family. Designed to fit in a small 6-pin DFN, or 6-pin
SOT package for high performance applications, t he
PL611s-27 offers very low phase noise, jitter, and
power consumption, while offering 2 clock outputs.
The Frequency Switching (FSEL) capability of
PL611s-27 allows for programming two sets of
frequencies, while the power down feature of
PL611s-27, when activated, allows the IC to
consume less than 10µA of power. PL611s-27’s
programming flexibility allows generating any output
using a reference input signal.

PL611s-27
1.8V to 3.3V PicoPLL
TM
Programmable Clock
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
PL611s-27 is a highly featured, very flexible, advanced programmable PLL design for high performance, low -
power, small form-factor applications. The PL611s -27 accepts a reference clock input of 1MHz to 200MHz and is
capable of producing two outputs up to 125MHz. This flexible design allows the PL611s -27 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-27 are mentioned below:
PLL Programming
The PLL in the PL611s -27 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 output of CLK0
can be configured as the PLL output (F
V CO
/(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 125MHz
(3.3V).
Clock Output (CLK1)
The CLK1 feature allows the PL611s -27 to have an
additional clock output. This output can be
programmed to one of the following:
F
REF
- Reference (Ref Clk) Frequency
CLK0
When using the OE function CLK1 will remain
“Always On” if programmed as F
REF
output and
will
not
be disabled when OE is pulled low. If CLK1 is
programmed to equal CLK0 then the output
will
disable when OE is pulled low. When using the PDB
function CLK1 will always be disabled along with
CLK0. The output drive level can be programmed to
Low Drive (4mA), Standard Drive (8mA) or High Drive
(16mA). The maximum output frequency is 125MHz
(3.3V).
Output Enable (OE)
The Output Enable feature allows the user to enabl e
and disable the CLK0 and/or CLK1 outputs by
toggling the OE pin.
Power-Down Control (PDB)
The Power Down (PDB) feature allows the user to
put the PL611s-27 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
<10µA of power.
Frequency Select (FSEL)
The Frequency Select (FSEL) feature allows th e
PL611s-27 to switch between two pre-programmed
banks allowing the device “On the Fly” frequency
switching.
