LMK04832: TICS Pro Frequency Planner Documentation

Part Number: LMK04832

Tool/software:

I am working with TICS Pro version v1.7.6.2 and am referencing the LMK04832EVM design guide as a reference for how to set up and navigate through TICS Pro. This design guide was released in 2017, while the Frequency Planner tab in TICS Pro was released in 2020 for the LMK04832 so this design guide does not include any material for the Frequency Planner. Is there updated documentation for user guide of TICS Pro that has information specifically on the Frequency Planner tab?

  • We do not have documentation for the frequency planner. 
    But it's rather simple. 
    1.Enter desired mode of operation. In my case I will select distribution. 

    2. User input
    I chose the following. 


    3. Decide whether you require SYSREF signaling. 


    Please note VCXO option would be used only if we had selected dual loop mode instead of distribution - this is for jitter cleaning applciations. 
    4. Input desired output frequencies and format. I chose 8 300MHz LVPECL signals. 

    4a. Press calculate. 
    5. If the frequency plan entered is valid, you will receive solution options in the Possible solutions box. 

    5a. You can choose whether to previous the solution, program both the PLLs and the clock outputs or program only the outputs. 

    Best regards, 

    Vicente
