PLL
The AK8186B integrates a PLL with a VCO which can be configured to meet user’s application. The
following functions are set through a serial control port. The setting registers are mapped into 0x10 to 0x1F
in a register.

REFERENCE INPUT
The reference input section of the AK8186B allows a differential input or two single-ended inputs. Both types
of inputs are self-biased. It allows easy ac-coupled input signals. The desired reference input is selected by
0x1C[2:0].
Single-ended input
A dc-coupled CMOS level signal or an ac-coupled sinewave or square wave signal can be input.
Differential input
An ac-coupled signal or a dc-coupled signal can be input. If a single-ended signal is applied to the
differential REFIN, the REFINn should be decoupled through a capacitor to a ground.
Note
All reference inputs are powered down by default.
When PLL is powered down, all the reference inputs are powered down.
When the differential mode is selected, the single-ended inputs are powered down and vice versa.
draft-E-02
Sep-2012
- 21 -
AK8186B
The maximum input frequency of both type of inputs is 250MHz.
REFERENCE SWITCHOVER
When dual single-ended CMOS inputs are imposed to REF1 and REF2, the AK8186B could support
automatic and manual PLL reference clock switching between REF1 and REF2. The automatic switchover
is enabled by setting 0x1C[4].
0x1C[4] =
0 : manual switchover
1 : automatic switchover
Note;
The single-ended inputs should be dc-coupled CMOS levels and not go to high impedance. If these go to
high impedance, input buffers may cause chattering due to noise. A false detection might occur.
Manual Switchover
A PLL reference input can be selected by a register or a pin.
0x1C[5] assigns the register 0x1C[6] or the REF_SEL pin to select a PLL reference input.
Automatic Switchover
Automatic switchover has two modes of operation. Both of them switch from REF1 to REF2 when REF1 is
lost. The difference of the two modes is whether the AK8186B would stay on REF2 or not when REF1
returns. 0x1C[3] selects one of the two modes.
0x1D[3] =
0 :
1 :
Switch to REF1.
Stay on REF2. It can be switched to REF1 manually.
Condition to switch from REF1 to REF2
If the reference switchover circuit detects three consecutive rising edges of REF2 without any REF1 rising
edges, the REF1 is considered to be lost. On the 2nd subsequent rising edge of REF2, the reference clock
input to PLL is switched from REF1 to REF2.
Condition to switch back to REF1 when 0x1D[3]=0
If the reference switchover circuit detects four consecutive rising edges of REF1 without three consecutive
REF2 rising edges between REF1 edges, the REF1 is considered to be returned. On the 2nd subsequent
rising edge of REF2, the reference clock input to PLL is switched from REF2 to REF1.
R DIVIDER (REFERENCE DIVIDER)
The reference input goes into the R divider ( a 14-bit counter). It can be set to any value from 0 to 16383 by
0x11 and 0x12. When 0 is set, the input is divided by 1.
Maximum output frequency
The output of the R divider goes to one of the PFD inputs which is compared to the output of the N divider.
The frequency applied to the PFD must not exceed 100MHz.
Reset
The R is divider can be reset under the following conditions.
1) Power on reset
2) When RESET is asserted low.
3) When 0x16[6] is set to 1 (reset of the R divider)
4) When 0x16[5] is set to 1 (shared reset bit of the R, A and B counter)
5) When SYNC is released from L to H.

AK8186B
PHASE FREQUENCY DETECTOR (PFD)
The PFD has two inputs of R divider and N divider. It outputs an up/down signal for the charge pump, which
is proportional to the phase and frequency difference between the inputs. Both input frequencies must not
exceed the maximum frequency of 100MHz.
CHARGE PUMP (CP)
The charge pump pumps up/down controlled by the output of the PFD. The output current of the CP goes
out through the CP pin and integrated and filtered by the external loop filter, then is finally turned into a
voltage. The voltage goes into the VCO via the LF pin to tune the VCO frequency.
The CP has four modes of operation and eight current values. Each of them can be set by the registers
below.

