ESCRIPTION
The M901-01 is a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) based
clock generator that uses an internal
VCSO (Voltage Controlled SAW
Oscillator) to produce a very low
jitter output clock. The output clock
(e.g., frequencies of
622.08
,
311.04
,
155.52
, or
77.76
MHz with the
M901-01-622.0800
) is provided from a
LVPECL clock output pair. Output frequency accuracy
is assured by phase-locking the VCSO to an external
input reference frequency (e.g., frequencies of
19.44
,
38.80
,
77.76
, or
155.52
MHz with the
M901-01-622.0800
).
The input reference can either be an external crystal,
utilizing the internal crystal oscillator, or a stable
external clock source such as a packaged crystal
oscillator.

Product Data Sheet
P Divider and Outputs
The M901-01 provides one differential LVPECL output
pair:
FOUT, nFOUT.
By using the P divider, the output
frequency can be the VCSO center frequency (Fvcso)
or 1/2, 1/4, or 1/8 Fvcso.
The
P1
and
P0
pins select the value for the P divider.
See Table 4, Pin Selection of P Divider Using P1:0
Pins, on pg. 2.
F
UNCTIONAL
D
ESCRIPTION
The M901-01 is a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) based
clock generator that generates output clocks synchro-
nized to an input reference clock. The M901-01
combines the flexibility of a VCSO (Voltage Controlled
SAW Oscillator) with the stability of a crystal oscillator.
The M901-01 uses a high-Q, narrow tuning range
VCSO with a center frequency that is specified at time
of device order (see Ordering Information on pg. 8).
A suitable reference clock frequency, M Divider setting,
and loop filter configuration must be used to assure
proper operation.
Input Reference
An input clock reference is required. It should be a
stable external clock source, such as a packaged
crystal oscillator or distributed system clock. The clock
reference is applied to the
REF_IN
input pin, which is
internally applied to the non-inverting input of the phase
detector.
See External Crystal Specifications in Application
Information on pg. 4.
When the P divider is included, the complete
relationship for the output frequency is defined as:
M
-
Fvcso = Fref_in
×
----
P
Configuration of M and P Dividers
The M and P dividers can be set by pin configuration
using the input pins
M0, M2 - M5
,
P0
, and
P1
. The data on
pins
M5:2
and
M0
and on pins
P1:0
is passed directly to the
M and P dividers.
The divider configuration of the M901-01 is reset and
the outputs disabled when the input pin
OUT_EN
is set
HIGH.
MR
is set LOW for divider configuration to be
operational.
Internal PLL Operation
The internal PLL is comprised of a first order, type 3
frequency/phase detector, a SAW delay-line based
VCO (VCSO), and a clock feedback divider.
The clock feedback divider (M Divider) divides the
VCSO frequency and drives the inverting input of the
phase detector, which is compared to the input
reference clock. The PLL is “locked” when the phase
detector inputs are aligned in frequency and phase; the
phase detector output controls the VCSO frequency to
achieve this, and the external loop filter provides
stability to this frequency (and phase) control system.
Hence, the VCSO frequency operates at “M” times the
input reference frequency, thus accomplishing
frequency translation. The external loop filter also acts
as a low pass filter that provides attenuation of clock
jitter on the reference input.
The relationship between the VCSO output frequency,
the M divider, and the input reference frequency is
defined as follows:
Fvcso = Fref_in
×
M
The product of M and the input frequency must be such
that it falls within the “lock” range of the VCSO.
See APR in AC Characteristics on pg. 6.

A free PC software utility is available on the ICS web
site. The SAW PLL Simulator is a downloadable
application that simulates PLL jitter and wander transfer
characteristics. This enables the user to set appropriate
external loop component values in a given application.
Refer to the SAW PLL Simulator Software web page at
www.icst.com/products/calculators/m2000filterSWdesc.htm
for additional information.

XTAL Load Capacitance Specification = 18 pF
C1 = 27 pF
C2 = 33 pF
External load capacitors C1 and C2 present a load of 15 pf
to the crystal (they are seen in series by the crystal through
the common ground connection). With the additional of PCB
trace capacitance and M901-01 input capacitance, the total
load to the crystal is about 18 pf.
External Loop Filter
To provide stable PLL operation, and thereby a low jitter
output clock, the M901-01 requires the use of an
external loop filter. This is provided via the provided
filter pins (see Figure 4).
