PRODUCTION DATA
When DPLL operation is enabled and the DPLL is locked, the DPLL reference inputs (INx pins) determine the frequency stability and accuracy of the output clocks. The clock source on the XO pin determines the free-run and holdover frequency stability and accuracy of the output clocks. The VCBO determines the BAW APLL output clock phase noise and jitter performance over the 12kHz to 20MHz integration band, regardless of the frequency and jitter of the XO pin input. This increased immunity from reference noise degradation allows the BAW APLL to use a cost-effective, low-frequency TCXO or OCXO as the external XO input while still maintaining standards-compliant frequency stability and low loop bandwidth (≤10Hz) required for SyncE and PTP synchronization applications. The other APLLThe other APLLs contain a conventional LC-type VCO which can be optimized for best jitter performance over the DC to 100kHz integration band by using a wide loop bandwidth with a clean reference and a high phase detector frequency. When encountering system performance limitations arising from XO frequency or phase noise, there are unique cascading options to provide a clean high frequency reference for the LC APLL The LMK5C23208A allows the user to select the divided output from the VCBO (BAW APLL Cascaded) which can significantly reduce the LC APLL output RMS jitter.
If DCO mode is enabled on a DPLL, a frequency deviation step value (FDEV) can be programmed and used to adjust (increment or decrement) the FB divider numerator of the DPLL. The DCO frequency adjustment effectively propagates through the APLL domain to the output clocks and any cascaded DPLL orAPLL domains.
The programmed DPLL loop bandwidth (BWDPLL) must be lower than all of the following:
