Automotive Grade 0 – FracN/SSCG PLL on GLOBALFOUNDRIES 40LP-ESF3H-AG0

Overview

The Fractional-N PLL addresses power sensitive designs required for IOT, mobile and other low power applications needing non-integer clock multiplication, programmable clock synthesis, and clock tracking for fine tuning on-the-fly. The PLLs are designed for digital logic processes and use robust design techniques to work in noisy SoC environments, such as high speed communication to low power consumer to memory interfaces.

The programmable Fractional-N divider allows the PLL to lock to an incoming clock source and produce an output clock with a non-integer multiplication factor. The generated clock can be locked to the input source yet adjusted to a fine-degree of precision, and may be adjusted on-the-fly to maintain a relatively drifting local clock need. The updatable programmable fractional feedback divider is provided for this purpose. “On the fly” capability means the frequency transition and re-obtaining lock process for small frequency adjustment is glitch free and contains limited frequency over/undershoot.
