11 years agois this a custom board?
did you checked the reference resistor for pll? from pin connection guideline: Reference Pins RREF_TL - Input Reference resistor for transceiver and PLL: If any PLL, REFCLK pin, or transceiver channel is used, you must connect each RREF pin on that side of the device through its own individual 2.0-kΩ +/- 1% resistor to GND. Otherwise, you may connect each RREF pin on that side of the device directly to GND. In the PCB layout, the trace from this pin to the resistor needs to be routed so that it avoids any aggressor signals.
