PLL Loop Filters and Loop Parameters
www.ti.com

PLL Loop Filters and Loop Parameters
In jitter cleaning applications that use a cascaded or dual PLL architecture, the first PLL’s purpose is to
substitute the phase noise of a low-noise oscillator (VCXO or crystal resonator) for the phase noise of a
“dirty” reference clock. The first PLL is typically configured with a narrow loop bandwidth in order to
minimize the impact of the reference clock phase noise. The reference clock consequently serves only as
a frequency reference.
The loop filters on the LMK04208 evaluation board are setup using the approach above. The loop filter for
PLL1 has been configured for a narrow loop bandwidth (< 100 Hz). Table 2 and Table 3 contain the
parameters for PLL1 and PLL2 for using the default VCXO.
TI’s Clock Design Tool can be used to optimize PLL phase noise/jitter for given specifications. See:
http://www.ti.com/tool/clockdesigntool.

Using TICS Pro to Program the LMK04208
This section will demonstrate how to use TICS Pro. Making measurements with the LMK04208 device will
serve as an example. For more information on using TICS Pro, refer to Appendix A and TICS Pro
instructions, "Help" → "TICS Pro User Manual."
Before proceeding, be sure to follow the instructions in Section 3 to ensure proper connections.
6.1
Start TICS Pro Application
Click “Start” → “Programs” → “Texas Instruments” → “TICS Pro” → “TICS Pro”
The TICS Pro program is installed by default to the TICS Pro application group.
6.2
Select Device
Click “Select Device" → "Clock Generator/Jitter Cleaner (Dual Loop)" → "LMK04208”
Upon start, TICS Pro will load the last used device. To load a different device, click “Select Device” from
the menu bar, then select the subgroup and finally, the device to load. For this example, the LMK04208 is
chosen.
6.3
Setup and Confirm Communications
If not already plugged in, connect USB2ANY interface. Click "USB communications" → "Interface"
Ensure USB2ANY is selected in the Communication Setup window. Press the Identify button to confirm
desired USB2ANY is selected by observing blinking LED. Other instances of TICS Pro can be used at the
same time, but if a USB2ANY is used in one application, in cannot be used in the second and may not
show up.

Restoring a Default Mode
Click “Mode” → “CLKin1 122.88 MHz, 122.88 MHz VCXO”; then press Ctrl+L.
Figure 4. Setting the Default Mode for LMK04208
For the purpose of this walkthrough, a default mode will be loaded to ensure a common starting point.
This is important because when TICS Pro is closed, it remembers the last settings used for a particular
device. Again, remember to press Ctrl+L as the first step after loading a default mode.
6.5
Program/Load Device
Provided the communication settings are correct, press the “Ctrl+L” shortcut or click “Keyboard Controls”
→ “Load Device” from the menu to program the device to the current state of the newly loaded LMK04208
file.
Figure 5. Loading the Device
Once the device has been initially loaded, TICS Pro will automatically program changed registers so it is
not necessary to reload the device upon subsequent changes in the device configuration. It is possible to
disable this functionality by ensuring there is no checkmark by the “Options” → “AutoUpdate.”
Because a default mode will be restored in the next step, this step isn’t really needed but included to
emphasize the importance of pressing “Ctrl+L” to load the device at least once after starting TICS Pro,
restoring a mode, or restoring a saved setup using the File menu.
See TICS Pro instructions by clicking "Help" → "TICS Pro User Manual." This contains information on
troubleshooting communications.
6.6
Visual Confirmation of Frequency Lock
After a default mode is restored and loaded, LED D1 will illuminate when PLL1 and PLL2 are locked to the
reference clock applied to CLKin1. This assumes LD_MUX = PLL1 & PLL2 DLD and LD_TYPE = Output
(Push-Pull).

Enable Clock Outputs
While the LMK04208 offers programmable clock output buffer formats, the evaluation board is shipped
with pre-configured output terminations to match the default buffer type for each output.
To measure Phase noise at one of the clock outputs, for example CLKout0:
1. Click on the Clock Outputs page,
2. Uncheck “Powerdown” in the Clock output box to enable the channel. (10)
3. Set the following as needed:
(a) Digital Delay value (1)
(b) Clock Divider value (3)
(c) Analog Delay Select and Analog Delay Value, if desired (4 and 5). Analog delay will add to noise
floor of output.

4. Depending on the configured output type, the clock output SMAs can be interfaced to a test instrument
with a single-ended 50-Ω input as follows.
(a) For LVDS:
(i) A balun (like ADT2-1T or high quality Prodyn BIB-100G) is recommended for differential-tosingle-ended conversion.
(b) For LVPECL:
(i) A balun can be used, or
(ii) One side of the LVPECL signal can be terminated with a 50-Ω load and the other side can be
run single-ended to the instrument.
5. The phase noise may be measured with a spectrum analyzer or signal source analyzer.

