TM-056
Integrated Timing Solution
The TM-056 is a compact Timing Module, which functions as a complete system clock solution for general Stratum 3 timing applications. The TM-056 uses Vectron’s Digital and Analog Phase Locked Loop (DPLL and APLL) technology and can lock to 2 reference frequencies automatically. The module has dual output clocks ranging from 8 kHz to 77.76 MHz. Simple control interface with comprehensive state engine, status and alarm indications and fully automatic operation makes seamless system integration of the TM-056 module.

Description
The TM-056 is based on a digital PLL (DPLL) that performs filtering of input signals, and is complemented by an analog PLL (APLL) required to deliver high quality output signals. The most critical element of the TM-056 is the DPLL that generates a phase-locked clock, filters jitter and wander and suppresses input phase transients. All of these features are in agreement with international standards. The DPLL supports three mandatory modes of operation. (Free-run, Lock and Holdover). Each of these modes places specific requirements on the building blocks of the DPLL. In Free-run mode the output is locked to an internal OCXO, and therefore timing and synchronization signals are based on the accuracy of on-board oscillators. This mode is typically used when a master clock source is required, not valid history of data for the Holdover mode, or immediately following system power-up before network synchronization is achieved. In Holdover mode, the TM-056 generates a clock based on data collected from past reference signals when the module was locked. The Holdover mode is typically used when no external reference is available. The stability of the output signal in Holdover mode depends of the stability of the on-board oscillator. By default the TM-056 uses an OCXO as an on-board oscillator, but other type of oscillators are available on request. In Lock mode the device can be locked to one of two external reference signals. The Lock mode is typically used when a slave clock source synchronized to the network is required. In this mode the TM-056 provides timing signals which are synchronized to one of two reference inputs (i.e. REF1 or REF2). The input reference signals may have a variety of nominal frequencies, which are specified by customers. Both input references are continuously monitored and evaluated by the module in terms of presence and frequency offset relative to the local oscillator. The TM-056 rejects all reference signals that are out of the frequency range of approximately ±17ppm. A reference will be qualified if the signal is present and within the frequency limit for more than approximately 20s. The TM-056 dynamically changes the loop bandwidth according to the status of the DPLL. There are three stages for the DPLL to be locked. The first stage is frequency acquisition that runs until the frequency becomes equal to the reference. The second stage is phase acquisition that runs until a new phase reference is determined. The third stage is tracking when the DPLL is locked and tracks the phase reference with very low loop bandwidth. This method with three stages ensures a minimum locking time and minimum phase jumps and shifts during rearrangement. The phase data is continuously collected for the history buffer during the time when the unit is locked to any of the input references. The history buffer is actually a circular buffer in memory that keeps valid phase data for Holdover mode for the last 90 seconds of operation. When the TM-056 enters Holdover mode the data from the buffer is validated and further processed. At the beginning of operation the unit has no valid history buffer. The APLL is locked to DPLL output and provides low jitter output. The TM-056 module provides two output signals OUT1 and OUT2. The outputs are generated by APLL and scaled by the output dividers. The frequency of the APLL oscillator is specified according to an application where the TM-056 will be used. The J-TAG service port is used for on board chip programming and debugging purposes during production and testing. The port is for factory use only and any unauthorized access can damage the unit. The TM-056 provides a detailed monitoring and indications of operation mode and status of the unit. There are six digital outputs that report statuses and alarms of the module. These alarms are mainly used for communication between the module and equipment where the module is operating.

Mode of Operation
The signal is ON (logic high) when TM-056 in Holdover mode. The signal is ON (logic high) when TM-056 in Lock mode using EX REF 1. The signal is ON (logic high) when TM-056 in Lock mode using EX REF 2. The signal is ON (logic high) when TM-056 in Free-run mode. The signal in ON (logic high) when TM-056 is not locked to an external reference. The signal is ON (logic high) when TM-056 is in Holdover of Free-run mode.
A simple control interface is available for user to control the operation of the TM-056. The two external inputs CNT1 and CNT2 provide this feature. The truth table below shows behavior of the TM-056 module according to the control inputs states.

By changing the control inputs the user can change the state of the TM-056 according to the state engine diagram. The state engine diagram of the TM-056 shows the transients between the three operating modes: Free-run, Lock and Holdover, shown as an ellipse, in a changing environment. The temporary operating states, showed as a circle, are used internally until one of the three modes is reached. Besides the control inputs (CNT1 and CNT2), certain types of inputs and statuses affect the changes in the state engine such as the availability of external references and change of the quality of the input reference signal otside predefined limits.
