LMX2595EVM: Programming PICs using TICS Pro Software

Part Number: LMX2595EVM

Hi,

I have the synthesizer working alongside the reference pro all while using the TICS Pro Software to control the output frequency. However, when I turn the voltage supply to the LMX2595EVM module and turn it back on, it seems to forget the program and therefore I have to write the registers once again. Is there a way to solve this and can I program a PIC using the TICS Pro software to control the LMX2595EVM module. 

Many Thanks

  • Hi Callum,

    There is no NVM in the chip, so a power supply failure will lose all the written registers. Internal POR will reset all the registers to their silicon default value. 

    You can use TICS Pro to create all the register values you want, export it in a .txt format and then dump it in a processor. 

  • Okay I get that I can receive the Hex Register Values through TICS Pro but how do I dump it into a processor. Surely some sort of code would be needed, I have no idea on where to start

  • Callum,

    On the TICSPro, you could go to the menu and do "File-> Export Hex Register Values"

    Now if you are asking about how to setup a microprocessor, this is not my strength at all.

    22 years ago, I did help someone do this with the COP8 microprocessor.  This is extremely old and I am sure there are much better options, but here's what he wrote about it.   In general, you should be able to get the register data from TICSPro and then set up something to load all the registers.
