Detailed Description

Overview

The LMK04828-EP device is very flexible in meeting many application requirements. The typical use case for the LMK04828-EP is as a cascaded dual loop jitter cleaner for JESD204B systems. However, traditional (non-JESD204B) systems are possible with use of the large SYSREF divider to produce a low frequency. Note that while the Device Clock outputs (DCLKoutX) do not provide LVCMOS outputs, the OSCout may be used to provide LVCMOS outputs at DCLKout6 or DCLKout8 frequency using the feedback mux.

In addition to dual loop operation, by powering down various blocks the LMK04828-EP may be configured for single loop or clock distribution modes also.

Jitter Cleaning

The dual loop PLL architecture of the LMK04828-EP provides the lowest jitter performance over a wide range of output frequencies and phase noise integration bandwidths for clock inputs with unknown signal quality or low frequency. The first stage PLL (PLL1) is driven by an external reference clock and uses an external VCXO or tunable crystal to provide a frequency accurate, low phase noise reference clock for the second stage frequency multiplication PLL (PLL2).

PLL1 uses a narrow loop bandwidth (typically 10 Hz to 300 Hz) to retain the frequency accuracy of the reference clock input signal while at the same time suppressing the higher offset frequency phase noise that the reference clock may have accumulated along its path or from other circuits. This “cleaned” reference clock provides the reference input to PLL2.

The low phase noise reference provided to PLL2 allows PLL2 to operate with a wide loop bandwidth (typically 50 kHz to 200 kHz). The loop bandwidth for PLL2 is chosen to "minimize noise contribution from both PLL and VCO.

Ultra-low jitter is achieved by allowing the phase noise of the external VCXO or crystal to dominate the final output phase noise at low offset frequencies, and thephase noise of the internal VCO to dominate the final output phase noise at high offset frequencies. This results in best overall phase noise and jitter performance.

JEDEC JESD204B Support

The LMK04828-EP provides support for JEDEC JESD204B. The LMK04828-EP will clock up to seven JESD204B targets using seven device clocks (DCLKoutX) and seven SYSREF clocks (SDCLKoutY). Each device clock is grouped with a SYSREF clock.

It is also possible to reprogram SYSREF clocks to behave as extra device clocks for applications which have non-JESD204B clock requirements.

Three PLL1 Redundant Reference Inputs (CLKin0/CLKin0*, CLKin1/CLKin1*, and CLKin2/CLKin2*)

The LMK04828-EP has up to three reference clock inputs for PLL1: they are CLKin0, CLKin1, and CLKin2. The active clock is chosen based on CLKin_SEL_MODE. Automatic or manual switching can occur between the inputs.

CLKin0, CLKin1, and CLKin2 each have their own PLL1 R dividers.

CLKin1 is shared for use as an external 0-delay feedback (FBCLKin), or for use with an external VCO (Fin).

CLKin2 is shared for use as OSCout. To use power-down OSCout, see VCO_MUX, OSCout_MUX, OSCout_FMT.

Fast manual switching between reference clocks is possible with a external pins CLKin_SEL0 and CLKin_SEL1.

VCXO or Crystal Buffered Output

The LMK04828-EP provides OSCout, which by default is a buffered copy of the PLL1 feedback and PLL2 reference input. This reference input is typically a low noise VCXO or Crystal. When using a VCXO, this output can be used to clock external devices such as microcontrollers, FPGAs, CPLDs, and so forth, before the LMK04828-EP is programmed.

The OSCout buffer output type is programmable to LVDS, LVPECL, or LVCMOS.

The VCXO or Crystal buffered output can be synchronized to the VCO clock distribution outputs by using Cascaded 0-Delay Mode. The buffered output of VCXO/Crystal has deterministic phase relationship with CLKin.

Frequency Holdover

The LMK04828-EP supports holdover operation to keep the clock outputs on frequency with minimum drift when the reference is lost until a valid reference clock signal is re-established.

PLL2 Integrated Loop Filter Poles

The LMK04828-EP features programmable 3rd and 4th order loop filter poles for PLL2. These internal resistors and capacitor values may be selected from a fixed range of values to achieve either a 3rd or 4th order loop filter response. The integrated programmable resistors and capacitors compliment external components mounted near the chip.

These integrated components can be effectively disabled by programming the integrated resistors and capacitors to their minimum values.

Internal VCOs

The LMK04828-EP has two internal VCOs, selected by VCO_MUX. The output of the selected VCO is routed to the Clock Distribution Path. This same selection is also fed back to the PLL2 phase detector through a prescaler and N-divider.

External VCO Mode

The Fin/Fin* input allows an external VCO to be used with PLL2 of the LMK04828-EP.

Using an external VCO reduces the number of available clock inputs by one.

Clock Distribution

The LMK04828-EP features a total of 14 PLL2 clock outputs driven from the internal or external VCO.

All PLL2 clock outputs have programmable output types. They can be programmed to LVPECL, LVDS, or HSDS, or LCPECL.

