SDP-Board to ADF41513

Hi Del,

From your explanation, this has to do with the EEPROM ID mismatch. Since you are using the ADF4106 Evaluation board as your daughter board, you may be restricted to using the ADI PLL Frac-N software to control your eval board. One solution is to use any ADF41513 evaluation board to make the connection on the ADF41513 software, then detach the SDP board and reattach it to the ADF4106 evaluation board making sure that the connection is still active, then you can initialize the ADF4106 board by writing registers.

You can comment how you get on.

Cheers!

HI, 

Thank you for your answer, I tried what you suggested using ADF41513 evel board and it works. But is there any way to program EEPROM ID through any AD GUI?

Thanks,

Hi Del,

Glad to know that it works. Unfortunately, customers cannot reprogram an EEPROM as all EEPROM IDs are unique and assigned to an evaluation board prerelease.

Thank you Jude. This EEPROM ID is something that required for ADF41513 GUI to work. Is that right?
if I manage to program the ADF41513 chip without ADF41513 GUI, EEPROM  ID should not be the problem.

Sure Del, if you have a way to program the board without using the GUI then you will not need the EEPROM ID to do so. 

thank you.
