Troubleshooting 

 

Software does not communicate with the evaluation boards 

LPT or USB Mode 

  Ensure a valid signal is presented to the 

OSCin

 connector.  If a signal generator is used, 

ensure the RF is ON.

 

 

Consult the CodeLoader instructions for more detailed information on communication issues.

 

 

LPT Mode (Uses Parallel Port Cable) 

 

Ensure that CodeLoader is selected to LPT mode on the Port Setup tab

 

  Ensure the proper port number is selected (LPT1, LPT2, LPT3).  CodeLoader does NOT 

automatically detect this.

 

 

Ensure the LPT cable is securely connected to the computer and board.

 

 

Exit and Restart CodeLoader.

 

 

Ensure the parallel port is in the correct mode.

 

o

 

Windows often requires Administrative access to write to the parallel port. 

o

 

Ensure that the parallel port is set to “Enabled” in windows device manager. 

o

  A reboot upon installation of CodeLoader is sometimes necessary to get the parallel 

port to work. 

o

  Standard mode is the most reliable.  This can be set in the BIOS mode of the 

computer as “Normal”, “Output Only”, or “AT.” 
 

USB Mode (Uses USB <--> uWire Interface Board, NSID = USB2UWIRE) 

 

On the menu, select LPT/USB->Version to verify communication with the board.

 

 

Ensure the Green LEDs are lit on the USB board.

 

 

Ensure there are no conflicts with other USB devices and reinstall the board.

 

 

Part responds to programming, but does not lock to the correct 

frequency 

 

Ensure that there is a valid signal presented to the 

OSCin

 connector.  If a signal generator is 

used, ensure that the RF is set to ON.

 

  If using the lower frequency band (DIV2=1), the VCO frequency in CodeLoader should be 

twice the frequency at the Fout pin.

 

 

Ensure that the VCO FREQUENCY CAL bits on the Bits/Pins tab are correct. 

 

Ensure that the loop filter is optimized if the charge pump current, phase detector frequency, or 
loop filter values have been changed from their original settings.  Ensure that the integrated 
loop filter components on CodeLoader are set to their proper settings. 
 

Close-in phase noise is worse than evaluation board instructions 

show 

 

Ensure the signal presented to OSCin connector is clean.  Try another source, or if it is a 
signal generator, try using a higher frequency and dividing it down to the phase detector 
frequency.

 

 

Ensure the OSCin signal after the connecting cable provides sufficient power level.

 

 

If the phase detector frequency or charge pump current are lowered from their original settings, 
the in-band phase noise can be degraded, even if the loop filter is re-designed for the same 
loop bandwidth.

 

 

If the loop bandwidth is decreased, in-band phase noise can be degraded
