LMK05318: Vco1 pll1 read frequency from registers

Part Number: LMK05318

Hello everyone. is there a way by reading the registers to know the frequency to which the pll1 is tuned in dpll on mode?

The center frequency is 2.5Ghz, but i can read or calculate te real frequency in dpll mode and in lock condition?

  • Hello, 

    In DPLL mode, the reference sets the VCO center frequency since the DPLL will correct for XO ppm error. So if your reference has 0 ppm, then the output will have 0 ppm and VCO is perfectly locked at 2.5 GHz. 

    In free running mode (no reference), VCO will have the XO ppm error. And that will be the error on the output. 

    You can always read PLL_NUM_STAT registers, (which are current values as set by the DPLL vs what's programmed into the PLL_NUM), to get the exact values. Below you'll find the register numbers. 

    Thanks and regards,

    Amin