If OSCout is included in the total number of clock outputs the LMK04828-EP is able to distribute, then up to 15 differential clocks. OSCout may be a buffered version of OSCin, DCLKout6, DCLKout8, or SYSREF.

The following sections discuss specific features of the clock distribution channels that allow the user to control various aspects of the output clocks.

Device Clock Divider

Each device clock, DCLKoutX, has a single clock output divider. The divider supports a divide range of 1 to 32 (even and odd) with 50% output duty cycle using duty cycle correction mode. The output of this divider may also be directed to SDCLKoutY, where Y = X + 1.

SYSREF Clock Divider

The SYSREF clocks, SDCLKoutY, all share a common divider. The divider supports a divide range of 8 to 8191 (even and odd).

Device Clock Delay

The device clocks include both a analog and digital delay for phase adjustment of the clock outputs.

The analog delay allows a nominal 25 ps step size and range from 0 to 575 ps of total delay. Enabling the analog delay adds a nominal 500 ps of delay in addition to the programmed value.

The digital delay allows a group of outputs to be delayed from 4 to 32 VCO cycles. The delay step can be as small as half the period of the clock distribution path. For example, 2-GHz VCO frequency results in 250-ps coarse tuning steps. The coarse (digital) delay value takes effect on the clock outputs after a SYNC event.

There are two different ways to use the digital delay.

  1. Fixed Digital Delay - Allows all the outputs to have a known phase relationship upon a SYNC event. Typically performed at start-up.
  2. Dynamic Digital Delay - Allows the phase relationships of clocks to change while clocks continue to operate.

SYSREF Delay

The global SYSREF divider includes a digital delay block which allows a global phase shift with respect to the other clocks.

Each local SYSREF clock output includes both an analog and additional local digital delay for unique phase adjustment of each SYSREF clock.

The local analog delay allows for 150-ps steps.

The local digital delay and SYSREF_HS bit allows the each individual SYSREF output to be delayed from, 1.5 to 11 VCO cycles. The delay step can be as small as half the period of the clock distribution path by using the DCLKoutX_HS bit. For example, 2-GHz VCO frequency results in 250-ps coarse tuning steps.

Glitchless Half Step and Glitchless Analog Delay

The device clocks include a features to ensure glitchless operation of the half step and analog delay operations when enabled.

Programmable Output Formats

For increased flexibility, all LMK04828-EP device and SYSREF clock outputs (DCLKoutX and SDCLKoutY) can be programmed to an LVDS, HSDS, LVPECL, or LCPECL output type. The OSCout can be programmed to an LVDS, LVPECL, or LVCMOS output type.

Any LVPECL output type can be programmed to 1600-mVpp or 2000-mVpp amplitude levels. The 2000-mVpp LVPECL output type is a Texas Instruments proprietary configuration that produces a 2000-mVpp differential swing for compatibility with many data converters and is also known as 2VPECL.

LCPECL allows for DC-coupling SYSREF to low voltage converters.

Clock Output Synchronization

Using the SYNC input causes all active clock outputs to share a rising edge as programmed by fixed digital delay.

The SYNC event must occur for digital delay values to take effect.

0-Delay

The LMK04828-EP supports two types of 0-delay.

  1. Cascaded 0-delay
  2. Nested 0-delay

Cascaded 0-delay mode establishes a fixed deterministic phase relationship of the phase of the PLL2 input clock (OSCin) to the phase of a clock selected by the feedback mux. The 0-delay feedback may performed with an internal feedback from CLKout6, CLKout8, SYSREF, or with an external feedback loop into the FBCLKin port as selected by the FB_MUX. Because OSCin has a fixed deterministic phase relationship to the feedback clock, OSCout will also have a fixed deterministic phase relationship to the feedback clock. In this mode PLL1 input clock (CLKinX) also has a fixed deterministic phase relationship to PLL2 input clock (OSCin), this results in a fixed deterministic phase relationship between all clocks from CLKinX to the clock outputs.

Nested 0-delay mode establishes a fixed deterministic phase relationship of the phase of the PLL1 input clock (CLKinX) to the phase of a clock selected by the feedback mux. The 0-delay feedback may performed with an internal feedback from CLKout6, CLKout8, SYSREF, or with an external feedback loop into the FBCLKin port as selected by the FB_MUX.

Without using 0-delay mode there will be n possible fixed phase relationships from clock input to clock output depending on the clock output divide value.

Using an external 0-delay feedback reduces the number of available clock inputs by one.

Status Pins

The LMK04828-EP provides status pins which can be monitored for feedback or in some cases used for input depending upon device programming. For example:

  • The CLKin_SEL0 pin may indicate the LOS (loss-of-signal) for CLKin0.
  • The CLKin_SEL1 pin may be an input for selecting the active clock input.
  • The Status_LD1 pin may indicate if the device is locked.
  • The Status_LD2 pin may indicate if PLL2 is locked.

The status pins can be programmed to a variety of other outputs including PLL divider outputs, combined PLL lock detect signals, PLL1 Vtune railing, readback, and so forth. Refer to the programming section of this data sheet for more information.

