Part Number: LMX1204EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMX1204

Hi, 

I have difficulties setting up the multiplier on the LMX1204EVM using TICS Pro (1.7.5.7), see screenshot and register settings below. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance, Martin

  • Hi Martin,

    LMX1204 can be operate in multiplier mode for the Fout frequencies between 3.2G to 6.4GHz.

    Hence for the x2, input frequency should be min 1.6GHz and VCO need to be calibrate for output generation.

    Below is the updated config file (for 2G input) operating in multiplier mode FYR.
