MK2049-10
Communications Clock PLL
Functional Description
The MK2049-10 is a PLL (Phased Locked Loop) based
clock generator that generates output clocks
synchronized to an input reference clock. It contains
two cascaded PLL’s with table selected divider ratios.
The first PLL is VCXO-based and uses an external
pullable crystal as part of the normal “VCO” (voltage
controlled oscillator) function of the PLL. The use of a
VCXO assures a low phase noise clock source even
when a low PLL loop bandwidth is implemented. A low
loop bandwidth is needed when the input reference
frequency at the phase detector is low, or when jitter
attenuation of the input reference is desired.
The second PLL is used to translate or multiply the
frequency of the VCXO PLL. The Translator PLL uses
an on-chip VCO for output clock generation and is
configured with high loop bandwidth.
The divide values of the divider blocks within both PLLs
are set through table selection.
External components are used to configure the VCXO
PLL loop response. This serves to maximize loop
stability and to achieve the desired input clock jitter
attenuation characteristics.
Setting the VCXO PLL Loop Response.
The VCXO PLL loop response is determined both by
fixed device characteristics and by other characteristics
set by the user. This includes the values of R
Z
, C
1
, and
C
2
as shown in the Block Diagram on page 1.
The VCXO PLL loop bandwidth is approximated by:

µA
(fixed, not adjustable)
K
O
= VCXO Gain in Hz/V
(see table on page 8)
N = XTAL frequency / input clock frequency
(see 4th column of table on page 6)
The above equation calculates the “normalized” loop
bandwidth (denoted as “NBW”) which is approximately
equal to the - 3dB bandwidth. NBW does not take into
account the effects of damping factor or the second
pole imposed by C
2
. It does, however, provide a useful
approximation of filter performance.
To prevent jitter on the output clocks due to modulation
of the VCXO PLL by the phase detector frequency, the
following general rule should be observed:
NBW(VCXO PLL)
≤
.
Application Information
The MK2049-10 is a mixed analog / digital integrated
circuit that is sensitive to PCB (printed circuit board)
layout and external component selection. Used
properly, the device will provide the same high
performance expected from a canned VCXO-based
hybrid timing device, but at a lower cost. To help avoid
unexpected problems, the guidance provided in the
sections below should be followed.

In general, the loop damping factor should be 0.7 or
greater to ensure output stability. A higher damping
factor will create less peaking in the passband and will
further assure output stability with the presence of
system and power supply noise. A damping factor of 4
or greater will assure a passband peak less then 0.2dB

(see also notes below regarding C
2
) which may be
required for network clock wander transfer compliance.
A high damping factor may also increase output clock
jitter when there is excess digital noise in the system
application, due to the reduced ability of the PLL to
respond to and therefore compensate for phase noise
ingress.
Loop Filter Response Software
ICS has a PC-based program available that simulates
VCXO PLL loop response characteristics. This can be
used instead of the above bandwidth and damping
factor equations. The user enters external loop filter
component values and other listed device
characteristics. The program generates a PLL
frequency response graph, which translates to jitter
attenuation characteristics. Normalized bandwidth
(NBW) and damping factor values are also calculated.
To obtain this free software please contact the
applications department of ICS, MicroClock Division, at
(408) 297-1201.
Notes on setting the value of C
2
As another general rule, the following relationship
should be maintained between components C1 and C2
in the loop filter:
C
1
-
C
2
= -----
20
C
2
establishes a second pole in the VCXO PLL loop
filter. For higher damping factors (> 1), calculate the
value of C
2
based on a C
1
value that would be used for
a damping factor of 1. This will prevent excessive
baseband peaking and loop instability that can lead to
output jitter.
C
2
also dampens VCXO input voltage modulation by
the charge pump correction pulses. A C
2
value that is
too low will result in increased output phase noise at
the phase detector frequency due to this. In extreme
cases where input jitter is high, charge pump current is
high, and C
2
is too small, the VCXO input voltage can
hit the supply or ground rail resulting in non-linear loop
response.
The best way to set the value of C
2
is to use the filter
response software available from ICS (please refer to
the following section). C
2
should be increased in value
until it just starts affecting the passband peak.
