DS90UR910-Q1: LOCK and PASS are always logic '0'

Part Number: DS90UR910-Q1

Hi,

We are using DS90UR910-Q1. We were able to receive input signals from the DS90UR910-Q1 chip, but on probing status pins: LOCK and PASS pin, we are always getting logic '0'.

What is the problem? Could you please help me?
 
1. LOCK pin (no-24)
LVCMOS, LOCK status output;
LOCK = 1, PLL acquired lock to the reference clock input; DPHY outputs are active
LOCK = 0, PLL is unlocked
 
2. PASS pin (no-25)

LVCMOS, normal mode status output pin (BISTEN = 0);
PASS = 1: No fault detected on input display timing,
PASS = 0: Indicates an error condition or corruption in display timing. Fault condition occurs if:
1) DE length value mismatch measured once in succession,
2) VSync length value mismatch measured twice in succession,
BIST mode status output pin (BISTEN = 1);
PASS = 1: No error detected,
PASS = 0: Error detected.

Thanks.

  • Hello,

    Which Serializer are you using?
    Which PCLK?
    Is your Serializer connected via a correct cable, and powered-on?
    How long is the cable?
    Have you measured all power pins on the SER and DES? PDB Pin?
    have you configured the correct MODE on both devices? see UR910 Datasheet page 14, table 1.
    how did you configure EQ pins (Pins 1, 2, 3)?
  • Hi Hamzeh,

    Please see my answer as below:
    Which Serializer are you using?
    ==>DS90UR905
    Which PCLK?
    ==>40MHz
    Is your Serializer connected via a correct cable, and powered-on?
    ==>Yes
    How long is the cable?
    ==>about 73cm
    Have you measured all power pins on the SER and DES? PDB Pin?
    ==>Yes, the voltage seems OK
    have you configured the correct MODE on both devices? see UR910 Datasheet page 14, table 1.
    how did you configure EQ pins (Pins 1, 2, 3)?
    ==>UR910: CONFIG1=0, CONFIG0=1; UR905: CONFIG1=0, CONFIG0=0

    Could you please provide more suggestions about this issue? Why are LOCK and PASS logic '0'?

    Thanks.

  • Hello Kevin,

    Please check why do they have the Control signal filter enabled on the 910 but disabled on the 905. Also check on the 910 which EQ settings are they using.

    Additionally, you can check the 905 if De-emphasis control is turned ON or OFF. Also check the RFB settings on the devices.

    What about the cable? Is it the correct one?

    Please refer to the attachment for detail. The customer is very very urgent. Please help!

    Thanks.

  • It looks like there is no communications between SER and DES. Please check the settings of the SER too.
