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.

Application Information

The CDCEx925 device is an easy-to-use high-performance, programmable CMOS clock synthesizer. it can be used as a crystal buffer, clock synthesizer with separate output supply pin. The CDCEx925 features an on-chip loop filter and Spread-spectrum modulation. Programming can be done through SPI, pin-mode, or using on-chip EEPROM. This section shows some examples of using CDCEx925 in various applications.

Typical Application

Figure 15 shows the use of the CDCEx925 devices for replacement of crystals and crystal oscillators on a Gigabit Ethernet Switch application.

Design Requirements

CDCEx925 supports spread spectrum clocking (SSC) with multiple control parameters:

  • Modulation amount (%)
  • Modulation frequency (>20 kHz)
  • Modulation shape (triangular)
  • Center spread / down spread (± or –)

Detailed Design Procedure

Spread Spectrum Clock (SSC)

Spread spectrum modulation is a method to spread emitted energy over a larger bandwidth. In clocking, spread spectrum can reduce Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) by reducing the level of emission from clock distribution network.

PLL Multiplier/Divider Definition

At a given input frequency (ƒIN), the output frequency (ƒOUT) of the CDCEx925 is calculated with Equation 1.

Equation 1. CDCE925 CDCEL925 eq_1_SCAS847.gif

where

  • M (1 to 511) and N (1 to 4095) are the multiplier/divide values of the PLL
  • Pdiv (1 to 127) is the output divider

The target VCO frequency (ƒVCO) of each PLL is calculated with Equation 2.

Equation 2. CDCE925 CDCEL925 eq_2_SCAS847.gif

The PLL internally operates as fractional divider and needs the following multiplier/divider settings:

Equation 3. CDCE925 CDCEL925 eq_3_SCAS847.gif

where

  • N′ = N × 2P
  • N ≥ M
  • 80 MHz ≤ ƒVCO ≤ 230 MHz
  • 16 ≤ q ≤ 63
  • 0 ≤ p ≤ 4
  • 0 ≤ r ≤ 511
Example:
for ƒIN = 27 MHz; M = 1; N = 4; Pdiv = 2; for ƒIN = 27 MHz; M = 2; N = 11; Pdiv = 2;
fOUT = 54 MHz fOUT = 74.25 MHz
fVCO = 108 MHz fVCO = 148.50 MHz
P = 4 – int(log24) = 4 – 2 = 2 P = 4 – int(log25.5) = 4 – 2 = 2
N′’ = 4 × 22 = 16 N′’ = 11 × 22 = 44
Q = int(16) = 16 Q = int(22) = 22
R = 16 – 16 = 0 R = 44 – 44 = 0

The values for P, Q, R, and N’ are automatically calculated when using TI Pro-Clock™ software.

Crystal Oscillator Start-Up

When the CDCEx925 is used as a crystal buffer, crystal oscillator start-up dominates the start-up time compared to the internal PLL lock time. The following diagram shows the oscillator start-up sequence for a 27-MHz crystal input with an 8-pF load. The start-up time for the crystal is in the order of approximately 250 µs compared to approximately 10 µs of lock time. In general, lock time is an order of magnitude less compared to the crystal start-up time.

Frequency Adjustment With Crystal Oscillator Pulling

The frequency for the CDCEx925 is adjusted for media and other applications with the VCXO control input VCtrl. If a PWM modulated signal is used as a control signal for the VCXO, an external filter is needed.

CDCE925 CDCEL925 freq_adj_pwm_input.gif Figure 19. Frequency Adjustment Using PWM Input to the VCXO Control

Unused Inputs and Outputs

If VCXO pulling functionality is not required, VCtrl should be left floating. All other unused inputs should be set to GND. Unused outputs should be left floating.

If one output block is not used, TI recommends disabling it. However, TI always recommends providing the supply for the second output block even if it is disabled.

Switching Between XO and VCXO Mode

When the CDCEx925 is in crystal oscillator or in VCXO configuration, the internal capacitors require different internal capacitance. The following steps are recommended to switch to VCXO mode when the configuration for the on-chip capacitor is still set for XO mode. To center the output frequency to 0 ppm:

  1. While in XO mode, put Vctrl = Vdd/2
  2. Switch from X0 mode to VCXO mode
  3. Program the internal capacitors to obtain 0 ppm at the output.

Application Curves

Figure 20, Figure 21, Figure 22, and Figure 23 show CDCEx925 measurements with the SSC feature enabled. Device configuration: 27-MHz input, 27-MHz output.