Feature Description

SYNC/SYSREF

The SYNC and SYSREF signals share the same clocking path. To properly use SYNC or SYSREF for JESD204B, it is important to understand the SYNC and SYSREF system. Figure 7 illustrates the detailed diagram of a clock output block with SYNC circuitry included. Figure 8 illustrates the interconnects and highlights some important registers used in controlling the device for SYNC and SYSREF purposes.

To reset or synchronize a divider, the following conditions must be met:

  1. SYNC_EN must be set. This ensures proper operation of the SYNC circuitry.
  2. SYSREF_MUX and SYNC_MODE must be set to a proper combination to provide a valid SYNC or SYSREF signal.
    • If SYSREF block is being used, the SYSREF_PD bit must be clear.
    • If the SYSREF Pulser is being used, the SYSREF_PLSR_PD bit must be clear.
    • For each SDCLKoutY being used for SYSREF, respective SDCLKoutY_PD bits must be cleared.
  3. SYSREF_DDLY_PD and DCLKoutX_DDLY_PD bits must be clear to power up the digital delay circuitry during SYNC as use requires.
  4. The SYNC_DISX bit must be clear to allow SYNC/SYSREF signal to divider circuit. The SYSREF_MUX register selects the SYNC source which resets the SYSREF and CLKoutX dividers provided the corresponding SYNC_DISX bit is clear.
  5. Other bits which impact the operation of SYNC signal, such as SYNC_1SHOT_EN, may be set as desired.

Table 2 illustrates the some possible combinations of SYSREF_MUX and SYNC_MODE.

How To Enable SYSREF

Table 3 summarizes the bits needed to make SYSREF functionality operational.

Table 3. SYSREF Bits

REGISTER FIELD VALUE DESCRIPTION
0x140 SYSREF_PD 0 Must be clear, power-up SYSREF circuitry.
0x140 SYSREF_DDLY_PD 0 Must be clear to power-up digital delay circuitry during initial SYNC to ensure deterministic timing.
0x143 SYNC_EN 1 Must be set, enable SYNC.
0x143 SYSREF_CLR 1 → 0 Do not hold local SYSREF DDLY block in reset except at start.
Anytime SYSREF_PD = 1 because of user programming or device RESET, it is necessary to set SYSREF_CLR for 15 VCO clock cycles to clear the local SYSREF digital delay. Once cleared, SYSREF_CLR must be cleared to allow SYSREF to operate.

Enabling JESD204B operation involves synchronizing all the clock dividers with the SYSREF divder, then configuring the actual SYSREF functionality.

Setup of SYSREF Example

The following procedure is a programming example for a system which is to operate with a 3000 MHz VCO frequency. Use DCLKout0 and DCLKout2 to drive converters at 1500 MHz. Use DCLKout4 to drive an FPGA at 150 MHz. Synchronize the converters and FPGA using a two SYSREF pulses at 10 MHz.

  1. Program registers 0x000 to 0x1fff as desired, but follow the Recommended Programming Sequence section for out-of-order registers. Key to prepare for SYSREF operations:
    1. Prepare for manual SYNC: SYNC_POL = 0, SYNC_MODE = 1, SYSREF_MUX = 0
    2. Set up output dividers as per example: DCLKout0_DIV and DCLKout2_DIV = 2 for frequency of 1500 MHz. DCLKout4_DIV = 20 for frequency of 150 MHz.
    3. Set up output dividers as per example: SYSREF_DIV = 300 for 10 MHz SYSREF
    4. Set up SYSREF: SYSREF_PD = 0, SYSREF_DDLY_PD = 0, DCLKout0_DDLY_PD = 0, DCLKout2_DDLY_PD = 0, DCLKout4_DDLY_PD = 0, SYNC_EN = 1, SYSREF_PLSR_PD = 0, SYSREF_PULSE_CNT = 1 (2 pulses). SDCLKout1_PD = 0, SDCLKout3_PD = 0
    5. Clear Local SYSREF DDLY: SYSREF_CLR = 1.
  2. Establish deterministic phase relationships between SYSREF and Device Clock for JESD204B:
    1. Set device clock and SYSREF divider digital delays: DCLKout0_DDLY_CNTH, DCLKout0_DDLY_CNTL, DCLKout2_DDLY_CNTH, DCLKout2_DDLY_CNTL, DCLKout4_DDLY_CNTH, DCLKout4_DDLY_CNTL, SYSREF_DDLY.
    2. Set device clock digital delay half steps: DCLKout0_HS, DCLKout2_HS, DCLKout4_HS.
    3. Set SYSREF clock digital delay as required to achieve known phase relationships: SDCLKout1_DDLY, SDCLKout3_DDLY, SDCLKout5_DDLY.
    4. To allow SYNC to affect dividers: SYNC_DIS0 = 0, SYNC_DIS2 = 0, SYNC_DIS4 = 0, SYNC_DISSYSREF = 0
    5. Perform SYNC by toggling SYNC_POL = 1 then SYNC_POL = 0.
  3. Disable SYNC from resetting these dividers when the dividers are synchronized. It is not desired for SYSREF to reset the divider of the SYSREF or the dividers of the output clocks.
    1. Prevent SYNC (SYSREF) from affecting dividers: SYNC_DIS0 = 1, SYNC_DIS2 = 1, SYNC_DIS4 = 1, SYNC_DISSYSREF = 1.
  4. Release reset of local SYSREF digital delay.
    1. SYSREF_CLR = 0. Note this bit needs to be set for only 15 VCO clocks after SYSREF_PD = 0.
  5. Set SYSREF operation.
    1. Allow pin SYNC event to start pulser: SYNC_MODE = 2.
    2. Select pulser as SYSREF signal: SYSREF_MUX = 2.
  6. Complete! Now asserting the SYNC pin, or toggling SYNC_POL will result in a series of two SYSREF pulses.

