Chip is operational and stable except for two situations. We're using the eval board. Eval-ADF7024DB1Z (RevA1)
Here I present situation of writing the command CMD_HW_RESET (0xC8, 0xFF, 0xFF) to the ADF7024. This command causes chip to seize up. When we poll SPI_NOP (0xFF) we see the following all applies at the same time:
1) that the chip remains in the state prior to issuing the CMD_HW_RESET command as well as (such that PHY_any > CMD_HW_RESET issued > stuck in PHY_any state)
2) SPI_READY=True (bit 1) , CMD_READY = False (bit 0)
3) We can continually poll NOP for status (0xFF) and read registers [0x39, 0x00, 0xff] + 64*[0xff] without issue
4) Chip does NOT perform any command actions such as state change, transmission, receiving. We can ONLY read at this point. This was verified with analyzer.
5) Hard power cycle recovers chip into operational state, but we have to rewrite registers.
----------------------------------------
Next situation involves radio profile 'F.' We were successful in testing radio profiles A,B,C,D, and E with no issues. However when we configure Radio Profile as 'F' in the registers, the above seizing occurs when a Transmission or receiving command is given. No data is transmitted (verified by analyzer). The chip enters the PHY_TX mode and gets stuck. A hard power cycle also fixes this issue (and using different radio profile)
help much appreciated!
