I am working on implementing Frequency control over our LMX2594 part using the 2594EVM board as my test set. I have my micro connected to the SPI bus and am able to communicate and command the LMX2594. But I don't seem to be getting the same results as the TICS Pro Software. I have put a logic analyzer on the SPI bus between the Reference Pro board that comes with the EVM, and the LMX2594EVM board. Specifically, the TICS Pro SW writes R31 for which I have no documentation in the datasheet. The datasheet says to just set it to 0x1F43EC and does not provide any field definitions for this register. TICS Pro, writes this register to 0x1F0000 when defaulting TICS Pro to 7000MHz output. if there is something I am missing I would appreciate the help. I am simply trying to tune the LMX2594 on 1MHz steps for the full frequency range.
Currently, I cannot achieve lock without using the TICS Pro SW to lock the board. I know there is the "how-to-tune" in the datasheet but it does not cover all of the various scenarios in the chip. Any help in getting a tuning plan would also be appreciated.
Thank you,