SYSREF_CLR

The local digital delay of the SDCLKout is implemented as a shift buffer. To ensure no unwanted pulses occur at this SYSREF output at start-up, when using SYSREF, users must clear the buffers by setting SYSREF_CLR = 1 for 15 VCO clock cycles. The SYSREF_CLR bit is set after a POR or software reset, so it must be cleared before the SYSREF output is used.

SYSREF Modes

SYSREF Pulser

This mode allows for the output of 1, 2, 4, or 8 SYSREF pulses for every SYNC pin event or SPI programming. This implements the gapped periodic functionality of the JEDEC JESD204B specification.

When in SYSREF Pulser mode, programming the field SYSREF_PULSE_CNT in register 0x13E results in the pulser sending the programmed number of pulses.

Continuous SYSREF

This mode allows for continuous output of the SYSREF clock.

Continuous operation of SYSREF is not recommended due to crosstalk from the SYSREF clock to device clock. JESD204B is designed to operate with a single burst of pulses to initialize the system at start-up after which it is theoretically not required to send another SYSREF because the system continues to operate with deterministic phases.

If continuous operation of SYSREF is required, consider using a SYSREF output from a non-adjacent output or SYSREF from the OSCout pin to minimize crosstalk.

SYSREF Request

This mode allows an external source to synchronously turn on or off a continuous stream of SYSREF pulses using pin 6, the SYNC/SYSREF_REQ pin.

Setup the mode by programming SYSREF_REQ_EN = 1 and SYSREF_MUX = 2 (Pulser). The pulser does not need to be powered for this mode of operation.

When the SYSREF_REQ pin is asserted, the SYSREF_MUX will synchronously be set to continuous mode providing continuous pulses at the SYSREF frequency until the SYSREF_REQ pin is un-asserted and the final SYSREF pulse will complete sending synchronously.

Digital Delay

Digital (coarse) delay allows a group of outputs to be delayed by 4 to 32 VCO cycles. The delay step can be as small as half the period of the VCO cycle by using the DCLKoutX_HS bit. There are two different ways to use the digital delay:

  1. Fixed digital delay
  2. Dynamic digital delay

In both delay modes, the regular clock divider is substituted with an alternative divide value. The substitute divide value consists of two values, DCLKoutX_DDLY_CNTH and DCLKoutX_DDLY_CNTL. The minimum _CNTH or _CNTL value is 2 and the maximum _CNTH or _CNTL value is 16. This results in a minimum alternative divide value of 4 and a maximum of 32.

Fixed Digital Delay

Fixed digital delay value takes effect on the clock outputs after a SYNC event. As such, the outputs are LOW for a while during the SYNC event. Applications that cannot accept clock breakup when adjusting digital delay should use dynamic digital delay.

Fixed Digital Delay Example

Assume the device already has the following initial configurations, and the application should delay DCLKout2 by one VCO cycle compared to DCLKout0.

  • VCO frequency = 2949.12 MHz
  • DCLKout0 = 368.64 MHz (DCLKout0_DIV = 8)
  • DCLKout2 = 368.64 MHz (DCLKout2_DIV = 8)

The following steps should be followed

  1. Set DCLKout0_DDLY_CNTH = 4 and DCLKout2_DDLY_CNTH = 4. First part of delay for each clock.
  2. Set DCLKout0_DDLY_CNTL = 4 and DCLKout2_DDLY_CNTL = 5. Second part of delay for each clock.
  3. Set DCLKout0_DDLY_PD = 0 and DCLKout2_DDLY_PD = 0. Power up the digital delay circuit.
  4. Set SYNC_DIS0 = 0 and SYNC_DIS2 = 0. Allow the output to be synchronized.
  5. Perform SYNC by asserting, then unasserting SYNC. Either by using SYNC_POL bit or the SYNC pin.
  6. Now that the SYNC is complete, to save power it is allowable to power down DCLKout0_DDLY_PD = 1 and/or DCLKout2_DDLY_PD = 1.
  7. Set SYNC_DIS0 = 1 and SYNC_DIS2 = 1. To prevent the output from being synchronized, very important for steady state operation when using JESD204B.
LMK04828-EP 30189010.gif Figure 9. Fixed Digital Delay Example

