ACS8946 JAM PLL
Jitter Attenuating, Multiplying Phase Locked Loop,
with Protection Switch, for OC-12/STM-4 and GbE
ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS
Introduction
FINAL
Features
The ACS8946 JAM PLL is a Jitter-Attenuating, Multiplying
differential Phase-Locked Loop, for generating low jitter
output clocks compliant up to SONET OC-12 and STM-4
622.08 MHz specifications. Its primary function is to
clean up clock jitter for high performance optical line
cards with OC-12 framers and serializers. It also provides
reference switching functionality for line card protection,
and frequency translation.
Typical output jitter generation is within OC-12/STM-4
specifications, at 2.8 ps rms, making it an ideal dejittering
solution for use with Semtech clock and line card parts:
ACS8510, ACS8520, ACS8522 and ACS8530. The
ACS8946 can also be used as a basic line card protection
device in some applications.
The ACS8946 JAM PLL has two differential, frequency
programmable, LVPECL reference inputs and one
differential sync input. It has four outputs, programmable
as LVPECL or CML, and frequency programmable to any
common SONET/SDH rate i.e. 19.44 MHz, 38.88 MHz,
77.76 MHz, 155.52 MHz, 311.04 MHz and 622.08 MHz.
Jitter cleaning of Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) 125 MHz and
156.25 MHz is also possible, with output frequency
multiplication up to 625.00 MHz available.
The device's operating bandwidth (and consequently the
jitter attenuation point relating to this bandwidth) is fully
configurable, and is set by external passive components.
Note...For items marked [1],[2], etc. references are given in full
in the Reference Section on page 38.

LOCKB
O
Analog
Lock detect output. This is a pulse-width modulated output current, with each pulse
typically +10 µA. The output produces a pulse with a width in proportion to the phase
error seen at the internal phase detector. This pin should be connected via an external
parallel capacitor and resistor to ground. The pin voltage will then give an indication of
phase lock: When low, the device is phase locked; when high the device has frequent
large phase errors and so is not phase locked. The value of the RC components used
determines the time and level of consistency required for lock indication. If LOCKB is
disabled by configuration the LOCKB output is held low.

ACS8946 JAM PLL
ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS
Description
FINAL
The ACS8946 is a low-jitter integrated PLL for dejittering
and clock rate translation, meeting the jitter requirements
for SONET up to and including OC-12 (622.08 MHz)
systems. It is compliant to the relevant ITU,
Telcordia/Bellcore and ETSI standards for at least OC-3
(155.52 MHz) and OC-12 (622.08 MHz) - equivalent to
the corresponding STM1 and 4 rates. It may also be used
as an initial clock clean-up device in, for example, in
OC-48 systems, where the CMU PLL in the
Serializer/Framer has a suitable bandwidth.
The ACS8946 can be configured for a range of
applications using a minimal number of external
components and is available in a small form factor QFN48
package at 7 mm x 7 mm x 0.9 mm outer dimensions.
DATASHEET
Either clock input may be manually or automatically
selected as the reference based on the detection of clock
activity at the inputs. The signals AUTO_SEL and
SEL_CLK2, shown in Table 4, are used to control the input
clock selection. In automatic mode the clock selection
between CLK1 and CLK2 is non-revertive, i.e. if the PLL is
locked onto CLK1 and CLK1 fails so that the PLL switches
over to CLK2, then when CLK1 becomes operational
again the PLL will not switch back to CLK1.

Configuration of expected input clock frequency, which
has to be the same for both clock inputs, is set by the
wiring of configuration pins described in Table 10.
Unused differential inputs from CLK[2:1]N/P and
SYNCN/P should be wired P to GND and N to VDD.
In addition to the main clock inputs CLK1, and CLK2, a
single differential SYNC input is provided.
Inputs
The ACS8946 has two LVPECL differential inputs
(CLK1N/P, pins 27 and 28, and CLK2N/P, pins 30 and
31). These are programmable to accept input frequencies
of 19.44 MHz, 38.88 MHz, 77.76 MHz, 125.00 MHz,
155.52 MHz or 156.25 MHz. Frequencies near to these
spot frequencies can also be accepted (see Table 5) so
long as the chosen frequency supplied to each input
remains stable to within the ±400 ppm tracking range.
LVDS and CML inputs can be accepted given suitable
passive resistive and capacitive interface components.
Phase comparisons are performed directly at the selected
spot frequency rates in the internal Phase and Frequency
Detector (PFD), unless GbE (Gigabit Ethernet) rates are
selected for output rates, in which case the input
frequencies are divided as required prior to the PFD.
Revision 3/November 2006 © Semtech Corp.
The permitted input frequency range either side of the
selected spot frequency depends on the input clock rate.
Table 5 presents the list of configurable input spot
frequencies, and shows the maximum and minimum
range about each input spot frequency that can be
allowed as input to the device as a percentage of the
configured input spot frequency.
An External Feedback mode is available and may be used
for greater control of phase discrepancies for example
when using external buffers. In External Feedback mode
the external feedback signal is received at the CLK2 input,
hence CLK1 can be the only input in this mode.
Outputs
The ACS8946 has four, LVPECL or CML, differential
outputs: OUT[4:1]N/P, pins 11/12, 8/9, 5/6, and 2/3.
Outputs are produced in a CML or LVPECL output format
on up to four outputs concurrently. Interfacing to LVDS is

