DESCRIPTION
The SY89529L is a high-speed, precision PLL-based
LVPECL clock synthesizer with spread-spectrum
modulation control. With an external 16.66MHz crystal
providing a reference frequency to the internal PLL, the
differential PECL output frequency will be 200MHz with
< 30ps (20ps typ.) peak-to-peak, cycle-to-cycle output
jitter. The SY89529L spread-spectrum mode operates with
a 30kHz triangle modulation with 0.5% down-spread (+0.0%/
–0.5%). When spread-spectrum is activated, the output
signal is modulated which spreads the peak amplitudes
and, thus, decreases EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference).

control pins maintain device control. For spread-spectrum
operation, leave SSC_0 and SSC_1 pins floating (default is
spread ON). To reconfigure the device, simply change the
SSC and the device will respond dynamically.

SY89529L
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION AND TEST MODES
Introduction
The SY89529L supports three operational modes, as shown
in Table 1, page 2. The three modes are spread-spectrum
clocking (SSC), non-spread-spectrum clock, and a test mode
dynamically controlled with the SSC_Control pins. Unlike
other synthesizers, the SY89529L can change spread-
spectrum operation on the fly.
In SSC mode, the output clock is modulated (30KHz,
triangle waveform) in order to achieve a reduction in EMI. In
the PLL-bypass test mode, the PLL is disconnected as the
source to the differential output, thus allowing an external
source to be connected to the TEST INPUT pin. This is useful
for in-circuit testing by enabling the differential output to be
driven at a lower frequency.
Crystal Input and Oscillator Interface
The SY89529L features a fully integrated on-board oscillator
to minimize system implementation costs. The oscillator is a
series resonant, multivibrator type design, and thus, a series-
resonant crystal is preferred, but not required.
A parallel-resonant crystal can be used with the SY89529L
with only a minor error in the desired frequency. A parallel-
resonant mode crystal used in a series resonant circuit will
exhibit a frequency of oscillation a few hundred ppm lower
than specified, a few hundred ppm translates to KHz
inaccuracies. In a general computer application this level of
inaccuracy is immaterial.
As the oscillator is somewhat sensitive to loading on its
inputs, the user is advised to mount the crystal as close to the
SY89529L as possible to avoid any board level parasitics. In
addition, trace lengths should be matched. Figure 1 shows
how to interface with a crystal. Table 2 illustrates the crystal
specifications. If a start-up problem occurs, consider adding a
10pf capacitor across XTAL1 and XTAL2.

Loop Filter Design
The filter for any Phase Locked Loop (PLL) based device
deserves special attention. SY89529L provides filter pins for
an external filter. A simple three-component passive filter is
required for achieving ultra low jitter. Figure 2 shows the
recommended three-components. Due to the differential
design, the filter is connected between LOOP_FILTER and
LOOP_REF pins. With this configuration, extremely high
supply noise rejection is achieved. It is important that the filter
circuit and filter pins be isolated from any non-common mode
coupling plane.
