Board Diagram

The SYN101 board dimensions are 4 inches by 5 inches.

The module is manufactured from 4-layer sandwiched RO4003/FR4/RO4003 with a total thickness of 54 mils. The RF I/O’s are standard SMA connectors and the USB port is a type-B USB receptacle. Heat sinks are applied to both Direct Digital Synthesizers.

 
Description
1 OAN / OAP / OBN / OBP (SMA)

SMA connectors for output waveforms. They should be connected to an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer. If only using one output, please terminate the unused output with a 50 ohm termination. OAN and OAP are outputs of "Channel A". OBN OBP are outputs of "CHANNEL B."

 
2 CKI (SMA)


The SYN101 module has an on board local oscillator. An optional SMA connector can be mounted in order to use external input clock. If using an external clock, please ensure the module is configured for an external clock source, and connect a clock source with minimum power of +9 dBm to this SMA.

3 ROM Shunt (JP3)

For the SYN101, simply leave this shunt in place.

4 USB receptacle


Please use a type-B USB cable to connect the SYN101 to your computer any time after you have installed the Software and Drivers.

5 Power Jack


To power up the SYN101 module, insert the 12V power adapter barrel plug into the power jack.
