frequency to 1045MHz and the offset to 160MHz. The Configuration Manager calculates the correct LO
output frequency.
The low-power on-board microcontroller (µC) is used to load the multiple control and frequency registers
of each synthesizer with the data stored in either its RAM or FLASH memory. The µC is also used to manage
bi-directional communications over the serial interface.
On power-up, the µC reads the previously saved frequency and control setting for each synthesizer out of
FLASH memory. The µC then loads this data using the internal serial bus to each of the synthesizers. The
synthesizer will then lock and pass the lock detect signal back to the µC.
After power-up, the Configuration Manager software can communicate with the synthesizer module and
control all the synthesizer frequency and control settings. The Write Registers command can be used at any
time to update the register settings. The Read Registers command can be used to see what the frequency
and control settings are. The Write FLASH command is used to store the setting into the non-volatile FLASH
memory. The Configuration Manager can also Save and Get synthesizer's setting to and from a local disk.
