I am designing a PCB with a LMX2531 frequency synthesizer and a LMK01000 clock buffer. I want to have the possibility to control them with the computer via uWIRE connector using an USB2ANY cable.
I would like to use a single 2x5 connector but according to CodeLoader documentation: "the port setup tab allows the user to direct where the signals are sent. However, with the USB2ANY, the Clock, Data, and LE pins are fixed to 8,4,and 2 respectively".
DATA and CLK signals are shared by the LMX2531 and the LMK01000 but LE signals are independent for each device. Do I have to place two uWIRE connectors on the board, one for the LMX2531and another for the LMK01000? If so, I guess I could use the same cable to program both devices, first one, change the setup in the CodeLoader software and then program the second one. Is this OK?
In the schematic of the LMX2531LQ1500E Evaluation board the LE pin is connected to pin 8 and CLK to pin 6 instead of pins 2 and 8 respectively, does this mean that this board cannot be used with the USB2ANY cable? Something similar happens with the LM01000 evaluation board.
Thanks in advance.
