Analog Frequency Multiplier
PL663-xx XO Families
DESCRIPTION
Analog Frequency Multipliers TM (AFMs) are the
industry’s first “Balanced Oscillator” utilizing analog
multiplication of the fundamental frequency (at
double or quadruple frequency), combined with an
attenuation of the fundamental of the reference
crystal, without using a phase-locked loop (PLL), in
CMOS technology.
Patent pending PL663-xx family of AFM products
can achieve up to 800 MHz differential LVPECL,
LVDS, or single-ended LVCMOS output with little
jitter or phase noise deterioration.
PL663-xx family of products utilizes a low-power
CMOS technology and is housed in GREEN/ RoHS
compliant 16-pin TSSOP and 3x3 QFN packages.

BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS AND CRYSTAL SPECIFICATIONS
BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
To minimize parasitic effects and improve performance, do the following:
Place the crystal as close as possible to the IC.
Make the board traces that are connected to the crystal pins symmetrical. The board trace symmetry is
very important, as it reduces the negative parasitic effects to produce clean frequency multiplication with
low jitter.

EXTERNAL COMPONENT VALUES
INDUCTOR VALUE OPTIMIZATION
The required inductor value(s) for the best performance depends on the operating frequency, and the board
layout specifications. The listed values in this datasheet are based on the calculated parasitic values from
Micrel’s evaluation board design. These inductor values provide the user with a starting point to determine the
optimum inductor values. Additional fine -tuning may be required to determine the optimal solution.
To assist with the inductor value optimization, Micrel has developed the “AFM Tuning Assistant” software. You
can download this software from Micrel’s web site (www.micrel.com). The software consists of two worksheets.
The first worksheet (named L2) is used to fine -tune the ‘L2’ inductor value, and the second worksheet (named L4)
is used for fine tuning of the ‘L4’ (used in 4x AFMs only) inductor value.
For those designs using Micrel’s recommended board layout, you can use the “AFM Tuning Assistant” to
determine the optimum values for the required inductors. This software is developed based on the parasitic
information from Micrel’s board layout and can be used to determine the required inductor and parallel capacitor
(see LWB1 and Cstray parameters) values. For those employing a different board layout in their design, we
recommend to use the parasitic information of their board layout to calculate the optimized inductor values.
Please use the following fine tuning procedure:
