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 section 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.

1.
Turn the PLL on by selecting
Normal Op
from the
PLL
MODE
box found at the top of the main window (see
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

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.
