IDT8T49N222I
General Description
The IDT8T49N222I is a highly flexible FemtoClock® NG general
purpose, low phase noise Frequency Translator / Synthesizer with
alarm and monitoring functions suitable for networking and
communications applications. It is able to generate any output
frequency in the 7.29MHz to 833.33MHz range and most output
frequencies in the 925MHz to 1200MHz range (see Table 3A for
details). A wide range of input reference clocks and a range of
low-cost fundamental mode crystal frequencies may be used as the
source for the output frequency.
The IDT8T49N222I has three operating modes to support a very
broad spectrum of applications:

Synthesizes output frequencies from a 16MHz - 40MHz
fundamental mode crystal.
Fractional feedback division is used, so there are no
requirements for any specific crystal frequency to produce the
desired output frequency with a high degree of accuracy.
Applications: PCI Express, Computing, General Purpose
Translates any input clock in the 16MHz - 710MHz frequency
range into any supported output frequency.
This mode has a high PLL loop bandwidth in order to track input
reference changes, such as Spread-Spectrum Clock
modulation, so it will not attenuate much jitter on the input
reference.
Applications: Networking & Communications.
Translates any input clock in the 8kHz –710MHz frequency
range into any supported output frequency.
This mode supports PLL loop bandwidths in the 10Hz - 580Hz
range and makes use of an external crystal to provide
significant jitter attenuation.

This device provides a factory-programmed default power-up
configuration burned into One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory.
The configuration is specified by the customer and is programmed by
IDT during the final test phase from an on-hand stock of blank
devices.
To implement other configurations, these power-up default settings
can be overwritten after power-up using the I
2
C interface and the
device can be completely reconfigured. However, these settings
would have to be written every time the device powers-up.

IDT8T49N222I Data Sheet
FemtoClock® NG Universal Frequency Translator
Functional Description
The IDT8T49N222I is designed to provide two output frequencies
almost anywhere within its supported output frequency range
(7.29MHz to 1200MHz) from any input source in the supported input
frequency range (8kHz to 710MHz). It is capable of synthesizing
frequencies from a crystal or crystal oscillator source. The output
frequency is generated regardless of the relationship to the input
frequency. The output frequency will be exactly the required
frequency in most cases. In most others, it will only differ from the
desired frequency by a few ppb. IDT configuration software will
indicate the frequency error, if any. The IDT8T49N222I can translate
the desired output frequency from one of two input clocks. Again, no
relationship is required between the input and output frequencies in
order to translate to the output clock rate. In this frequency translation
mode, a low-bandwidth, jitter attenuation option is available that
makes use of an external fixed-frequency crystal or crystal oscillator
to translate from a noisy input source. If the input clock is known to
be fairly clean or if some modulation on the input needs to be tracked,
then the high-bandwidth frequency translation mode can be used,
without the need for the external crystal.
The input clock references and crystal input are monitored
continuously and appropriate alarms are raised both as register bits
and hard-wired pins in the event of any out-of-specification conditions
arising. Clock switching is supported in manual, revertive &
non-revertive modes.
The IDT8T49N222I has one factory-programmed configuration that
sets the default operating state after reset. These defaults may be
over-written by I
2
C register access at any time, but those over-written
settings will be lost on power-down. Please contact IDT if a specific
set of power-up default settings is desired. Users that have a custom
configuration programmed may not require I
2
C access.
Please make use of IDT-provided configuration tools to determine the
best operating settings for the desired configurations of the device.
Please refer to the Universal Frequency Translator Family
Programming Guide if further details are required.
Operating Modes
The IDT8T49N222I has three operating modes which are set by the
MODE_SEL[1:0] bits. There are two frequency translator modes -
low bandwidth and high bandwidth and a frequency synthesizer
mode.
Please make use of IDT-provided configuration applications to
determine the best operating settings for the desired configurations
of the device.
Output Dividers & Supported Output Frequencies
The internal VCO is capable of operating in a range from 1.850GHz
up to 2.5GHz. The output divider stages N0[7:0] and N1[7:0] are
limited to selection of integers from 2 to 254. Please refer to Table 3A
for the recommended values of N applicable to the desired output
frequency.
