LMK05028: LMK05028

Part Number: LMK05028

Tool/software:

On the circuit, the 'LMK05028' and the oscillators (XO, TCXO) mentioned below are installed. Ref_IN1 is fed with 5MHz (LVCMOS).  We want to synchronize 125MHz (Out0) with REF_IN1.

Several tests were done by different threshold and LBW values and afterwards we looped back (5MHz) Out7 to REF_IN1, but DPLL1/2 did not lock. 

Test conditions:

 

TICS file:

LMK05028_SyncE.tcs

 

XO Oscillator:  48MHz  ±50ppm      (ECS-3225MV-480-BN) 

TCXO Oscillator:   19.2MHz  ±1ppm    (525L19210IT)

 

By programming the board with “LMK05028_SyncE.tcs” XO، TCXO and REF_IN1 deliver no fault.

Read Reg  0x0D  =  0x00          (XO and TCXO Validated)

Read Reg  0x2E6  =  0x20        (REF_IN1 Validated)

 

REF_IN1 Monitor mask register is as below:

Write Reg  0xBE  =  0x2F

 

Although APLL is locked, DPLL1/2 frequency and phases are not locked.

Read Reg  0x0D  =  0x00          (APLL 1/2 Locked)

Read Reg  0x0E  =  0xC0          (DPLL 1 Not Locked)

Read Reg  0x0F  =  0xC0          (DPLL 2 Not Locked)

  • Hi Oliver,

    I will start working on your configuration this week and test it in lab.

  • Hello Oliver,

    I started checking your configuration and DPLL2 does not have a reference input.

    Since your 125MHz output is being sourced from PLL2 and not PLL1 there is not reference to your output signal.

    Pictured below is the image and circled in red are the controls you can change to fix the issue. You can either change DPLL2 Mode to be "2 loop:REF, APLL" OR change the "CH Mux / Disable" on CH0 to PLL1.

    Attached is also the tcs file with changing the "CH MUX / Disable" to PLL1.

    Please let me know if you are still having any issues.

    Best Regards,