FBCLKin*/CLKin1* is configured by default for a single-ended reference clock input
from a 50-ohm source using a 3 dB pad for termination which is recommended for
high speed inputs. The unused input pin (FBCLKin/CLKin1) is connected to GND
with a 0.1 µF.
CLKin1 is the default reference clock input selected in TICS Pro. The clock input
selection mode can be programmed on the CLKins and PLLs page via the Clock
Inputs control.
Populated:
CLKin0, CLKin0*,

CLKin1 as External Feedback Input (FBCLKin) for 0-Delay
CLKin1 is shared for use with FBCLKin as an external feedback clock input to PLL1
for 0-delay mode.
CLKin1 as Fin for external VCO or Clock Distribution mode
CLKin1 be used as an RF Input (Fin) for External VCO for PLL2 or for an input in
Clock Distribution mode.
Analog,
Input
OSCin is the feedback clock input to PLL1 and reference clock input to PLL2. The
onboard VCXO drives OSCin by default for dual loop operation.
By default the differential output of the LVPECL VCXO (U8) or the single-ended
output of the onboard VCXO (U2) drives the OSCin input of the device. When using
a single ended VCXO the OSCin* port is driven and the non-inverting OSCin input
of the device is connected to GND with 0.1 µF.
An external VCXO may be optionally attached via these SMA connectors with minor
modification to the components going to the OSCin/OSCin* pins of device. This is
useful if the VCXO footprint does not accommodate the desired VCXO device or if
the user desires to use the LMK04208 in single loop mode. It is also necessary to
connect the Vtune input of the VCXO to the CPout1.
A single-ended or differential signal may be used to drive the OSCin/OSCin* pins
and must be AC coupled. If operated in single-ended mode, the unused input must
be connected to GND with 0.1 µF.
Refer to the LMK04802 datasheet section “Electrical Characteristics” for PLL2

Phase Noise / Spectrum Analyzer
To measure phase noise and RMS jitter, an Agilent E5052 Signal Source Analyzer is recommended. An
Agilent E4445A PSA Spectrum Analyzer with the Phase Noise option is also usable although the
architecture of the E5052 is superior for phase noise measurements. At frequencies less than 100 MHz
the local oscillator noise of the E4445A is too high and measurements will reflect the E4445A’s internal
local oscillator performance, not the device under test.
Oscilloscope
To measure the output clocks for AC performance, such as rise time or fall time, propagation delay, or
skew, it is suggested to use a real-time oscilloscope with at least 1 GHz analog input bandwidth (2.5+
GHz recommended) with 50-Ω inputs and 10+ Gsps sample rate. To evaluate clock synchronization or
phase alignment between multiple clock outputs, it is recommended to use phase-matched, 50-Ω cables
to minimize external sources of skew or other errors/distortion that may be introduced if using oscilloscope
probes.

TICS Pro Usage
TICS Pro is used to program the evaluation board with the USB2ANY adapter. TICS Pro is available for
download at: http://www.ti.com/tool/ticspro-sw.
The following shows screenshots from the application for the LMK04208 along with some comments for
use of the displayed screen.
A.1
Communication Setup Window
The Communication Setup dialog is opened by selecting "USB communications" → "Interface." The user
may select the USB2ANY that will be used to program the device on the evaluation board. If multiple
USB2ANYs are connected to the same PC, identify the target device by clicking the Identify button - the
selected USB2ANY will briefly blink the onboard LED.
If no USB2ANY + LMK04208 is available, selecting DemoMode will allow the application to be used and
generate programming configurations.

CLKins and PLLs Page
The CLKins and PLL page allows the user to change select device operation mode, select clock input and
PLL operational frequencies.
The OSCin Source control doesn't control an actual register but unlinks the VCXO frequency from OSCin
to allow for single PLL operation of PLL2.
Likewise the "selected clock input for PLL1" combobox allows the user to select which input clock to use
for frequency calculations, this is important for Pin Select and Auto CLKin Select modes.

The User Controls page allows the user to program bits not available on other pages. Of note is the
LD_MUX and HOLDOVER_MUX registers for controlling the status outputs. These allow the user to set
the status outputs to display PLL1 or PLL2 digital lock detect. Other common settings are PLLX R/2 or
PLLX N/2 to troubleshoot PLL locking issues. This displays half the frequency at the phase detector from
the R or N path. Unexpected frequencies from either of these nodes will help to determine if the lock issue
is associated with reference or feedback path.

Typical Phase Noise Performance Plots
The LMK04208’s dual PLL architecture achieves ultra low jitter and phase noise by allowing the external
VCXO or Crystal’s phase noise to dominate the final output phase noise at low offset frequencies and the
internal VCO’s phase noise to dominate the final output phase noise at high offset frequencies. This
results in the best overall noise and jitter performance.
Table 7 lists the test conditions used for output clock phase noise measurements with the VG-4513CA122.8800M-GFCT3 Epson VCXO.

VCXO Phase Noise 122.88 MHz
The phase noise of the reference is masked by the phase noise of this VCXO by using a narrow loop
bandwidth for PLL1 while retaining the frequency accuracy of the reference clock input. This VCXO sets
the reference noise to PLL2. Figure 18 shows the open loop typical phase noise performance of the VG4513CA-122.8800M-GFCT3 Epson VCXO and CVHD-950-122.88 Crystek VCXO.

Clock Output Phase Noise Measurements
The LMK04208 features programmable LVDS, LVPECL, and LVCMOS output modes. Below is a phase
noise measurement of CLKout0 for LVPECL and CLKout4 for LVDS and LVCMOS outputs. When
measured single ended (SE) the unmeasured output is terminated using a 50-Ω termination. Balun
measurements are made using the Prodyn BIB-100G balun. Measurements are provided for 245.75 MHz
and 2949.12 MHz. The default populated VG-4513CA-122.8800M-GFCT3 Epson VCXO is used for
measurements. The note 240 ohm em refers to the emitter resistors of the AC coupled LVPECL output
are 240 Ω.
