The PL680-3X is a monolithic low jitter and low phase
noise high performance clock, capable of producing
0.4ps RMS phase jitter and LVCMOS, LVDS or LVPECL
outputs, covering a wide frequency output range up to
640MHz. It allows high performance and high frequency
output, using a low cost fundamental crystal of 19MHz to
40MHz.
The frequency selector pads of PL680-3X enable output
frequencies of (2, 4, 8, or 16) * F
XIN
. The PL680-3X is
designed to address the demanding requirements of high
performance applications such Fiber Channel, serial ATA,
Ethernet, SAN, etc.

Description
VDD for analog Circuitry.
Crystal input pin. (See Crystal Specifications on page 4).
Crystal output pin. (See Crystal Specifications on page 4).
Output frequency Selector pin.
Output enable control pin. (See OUTPUT ENABLE LOGIC
LEVELS above).
Do Not Connect
Ground for analog circuitry.
Tuning inductor connection. The inductor is recommended
to be a high Q small size 0402 or 0603 SMD component,
and must be placed between LP and adjacent LM pin.
Place inductor as close to the IC as possible to minimize
parasitic effects and to maintain inductor Q.
GND connection for output buffer circuitry.
LVPECL or LVDS output.
VDD connection for output buffer circuitry. VDDBUF
should be separately decoupled from other VDDs whenever
possible.
Complementary LVPECL, LVDS output; Or single ended
LVCMOS output.
GND connection for output buffer circuitry.
Output frequency Selector pin.
Output frequency Selector pin.

All SEL pads have a 60kΩ internal pull-up resistor (default value is ‘1’). Bond to GND to set to 0.
* Special Test Modes to help selecting the inductor value for the target output frequency.
PERFORMANCE TUNING & INDUCTOR VALUE SELECTION
Please refer to PhaseLink’s ‘PhasorV Tuning Assistance’ software to automatically calculate the optimum inductor
values. In addition, the chart below could be used as a reference for quick inductor value selection.
Use the special test modes “VCO Max” and “VCO Min” to determine the optimum inductor value. “VCO Max”
represents the high end of the VCO range and “VCO Min” represents the low end of the VCO range. The output
frequency in the “VCO Max” and “VCO Min” test modes is VCO/16. This means that the output frequencies are
around the crystal frequency that will be used. The optimum inductor value is where the target crystal frequency
is closest to the middle between the “VCO Max” and “VCO Min” output frequencies. In this case the VCO will lock
in the middle of its tuning range with maximum margin on either side.

conditions above the operational limits noted in this specification is not implied.* Operating Temperature is guaranteed by design for all parts

Note:
Crystal Loading rating: 18 pF is the loading the crystal sees from the XO chip. It is assumed that the crystal will be at nominal frequency at this
load. If the crystal requires less load to be at nominal frequency, then a capacitor can placed in series with the crystal. If the crystal requires more
load to be at nominal frequency, capacitors can be placed from XIN and XOUT to ground. This however may reduce the oscillator gain.