Dynamic Digital Delay

Dynamic digital delay allows the phase of clocks to be changed with respect to each other with little impact to the clock signal. This is accomplished by substituting the regular clock divider with an alternate divide value for one cycle. This substitution occurs a number of times equal to the value programmed into the DDLYd_STEP_CNT field for all outputs with DDLYdX_EN = 1 or DDLYd_SYSREF_EN = 1 (see DDLYd_SYSREF_EN, DDLYdX_EN) and DCLKoutX_DDLY_PD = 0 or SYSREF_DDLY_PD = 0.

  • By programming a larger alternate divider (delay) value, the phase of the adjusted outputs are delayed with respect to the other clocks.
  • By programming a smaller alternate divider (delay) value, the phase of the adjusted output advances with respect to the other clocks.

NOTE

When programming DDLYd_STEP_CNT to execute more than one step adjustment, the output frequency of the lowest frequency divider having dynamic digital delay enabled must be greater than or equal to 50 MHz to ensure every programmed step is taken. If not, DDLYd_STEP_CNT must be programmed with single step adjustments. When programming back-to-back single DDLYd_STEP_CNT adjustments, wait 70 ns + period of slowest clock for which dynamic digital delay is enabled between DDLYd_STEP_CNT register programmings. This note typically only applies to dynamic digital delay adjustments on the SYSREF divider.

Table 4 shows the recommended DCLKoutX_DDLY_CNTH and DCLKoutX_DDLY_CNTL alternate divide setting for delay by one VCO cycle. The clock outputs high during the DCLKoutX_DDLY_CNTH time to permit a continuous output clock. The clock output is low during the DCLKoutX_DDLY_CNTL time.

When using dynamic digital delay, before the divider SYNC occurs, it is required to setup DCLKoutX_DDLY_CNTH/CNTL and DCLKoutX_DDLYd_CNTH/CNTL values to be the same. After a divider SYNC it is not permitted to change either of these values. If a different phase alignment is required that what is programmed, use the DDLYdX_EN/DDLYd_SYSREF_EN bits to toggle which dividers respond to a dynamic digital delay and execute dynamic digital delay adjustments so outputs have the required phase.

To achieve _CNTH/_CNTL value of 16, 0 must be programmed into the _CNTH/_CNTL field.

Single and Multiple Dynamic Digital Delay Example

In this example, two separate adjustments are made to the device clocks. In the first adjustment, a single delay of one VCO cycle occurs between DCLKout2 and DCLKout0. In the second adjustment, two delays of one VCO cycle occurs between DCLKout2 and DCLKout0. At this point in the example, DCLKout2 is delayed three VCO cycles behind DCLKout0.

Assuming the device already has the following initial configurations and has had the dividers synchronized:

  • VCO frequency: 2949.12 MHz
  • DCLKout0 = 368.64 MHz, DCLKout0_DIV = 8
  • DCLKout2 = 368.64 MHz, DCLKout2_DIV = 8

The following steps illustrate the example above:

1. DCLKout2_DDLY_CNTH = 4 and DCLKout2_DDLYd_CNTH = 4. The delays of DCLKout2 and DCLKout0 are set before divider SYNC. Same settings were used for DLCKout0.

2. DCLKout2_DDLY_CNTL = 5 and DCLKout2_DDLYd_CNTL = 5. The delays of DCLKout2 and DCLKout0 are set before divider SYNC. Same settings were used for DLCKout0. Together with the high count, this gives a substituted divide of 9.

3. Set DCLKout2_DDLY_PD = 0 if not already powered up. This enable the digital delay for DCLKout2. Note it is required for the DDLY_PD = 0 during SYNC to ensure deterministic phase from the SYNC.

4. Set DDLYd2_EN = 1. Enable dynamic digital delay for DCLKout2.

5. Set DDLYd_STEP_CNT = 1. This begins the first adjustment.

Before step 5, DCLKout2 clock edge is aligned with DCLKout0.

After step 5, DCLKout2 counts four VCO cycles high and then five VCO cycles low as programmed by DCLKout2_DDLYd_CNTH and DCLKout2_DDLYd_CNTL fields, effectively delaying DCLKout2 by one VCO cycle with respect to DCLKout0. This is the first adjustment.

6. Set DDLYd_STEP_CNT = 2. This begins the second adjustment.

Before step 6, DCLKout2 clock edge was delayed 1 VCO cycle from DCLKout0.

After step 6, DCLKout2 counts four VCO cycles high and then five VCO cycles low as programmed by DCLKout2_DDLYd_CNTH and DCLKout2_DDLYd_CNTL fields twice, but not necessarily back to back. In total this delays DCLKout2 by two VCO cycles with respect to DCLKout0. This is the second adjustment illustrating multi-step.

