Part Number: LMK5B12204
Hi TI Team,
I am using LMK5B12204 with a 1PPS input and would like to clarify the behavior of TICS Pro.
Background
- Device: LMK5B12204
- Input: 1PPS (PRIREF)
- TICS Pro Version: 1.7.10.1
- XO: 19.2 MHz
Observed Behavior
First, I reproduced the following behavior under the default XO condition (12.8 MHz):
Steps:
- Load "Default Configurations → 1PPS Default"
- Export register settings (baseline)
- Run "Run Script"
- Export register settings again
Result:
After running Run Script, the following register changes were observed:
- R303 : 0 → 1
- R319 : 2 → 3
- R290/R291 : 513 → 320
HexRegistersValues_RunScriptChange.txt
These changes appear to revert the values that were specifically corrected in the TICS Pro release notes (Version 1.7.7.4) for improving 1PPS DPLL lock / re-lock (which were: R303: 1→0, R319: 3→2, R290/R291: 973→513).

In other words, the "Default Configuration" correctly reflects the updated (fixed) values, but executing "Run Script" seems to revert them back to the pre-fix values.
Impact when XO = 19.2 MHz
For my application using an XO of 19.2 MHz, the Default configuration cannot be used directly, so executing "Run Script" is mandatory.
- However, this causes the following issues:
The same "reversion" behavior observed at 12.8 MHz always occurs. - The configuration generated by "Run Script" alone fails to achieve a stable lock under the 19.2 MHz XO condition.
- Workaround: After manually modifying R303, R319, and R290/R291 to match the release-note corrected values (0, 2, and 513 respectively), improved lock behavior was successfully observed.
Questions
- Is it expected behavior that Run Script overrides the 1PPS optimization values described in the release notes?
- For 1PPS applications, which values should be prioritized: the values calculated by "Run Script", or the corrected values from the release notes (Default configuration)?
- For a 1PPS input, should parameters such as R303, R319, and R290/R291 be treated as fixed (recommended values independent of XO frequency), or should they be recomputed depending on the XO frequency?
