Fundamental mode datasheet error

Thread Summary

The user identified a potential error in the HMC7044 Rev. E datasheet on page 36, suggesting that 'Output Mux Selection[1:0] = 11' should be used to select the input VCO clock in fundamental mode. The support engineer confirmed the error and provided the correct configuration from Table 77, indicating that the fundamental mode can be generated with the divider set to 1 or via Output Mux Selection[1:0] = 11 with the divider set to 0.

Hi, 

HMC7044 datasheet Rev. E page 36 states:

"Output mux selection [...] 10 = other channel of pair, 11 = input VCO clock. Fundamental mode can be generated with the divider (12-Bit Channel Divider[11:0] = 1), or via Output Mux Selection[1:0] = 10 and 12-Bit Channel Divider[11:0] = 0."

I believe this is a mistake and that it should say "or via Output Mux Selection[1:0] = 11". This is backed up by the HMC7044 eval tool. Can you confirm this is the case?

Thanks