“Input and Output Interface Terminations” on page 27).
Output clock rates at 19.44 MHz, 38.88 MHz, 77.76 MHz,
125.00 MHz, 155.52 MHz, 156.25 MHz, 311.04 MHz,
622.08 MHz or 625.00 MHz are selectable. Additionally,
odd number division of these frequencies up to divide-by15 can also be configured. Note that if odd number
division is used, the frequency adjustment factor will
apply to all outputs, adjusting all selected output
frequencies proportionally.
The output frequency of each output is determined by a
combination of the wiring of the configuration pins
CFG_IN[7:0] read at power-up, and state of the
asynchronously set RATE[2:1]A and RATE[2:1]B pins. The
user configures a set of “Available Rates” (four
frequencies that are available for selection at every Clock
Output) and then configures each output individually to
output one of these four rates. OUT1 and OUT2 are
asynchronously controllable allowing the output
frequency to be switched among the “Available Rates”
under control from the rate selection pins (RATE[2:1]A
and RATE[2:1]B).
To determine the correct wiring of configuration pins to
configure the device involves the use of several look-up
tables, and for completeness the datasheet includes all of
these, with worked examples (See “Configuration” on
page 13). However, to make configuring the device much
more simple than this description and look-up tables
suggest, Semtech provides a user-friendly Graphical User
Interface (GUI) software package to accompany the
ACS8946 in which the User enters the required I/O
frequencies, dividers settings etc. as required for a
particular application, and the GUI responds by displaying
the interconnections required to achieve that

DATASHEET
The ACS8946 provides options to multiply a 19.44 MHz
input by 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 for standard SONET SDH spot
frequency configurations. 125.00 MHz dejittered output
for Gigabit Ethernet (GbE/10 GbE) is also supported if
125.00 MHz is provided as the input reference, and
156.25 MHz input (for 12.5 GbE) is also supported. These
rates are configured by the wiring of CFG_IN[3:2], see
Table 10.
If the input frequency used is a percentage away from the
configured spot frequency, then the resulting output
frequency will change by the same percentage. Refer
back to Table 5 for permitted input frequencies.
Note...GbE rates are not directly available as conversions from
SONET/SDH rates.
Voltage Controlled Oscillator
The internal VCO operates at 2.48832 GHz when the
device is configured for standard SONET/SDH spot
frequencies. The VCO frequency is divided down to the
selected rate giving a precise 50/50 balanced
mark/space ratio for the output. For 125.00 MHz
operation the VCO operates at 2.500 GHz.
Jitter Filtering
Input jitter is attenuated by the PLL with the frequency cutoff point (Fc), at which jitter is either tracked or
attenuated, defined by the -3 dB point i.e. the position of
the first pole of the PLL loop filter. The bandwidth
(frequency at which the first pole occurs) is defined by the
component value selected for the filter in Tables 6 and 7.
For 19.44 MHz input, using a loop filter bandwidth of
2 kHz and damping factor of 1.2 gives:
z
High input jitter attenuation and roll off:
• - 20 dB/decade from first loop filter pole, (Fc)
• - 40 dB/decade from 2nd pole (typically 10 x Fc)

FINAL
Typical final output jitter. e.g. 2.8 ps rms measured
over the integration range of 12 kHz -20 MHz offset

