Special Note:
Version 2.1.3 of CodeLoader contains a known problem, to be corrected in the next version of
CodeLoader, associated with programming the RF PLL frequency.
To program the RF PLL to frequencies with fractional values greater than 0.5, the fractional
numerator must be entered manually. When the desired frequency is entered in the frequency
box, the program will round the fractional compensation up to the next integer N counter value.
The following example illustrates the problem.
Correct Values:
Desired Frequency:
Reference Frequency: 19.68 MHz
N Counter:
Fractional Comp.:
For the frequency 975 MHz, the displayed values are:
Desired Frequency:
N Counter:
Fractional Comp.:
To overcome this problem, the N counter and fractional compensation need to be set manually.
In this example, set the N counter to 49 and the fractional compensation to 1000.
