DAC37J82: DAC37J82 JESD204B LINK?

Part Number: DAC37J82

I am using the DAC37J82 on our design.
The DAC37J82 is being used with the following Serdes configuration:
LMFS 2221
K=16
Sysref : 9.6Mhz
Fs : 614.4Mhz
interpolation : 4
Lane Rate : 3072Mbps
153.6Mhz
External Clock mode.
Complex.

We do not have EVM.
We are use GUI simulation.

I revised the board.
I set a DAC37J82 register for E2E's reply.
The E2E file is "DAC37J82 Fs 614.4 K 16.cfg".

Our problem is as follows.
JESD204B link not connecting.
JESD204B PLL does not lock.
What is the way to check JESD204B?(Register check?)

Thank you

    I have this setup running in our lab. The config file used is attached. Compare these settings with what the customer is using. We are providing a 614.4MHz clock to the DAC and 307.2MHz clock to the FPGA. When they are getting the errors, have them read registers from address 0x65-0x6C. This will report any errors on the individual lanes. Have them also read address 0x6D to get error status on the serdes  PLL. My guess is they are sending the wrong clock frequency to the DAC or FPGA or both.

    Regards,

  • Hi JIM

    We are still testing the DAC37J82.
    Our problem is SERDES PLL is UNLOCK.
    The DAC CLK is input at 614.4 MHz. And if SERDES LANE has data, I think SERDES PLL is LOCK.

    Set DTEST to 1 or 2 in Config27.
    The output value of SERDES BLOCK0 / 1 does not show 38.4Mhz.

    What should I review?

    DAC37J82 setting.

    Serdes Lane Rate : 3072Mbps,
    Serdes Rate : QuarterRate,
    Serdes PLL=3072Mhz,
    Serdes Div=1,
    Multiply Factor=5,
    Serdes RefClk=614.4M
    Serdes Lane : LANE 0,LANE 1
    DAC_CLK : 614.4Mhz
    Interpolation Factor : 4

    DAC37J82 Register Value

    Thank you

  • Henry,

    You have at least two registers programmed wrong. Please make the following changes:

    add        data

    0x3B      0x0000

    0x4A      0x0321

    Make sure you follow the start up sequence that is called out in the data sheet after loading the DAC registers. This is section 8.3.

    Regards,

    Jim