Jitter Filtering: Partnering with Semtech
Line Card Protection Parts
One possible line card solution is to use the ACS8946 on
the line card to provide line card protection and direct
jitter filtering of references received from a Semtech SETS
device (ACS8520/30) on the sync card. If a Semtech LC/P
part (ACS8525) is used on the line card, another possible
solution uses the ACS8946 after the Semtech LC/P part
to dejitter the LC/P device’s output.
In the first solution, Master/Slave phase alignment on
reference switchover is taken care of by a redundant pair
arrangement of SETS devices, which use their output
phase alignment features to ensure the ACS8946 is
supplied with input clocks that are very closely tied in
phase. Then, on a line card reference switch, the
ACS8946 acts as a simple MUX adding negligible phase
offset between the references, giving very low output
disturbance for the combined system, as well as
performing its dejittering function.
In the second, more sophisticated solution, the reference
switching capability of ACS8946 is not used, as this is
carried out by the SETS or LC/P part.
z
Typical final output jitter, e.g. 2.9 ps rms (measured
over the integration range 12 kHz - 20 MHz) dictated
by the ACS8946.
z
High frequency stability when all input clocks fail;
holdover frequency control to Stratum 3—dictated by
the ACS8525.
Input Jitter Tolerance
Jitter tolerance is defined as the maximum amplitude of
sinusoidal jitter that can exist on the input reference clock
above which the device fails to acquire/maintain lock.
For the stand-alone device, the jitter tolerance is shown in
Figure 4. for an undivided reference i.e. full rate PFD. For
frequencies below the PLL bandwidth, jitter tolerance is
seen to decrease at a rate of -20 dB per decade. For jitter
frequencies above the PLL bandwidth, jitter tolerance is
limited to 0.9 UI p-p.
Note...If the reference clock is divided, then the jitter tolerance
will be improved.
When the ACS8946 follows an ACS8525, the input jitter
tolerance is wholly defined by the ACS8525. The system
jitter tolerance is dramatically increased due to the
extended phase capture range of the digital PLL within the
ACS8525.
Figure 4 Jitter Tolerance ACS8946
Input Jitter Tolerance With 2kHz PLL Bandwidth
In both cases, the ACS8946 can be used as both an
output jitter cleaner, and as a rate converter (19.44 MHz
and above).

Input Jitter Amplitude p-p (U I)
One “Real World” application for the ACS8946 is to use it
to dejitter the 19.44 MHz output from a Semtech
ACS8525 LC/P device. In this case it is recommended to
set the ACS8946 PLL bandwidth to around 2 kHz to
provide a low jitter total solution. The test results detailed
in the Electrical Specifications section show the “Real
World” performance of this combination of parts which is
a superior solution to those traditionally using simple
discrete PLLs, and has the following advantages:

The filtering components are external so that the time to

application. The output indicates both phase and
frequency lock. During off-frequency conditions the
LOCKB output will be predominately high in its PWM
generation with the filtered version giving a constant high
state.
PLL Bandwidth Setting
The bandwidth is set by two identical sets of passive RC
components that connect to the differential charge pump
outputs and internal VCO control inputs. Pins VCN and

F8946D_012SimpStateDiag_01
The state diagram in Figure 11 shows a simplified view of
the automatic switching behavior in the presence of
activity alarms. The ALARMC_CO3 signal from the PFD is
used to disqualify a clock, and the signals ALARM1_CO0
and ALARM2_CO1 representing no activity on input
clocks CLK1 and CLK2 respectively, are used to
determine whether or not to select the remaining clock.
Switching between CLK1 and CLK2 is non-revertive.
With ALARMC_CO3 providing a view of the currently
selected clock that is independent to ALARM1_CO0 and
ALARM2_CO1 signals, source selection behavior can be
more complex when these alarm signals disagree, and so
the state machine is necessarily more complex than the
one shown here in order to accommodate such behavior
e.g. when a clock signal is disconnected for a very short
period of time, or when an input clock is running at the
wrong frequency. If further details are required contact
Semtech Sales Support.
Output Configuration
The output spot frequency selection for OUT1 is
asynchronously controlled by the RATE1A/B select pins
(pins 47 and 48), which select one from a set of four
“Available Rates” that have been pre-selected at powerup by the wiring configuration of pins 18 and 19
(CFG_IN[1:0]). The wiring configuration of these two pins
preselects a set of any four out of seven rates:
19.44 MHz, 38.88 MHz, 77.76 MHz, 155.52 MHz,
311.04 MHz, 622.08 MHz and disabled, which means
that each of the four outputs can run independently at any
one of the four pre-selected rates - chosen by the AB value
in Table 11 and odd divisions thereof as defined by the
start-up configuration of CFG_IN2/CFG_IN3 and/or
CFG_IN6/CFG-IN7 respectively).
OUT2 is asynchronously controlled by the RATE2A/B
select pins (pins 45 and 46) in the same way as OUT1.
Outputs OUT3 and OUT4 cannot be controlled
asynchronously; the output frequency selection is
controlled at power-up or on reset by a combination of the
connections of CFG_IN[1:0] and CFG_IN[5:4] to either
VSS, VDD, ALARM1_CO0 (pin 13) or ALARM2_CO1 (pin
14). Given the four Available Rates have been configured
as described previously, which one of these four rates is
available on OUT3 is then dependent on the connections
of the CFG_IN4 and CFG_IN5 pins to either VSS, VDD,
ALARM1_CO0 (pin 13) or ALARM2_CO1 (pin 14)—see
Table 12.
The method to configure the device is summarized as
follows:

