EE Programming Kit Setup
1. As shown in Figure 1, verify a jumper is placed on the connector J4 between VPP
Pin 2 (VPP, the center pin) and Pin 1 (pin at left).
2. Verify a jumper is placed on the connector J2.
3. Verify all switches of SW1 if installed are in “OFF” position.
4. Connect your computer’s printer port to J1 on the programming board via a 10-wire
interface cable.
5. Connect power supply cables to the EEPROM programming board as shown in
Figure 1. Verify all supplies are turned off prior to connecting to programming board.
Î With 2-wire power supply cable, connect the +3 V supply to J3 (J3-1 +3 and J3-3
GND)
Î With 4-wire power supply cable, connect the +13 V supply to J6-4 (red connector),
the -9 V supply to J6-1 (black connector), and the ground to J6-2 & -3 (green
connector).

Software Installation Instructions
In order to setup the Programming Software on your computer:
1. Start Microsoft WindowsTM ‘95/98/2000.
2. If the software comes with a CD, insert the CD to CDROM drive. Otherwise, insert the
floppy disk 1 to the floppy disk drive. Search the “setup.exe” file.
3. Double-click the “setup.exe” file and follow the on-screen instructions to finish
installation.
Software Operation Instructions
With the EE Programming kit set up completed as described in the previous section, the
follow steps are for programming of the EEPROM register.
Step 1: Start the “Peregrine EE PLL Control Software” program. Figure 2 shows one
example of the screen.
Step 2: Verify the “EEPROM Register” is displayed in the drop down menu in the middle
section.
Step 3: Enter reference frequency (crystal frequency) value in MHz into the Ref Freq box
(marked by red dot at left)
Step 4: Set reference counter (R counter) to the desired value by entering it into the R
Register box in the middle left side (marked by yellow dot at left). Note that the
numbers in the orange boxes are computed values and cannot be directly typed
in.
Step 5: Verify “frequency step” (which is also called phase detector frequency) is at the
desired value.
Step 6: Set the VCO frequency to the appropriate value by typing it into the “Out Freq
(MHz)” box. Once the frequency value is entered into the box, the corresponded
M and A register values are displayed in the “M Register” and “A Register”
Boxes, respectively. Instead of entering the frequency value into the “Out Freq
(MHz)” box, the frequency can also be changed by entering M register and A
register values into the “M Register” and “A Register” boxes directly.
Step 7: Turn on all power supplies (+3, +12.5 and -9 V) with no part in the IC holder.
Step 8: Place carefully one PE3341/2 IC in the IC holder.
Step 9: Click the “SEND DATA” button to send data to the PLL.

Î Light blue number boxes identify user defined program states and can be modified
by utilizing the arrows next to the boxes or clicking into the box and typing the
appropriate value. Either clicking on the light blue switches or typing the counter
variable into the text box can program the registers.
Î Programming of the secondary or EEPROM register is selected by the light blue pull
down box. Note: EEPROM register is the default selection. Do not change it.
Î The prescaler disable and the enhancement mode enable functions are currently
unavailable.
Î Data is sent to the evaluation board by clicking the dark blue “SEND DATA” button.
Figure 2. Example of EEPROM Programming Software Screen.
Step 10: The program will automatically read back the R, M and A Register values and
display them in the bottom section. If the EEPROM is programmed successfully,
a message “Device Programmed Successfully!” with a green button will display in
the bottom section as shown in Fig. 2. Otherwise, if any of the read back values
is different from the programmed value, a message “Device Programming
Failed!” with a red button will display as shown in Fig. 3. This feature can be
Peregrine Semiconductor Corportation Doc. 79/0089~00A

used to read back the R, M and A Register values of a previous programmed
part. To do this, just complete Steps 7 and 8 and then click the “READ DATA”
button in the right bottom corner. The “READ DATA” function will read back and
display the R, M and A Register values of a previous programmed part without
showing other message.
Step 11: Remove the programmed IC from the IC holder with a pair of tweezers or other
sucking device with insulated handles.
Step 12: To program additional parts, repeat the steps 8 to 11. Do not recycle any power
supply while a PE3341/2 IC is in the IC holder. If doing so, the transit created by
turning power supply on or off could erase or re-program the EEPROM content.
A solution is being working on.
Step 13: To exit the program, click the “QUIT” button.

failed.
