ESCRIPTION
The 843S06 is a low voltage, low skew 3.3V LVPECL Clock
Synthesizer. The device targets clock distribution in SDH/SONET
telecommunication systems but is well suited for a wide range
of applications requiring high performance high-speed clock
synthesis.
The device implements a fully integrated multiplying PLL
including:
•
An on-chip analog voltage controlled oscillator (VCO)
•
Phase-frequency detector
•
Programmable frequency dividers (prescalers)
The loop filter is external in order to optimize the PLL for different
applications.
As an option, the 843S06 may be operated with an ex-
ternal voltage controlled crystal oscillator for applications
demanding a high-Q oscillator.

The 843S06 comprises:
•
a low-noise analog VCO
•
a Phase-Frequency Detector
•

layout matching ensures short delay and minimum skew between
input reference clocks and outputs.

ETECT
The device outputs a signal NLDET that may be used to signal
whether or not the PLL is locked thus allowing fault diagnostics. The
NLDET outputs the result of an XOR operation of the signals input
to the phase-frequency detector. To be useful, this signal must be
filtered by a capacitor. The recommended value of this capacitor is
10nF. The filtered lock-detect signal is output as an LVTTL compat-
ible signal on the output NLOCK via a comparator.

It has been chosen to locate the passive loop-filter components
externally to the device. This allows for easy optimization of the
loop-filter to different applications. The recommended loop-filter is
a simple first-order RC-Circuit as shown on
Figure 1,
resulting in a
second order, type 2 loop.
The values of R

Note that the loop-filter should be terminated to the negative VCO
supply. An external VCXO might require a different termination point
for lowest point.

ERFORMANCE
The frequency of the input reference clock may range between
19.44MHz and 622.08MHz. Since changing the reference frequency
alters the loop-gain within the PLL it may be necessary to adjust
the loop-filter components when switching to a different reference
frequency in order to achieve ITU-T recommended performance.
PLL P
ROPAGATION
D
ELAY
When the PLL is in lock, the Phase Frequency Detector aligns the
positive (low to high transition) flanks of the reference clock and
divided VCO clock on it’s inputs. These inputs are marked R and V
on
Figure 1.
This means the positive transition of any FOUTx output
clock is aligned with the positive transition of the reference clock
under the condition of equal reference clock frequency and FOUTx
output frequency, please refer to
Figure 3.
Figure 3 defines the PLL
propagation delay parameter (D
OUT
). Note that D
OUT
will change with
leakage currents drawn from the loop-filter, hence D
OUT
is loop-filter
dependant.
Figure 3 is an example for D
OUT
phase relationships. The REF_CLK[1:3]
input signals shown are in reference to FOUT2 output signals, both
running at Fx MHz with the PLL locked using the recommended
loop-filter and no excessive leakage current drawn from the charge
pump output. A skew of 200ps maximum is expected, (see Figure 4).
Skew over supply and temperature definitions are at any combination
of extremes. The expected skew values are only valid with the PLL
locked when using the recommended loop-filter. The Total Output
Uncertainty is D

OLARITY
When the PLL increases the VCO frequency, the charge pump pin
OCHP sinks current. That is, the voltage on the loop-filter capac-
itor drops to increase the oscillator frequency. So be aware, that
an external VCO must have a negative VCO constant in order to
achieve a stable lock.

LOCKS
The 843S06 is equipped with six LVPECL compatible output buf-
fers. Each of the output buffers is equipped with an LVTTL enable
pin that may be used to disable clock signals not in use for noise
reduction. Clock outputs are synchronized by the falling edge. The
phases of the clock output signals are aligned with less than 200ps
skew peak-to-peak between any two clock signals. Available clock
signals from the PLL are divide by 1 (signal FOUTA and by FOUTB),
divide by 2 (FOUT2), divide by 4 (FOUT4), divide by 8 (FOUT8)
and divide by 16 (FOUT16).

ETTINGS
For the PLL to achieve lock a proper relation must exist between the
input reference frequency and the setting of the on-chip prescalers.
The prescalers are set by signals: VCOSEL1, VCOSEL2, SEL3,
SEL4, and SEL5 (refer to Table 1).
First, determine the desired master output frequency. This is the fre-
quency of output clock FOUTA (FOUTA is mirrored by FOUTB). Next,
select whether the oscillator is external or internal. The VCO source
can be external (622, 1244 or 2488MHz) or internal (2488MHz).
Table 1 gives the value of VCOSEL1/2. Finally, the proper relation
between the reference clock frequency and the setting of SEL3,
SEL4, SEL5 is read from Table 1.

ALIBRATION
When operated with an external oscillator, the differential LVPECL
inputs (VCXO and DCCAL) are to be used. In single-ended operation
the duty cycle of the outputs FOUTA and FOUTB may be adjusted
by tuning the voltage on DCCAL.
