Hi Srdjan.

First of all thank you for support.

We do not have register dump. However, Lime GUI project file used in this

We will try to adjust Ichp and offset first off all. Thank you for hint.

But we are forced to use one clock 26MHz for all because of target price.

required (too high capacity).
If VCOCAP incremented manualy (after auto-tuned) then no any problems.
What do you think about it.
And could you please inform me values for 10 kHz BW filter, just to compare
with my calculations.

Best regards,
