Hi,
I have a multi-LMK04832 setup where each LMK is taking in the same 6MHz clock as its reference clock (matched cables, etc) and has a 100MHz external VCXO. It is creating the following clocks:
- 6MHz clocks (including SYSREF)
- 132 MHz clocks
I am running the clocks in nested 0-delay mode. I am attaching my register values

I have the ability to see CLKOUT3 on the multiple LMK04832s, so I can set that output to be either 6MHz or 132MHz. When I set it to 132MHz, I am noticing that the 132MHz clocks do not always come up synchronously (or even at predictable phase offsets which I could work with) between the LMKs. They are coming up at the correct frequencies.
I have tried doing the "SYNC Dividers" sync that the GUI does with the same register writes and this is not aligning the phases either.
What am I missing? I am able to provide a matched SYNC pulse to the input pins of the LMKs from an FPGA if needed but the documentation seems conflicting over whether this needs to be done or not (and what the necessary pre/post register writes would be).
Please advise. Thank you.