SYSREF to Device Clock Alignment

To ensure proper JESD204B operation, the timing relationship between the SYSREF and the Device clock must be adjusted for optimum setup and hold time. The tsJESD204B defines the time between SYSREF and Device Clock for a specific condition of SYSREF divider and Device Clock digital delay. From this point, the SYSREF_DDLY. SDCLKoutY_DDLY, DCLKoutX_DDLY_CNTH, DCLKoutDDLY_CNTL, and DCLKoutX_MUX, SDCKLoutX_ADLY, and so forth. can be adjusted to provide the required setup and hold time between SYSREF and Device Clock.

It is possible to digitally adjust the SYSREF up to 20 VCO cycles before the SYSREF. So for example with a 2949.12 MHz VCO frequency, tsJESD204B + 20 × (1/VCO Frequency) = –80 ps + 20 × (1/2949.12 MHz) = 6.7 ns.

Input Clock Switching

Manual, pin select, and automatic are three different kinds clock input switching modes can be set with the CLKin_SEL_MODE register.

Below is information about how the active input clock is selected and what causes a switching event in the various clock input selection modes.

Input Clock Switching - Manual Mode

When CLKin_SEL_MODE is 0, 1, or 2 then CLKin0, CLKin1, or CLKin2 respectively is always selected as the active input clock. Manual mode also overrides the EN_CLKinX bits such that the CLKinX buffer operates even if CLKinX is disabled with EN_CLKinX = 0.

If holdover is entered in this mode, then the device relocks to the selected CLKin upon holdover exit.

Input Clock Switching - Pin Select Mode

When CLKin_SEL_MODE is 3, the pins CLKin_SEL0 and CLKin_SEL1 select which clock input is active.

Configuring Pin Select Mode

The CLKin_SEL0_TYPE must be programmed to an input value for the CLKin_SEL0 pin to function as an input for pin select mode.

The CLKin_SEL1_TYPE must be programmed to an input value for the CLKin_SEL1 pin to function as an input for pin select mode.

If the CLKin_SELX_TYPE is set as output, the pin input value is considered LOW.

The polarity of CLKin_SEL0 and CLKin_SEL1 input pins can be inverted with the CLKin_SEL_INV bit.

Table 5 defines which input clock is active depending on CLKin_SEL0 and CLKin_SEL1 state.

Table 5. Active Clock Input - Pin Select Mode, CLKin_SEL_INV = 0

PIN CLKin_SEL1 PIN CLKin_SEL0 ACTIVE CLOCK
Low Low CLKin0
Low High CLKin1
High Low CLKin2
High High Holdover

The pin select mode overrides the EN_CLKinX bits such that the CLKinX buffer operates even if CLKinX is disabled with EN_CLKinX = 0. To switch as fast as possible, the clock input buffers (EN_CLKinX = 1) that could be switched to must remain enabled..

Input Clock Switching - Automatic Mode

When CLKin_SEL_MODE is 4, the active clock is selected in round-robin order of enabled clock inputs starting upon an input clock switch event. The switching order of the clocks is CLKin0 → CLKin1 → CLKin2 → CLKin0, and so forth.

For a clock input to be eligible to be switched through, it must be enabled using EN_CLKinX.

Starting Active Clock

Upon programming this mode, the currently active clock remains active if PLL1 lock detect is high. To ensure a particular clock input is the active clock when starting this mode, program CLKin_SEL_MODE to the manual mode which selects the desired clock input (CLKin0, 1, or 2). Wait for PLL1 to lock PLL1_DLD = 1, then select this mode with CLKin_SEL_MODE = 4.

Digital Lock Detect

Both PLL1 and PLL2 support digital lock detect. Digital lock detect compares the phase between the reference path (R) and the feedback path (N) of the PLL. When the time error, which is phase error, between the two signals is less than a specified window size (ε) a lock detect count increments. When the lock detect count reaches a user specified value, PLL1_DLD_CNT or PLL2_DLD_CNT, lock detect is asserted true. Once digital lock detect is true, a single phase comparison outside the specified window causes digital lock detect to be asserted false. This is illustrated in Figure 11.

LMK04828-EP digital_lock_detect_flow_chart.gif Figure 11. Digital Lock Detect Flowchart

This incremental lock detect count feature functions as a digital filter to ensure that lock detect isn't asserted for only a brief time when the phases of R and N are within the specified tolerance for only a brief time during initial phase lock.

See Digital Lock Detect Frequency Accuracy for more detailed information on programming the registers to achieve a specified frequency accuracy in ppm with lock detect.

The digital lock detect signal can be monitored on the Status_LD1 or Status_LD2 pin. The pin may be programmed to output the status of lock detect for PLL1, PLL2, or both PLL1 and PLL2.

Calculating Digital Lock Detect Frequency Accuracy

See Digital Lock Detect Frequency Accuracy for more detailed information on programming the registers to achieve a specified frequency accuracy in ppm with lock detect.

The digital lock detect feature can also be used with holdover to automatically exit holdover mode. See Exiting Holdover for more info.

