DAC37J84: output frequency half what i was expecting

Part Number: DAC37J84

HI Team,  

We’re feeding in 160MHz and bypassing the DAC PLL.

 

The SerDes rate is set to half-rate and MPY is set to 10 – thus we’re expecting to run at 20 x 160MHz = 3200MHz

I’m assuming this means that the SerDes VCO is running at 1.6GHz which is just OK; I would appreciate a block diagram of the SerDes PLL if you have one.

 

I have attached a spreadsheet showing the register values we’re loading – column E is the pertinent one in each case.

 

Thanks for your support and I look forward to hearing from you.
