Issue in CDCE913PWR

Hi

We are using CDCE913PWR IC in our design,

We are using 25MHz crystal to generate reference clock for the PLL.

I am observing 1.3V DC Signal at pin no 1 and 14 of the IC. Could it be the problem in my crystal?

Thanks and Regards

  • Hi Sushruta,

    Please ensure that crystal mode is selected on the part. See Page 17 of the datasheet: http://www.ti.com.cn/cn/lit/ds/symlink/cdce913.pdf

    Register 01h, Bits [3:2] = 00 for Xtal

    Also ensure that your crystal load capacitance Register 05h, Bits [7:3] are correctly programmed.

    Example: If crystal load capacitance = 10pF (from Xtal manufacturers datasheet), set crystal load cap register bits to 1Fh

    Probe pin 14 using a high impedance probe. You should see a 25 MHz waveform. Note that a low impedance probe could kill oscillations.

    Regards
