CDCE6214-Q1: NVMSCRC not computing

Part Number: CDCE6214-Q1

Tool/software:

Hello,

I am currently trying to load a configuration into the EEPROM of a CDCE6214Q1 with direct access flow.

When rebooting, the CDCE loads the configuration we want from its EEPROM (correct outputs/frenquencies) and the NVMLCRC updates but not the NVMSCRC, which stays at 0x0000.

I have looked at a similar thread: https://e2e.ti.com/support/clock-timing-group/clock-and-timing/f/clock-timing-forum/1282169/cdce6214-q1-cdce6214-q1

but the UPDATE_CRC R3[12] / power cycles don't change it, no matter how much times I do it.

I have this problem on 2 devices with different configurations.

Do you have any idea of what could be the reason here please?

Regards,

Alexandre

  • Alexandre,

    Can you provide the EEPROM files that you are seeing these issues with?

    Best,

  • Hello Cris,

    Please find below every access I am doing. I am doing the register commit flow, and not direct access as previously stated.

  • Alexandre,

    Thank you for the clarification. 

    I noticed in the steps you sent, the CRC update step [Step 6 in the datasheet] seems to be missing. 

    Is this a typo? If the step is included in the EEPROM programming process, does the issue still occur?

    Best,

    Cris
