Integer-N-PLL-based HF Frequency Synthesizer and Clock Generator with integrated Loop Filter and VCO

Overview

This integer-N PLL synthesizes 3.3V-square-wave FVCO frequencies within the HF range from 2.424MHz up to 9.697MHz, by steps of 18.9393kHz, and provides one fourth of fVCO on two other outputs, FDEM and FDRV, which feature quadrature phase difference or no phase shift depending on the control bit PH_SEL.

The PLL-locked state within ±0.08% of fVCO is signaled by a logic high level on the LOCK output.

The PLL operates with three supply voltages, VDDA5 (5V typical), VDDA4 (4V typical from the additional IP TS_VR_4V00_X8) for the analog and test-bus (ATB) circuits and VDD3V3 (3.3V typical from the additional IP TS_VR_3V30_X8) for the digital circuits.

The PLL is meant for on-chip internal operation. Its inputs or outputs that need access to bond pads will require the insertion of ESD-protected buffers. The ATB path complies with 2kV electrostatic discharges.

The minimum continuous operation lifetime spans 100000 hours.
