DESCRIPTION
The PL611s-26 is a general purpose frequency
synthesizer and a member of PhaseLink’s PicoPLL
TM
product family. Designed to fit in a small 6-pin DFN
or 6-pin SOT package for high performance
applications, the PL611s-26 offers very low phase
noise, jitter, and power consumption, while offering
up to 2 clock outputs.. The Frequency Switching
(FSEL) capability of PL611s-26 allows for
programming two sets of frequencies, while the
power down feature of PL611s-26, when activated,
allows the IC to consume less than 50µA of power.
PL611s-26’s programming flexibility allows
generating any output using Reference input signal.

Programmable Clock
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
PL611s-26 is a highly featured, very flexible, advanced programmable PLL design for high performance, low-
power, small form-factor applications. The PL611s-26 accepts a reference clock input of 1MHz to 200MHz and is
capable of producing two outputs up to 200MHz. This flexible design allows the PL611s-26 to deliver any PLL
generated frequency, F
REF
(Ref Clk) frequency or F
REF
/(2*P) to CLK0 and/or CLK1. Some of the design features
of the PL611s-26 are mentioned below:
PLL Programming
The PLL in the PL611s-26 is fully programmable.
The PLL is equipped with an 8-bit input frequency
divider (R-Counter), and an 11-bit VCO frequency
feedback loop divider (M-Counter). The output of
the PLL is transferred to a 5-bit post VCO divider (P-
Counter). The output frequency is determined by
the following formula [F
OUT
= F
REF
* M / (R * P) ].
Clock Output (CLK0)
CLK0 is the main clock output. The PL611s-26 can
also be programmed to provide a second clock
output, CLK1, on the programmable I/O pin (see
OE/PDB/CLK1 pin description below). The output of
CLK0 can be configured as the PLL output
(F
VCO
/(2*P)), F
REF
(Ref Clk Frequency) output, or
F
REF
/(2*P) output. The output drive level can be
programmed to Low Drive (4mA), Standard Drive
(8mA) or High Drive (16mA). The maximum output
frequency is determined by the power supply voltage
as shown below:
Clock Output (CLK1)
The CLK1 feature allows the PL611s-26 to have an
additional clock output. This output can be
programmed to one of the following:
F
REF
- Reference (Ref Clk ) Frequency
F
REF
/ 2
CLK0
CLK0 / 2
Frequency Select (FSEL)
The Frequency Select (FSEL) feature allows the
PL611s-26 to switch between two pre-programmed
outputs allowing the device “On the Fly” frequency
switching. The FSEL pin incorporates a pull up
resistor giving a default condition of logic “1”.
Output Enable (OE)
The Output Enable feature allows the user to enable
and disable the clock output(s) by toggling the OE
pin. The OE pin incorporates a pull up resistor
giving a default condition of logic “1”.
Power-Down Control (PDB)
The Power Down (PDB) feature allows the user to
put the PL611s-26 into “Sleep Mode”. When
activated (logic ‘0’), PDB ‘Disables the PLL, the
oscillator circuitry, counters, and all other active
circuitry. In Power Down mode the IC consumes
<50µA of power. The PDB pin incorporates a pull
up resistor giving a default condition of logic “1”.