Holdover

Holdover mode causes PLL2 to stay locked on frequency with minimal frequency drift when an input clock reference to PLL1 becomes invalid. While in holdover mode, the PLL1 charge pump is TRI-STATED and a fixed tuning voltage is set on CPout1 to operate PLL1 in open loop.

Enable Holdover

Program HOLDOVER_EN = 1 to enable holdover mode.

Holdover mode can be configured to set the CPout1 voltage upon holdover entry to a fixed user defined voltage or a tracked voltage.

Fixed (Manual) CPout1 Holdover Mode

By programming MAN_DAC_EN = 1, then the MAN_DAC value is set on the CPout1 pin during holdover.

The user can optionally enable CPout1 voltage tracking (TRACK_EN = 1), read back the tracked DAC value, then re-program MAN_DAC value to a user desired value based on information from previous DAC read backs. This allows the most user control over the holdover CPout1 voltage, but also requires more user intervention.

Tracked CPout1 Holdover Mode

By programming MAN_DAC_EN = 0 and TRACK_EN = 1, the tracked voltage of CPout1 is set on the CPout1 pin during holdover. When the DAC has acquired the current CPout1 voltage, the DAC_Locked signal is set which may be observed on Status_LD1 or Status_LD2 pins by programming PLL1_LD_MUX or PLL2_LD_MUX respectively.

Updates to the DAC value for the Tracked CPout1 sub-mode occurs at the rate of the PLL1 phase detector frequency divided by (DAC_CLK_MULT × DAC_CLK_CNTR).

The DAC update rate should be programmed for ≤ 100 kHz to ensure DAC holdover accuracy.

The ability to program slow DAC update rates, for example one DAC update per 4.08 seconds when using 1024 kHz PLL1 phase detector frequency with DAC_CLK_MULT = 16,384 and DAC_CLK_CNTR = 255, allows the device to look-back and set CPout1 at previous good CPout1 tuning voltage values before the event which caused holdover to occur.

The current voltage of DAC value can be read back using RB_DAC_VALUE, see RB_DAC_VALUE .

During Holdover

PLL1 is run in open loop mode.

  • PLL1 charge pump is set to TRI-STATE.
  • PLL1 DLD is un-asserted.
  • The HOLDOVER status is asserted
  • During holdover If PLL2 was locked prior to entry of holdover mode, PLL2 DLD continues to be asserted.
  • CPout1 voltage is set to:
    • a voltage set in the MAN_DAC register (MAN_DAC_EN = 1).
    • a voltage determined to be the last valid CPout1 voltage (MAN_DAC_EN = 0).
  • PLL1 attempts to lock with the active clock input.

The HOLDOVER status signal can be monitored on the Status_LD1 or Status_LD2 pin by programming the PLL1_DLD_MUX or PLL2_DLD_MUX register to Holdover Status.

Exiting Holdover

Holdover mode can be exited in one of two ways.

  • Manually, by programming the device from the host.
  • Automatically, By a clock operating within a specified ppm of the current PLL1 frequency on the active clock input.

Holdover Frequency Accuracy and DAC Performance

When in holdover mode, PLL1 runs in open-loop and the DAC sets the CPout1 voltage. If Fixed CPout1 mode is used, then the output of the DAC is a voltage dependant upon the MAN_DAC register. If Tracked CPout1 mode is used, then the output of the DAC is the voltage at the CPout1 pin before holdover mode was entered. When using Tracked mode and MAN_DAC_EN = 1, during holdover the DAC value is loaded with the programmed value in MAN_DAC, not the tracked value.

When in Tracked CPout1 mode, the DAC has a worst case tracking error of ±2 LSBs once PLL1 tuning voltage is acquired. The step size is approximately 3.2 mV, therefore the VCXO frequency error during holdover mode caused by the DAC tracking accuracy is ±6.4 mV × Kv, where Kv is the tuning sensitivity of the VCXO in use. Therefore, the accuracy of the system when in holdover mode in ppm is:

Equation 1. LMK04828-EP 30102359.gif

Example: consider a system with a 19.2-MHz clock input, a 153.6-MHz VCXO with a Kv of 17 kHz/V. The accuracy of the system in holdover in ppm is:

Equation 2. ±0.71 ppm = ±6.4 mV × 17 kHz/V × 1e6 / 153.6 MHz

It is important to account for this frequency error when determining the allowable frequency error window to cause holdover mode to exit.

Holdover Mode - Automatic Exit of Holdover

The LMK048xx device can be programmed to automatically exit holdover mode when the accuracy of the frequency on the active clock input achieves a specified accuracy. The programmable variables include PLL1_WND_SIZE and HOLDOVER_DLD_CNT.

See Digital Lock Detect Frequency Accuracy to calculate the register values to cause holdover to automatically exit upon reference signal recovery to within a user specified ppm error of the holdover frequency.

