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.

Creating a Frequency Plan for a System using a PLL

How do you ensure that every part of a system receives the clock it needs—without wasting power or sacrificing performance? The answer lies in creating a well-structured frequency plan built around a PLL.

Specifying a PLL Part 3: Jitter Budgeting for Synthesis

This white paper is aimed at system architects and physical implementation leaders working on the design of SoCs. It can be confusing to understand the impact of different jitter sources and how to calculate a jitter budget when specifying a digital system. This white paper explains how jitter changes the period of a clock and how to ensure that jitter has correctly been accounted for in the calculations for timing closure.

Specifying a PLL Part 2: Jitter Basics

This article explains a some of the key terminology and parameters commonly used to describe jitter. It will also help clarify the most important parameters for a some PLL applications, allowing the designer to better understand what is required from a PLL.

Specifying a PLL Part 1: Calculating PLL Clock Spur Requirements from ADC or DAC SFDR

In high end RF systems, such as 5G radios, the requirements are so stringent that the source of this strongest unwanted tone can be the PLL. This article outlines how spurs in the input clock to the ADC or DAC may limit the SFDR. This in turn will set the requirements for the spurs for the input clock (from a PLL), in order to achieve a specific SFDR.

Achieving Groundbreaking Performance with a Digital PLL

This article compares analog, first-generation digital, and second-generation digital PLLs. It evaluates which type of PLL may be best in which situation. It further discloses a roadmap into other application areas, including general purpose / logic clocking, and regular low-jitter PLLs.
