6.1.1 AFE79xx EVM Status Indicators

At this point, the green LED D3 is illuminated. D3 indicates that PLL loop 2 of the LMK04828 is locked. Optionally, the LED D4 indicates that PLL loop 1 of the LMK04828 is locked. If there are external equipment providing a 10MHz reference to the LMK04828 for lab equipment synchronization, then this LED D4 must illuminate. The EVM is still functional without PLL loop 1 running, but PLL loop 2 is necessary for a successful bring-up.

  • If PLL loop 1 is not running, check the 10MHz reference. The 10MHz reference is necessary to achieve signal coherency with the signal generators and spectrum analyzer.
  • If PLL loop 2 is not locked, contact TI applications for additional support.