It is possible for the time to exit holdover to vary because the condition for automatic holdover exit is for the reference and feedback signals to have a time/phase error less than a programmable value. Because it is possible for two clock signals to be very close in frequency but not close in phase, it may take a long time for the phases of the clocks to align themselves within the allowable time/phase error before holdover exits.

Device Functional Modes

The following section describes the settings to enable various modes of operation for the LMK04828-EP. See Figure 7 and Figure 8 for visual diagrams of each mode.

The LMK04828-EP is a flexible device that can be configured for many different use cases. The following simplified block diagrams help show the user the different use cases of the device.

DUAL PLL

Figure 12 illustrates the typical use case of the LMK04828-EP in dual loop mode. In dual loop mode the reference to PLL1 from CLKin0, CLKin1, or CLKin2. An external VCXO or tunable crystal is used to provide feedback for the first PLL and a reference to the second PLL. This first PLL cleans the jitter with the VCXO or low cost tunable crystal by using a narrow loop bandwidth. The VCXO or tunable crystal output may be buffered through the OSCout port. The VCXO or tunable crystal is used as the reference to PLL2 and may be doubled using the frequency doubler. The internal VCO drives up to seven divide/delay blocks which drive up to 14 clock outputs.

Hitless switching and holdover functionality are optionally available when the input reference clock is lost. Holdover works by fixing the tuning voltage of PLL1 to the VCXO or tunable crystal.

It is also possible to use an external VCO in place of the internal VCO of the PLL2. In this case one less CLKin is available as a reference.

Figure 13 illustrates the use case of cascaded 0-delay dual loop mode. This configuration differs from dual loop mode Figure 12 in that the feedback for PLL2 is driven by a clock output instead of the VCO output. Figure 14 illustrates the use case of nested 0-delay dual loop mode. This configuration is similar to the dual PLL in DUAL PLL except that the feedback to the first PLL is driven by a clock output. This causes the clock outputs to have deterministic phase relationship with the clock input. Since all the clock outputs can be synchronized together, all the clock outputs can share the same deterministic phase relationship with the clock input signal. The feedback to PLL1 can be connected internally as shown using CLKout6, CLKout8, SYSREF, or externally using FBCLKin (CLKin1).

It is also possible to use an external VCO in place of the internal VCO of PLL2, but one less CLKin is available as a reference and external 0-delay feedback is not available.

Table 8 illustrates nested 0-delay mode. This mode is the same as cascaded except the clock out feedback is to PLL1. The CLKin and CLKout have the same deterministic phase relationship but the VCXO's phase is not deterministic to the CLKin or CLKouts.

Programming

LMK04828-EP devices are programmed using 24-bit registers. Each register consists of a 1-bit command field (R/W), a 2-bit multibyte field (W1, W0), a 13-bit address field (A12 to A0), and an 8-bit data field (D7 to D0). The contents of each register is clocked in MSB first (R/W), and the LSB (D0) last. During programming, the CS* signal is held low. The serial data is clocked in on the rising edge of the SCK signal. After the LSB is clocked in, the CS* signal goes high to latch the contents into the shift register. In general it is recommended to program registers in numeric order, for example 0x000 to 0x1FFF with exceptions as called out in Recommended Programming Sequence, to achieve proper device operation. This does not preclude the users ability to change single registers during operation.. Each register consists of one or more fields which control the device functionality. See electrical characteristics and Figure 1 for timing details.

R/W bit = 0 is for SPI write. R/W bit = 1 is for SPI read.

W1 and W0 shall be written as 0.

Recommended Programming Sequence

Registers are programmed in numeric order with 0x000 being the first and 0x1FFF being the last register programmed. The recommended programming sequence from POR involves:

  1. Program register 0x000 with RESET = 1.
  2. Program registers in numeric order from 0x000 to 0x165. Ensure the following register is programmed as follows:
    – 0x145 = 127 (0x7F)
  3. Program register 0x171 to 0xAA and 0x172 to 0x02 as required by OPT_REG_1 and OPT_REG_2.
  4. Program registers 0x17C and 0x17D as required by OPT_REG_1 and OPT_REG_2.
  5. Program registers 0x166 to 0x1FFF.

Program register 0x171, 0x172, 0x17C (OPT_REG_1) and 0x17D (OPT_REG_2) before programming PLL2 in registers: 0x166, 0x167, and 0x168 to optimize PLL2_N and VCO1 phase noise performance over temperature.

SPI LOCK

When writing to SPI_LOCK, registers 0x1FFD, 0x1FFE, and 0x1FFF should all always be written sequentially.

SYSREF_CLR

When using SYSREF output, SYSREF local digital delay block should be cleared using SYSREF_CLR bit. See SYSREF_CLR for more infoormation.

Device Register Descriptions

The following section details the fields of each register, the Power On Reset Defaults, and specific descriptions of each bit.

In some cases similar fields are located in multiple registers. In this case specific outputs may be designated as X or Y. In these cases, the X represents even numbers from 0 to 12 and the Y represents odd numbers from 1 to 13. In the case where X and Y are both used in a bit name, then Y = X + 1.
