Questions answered in these manuals
What frequency range does the AD9523 generate when connected to a specific reference clock?
When connected to a 30.72 MHz to 122.88 MHz reference clock and a VCXO of either 30.72 MHz to 122.88 MHz, the device generates low noise outputs from a range of 0.96 MHz to 983.04 MHz.
What is the required amplitude setting for the signal generator connected to REF A SMA Connector J9?
An amplitude setting of 6 dBm is sufficient when connecting a signal generator to REF A SMA Connector J9.
What is the output frequency range of the AD9523-1?
The device can generate outputs from less than 1 MHz up to 1 GHz.
