CODELOADER
CodeLoader Software for device register programming
CODELOADER
Overview
The CodeLoader 4 software is used to program the LMX PLLs and LMK timing devices through either the USB or line print terminal (LPT) port of a computer. This software also provides information on how to program the device by showing the bits that are actually sent.
Which software do I use?
Product | Loop filter & device configuration + simulation | Device register programming |
LMX24xx PLL family | EasyPLL | CodeLoader* |
LMX25xx PLL+VCO family | ||
LMK jitter cleaners and distributors |
*For new designs, use the Clocks and Synthesizers (TICS) Pro Software tool.

Release Information
New Devices
- Added LMK5B12212, LMK5C22212A, LMKDB1104
Bug Fixes
- LMK05318B - 1PPS default config fixes, wizard reference fixes, early/late detector, BAW lock detect settings, and much more (see release notes)
- CDCE6214-Q1 - fixed Apply Selected Solutions button not appearing, fixed ZDM VCO bug
- LMK5B/LMK5C family - DPLL calculation fix for 414 devices, output quick set, corrected DC coupled mode for references
Known Issues
- LMK5B12212, LMK5C22212A
- EEPROM programming is not yet supported - to be added in a future release
- LMK5C33216
- When cascading from VCO3 to DPLL input, the divide value must manually be entered into DPLLx_REF5_RDIV as ( VCO3 output frequency / DPLLx TDC frequency )
- LMK05318
- In some cases, it is necessary to press "Calculate Frequency Plan" twice for correct VCO2 frequency. This issue is resolved in LMK05318B GUI.
- Burst mode page looping requires long delays to halt, and halting may crash the GUI. If possible, do not loop in burst mode.
- User Controls page can sometimes become desynchronized from Raw Registers and other pages. Refer to Raw Registers or other pages for correct values. Saving/Loading and Import/Export of register data is unaffected, and register data will still be written to and read from connected devices correctly.