0.6 to 4.8 mA with 0.6mA step (CPRSET=5.1kΩ)
On-Chip VCO
The AK8186B integrates a VCO working in the range of 1.75GHz to 2.25GHz. The VCO requires a
calibration to achieve optimal operation around the REFIN frequency. After power-up or reset. a initial
calibration is required along with the procedure shown below. The calibration can be executed at anytime
after power-up or reset from the step marked (*). SYNC function is executed during the VCO calibration.
Distribution outputs remain static in this period. Maximum time of the VCO calibration is 4400 cycles of a
VCO calibration clock supplied by a VCO calibration divider. The VCO calibration divider divides the R
divider output (= the PFD input clock) with the divider value of 2,4,8 or 16 set to 0x18[2:1]. When the
calibration is finished, a logic true (1b) is returned to a readback bit 0x1F[6].
After power-up or reset.
Set the PLL registers to the proper values for
the PLL loop.

AK8186B
External VCO/VCXO
The AK8186B supports an external VCO/VCXO. The CLK/CLK input can be used as a differential feedback
for an external VCO/VCXO. The input frequency is up to 500MHz.
PLL EXTERNAL LOOP FILTER
The loop filter supplies a voltage to the VCO via the LF pin to move the VCO frequency up or down. When
using the internal VCO, the external loop filter should be referenced to the BYPASS pin for optimal noise
and spurious performance. An example is shown in Fig.13. The values of loop filter must be calculated for
each PLL. It depends on the VCO frequency, the Kvco, the PFD frequency, the CP current, the desired loop
bandwidth and the desired phase margin.

FEEDBACK DIVIDER (N DIVIDER)
The N divider consists of a prescaler (P), A and B counters.
Figure 14. N divider
PRESCALER
The prescaler is a dual modulus counter which has two modes of operation. Division value of A counter
defines the mode as below.
1) When A = 0: a fixed divide (FD) mode where the prescaler divides by P.
2) When A  0: dual modulus (DM) mode where the prescaler divides by P and (P+1).

draft-E-02

AK8186B
Since the maximum output frequency of the prescaler is 300MHz, the prescaler input frequency is limited by
the modes as shown in Table 4. The prescaler must divide its input frequency by appropriate divide ratio
defined by Register 0x016[2:0]. In case of using the internal VCO, its output (1.75GHz min) must be
divided by P = 8, 16 and 32. (See the “PLL Configuration in Register Map Function Descriptions”)
FD mode (A=0)
The Prescaler divider value is P. It is divided by B counter.
N=PxB
Where
P = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 for an external VCO/VCXO.
P = 8, 16 or 32 for an internal VCO.
B : 3 to 8191 when B = 1, B counter is bypassed. Not allowed for B = 0 and 2.
DM mode (A0)
The prescaler divider value is P for (B-A) times and P+1 for A times.
N=PxB+A
Where
P = 1, 2/3, 4/5, 8/9, 16/17 or 32/33 for an external VCO/VCXO.
P = 8/9, 16/17 or 32/33 for an internal VCO.
B : 3 to 8191 when B = 1, B counter is bypassed. Not allowed for B = 0 and 2.
The output frequency of the N divider fVCO/N is equated to the output of the R divider f REF/R at the PFD.
Then the VCO frequency is
1) When A = 0:
fVCO = fREF x N/R where N = P x B
2) When A  0: fVCO = fREF x N/R
where N = P x B + A
A and B COUNTERS
The division value of the A and B counters is defined by the registers below.
A counter : 0x13[5:0]
B counter : 0x14[7:0] and 0x15[4:0]
Note;
- Both division values should be set A ≤ B.
- P = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 when A=0.
- B = 0 and B = 2 are not allowed.
- Maximum input frequency of A/B counters is 300MHz.
Reset Counters
SYNC pin resets all of P, A and B counters simultaneously. This is allowed by the register 0x19[7:6].
A/B counters can be reset by the register 0x16[5][4].

Digital Lock Detect (DLD)
The Digital Lock Detect function detects a lock when the phase difference of the rising edges at the PFD
inputs is less than the Lock Detect Window (3.5ns typical). The lock is indicated when the number of
consecutive “lock detection” reaches the threshold of the Lock Detect Counter defined by 0x18<6:5>.
The “unlock” is indicated when the DLD function detects the larger phase difference at the PFD inputs than
the Lock Detect Window. The unlock threshold is just one value.
Figure 15. Digital Lock Detect
Current Source Digital Lock Detect (CLD)
The lock indication by the DLD is normally not stable until the PLL gets in lock completely. In some
application, it might be required to get a lock detect after the PLL gets solidly locked. The Current Source
DLD function (CLD) could be useful for that requirement.
The CLD provides a current of 110uA to LD pin when the DLD detects a lock (DLD = H). While the PLL
continues to be in lock state, the voltage of LD is going up with the current. But if the PLL is back to unlock
state, the charge on a capacitor externally connected to LD is discharged instantly.
The voltage of LD can be sensed by an internal or external comparator. When the internal LD pin
comparator is used (0x1D[3]=1b), its output can be read at STATUS pin (0x17[7:2]) or REFMON pin

