LMH1983 severla questions

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMH1983

Q3. The LMH1983 datasheet (P29) insists that the device automatically adjust charge pomp current
        corresponding to the reference divider.

       Can you change the Charge pomp current by writing Address 0x28 Bit[4:0]?
       If so, in this mode, does customer have to change Charge pomp current depending on reference divider value?
       How can you get back to auto mode?

Q4. The datasheet mentions about TOF1 control (page 14)
      The default values of TOF1_Sync_Near is ‘1’ (Crash lock) and TOF1_Sync_Far is ‘0’.(Drift lock)

     From natural feeling, the default setting should be opposite (Near=Drift and Far=Crash)
   
    When customer set them opposite to the defaults, LMH1983 behaved unexpected way (hard to explain)
    It is suspected that the description of bit may be swapped.
    Can you please check if the description of the datasheet describe the IC designed or not?

Q5. The input named “INIT” (rising edge) force the device to set the initial frame of  five audio cadence.
   
    Does it means that the rising edge of INIT specifies the start of audio frame or first frame after
    Rising edge of INIT specifies the start of audio frame?

Q6. The reference design or evaluation board set 1.2V as the bias of negative input of the differential clock
      input XOIN-
     In contrast, the comment on the schematic diagram of the evaluation board insists bellows.

    The VCXO used on the EVK may have 3.3V LVCOMS. So, 1.6V may be used.
   Can you let me know why 1.2V bias is used instead of 1.6V?

   -LVCMOS (default):
    XOin+: Connect to VCXO's single-ended output.
    XOin-: Bias to 1.65VDC via 1.00k divider resistors using the

 

  • Answer to your Q3:

    The loop bandwidth of the LMH1983 is a function of the external loop filter components, the reference divider and of the charge pump current.   In the default mode, the charge pump current is set so that the loop bandwidth will stay the same when the reference divider is changed (otherwise the device would behave differently with different reference signals being applied to it).     If the device is in Auto Format Detect mode - (address 0x05, EN_AFD), then each time the  device detects a new format, then various different registers, including 0x28 (the charge pump current) and the reference divider are changed automatically.   If you want to control the charge pump current manually, then it is best to disable auto format detect, and to write the registers manually.

     

  • Answer to your Q5:

    The first frame following the rising edge of INIT is considered the start of the audio frame.

     

  • Answer to your Q6:

    I consulted with the designer on this.  The XO inputs were optimized for LVDS level inputs, and have some hysteresis built in.   1.6V (mid range) will work, but 1.2V will be closer to the center of the range and is preferred.

     

  • Mark-san,

    Thank you for the answers.
    I am looking forward to receive the answer to the Question 4 as well.

  • I am also looking forward to the answer to Question 4, as I have encountered the same inconsistency and similar unexpected behaviors when changing the crash lock settings.
