PRODUCTION DATA
Each DPLL reference clock input is independently monitored for input validation before the reference clock is qualified and available for selection by the DPLL. The reference monitoring blocks include the amplitude, frequency threshold, missing pulse (late window), runt pulse (early window), and 1PPS phase valid detectors. For input frequencies less than 2kHz, the 1PPS phase valid and LVCMOS amplitude detectors are supported, while the differential input amplitude, frequency threshold, missing pulse, and runt pulse monitors are not supported and must be disabled. For input frequencies greater than or equal to 2kHz, all detectors excepts the 1PPS phase valid monitor are supported. A validation timer is also available to set the minimum time for all enabled reference monitors to be clear of flags before an input is qualified.
The enablement and valid threshold for all reference monitors and validation timers are programmable per input. The reference monitors and validation timers are optional to enable, but are critical to achieve reliable DPLL lock and optimal transient performance during holdover or switchover events. The reference monitors and validation timers are also used to avoid selection of an unreliable or intermittent clock input. If a given detector is not enabled, the detector does not set a flag and is ignored. The status flag of any enabled detector can be observed through the status pins for any reference input (selected or not selected). The status flags of the enabled detectors can also be read through the status bits for the selected input of the DPLL.
