LMX2571: Abnormal working status of CP

Part Number: LMX2571

Tool/software:

Hi Team,

Customer encountered a problem with the charge pump when using LMX2571. The specific situation is as follows:
Register configuration process:

1. First configure all registers, and configure the pump current to the maximum level;

2. 1.5ms after the configuration is completed, configure the pump current register again, and configure a smaller pump current at this time. (The charge pump supply voltage is between 4.3-5V)


Using the same configuration method, different situations may occur sometimes. Figure 1 is a normal operation, and CV can change quickly; Figure 2 is an abnormal situation, and CV changes very slowly. It is suspected that the maximum pump current was configured for the first time and did not work. (Blue: CV   Green: LE   Yellow: LD) What is the possible reason for this situation?

Normal status Abnormal Status

  • Hi Adrian,

    Could you provide the configuration file and schematic?

  • Hi Noel,

    The last two registers are configured as follows: After all registers are configured, the pump current register is configured again at an interval of 1.5ms.

  • Hi Adrian,

    What is the reference clock frequency and VCO frequency? I assume it is an external VCO application?
