LMX2572: TICS Pro version provides different warnings when importing same register map

Part Number: LMX2572

Tool/software:

This register map was created with TICS Pro 1.6.8, which I can no longer find a way to download, if someone can provide a link that would be helpful. I believe on that version it will show no errors/warnings, but on newer versions it increasingly shows more errors/warnings. Are the register imports not backwards compatible or is TICS Pro just more strict now with settings?

TICS Pro 1.7.10.0



TICS Pro 1.7.2.0

    Hi There,

    TICS Pro 1.7.10.0 is correctly highlighted the error in the configuration. Multiplier of 29 is not supported. N = 3 is not valid as there is a min. N divider restriction. VCO frequency is also below the min. of 3.2GHz.

    Were you importing the register text file (.txt) or TICS Pro configuration file (.tcs)?

    I'm importing a register txt dump from TICS Pro 1.6.8 into newer versions of TICS Pro. 

    This is the register.txt contents:

    Hi There,

    It is a known issue that whenever we import the register text file in TICS Pro, we don't always get the correct configuration immediately, especially when fosc does not match with the text file. In this case, if we import the text file with fosc=100MHz, will will get fvco and PLL_N errors. However, if we import the text file with fosc = 19.2MHz, we will only get Multiplier error. In fact, this error is valid as the Multiplier should not be greater than 7. 

    I usually save both text file and configuration file (.tcs) to ensure I can get the correct setting later. Sometimes, after importing the file, I still have to toggle the R divider to refresh the GUI. This problem is due to the core of TICS Pro, we are in the development to enhance the core of TICS Pro, this problem will not happen later.

    BTW, your configuration has some errors, the values of some fixed-value bits are not correct.

    R125 0x7D0000 --> 0x7D 2288 [15:0] = 0x2288
    R114 0x720000 --> 0x72 7800 [15:11] = 0xF
    R78 0x4E0002 --> 0x4E 0003 [0] = 0x1
    R71 0x470080 --> 0x47 0081 [1:0] = 0x1
    R57 0x390000 --> 0x39 0020 [15:0] = 0x20
    R52 0x340420 --> 0x34 0421 [15:0] = 0x421
    R45 0x2DC000 --> 0x2D C600 [10:8] = 0x6
    R33 0x211E21 --> 0x21 1E01 [15:0] = 0x1E01
    R30 0x1E1CA9 --> 0x1E 18A6 [15:0] = 0x18A6
    R21 0x150408 --> 0x15 0409 [15:0] = 0x409
    R15 0x0F060F --> 0x0F 060E [15:0] = 0x60E
    R9 0x094204 --> 0x09 4004 [11:0] = 0x4

    I see, would you be able to provide me with a link to 1.6.8 version of TICS Pro so then I can export the .tcs file from this config?

    Hi There,

    The oldest version I can find in my hard drive is 1.6.9. Would you like to try?