N-channel open drain
The ALD signal is derived from the up/down control outputs of the PFD.
 When the PLL is in lock, the ALD signal is mainly low with minimum high-going pulse. This leads the
voltage of LD to getting up to VDD.
 When the PLL in in unlock, the ALD signal has a wider high-going pulse. This leads the voltage of LD to
getting down to ground.
P-channel open drain
The ALD signal is the inverting of the ALD.
 When the PLL is in lock, the ALD signal is mainly high with minimum low-going pulse. This leads the
voltage of LD to getting down to ground.
 When the PLL in in unlock, the ALD signal has a wider high-going pulse. This leads the voltage of LD
getting up to VDD.

AK8186B
HOLDOVER
Some application requires holding the output frequency to be constant even though the REF input is lost out.
A holdover function is for such a requirement. In the AK8186B, the holdover function puts the charge pump
into high-impedance state so that the VCO keeps its frequency constant. However, any leakage could occur
at the charge pump output, which leads the unwanted VCO frequency shift. Adequate capacitive value in
the loop filter should be selected to avoid shifting the VCO frequency out of the required limit.
The AK8186B has two modes of holdover function, manual or automatic mode. Manual holdover is
activated by the SYNC pin. Automatic holdover is activated by the voltage of LD pin. Both holdover modes
are enabled with 0x1D[2:0].

Manual Holdover Mode
A manual holdover puts the charge pump into a high impedance state immediately when the SYNC pin is

Note: Set the channel divider to ignore the SYNC pin at least after an initial SYNC event. Otherwise, every
time SYNC is asserted low to invoke the manual holdover, the distribution outputs become DC output state.

An automatic holdover puts the charge pump into a high impedance state immediately when the unlock
state is detected. A flow chart of the automatic holdover function is shown in Figure 16.

Operation
: puts the charge pump into a normal state, resets the B-counter.
LD pin is able to report the status of DLD, ALD and CLD. The CLD is recommended to use for the automatic
holdover to avoid re-triggering a holdover due to chattering on the LD. The register 0x1A[5:0] defines the
function of the LD.
The auto holdover function uses the LD pin comparator to sense the status of the LD pin. When the register
0x1D[3]=0, the LD comparator is disabled and the LD pin is treated as always high by the automatic
holdover function. When 0x1D[3]=1, the LD comparator is enabled and can be used for DLD, ALD and CLD.
The registers shown in Table are required to be set to use the automatic holdover function.

CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
VCO DIVIDER
The VCO divider provides frequency division between the internal VCO and the clock distribution section.
The VCO divider can be set to divide by 2,3,4,5 and 6 (0x1E0[2:0]). The output of the VCO divider has 50%
duty even though the division is 3 and 5 due to the duty cycle compensation circuit. VCO divider can be
bypassed when using an external VCO/VCXO. When bypassed, the input duty through CLK/CLK pins is not
compensated.

Synchronizing the Outputs: SYNC FUNCTION
The AK8186B clock outputs can be synchronized to each other. The SYNC function starts to operate by the
following conditions.
1) The SYNC pin is forced low and then released (Manual sync).
2) By setting and then resetting the soft sync bit 0x230[0]
3) After a VCO calibration is completed.
The channel divider output status depends on the register setting of the channel divider such as Bypass bit,
NoSync bit, Force High bit, Start High bit and Phase offset bits.

When the Start High bit =1, the default phase offset exists before the phase offset defined by the phase
offset bits. The default phase offset varies depending on the divider ratio. When the divider is bypassed, the

The AK8186B has three types of reset as below.
1) Power-on reset
2) Asynchronous reset by RESET pin
3) Soft Reset by 0x00[5]
Power-on reset (POR)
At power on, an internal power-on reset signal is generated which initializes the register to the default
settings. Note that the AK8186B does not execute the SYNC operation after power-on reset. To
synchronize the clock outputs by SYNC function after power-up, SYNC_B pin must be released more than
0.5μs after starting a VCO calibration.

