QUICK START GUIDE TO THE AD9522 PLL 

When the evaluation software is installed, the evaluation board 
is connected, and the software is loaded, use the following steps 
to configure and lock the PLL. These steps assume that the input 
signal is present, the evaluation board has not been modified, 
and that the PLL loop filter is suitable for the user’s application. 
This quick start guide covers only simple PLL operation to start 
the PLL. See the AD9522 data sheet and the Evaluation Software 
Components s
ection for a detailed explanation of the various 
AD9522 features. 
The following case is an example for the AD9522-4, using the 
values in Table 1.

Turn the PLL on by selecting 

Normal Op

 from the 

PLL 

MODE

 box found at the top of the main window (see 

Figure 8)

2.

 

Enter the intended reference input frequency (in 
megahertz) in the 

REF 1 (MHz)

 box at the upper left 

corner of the main window. 

3.

 

Click the triangular buffer symbol immediately to the right 
of the input reference frequency (see Figure 4) to load the 

Reference Input Control

 window shown in Figure 5. Turn 

the REF1 reference input buffer on by selecting the 

Enable 

REF 1

 check box, and then clicking 

OK

When the window closes, the 

WRITE

 button under the 

Register W/R

 control section in Figure 8 blinks red. This 

indicates that there are settings that have not been loaded 
to the AD9522 evaluation board. Click the blinking red 

WRITE

 button to load these settings to the evaluation 

board. 

5.

 

Select the VCO as the input to the clock distribution 
circuitry by clicking the mux symbol that is located 
immediately to the right of the 

VCO (MHz)

 box (see 

Figure 6)

When the VCO is selected, the border of the 

VCO (MHz)

 

box changes from gray to black. The current VCO frequency 
is shown in the 

VCO (MHz)

 box.
