The EME193 PLL uses the ultra low noise LMX2541 PLLatinum frequency synthesizer from Texas Instruments. There are 6 different chip devices available that can be selected to cover most frequencies in a 31.6 to 4000MHz frequency range.  Refer to the LMX2541 Data Sheet on page 3 for the frequency ranges of the various devices available.   As with all PLL designs the phase noise is higher compared to using crystal locked oscillators, but the trade off is that it can be more easily locked to a reference clock for high stability. The design incorporates an Optional low phase noise Connor Winfield 10MHz Temperature Controlled Crystal Oscillator ( TCXO ) reference, and an external frequency source or GPS reference can also be used for higher accuracy.  An on board PIC Micro-controller is used to control the frequency and setting of the LMX2541 which is programmed using the G4JNT software that Mini-Kits has purchased the rights to use.  The Micro-controller is capable of being programmed for two different frequencies switchable by an on board link.  The standard PIC supplied is for the LMX2541-3320E and has 1152 and 576MHz frequencies programmed.

The Basic Kit does not include the LMX2541 or an on board 10MHz Reference which has to be purchased as Accessories

Please Note: Built products usually need to be constructed and can take up to 2 weeks to ship depending on work load, but are normally shipped in few days.

THIS KIT IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS AND REQUIRES VERY EXPERIENCED SOLDERING SKILLS
