Test Setups
The block diagram above illustrates the setup required to
measure the LMX2377U device’s Main charge pump sink
current. The same setup is used for the LMX2370TMEB/
LMX2370SLEEB Evaluation Boards. The Aux charge pump
measurement setup is similar to the Main charge pump
measurement setup. The purpose of this test is to assess the
functionality of the Main charge pump.
This setup uses an open loop configuration. A power supply

signal generator, a 10 MHz signal is typically applied to the
f
detector. The 3 dB pad provides a 50 Ω match between the
PLL and the signal generator. The OSC
This establishes the other input to the phase detector. Alter-
natively, this input can be tied directly to the ground plane.
With the D

sured by switching the Charge Pump Gain’s state between
1X and 4X in Code Loader.
Let F

represent the frequency of the signal applied to the f
pin. The phase detector is sensitive to the rising edges of F
and F
pump turns ON and sinks current when the first rising edge
of F

Toggling the Phase Detector Polarity state to negative
VCO characteristics allows the measurement of the Main
charge pump source current. Likewise, selecting TRI-STATE
