PRODUCTION DATA
The 1PPS phase validation monitor is designed specifically for 1PPS input validation because the frequency, early window, and late window do not support the low frequency input. The monitor can also be used for input frequencies less than 2kHz.
The phase validation monitor uses a window detector to validate 1PPS input pulses that arrive within the nominal clock period (TIN) plus a programmable jitter threshold (TJIT). When the input pulse arrives within the counter window (TV), the pulse is considered valid and the phase valid flag is cleared. When the input pulse does not arrive before TV (due to a missing or late pulse), the flag is set immediately to disqualify the input. TJIT must be set higher than the worst-case input cycle-to-cycle jitter. The pulse detection scheme is illustrated in Figure 8-18.
Figure 8-18 1PPS Input Window Detector ExampleThe monitor has a maximum pulse count of 63 which limits the accuracy supported for the APLL reference clock (XO input pin). To achieve 1PPS lock, use a high-accuracy clock for the XO input pin, such as a TCXO or OCXO. Refer to the next section Check XO Input Frequency Accuracy for 1PPS Lock to confirm if the XO input clock has sufficient accuracy to achieve 1PPS lock.
