8 years agoTry connecting the input clock directly to the PLL's (adc_pll) inclock port , plus I don't see the reset as input to the PLL block. If you're not using the 'areset' pin, then enable the following option
- Enable self-reset on loss lock This will reset the PLL internally when it looses a lock and thus force it to regain lock again. Although I'd suggest you use the 'areset' pin and drive it from the system reset or POR from your board. The PLL may not be acquiring proper lock when its internal registers/FFs are not reset properly to a known state. The internal blocks in the PLL (PFD, NCO/VCO, etc) may need to be reset at the start, for it to capture and follow the incoming clock and get a lock on it.
