DAC34H84EVM: J10/J11 CDCE62005 LVDS clock output error

Part Number: DAC34H84EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CDCE62005, DAC34H84, DAC34SH84

Dear Team,

My customer is evaluating the DAC34H84EVM with the DAC348x EVM Software GUI. They want to set LVDS clock output as 207.36MHz from J10/J11 pins of the DAC34H84EVM which are U4P/U4N pins of the CDCE62005. The DAC34H84EVM has the 19.2MHz TCXO which is inputted into SEC REF+ pin of the CDCE62005.
They set the GUI as attached, but they got 211.29MHz LVDC clock output from J10/J11 pins of the DAC34H84EVM.
Could you advise them on how to set up the GUI to get the correct 207.36MHz LVDC clock output from J10/J11 pins of the DAC34H84EVM?

CDCE Output Settings, Y4 FPGACLK2 is settings for J10/J11 pins of the DAC34H84EVM.

I look forward to your reply.
Thank you.

Best Regards,

Koshi Ninomiya

  • Hi Koshi-san,

    Please advise the customer to toggle the "wake-up" button. This will calibrate out the VCO tune for the CDCE62005.

    Please also ask the customer to send their configuration file. We may need to get Clock team to support this configuration. Thanks. 

  • Hi Kang-san,

    The customer tried to toggle the "wake-up" button at the setting or after loading the configuration file, but the phenomenon was not improved.

    Please review attached configuration files from the customer.
     - DAC_config_CDC.txt  :  Configuration file for CDCE62005 device only
     - DAC_config_full.txt  :  Configuration file including DAC34H84 device

    They found a issue. When they set the DAC register "x02", DAC32H84 device settings became default value, although CDCE62005 device settings was kept as the configuration file.
    When they read the register value after loading "DAC_config_full.txt", it became different value as the following,
     - DAC_config_full_Read_after_Load.txt

  • Hi Koshi-san,

    Please inquire also with the clock team on this. They are best at answering CDCE62005 questions. Thank you.

    As a reference, you may ask the customer to refer to example DAC34SH84 configurations with on-chip PLL settings for the CDCE62005.

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\DAC348x\EVM Configuration File Released\DAC34SH84\Example CDCE62005 PLL Configuration

    Thank you

  • Koshi-san,

    0x02 register has 4 wire SPI setting. They probably set the wrong value and therefore not reading back properly. Please ask the customer to try the files listed above to have a reference point in the modification. Thank you.

  • Hi Kang-san,

    The CDCE62005 LVDS output error was solved during discussing with the clock team as follow,

    The remaining issue is this,

    They found a issue. When the serial interface, 4bit interface was enabled, when they set the DAC register "x02", DAC32H84 device settings became default value, although CDCE62005 device settings was kept as the configuration file.
    When they read the register value after loading "DAC_config_full.txt", it became different value as the following,

  • Hi Koshi-san

    Please keep the DAC34SH84 programmed as 3-wire mode (in register 0x02). This is how the example configuration files are done in the GUI. 

  • Hi Kang-san,

    Thank you for your support. The customer was able to resolve the issue of failing to read register information from the GUI by setting the 3-wire mode.