A higher degree of flexibility and programmability is
possible via the use of configuration pins on the device.
Permanent connections made externally from
CFG_IN[7:0] pins to the configuration output pins

Define/change the frequencies of the dynamically
controllable outputs OUT1/OUT2 by driving the
RATE[2:1]A/B pins high or low in accordance with the
AB pattern for the required frequency as given in
Table 11.
Using CFG_IN[3:2], select the output interface type
(CML/LVPECL) for outputs OUT1 and OUT2. (See
Table 10).
Using CFG_IN[7:6], enable/disable LOCKB, select the
required output interface type for OUT3/OUT4 and set
any odd division. If odd division is not required, set to
1. (See Table 13).
Example Configuration
Decide which set of four output rates is most appropriate
for the application and look for the configuration that
provides these “Available Rates” in Table 11. E.g. If
77.76 MHz, 38.88 MHz, 19.44 MHz and 0ff are required,
then configuration No. 34 in Table 11 will suffice, i.e.
connect CFG_IN0 to ALARMC_CO3 and connect CFG_IN1
to CFG_OUT2.
To set OUT3 or OUT4 requires the additional configuration
of CFG_IN4 and CFG_IN5 as given by Table 12 (which also
configures RESYNC Edge). If OUT4 is required to be set to
“Off”, since “Off” has already been defined by previous
selection as AB=00 in Table 11, then look up the 00
pattern in Table 12, under “resulting RATE 4[AB]” (giving
DATASHEET
rows 0 to3 and 16 to 19). Now refine the selection such
that OUT 3 provides 19.44 MHz output (AB=01) and a
rising RESYNC edge is required - this points to row 17 only,
i.e. connect CFG_IN4 to ALARM1_CO0 and connect
CFG_IN5 to ALARMC-CO3.
Set each of OUT[2:1] to one of these four Available Rates,
as required using the rate selection pins, e.g. to set
Output OUT2 to output 38.88 MHz, set RATE2A =1 and
RATE2B=0.
To configure an input to the required frequency of
77.76 MHz (and Output technology for OUT 1 and OUT2
only to CML), configure CFG_IN2 to GND and CFG_IN3 to
CFG_OUT2 as per row 2 in Table 10.
Table 13 provides the configuration information for using
pins CFG_IN[7:6] to configure whether LOCKB is enabled
or disabled, the value of the odd divider, and the port
interface type for OUT3 and OUT4. For example, assuming
LVPECL interface type is required, LOCKB is to be enabled
and the output rates (set previously according to Tables
11 and 12) are to be divided by 5 to give “Available
Rates” of Off, 3.888 MHz,7.776 MHz, 15.552 MHz, then
use the configuration in row 9 of Table 13, i.e. wire
CFG_IN6 to VDD and CFG_IN7 to ALARM2_CO1. The
corresponding frequency selections made for OUT[4:1]

Notes: (i) Use the “Available Rates” columns as follows: Select a row of 4 “Available Rates”, then, to assign any one of these four frequencies
to a particular output, read off the AB value associated with that frequency and apply this value to the rate selection pins or internal
signals for that output, e.g. set as High(1) or Low (0) the signals on pin pairs RATE1A and RATE1B for OUT1, RATE 2A and RATE2B
for OUT2, and internal signal pairs RATE3A and RATE3B for OUT3, and RATE4A and RATE4B for OUT4.
(ii) Available Rates shown assume standard SONET rates and no odd dividers.

Output Jitter
Layout Recommendations
The output jitter meets all requirements of ITU, Telcordia
and ETSI standards for SONET rates up to 622.08 MHz
(OC-12/STM-4). See the “Electrical Specifications”
sections for details on the jitter figures across the
different output jitter frequency bands relevant to each
specification.
It is highly recommended to use a stable and filtered 3.3 V
power supply to the device. A separate filtered power and
ground plane is recommended with supply decoupling
capacitors of 10 nF and 100 pF utilizing good high
frequency chip capacitors (0402 or 0603 format surfacemount package) on each VDD. Good differential signal
layout on the input and output lines should be used to
ensure matched track impedance and phase. Contact
Semtech directly for further layout recommendations.
The recommended bandwidth of around 2 kHz is suitable
for both meeting the specification on output jitter
generation requirements and for filtering out the input
jitter from the input clock.
System Reset
After power-up or a system reset via the RESETB (pin 40),
the internal control logic waits for the presence of an input
signal of approximately the correct frequency (at least
40% of the nominal) and then allows a further settling
time of 60 ms before allowing internal frequency tuning,
frequency-locking and phase-locking on to the input clock.
Consequently reset should be removed only when the
input frequency is within 400 ppm of the nominal
frequency.

