly useful. In the example used in the Quick Start Guide to the AD9520 PLL section, the 80 kHz signal is visible on the STATUS pin to ensure that the reference inputs and R divider are working properly. ...

... The evaluation software automatically sets the VCO calibration now bit (Register 0x018[0]) in the .bin file if the PLL is turned on. If the VCO calibration now bit is not set, the AD9520 will be unable to lock the PLL after automatically loading the register values from the EEPROM without further user intervention. ...
