10 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

10.1 Application Information

10.1.1 Start-Up Time Estimation

The CDCM9102 contains a low-noise clock generator that calibrates to an optimal operating point at device power up. To ensure proper device operation, the oscillator must be stable before the low-noise clock generator calibration procedure. Quartz-based oscillators can take up to 2 ms to stabilize; therefore, TI recommends that the application ensure that the RESET pin is de-asserted at least 5 ms after the power supply has finished ramping. This can be accomplished by controlling the RESET pin directly, or by applying a 47-nF capacitor to ground on the RESET pin (this provides a delay because the RESET pin includes a 150-kΩ pullup resistor.

The CDCM9102 start-up time can be estimated based on parameters defined in Table 5 and graphically shown in Figure 10.

Table 5. CDCM9102 Start-Up Time Dependencies

PARAMETER DEFINITION DESCRIPTION FORMULA OR METHOD OF DETERMINATION
tREF Reference clock period The reciprocal of the applied reference frequency in seconds CDCM9102 EQ_new_cas922.gif
tpul Power-up time (low limit) Power-supply rise time to low limit of power-on-reset trip point Time required for power supply to ramp to 2.27 V
tpuh Power-up time (high limit) Power supply rise time to high limit of power-on-reset trip point Time required for power supply to ramp to 2.64 V
trsu Reference start-up time After POR releases, the Colpitts oscillator is enabled. This start-up time is required for the oscillator to generate the requisite signal levels for the delay block to be clocked by the reference input. 500 μs best case and 800 μs worst case (for a crystal input)
tdelay Delay time Internal delay time generated from the reference clock. This delay provides time for the reference oscillator to stabilize. tdelay = 16,384 × tREF = 655 µs
tVCO_CAL VCO calibration time VCO calibration time generated from the reference clock. This process selects the operating point for the VCO based on the PLL settings. tVCO_CAL = 550 × tREF = 22 µs
tPLL_LOCK PLL lock time Time requried for PLL to lock within ±10 ppm of fREF The PLL settles in 12.5 μs

The CDCM9102 start-up time limits, tMAX and tMIN, can now be calculated with Equation 2 and Equation 3.

Equation 2. tMAX = tpuh + trsu + tdelay + tVCO_CAL + tPLL_LOCK
Equation 3. tMIN = tpul + trsu + tdelay + tVCO_CAL + tPLL_LOCK

10.1.2 Output Termination

The CDCM9102 is a 3.3-V clock driver which has the following options for the output type: LVPECL, LVDS, and LVCMOS.

10.1.3 LVPECL Termination

The CDCM9102 is an open emitter for LVPECL outputs. Therefore, proper biasing and termination is required to ensure correct operation of the device and to optimize signal integrity. The proper termination for LVPECL is 50 Ω to (Vcc-2) V but this DC voltage is not readily available on a board. Thus a Thevenin’s equivalent circuit is worked out for the LVPECL termination in both direct-coupled (DC) and AC-coupled cases, as shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12. TI recommends placing all resistive components close to either the driver end or the receiver end. If the supply voltages of the driver and receiver are different, AC coupling is required.

CDCM9102 AC_op_term_cas922.gif Figure 12. LVPECL Output Termination (AC-Coupled)

10.1.4 LVDS Termination

The proper LVDS termination for signal integrity over two 50-Ω lines is 100 Ω between the outputs on the receiver end. Either a direct-coupled (dc) termination or ac-coupled termination can be used for LVDS outputs, as shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14. TI recommends placing all resistive components close to either the driver end or the receiver end. If the supply voltages of the driver and receiver are different, AC coupling is required.

CDCM9102 AC_coupled_cas922.gif Figure 14. LVDS Output Termination (AC Coupling)

10.1.5 LVCMOS Termination

Series termination is a common method to maintain the signal integrity for LVCMOS drivers, if connected to a receiver with a high-impedance input. For series termination, a series resistor, Rs, is placed close to the driver, as shown in Figure 15. The sum of the driver impedance and Rs should be close to the transmission-line impedance, which is usually 50 Ω. Because the LVCMOS driver in the CDCM9102 has an impedance of 30 Ω, TI recommends Rs be 22 Ω to maintain proper signal integrity.

10.1.6 PCI Express Applications

Texas Instruments offers a complete clock solution for PCI Express applications. The CDCUN1208LP can be used to fan out reference clock generated by the CDCM9102 as shown in Figure 16.

10.2 Typical Application

10.2.1 Design Requirements

Consider a typical wired communications application, like a top-of-rack switch, which needs to clock PCI Express Gen 2 or 3 PHYs. For such asynchronous systems, the reference input can be a crystal. In such systems, the clocks are expected to be available upon power up without the need for any device-level programming. An example of clock input and output requirements is shown below:

  • Clock Input:
    • 25-MHz crystal
  • Clock Outputs:
    • 2× 100 MHz clock for PCI Express Gen 3 (8 GT/s), LVPECL

See Detailed Design Procedure for how to generate the required output frequencies for this application using the CDCM9102.

10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

Design of all aspects of the CDCM61004 is quite involved and software support is available to assist in part selection and phase noise simulation. This design procedure will give a quick outline of the process.

  1. Device Selection
    • The first step is to calculate the VCO frequency given the required output frequency. The device must be able to produce the VCO frequency that can be divided down to the required output frequency.
    • The WEBENCH Clock Architect Tool from TI will aid in the selection of the right device that meets the customer's output frequencies and format requirements.
  2. Device Configuration
    • The WEBENCH Clock Architect Tool attempts to maximize the phase detector frequency, use smallest dividers, and maximizes PLL bandwidth.

10.2.2.1 Device Selection

Use the WEBENCH Clock Architect Tool. Enter the required frequencies and formats into the tool. To use this device, find a solution using the CDCM9102.

10.2.2.1.1 Calculation Using LCM

In this example, the valid VCO frequency for CDCM9102 is 1.8 GHz.

10.2.2.2 Device Configuration

For this example, when using the WEBENCH Clock Architect Tool, the reference would have been manually entered as 25 MHz according to input frequency requirements. Enter the desired output frequencies and click on Generate Solutions. Select CDCM9102 from the solution list.

From the simulation page of the WEBENCH Clock Architect Tool, it can be seen that to maximize phase detector frequencies, the N divider is set to 24 and prescaler divider is set to 3. This results in a VCO frequency of
1.8 GHz. The output divider is set to 6. At this point the design meets all input and output frequency requirements and simulate performance on the clock outputs. Figure 18 shows the typical phase noise plot of the 100 MHz LVPECL output.
