CDCM6208V2EVM: VCO Calibration using RSTN bit

Part Number: CDCM6208V2EVM

Hi all,

I am using the CDCM6208V2 EVM and have a microcontroller to interface with it using SPI.

I am using RSTN bit in register 3 (register 3, bit 6 = Reg3.6) to initiate VCO calibration

- the code successfully toggle the bit (set 0 then 1) and the "PLL LOCK" LED shows the correct status of the PLL

Two Issues:

-When I read Register 21 less than 30 ms after toggling Reg3.6, the PLL_UNLOCK bit (Reg21.2) shows 1 (UNLOCKED) while the LED is showing LOCK

-if I read Reg21 more than 30 ms, Reg21.2 show 0 (LOCKED) which is correct

-Is there a minimum time we have to wait after toggling the RSTN bit in SW????

-if the Ref clock is not connected, reading Register 21 returns random values instead of 6 = 0110 = PLL_UNLOCKED, Loss of Reference Input

Any feedback is appreciated!

Regards,

Murad

Hi Murad,

- PLL lock time depends on the PLL-PFD clock & PLL loop bandwidth. It can range upto 16 sec. Please refer to Device power up Timing section of the datasheet.

- For LOS_REF to operate properly, the secondary input SEC_IN must be enabled. Have you enabled the secondary reference input also?

The clock in your case is not connected at all or you disconnect it after powerup?

Thank you Puneet

-I only have a valid clock at the PRI input, the sec has no input...when PRI is connected, the system LOCK (LED) but reading the bit doesn't reflect the PLL lock unless if I read it after 30 ms after toggling (see above please)

-for the second question above, the clock is not connected at all

Murad
