FemtoClock® NG Universal Frequency
Translator
General Description
The IDT8T49N203I is a highly flexible FemtoClock® NG general
purpose, low phase noise Universal Frequency Translator /
Synthesizer with alarm and monitoring functions suitable for
networking and communications applications. It is able to generate
any output frequency in the 0.98MHz - 312.5MHz range and most
output frequencies in the 312.5MHz - 1,300MHz range (see Table 3
for details). A wide range of input reference clocks and a range of
low-cost fundamental mode crystal frequencies may be used as the
source for the output frequency.
The IDT8T49N203I has three operating modes to support a very
broad spectrum of applications:

fundamental mode crystal.
Fractional feedback division is used, so there are no
requirements for any specific crystal frequency to produce the
desired output frequency with a high degree of accuracy.
Applications: PCI Express, Computing, General Purpose
Translates any input clock in the 16MHz - 710MHz frequency
range into any supported output frequency.
This mode has a high PLL loop bandwidth in order to track input
reference changes, such as Spread-Spectrum Clock
modulation, so it will not attenuate much jitter on the input
reference.
Applications: Networking & Communications.
Translates any input clock in the 8kHz -710MHz frequency
range into any supported output frequency.
This mode supports PLL loop bandwidths in the 10Hz - 580Hz
range and makes use of an external crystal to provide
significant jitter attenuation.

This device provides two factory-programmed default power-up
configurations burned into One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory.
The configuration to be used is selected by the CONFIG pin. The two
configurations are specified by the customer and are programmed by
IDT during the final test phase from an on-hand stock of blank
devices. The two configurations may be completely independent of
one another.
One usage example might be to install the device on a line card with
two optional daughter cards: an OC-12 option requiring a 622.08MHz
LVDS clock translated from a 19.44MHz input and a Gigabit Ethernet
option requiring a 125MHz LVPECL clock translated from the same
19.44MHz input reference.
To implement other configurations, these power-up default settings
can be overwritten after power-up using the I
2
C interface and the
device can be completely reconfigured. However, these settings
would have to be re-written next time the device powers-up.

IDT8T49N203I Data Sheet
FemtoClock® NG Universal Frequency Translator
Functional Description
The IDT8T49N203I is designed to provide two copies of almost any
desired output frequency within its operating range (0.98 - 1300MHz)
from any input source in the operating range (8kHz - 710MHz). It is
capable of synthesizing frequencies from a crystal or crystal
oscillator source. The output frequency is generated regardless of
the relationship to the input frequency. The output frequency will be
exactly the required frequency in most cases. In most others, it will
only differ from the desired frequency by a few ppb. IDT configuration
software will indicate the frequency error, if any. The IDT8T49N203I
can translate the desired output frequency from one of two input
clocks. Again, no relationship is required between the input and
output frequencies in order to translate to the output clock rate. In this
frequency translation mode, a low-bandwidth, jitter attenuation option
is available that makes use of an external fixed-frequency crystal or
crystal oscillator to translate from a noisy input source. If the input
clock is known to be fairly clean or if some modulation on the input
needs to be tracked, then the high-bandwidth frequency translation
mode can be used, without the need for the external crystal.
The input clock references and crystal input are monitored
continuously and appropriate alarm outputs are raised both as
register bits and hard-wired pins in the event of any
out-of-specification conditions arising. Clock switching is supported
in manual, revertive & non-revertive modes.
The IDT8T49N203I has two factory-programmed configurations that
may be chosen from as the default operating state after reset. This is
intended to allow the same device to be used in two different
applications without any need for access to the I
2
C registers. These
defaults may be over-written by I
2
C register access at any time, but
those over-written settings will be lost on power-down. Please
contact IDT if a specific set of power-up default settings is desired.
ratios within the IDT8T49N203I for the two different card
configurations. Access via I
2
C would not be necessary for operation
using either of the internal configurations.
Operating Modes
The IDT8T49N203I has three operating modes which are set by the
MODE_SEL[1:0] bits. There are two frequency translator modes -
low bandwidth and high bandwidth and a frequency synthesizer
mode. The device will operate in the same mode regardless of which
configuration is active.
Please make use of IDT-provided configuration applications to
determine the best operating settings for the desired configurations
of the device.
Output Dividers & Supported Output Frequencies
In all 3 operating modes, the output stage behaves the same way, but
different operating frequencies can be specified in the two
configurations.
The internal VCO is capable of operating in a range anywhere from
1.995GHz - 2.6GHz. It is necessary to choose an integer multiplier of
the desired output frequency that results in a VCO operating
frequency within that range. The output divider stage N[10:0] is
limited to selection of integers from 2 to 2046. Please refer to Table 3
for the values of N applicable to the desired output frequency.

Configuration Selection
The IDT8T49N203I comes with two factory-programmed default
configurations. When the device comes out of power-up reset the
selected configuration is loaded into operating registers. The
IDT8T49N203I uses the state of the CONFIG pin or CONFIG register
bit (controlled by the CFG_PIN_REG bit) to determine which
configuration is active. When the output frequency is changed either
via the CONFIG pin or via internal registers, the output behavior may
not be predictable during the register writing and output settling
periods. Devices sensitive to glitches or runt pulses may have to be
reset once reconfiguration is complete.
Once the device is out of reset, the contents of the operating registers
can be modified by write access from the I
2
C serial port. Users that
have a custom configuration programmed may not require I
2
C
access.
It is expected that the IDT8T49N203I will be used almost exclusively
in a mode where the selected configuration will be used from device
power-up without any changes during operation. For example, the
device may be designed into a communications line card that
supports different I/O modules such as a standard OC-12 module
running at 622.08MHz or a (255/237) FEC rate OC-12 module
running at 669.32MHz. The different I/O modules would result in a
different level on the CONFIG pin which would select different divider
