How to set the register of HMC1032 to use it in integer mode?

Hi,

Your register settings look correct.

The datasheet plots are measured with 50MHz reference vs you have 10MHz. This change both increases the PFD noise and also modifies the loop filter response if you are using the same filter. You can simulate your configuration in ADIsimPLL and compare your results with measurements.

A new loop filter design can be used to optimize the performance. However high reference reference (PFD frequency indeed) should be used for best performance. This can be also simulated in ADIsimPLL.

You are correct, but ADIsimPLL does not support HMC1032. I am using the latest version of it. What do you suggest to design a new loop filter? Is there any tool that supports HMC1032?

Hi Talha,

One of HMC83X models can be used for simulation. They should give enough accuracy. Please use the HMC830 model.

Thank you, it worked :)