ACS8946 JAM PLL
ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS
Applications
FINAL
The ACS8946 is targeted at applications requiring clock
cleaning, where input jitter is filtered out or attenuated at
frequencies above the ACS8946 PLL bandwidth, and at
those requiring protection switching. It also performs the
function of a clock multiplying unit (CMU) translating from
one common spot frequency to one of six spot
frequencies (and/or odd divisions thereof) independently
on each of its four outputs.
The ACS8946 can save space when compared with
discrete analog + VCXO solutions or module-based
solutions. In the example in Figure 12 the ACS8946 is
shown symbolically as a line card dejittering and clock
multiplying device, providing additional jitter cleaning and
DATASHEET
frequency translation of the output clocks from a Semtech
Line Card Protection device.
Figure 13 shows a non-specific example schematic which
represents a generic line card design, and demonstrates
the I/O connections, configuration controls on the device
and the appropriate terminations in different
CML/LVPECL technologies, with only the parts relevant to
the handling of clocks being shown. This example could
be used as a solution for less stringent applications where
the ACS8946 could carry out the basic clock protection
function in place of a Semtech Line Card Protection
device, although it could not, for example, perform group
(Clock and Sync) switching, frequency monitoring, or other
functions available with members of the Semtech LC/P
family of parts.

Input and Output Interface Terminations
Interfacing to either the same type or electrically different
interface types is illustrated by the following circuit
diagrams in Figures 14 to 19.
In applications where the output clocks are always
running, they may be A.C. coupled, allowing the receive
end to be at any common mode voltage, however, the
lines must always be terminated at their characteristic
impedance.
The preferred termination for the CML type output is 50 Ω
to VDD, as shown in Figure 14. A.C. coupling may be used
subsequently to translate the levels to other interface
types, e.g. to LVPECL/LVDS as shown in Figure 15.
The example of Figure 17 shows LVPECL to LVPECL
terminations with D.C. coupling, so that the ACS8946
sees an equivalent load of around 50 Ω from the resistor
Revision 3/November 2006 © Semtech Corp.
arrangement at the receiver end. Note that signal levels
given in the accompanying graph are nominal levels at
622.08 MHz, and will change with load.
The preferred termination circuitry for the LVDS signals
between the ACS8525/26/27 and the ACS8946 LVPECL
is shown in Figure 19. The bias for the LVPECL input is set
for A.C. inputs at a mid point of approximately 2 V (with a
3.3 V VDD), as opposed to a normal D.C. coupled bias of
VDD - 2 V. This is due to the push-pull nature of an A.C.
coupled signal.
Note: Where inputs to the ACS8946 are AC coupled,
problems may be experienced with activity detection. This
is due to noise/cross-talk on the inputs being interpreted
as activity. To avoid this, DC couple wherever possible and
if AC coupling must be used, consider offsetting the DC
bias of the N and P signals, see Figure 16.

Thermal Conditions
FINAL
The device is rated for full temperature range when this
package is used with a 4-layer or more PCB. Copper
coverage must exceed 50%. All pins must be soldered to
the PCB. Maximum operating temperature must be
reduced when the device is used with a PCB with less than
these requirements.
As the device includes a large thermal die paddle ground
connection which must be soldered to the PCB in addition
to the pins, giving improved pull-off strength and thermal
dissipation characteristics as well as the necessary
grounding.
DATASHEET
Although not essential for the ACS8946, one technique
that may be used to improve heat dissipation from
through the large centre pad is to include a thermal
landing the same size as the centre pad on the
component side of the board (and one on the opposite
side of the PCB) connected to analog ground using a
number of thermal vias, approximately 0.33 mm
diameter. These vias should be completely connected
(flooded over) to the thermal landing(s) as well as to
internal ground planes if using a multi-layer PCB. 3 x 3
vias pitched at 1.27 mm between via centres would be
more than sufficient for the ACS8946 if this method were
adopted.

DATASHEET
when the design is being realized but is not yet physically
available, and the datasheet content reflects the
intention of the design. The datasheet is raised to
PRELIMINARY status when initial prototype devices are
physically available, and the datasheet content more
accurately represents the realization of the design. The
datasheet is only raised to FINAL status after the device
has been fully characterized, and the datasheet content
updated with measured, rather than simulated parameter
values.
