ADVANCE INFORMATION
Because the external XO clock input is used as the reference input for the BAW APLL and conventional APLL calibration, the XO input amplitude and frequency must be stable before the start of VCO calibration to provide successful PLL lock and output start-up. If the XO clock is not stable prior to VCO calibration, the VCO calibration can fail and prevent PLL lock and output clock start-up.
If the XO clock has a slow start-up time or has glitches on power-up (due to a slow or non-monotonic power supply ramp, for example), TI recommends to delay the start of VCO calibration until after the XO is stable. This can be achieved by delaying the PD# low-to-high transition until after the XO clock has stabilized using one of the methods described in Power Up From Split-Supply Rails. Issuing a device soft-reset is also possible after the XO clock has stabilized to manually trigger the VCO calibration and PLL start-up sequence.
The BAW APLL/VCBO is factory calibrated and is not sensitive to an invalid XO reference start-up. Upon a valid XO reference, the BAW APLL/VCBO can acquire lock. When the BAW APLL/VCBO is used in conjunction with the paired DPLL, the XO must be valid before the paired DPLL reference is validated.
