Digitally Controlled Differential Oscillator (DCXO)
The Smart Timing Choice
The Smart Timing Choice
Default Startup Condition
The SiT3921 starts up at its factory programmed frequency and settings. The control register values are initialized all zeros,
effectively setting the frequency to the middle of the control range.
Frequency Control Protocol Description
The device includes two DCXO registers; writing to these registers controls the output frequency. Data for each register is writ-
ten to the device using a data frame.
Data Frame Format
Each frame consists of 40 bits. A frame has 3 parts:
- The header, 16 bit
- Register address, 8 bit
- The data word (represented as 2's complement numbers), 16 bit.
Bits are sent MSB first.
Frames are sent LS word first in mode 2.
The header allows the devices to recognize that the master is initiating communication. The header includes the device
address, which is factory programmable. The valid header is 0xFAIA, where "I" can be a hex digits from 0 to F. If not specified
at the order time, it will be defaulted to zero. In this document in all examples and text, the device address is considered to be
zero (default).

Frequency Control Mode 1
In this resolution mode, only one frame per frequency update is
required, and the output frequency is updated at the end of each
frame. The length of the frequency control data is 16 bits, and is writ-
ten to the device as shown below:
Frequency Control Mode 2
In this mode, two frames per frequency update are required, and fre-
quency is only updated at the end of the second frame. The fre-
quency control value in this mode is 23 bits. This value is written to
the device in two frames as follows:

Calculating Pull Range PPM offset
The frequency control value must be encoded as a 2's complement number (16-bit in mode 1 and 23-bit in mode 2), represent-
ing the full scale range of the device. For example, for a ±1600ppm device in mode 2, the 23-bit number represents the full
±1600ppm range.
The upper 16 bits of the value are written to address 0x06. If the high-resolution register (address 0x07) is used, the other 7 bits
are written to the lowest seven bits of address 0x07.
Here are the steps to calculate the frequency control value:
1. Find the scale factor (calculated for half of the pull range) from the tables below where PR is the Pull Range:
K (scale)Factor
Mode
K = Scale Factor
1
2
(2^15-1) / (PR*1.00135625)
(2^22-1) / (PR*1.00135625)
2. Enter the desired_PPM in equation below:
Frequency control (decimal value) = round (desired_PPM * K).
3. For any frequency shifts (positive or negative PPM), convert the frequency control value to a 2’s complement binary number.

Two examples follow:
Example 1
This example shows how to shift the frequency by +245.6
ppm in a device with ±1600 pull range using Mode 2 (23-bit):
Decimal value: round(245.6 * K) = 642954
23-bit value = 0x09CF8A
LS Word value = 0x000A (to be written to address 0x07)
MS Word value = 0x139F (to be written to address 0x06)
Write LS Word: 0xFA0A 07 000A (Frequency will not
update)
Write MS Word: 0xFA0A 06 139F (Frequency updates
after write)
Example 2
This example shows how to shift the frequency by -831.2
ppm in a device with ±1600 pull range using Mode 2 (23-bit):
Decimal value: round(abs(831.2 * K) = 2175989
23-bit abs binary value: 01000010011001111110101
23-bit 2's comp binary value: 1011110110011000 0001011
LS Word value = 0x 000B
MS Word value = 0x BD98
Write LS Word: 0xFA0A 07 000B (Frequency will not
update)
Write MS Word: 0xFA0A 06 BD98 (Frequency updates
after write)
Physical Interface
The SiTime DCMO uses a serial input interface to adjust the frequency control value. The interface uses a one-wire tri-level
return-to-middle signaling format. Figure 5 below shows the signal waveform of the interface.

A logical bit “1” is defined by a high-logic followed by mid-logic. A logical bit “0” is defined by a low-logic followed by mid-logic.
The voltage ranges and time durations corresponding to low-logic, high-, and mid-logic are illustrated in Figure 5 and specified
in electrical specification table.

Figure 6 shows a simple circuit to generate tri-level circuit with a general purpose IO (GPIO) with tri-state capability. Most
FPGAs and micro controllers/processors include such GPIOs. If the GPIO does not support tri-state output, two IO s may be
used in combination with external tri-state buffer to generate the tri-level signal; an example of such buffer is the
SN74LVC1G126. The waveform at the output of the tri-state buffer is shown in Figure 7. When the GPIO drives Low or High
voltage, the rise/fall times are typically fast (sub-5ns range). When the output is set to Hi-Z, the output settles at middle voltage
with a RC response. The time constant is determined based on the total capacitance on frequency control pin and the parallel
resistance of the pull-up and pull-down resistors. The time constant in most practical situations will be less than 50ns; this
necessitate choosing longer T_middle to allow the RC waveform to settle within 5% or so.
