LMX2572: LMX2572 direct VCO output problem

Part Number: LMX2572

Hi.

I have a problem with LMX2572 part.

When I program it for output with output frequency divider everything works ok - I see correct frequency and amplitude.(I program OUT_Force bit )

When I try to change output A multiplexer to output direct VCO frequency , I see nothing on output. But output driver is enabled charge pump output is about 1.3V and MUXOUT(configured as lock detect)

is 3.3V - so I assume that PLL is locked but something happens with output multiplexer.

Registers contents that I write on initialization stage(constant from vhdl module)

x"7a0000",--r122
x"7b0000",--r123
x"7c0000"--r124
);

Registers are wriiten from higher to lower.

On second stage(frequency change) registers are

constant widerec_lmx2572_pll_freq_LO2: widerec_lmx2572_pll_freq_t:=(
x"4b0800",--r75
x"2dce22", --r45
x"2b0000",--r43
x"250205",--r37
x"24008c",--r36
x"143048",--r20
x"00201c"--r0
);

Everything works but if I change one bit(output source changed to direct vco output)  from x"2dc622", --r45   to   x"2dce22", --r45 I dont see output.

Does anyone faced such problem? Or could TI employees answer this question.

P.S. I compared registers contents with TICSPRO - everything is the same.