AK8186B
SERIAL CONTROL PORT
The AK8186B has a 3 or 4-wire serial control port which is compatible with both the Motorola SPI and Intel
SSR protocols. The function of the serial control port is as follows.
- Read/write access to all registers
- Single/Multiple byte access
- MSB/LSB first transfer format
- Data output on SDIO pin (3-wire access: default) or SDO pin (4-wire access)
- Long instruction only (16 bits)

AK8186B
Since the AK8186B supports only the long instruction (16 bits) mode, the register 0x00[4:3] must be 11b.
The Instruction Word (16 bits)
The instruction consists of 3 parts; Read/Write command, Byte to transfer and Address. See below.

Streaming mode
Streaming mode is to transfer more than three bytes. It does not skip over reserved or blank registers.
WRITE
When I15=0, write operation is executed. The timing chart of 2-byte data write is shown below. Write data is
sampled at the rising edge of SCLK.
Figure 29. Serial Contorl Port - WRITE - MSB First
Write in Streaming mode
When data is transferred in streaming mode, the reserved and blank registers are not skipped over. Any
data written to those registers does not affect the operation of the AK8186B.
Update Register
The serial control port has a two-step registers. It consists of a buffer register and an active register.
When data is transferred to the serial control port, the data is written into the buffer register. At this point, the
written data is not active. To make this data active, an update register operation is needed. When set
0x232[0]=1, the data in the buffer register is transferred to the active register. This is called “update register”
and makes the data active. Any number of data can be written into the buffer register before executing the
update register. 0x232[0] is self-clear bit register.

The serial control port configuration registers of 0x00 and 0x04 does not require the update register. The
written data is immediately effective.
READ
When I15=1, read operation is executed. The timing chart of 3-byte data read is shown below. Read data is
valid at the falling edge of SCLK.

Read in Streaming mode
When data is transferred in streaming mode, the reserved and blank registers are not skipped over.
Bidirectional/Unidirectional mode
By default, the serial control port operates in the bidirectional mode. Both write data and readback data are
transferred on the SDIO pin. In unidirectional mode, the readback data is on the SDO pin. 0x00[7][0]
enables the SDO pin.
BUS STALLING IN READ/WRITE ACCESS
Sep-2012
draft-E-02
- 40 -
AK8186B
When 1, 2 or 3-byte transfer, but not streaming, CS can rise up on boundary of every data byte to stall the
bus. While CS is high, read/write operation is suspended and the state machine of the serial control port
stays in wait state. The operation resumes after CS goes down.
Figure 33. Bus Stalling
If the system gets out of the wait state, the state machine should be reset by the following procedure.
Return CS low and complete the transfer of remained data.
Return CS low for at least one complete SCLK cycle (but less than 8 cycles).
If CS goes high on non-boundary area, the read/write access is immediately cancelled.
MSB/LSB FIRST TRANSFERS
The AK8186B serial control port transfer the data by MSB first or LSB first. 0x00[6][1] selects one of which.
Default is MSB first.
MSB first
The instruction and data are transferred from MSB. When the AK8186B executes multibyte access, the
address included in the instruction is the start address. Address decrements at every data byte access.

AK8186B
LSB first
The instruction and data are transferred from LSB. When the AK8186B executes multibyte access, the
address included in the instruction is the start address. Address increments at every data byte access.
Figure 35. LSB First Transfers
In both MSB and LSB first modes, streaming mode stops at the address of 0x232. Note that the reserved
and blank registers are not skipped.

The serial control port is configured by the register 0x00[7:4]. 0x00[3:0] should be mirrored to 0x00[7:4]. This
makes it no matter whether the data is written from MSB or LSB.

Bit used to initiate the VCO calibration. This bit must be toggled from 0 to 1 in
the active registers. The sequence to initiate a calibration is: program to 0,
followed by an update bit(Register 0x232[0]),; then programmed to 1, followed
by another update bit(Register 0x232[0]). This sequence gives complete
control over when the VCO calibration occurs relative to the programming of
other registers that can impact the calibration.

threshold. See Table 16: REF1, REF2 and VCO Frequency Status Monitor
parameter.
0: frequency valid if frequency is above the higher frequency threshold
(default).

Soft SYNC
The soft SYNC works the same as the SYNC pin. Expect that the polarity of
the bit is reversed. That is, a high level forces selected channels into a
predetermined static state, and 1-to-0 transition triggers a SYNC.
