PLL2 Crystal Oscillator 122.88 MHz 20.48 MHz VCXO Enabled The next section outlines step-by-step procedures for using the evaluation board with the LMK04816. For boards with another part number, make sure to select the corresponding part number under the “Device” menu. SNLU107...
The purpose of this section is to walk the user through using CodeLoader 4 to make some measurements with the LMK04816 device as an example. For more information on CodeLoader refer to Appendix A: CodeLoader Usage or the CodeLoader 4 instructions located at http://www.ti.com/tool/codeloader/.
Troubleshooting Information contains information on troubleshooting communications. 4. Restoring a Default Mode Click “Mode” “LMK04816, 122.88 MHz VCXO, 122.88 MHz CLKin1”; then press Ctrl+L. Figure 5: Setting the Default mode for LMK04816 For the purpose of this walkthrough, a default mode will be loaded to ensure a common starting point.
The loop filters on the LMK04816 evaluation board are setup using the approach above. The loop filter for PLL1 has been configured for a narrow loop bandwidth (< 100 Hz), while the loop filter of PLL2 has been configured for a wide loop bandwidth (>...

Not populated: Output selected on the Bits/Pins tab via the LD_MUX control. Status_LD Refer to the LMK04816 Family Datasheet section “Status Pins” and “Digital Lock Detect” for more information. Note: Before a high-frequency internal signal (e.g. PLL divider output signal) is selected by LD_MUX, it is suggested to first remove the 270 ohm resistor to prevent the LED from loading the output.

Status_CLKin1 Status_CLKin0 Clock CLKin0 CLKin1 Reserved Refer to the LMK04816 Family Datasheet section “Input Clock Switching” for more information. Status Outputs When Status_CLKinX_TYPE is 3 to 6 (pin enabled as an output), the status output signal for the corresponding Status_CLKinX pin can be programmed on the Bits/Pins tab via the Status_CLKinX_MUX control.

A SYNC event can also be programmed by toggling the SYNC_POL_INV bit in the Bits/Pins tab in CodeLoader. Refer to the LMK04816 Family Datasheet section “Clock Output Synchronization” for more information. Status Output When SYNC_MUX is 3 to 6 (pin enabled as output), a status signal for the SYNC pin can be selected on the Bits/Pins tab via the SYNC_MUX control.

It is up to the user to ensure the PLL dividers are programmed correctly. To illustrate the proper programming of the LMK04816 device in dual loop 0-delay mode the following case examples are provided. Note that in one of the cases, the feedback frequency from the clock output matches the VCXO frequency and CodeLoader will display the proper frequency values.
This permits phase alignment between the clock output and the OSCin input (0-Delay). As such, the PLL2_N, PLL2_R, and PLL2_N_CAL divide values may need to be adjusted to permit the LMK04816 to lock. Programming Steps 1. Program the Single Loop 0-Delay mode.
