4. Functional Description
4.1
Local Oscillator or Crystal
Section 4.1.1 describes how to connect an external oscillator and the required characteristics of the oscillator.
Section 4.1.2 describes how to connect an external crystal to the on-chip crystal driver circuit and the required
characteristics of the crystal.
4.1.1
External Oscillator
A signal from an external oscillator can be connected to the XA pin (XB must be left unconnected).
Table 6 specifies the range of possible frequencies for the XA input. Several vendors including Vectron, Rakon and
TXC offer low-cost, low-jitter XOs with output frequencies in this range. To minimize jitter, the signal must be
properly terminated and must have very short trace length. A poorly terminated single-ended signal can greatly
increase output jitter, and long single-ended trace lengths are more susceptible to noise.

Microsemi Confidential
ZL30254
Data Sheet
The jitter on output clock signals depends on the phase noise and frequency of the external oscillator. For the
device to operate with the lowest possible output jitter, the external oscillator should have the following
characteristics:
Phase Jitter: less than 0.1ps RMS over the 12kHz to 5MHz integration band
Frequency: The higher the better, all else being equal
4.1.2
External Crystal and On-Chip Driver Circuit
The on-chip crystal driver circuit is designed to work with a fundamental mode, AT-cut crystal resonator. See Table
2 for recommended crystal specifications.
See Figure 4 for the crystal equivalent circuit and the recommended external capacitor connections. To achieve a
crystal load (CL) of 10pF, an external 16pF is placed in parallel with the 4pF internal capacitance of the XA pin, and
an external 16pF is placed in parallel with the 4pF internal capacitance of the XB pin. The crystal then sees a load
of 20pF in series with 20pF, which is 10pF total load. Note that the 16pF capacitance values in Figure 4 include all
capacitance on those nodes. If, for example, PCB trace capacitance between crystal pin and IC pin is 2pF then
14pF capacitors should be used to make 16pF total.
The crystal, traces, and two external capacitors should be placed on the board as close as possible to the XA and
XB pins to reduce crosstalk of active signals into the oscillator. Also no active signals should be routed under the
crystal circuitry.
Note: Crystals have temperature sensitivies that can cause frequency changes in response to ambient temperature
changes. In applications where significant temperature changes are expected near the crystal, it is recommended
that the crystal be covered with a thermal cap, or an external XO or TCXO should be used instead.

Higher frequencies give lower output jitter, all else being equal.
These ESR limits are chosen to constrain crystal drive level to less than 100W. If the crystal can tolerate a drive level greater than
100W then proportionally higher ESR is acceptable.

Data Sheet
Clock Doubler
Figure 1 shows the clock doubler (“x2” block) following the crystal driver block. The doubler is used to double the
frequency of the internal crystal driver circuit or a clock signal on the XA pin.
The duty cycle of the input clock to the doubler must be as close to 50% as possible because a non-50% duty cycle
causes cycle-to-cycle jitter in the doubler’s output signal.
4.2
Input Clocks
The IC1 and IC2 input clocks signals are CMOS signal format. The frequency of the two inputs is either 8kHz or
25MHz as specified by the setting of the AC0 and AC1 pins at device reset. See Table 1 for details.
4.2.1
Input Clock Monitoring
Each ICx input clock is continuously monitored for activity and frequency accuracy. The activity monitor counts the
number of input clock cycles that occur during a configurable interval. This provides the fastest detection when the
input clock is stopped or far off frequency. Frequency monitoring is handled by a percent frequency monitor (±1%).
Any input clock that fails activity monitoring or frequency monitoring is declared invalid.
4.2.2
Input Clock Selection
During normal operation, the device automatically selects input clock IC1 if it is valid; otherwise it selects IC2 if it is
valid; otherwise the device goes into digital hold (see section 4.3.1). Switching among inputs is revertive, i.e. if the
device is locked to IC2 and IC1 becomes valid then the device will automatically switch back to IC1.
The NOIC1 pin can be used to perform manual selection of an input clock. When NOIC1 is high, IC1 is forced
invalid. The device then switches to IC2 if it is valid; otherwise the device goes into digital hold.
4.3
DPLL
Digital PLLs have stable, repeatable performance that is insensitive to process variations, temperature, and
voltage. The DPLL in this device uses a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) to generate the DPLL output clock. The
DPLL output clock is then provided to an APLL for clock multiplication.
The DPLL in the device has a fixed 25Hz bandwidth and a ±120ppm tracking range. (Note that the crystal is the
measurement reference for this tracking range. A ppm offset of the crystal causes a corresponding ppm offset of
the tracking range.)
No knowledge of loop equations or gain parameters is required to configure and operate the device. No external
components are required for the DPLL except a crystal or XO connected to the XA pin to provide the DPLL’s
master clock (see section 4.1).
4.3.1
DPLL States
Tracking (Locked and Unlocked). When a valid input clock is available, the DPLL transitions to the tracking state
(TRK=1) and is either locked to an input clock (LOL=0) or unlocked (LOL=1).
Digital-Hold. When all input clocks become invalid, the DPLL enters the digital-hold state (TRK=0) in which the
output frequency has the same fractional frequency offset it had previously when the DPLL was locked to an input
clock. The DPLL automatically transitions from the digital-hold state back to the tracking state when an input clock
is declared valid.
4.4
Clock Multiplier APLL
The low-jitter clock-multiplier APLL in the device is self-contained and requires no external components and no
knowledge of loop equations. It is factory-configured for 125MHz or 156.25MHz output clocks.

Microsemi Confidential
ZL30254
4.5
Data Sheet
Output Clock Signals
The OC1 and OC2 output clock signals are CML signal format. The frequency of the two outputs is either 125MHz
or 156.25MHz as specified by the setting of the AC0 and AC1 pins at device reset. See Table 1 for details.
4.6
Reset Logic
The RSTN pin asynchronously resets the entire device. When the RSTN pin is low all internal registers are reset to
their default values. The RSTN pin must be asserted once after power-up. Reset should be asserted for at least
100ms. After reset is deasserted the device requires approximately 100ms to configure itself and be ready to
operate.
4.7
Power-Supply Considerations
Due to the multi-power-supply nature of the device, some I/Os have parasitic diodes between a 1.8V supply and a
3.3V supply. When ramping power supplies up or down, care must be taken to avoid forward-biasing these diodes
because it could cause latchup. Two methods are available to prevent this. The first method is to place a Schottky
diode external to the device between the 1.8V supply and the 3.3V supply to force the 3.3V supply to be within one
parasitic diode drop of the 1.8V supply. The second method is to ramp up the 3.3V supply first and then ramp up
the 1.8V supply.

Description
First general release
In Table 1 and section 4.6 changed the minium reset active time to 100ms.
In Table 1 added requirement to AC[1:0] and TEST pins that any pullup or pulldown resistors
used to set the values of these pins at reset should be 1k.
23-Mar-2015
Changed the VDDO1 and VDDO2 descriptions in Table 1 to clearly indicate that VDDO1 is for
output OC1 and VDDO2 is for output OC2.
Modified Figure 6. In the LVDS diagram removed the 5k resistors to ground, which are only
appropriate for one type of LVDS receiver design. Added 100 differential termination and note
about how it may be integrated in some receivers. Added note that internal bias and termination
is assumed for the CML receiver diagram.
19-Apr-2016
Corrected Figure 3 to have square corners rather than chamfered corners to match the
mechanical drawing in section 7.
Added Note 3 to Table 10.
