MOTOROLA MPC992

SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNICAL DATA
The MPC992 is a 3.3V compatible, PLL based PECL clock generator
and distributor. The fully differential design ensures optimum skew and
PLL jitter performance. The performance of the device makes the
MPC992 ideal for workstations, main frame computer, telecommunication
and instrumentation applications. The device offers a crystal oscillator or
a differential PECL reference clock input to provide flexibility in the
reference clock interface. All of the control signals to the MPC992 are
LVTTL compatible inputs.

The MPC992 offers two banks of outputs which can be configured into
four different relationships. The output banks can be configured into 2:1,
3:1, 3:2 and 5:2 ratios to provide a wide variety of potential frequency
outputs. In addition to these two banks of outputs a synchronization output is also offered. The SYNC output will provide
information as to the time when the two output banks will transition positively in phase. This information can be important when
the odd ratios are used as it provides for a baseline point in the system timing. The SYNC output will pulse high for one Qa clock
period, centered on the rising Qa clock edge four edges prior to the Qb synchronous edge. The relationship is illustrated in the
timing diagrams in the data sheet.
The MPC992 offers several features to aid in system debug and test. The PECL reference input pins can be interfaced to a test
signal and the PLL can be bypassed to allow the designer to drive the MPC992 outputs directly. This allows for single stepping in
a system functional debug mode. In addition an overriding reset is provided which will force all of the Q outputs LOW upon
assertion.
The MPC992 is packaged in a 32–lead TQFP package to optimize both performance and board density.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
eliminates the need for large on–board capacitors. Because
the design is a series resonant design, for optimum
frequency accuracy a series resonant crystal should be used
(see specification table below). Unfortunately most off the
shelf crystals are characterized in a parallel resonant mode.
However a parallel resonant crystal is physically no different
than a series resonant crystal, a parallel resonant crystal is
simply a crystal which has been characterized in its parallel
resonant mode. Therefore in the majority of cases a parallel
specified crystal can be used with the MPC992 with just a
minor frequency error due to the actual series resonant
frequency of the parallel resonant specified crystal. Typically
Using the On–Board Crystal Oscillator
The MPC992 features an on–board crystal oscillator to
allow for seed clock generation as well as final distribution.
The on–board oscillator is completely self contained so that
the only external component required is the crystal. As the
oscillator is somewhat sensitive to loading on its inputs the
user is advised to mount the crystal as close to the MPC992
as possible to avoid any board level parasitics. To facilitate
co–location surface mount crystals are recommended, but
not required.
The oscillator circuit is a series resonant circuit as
opposed to the more common parallel resonant circuit, this

Figure 3 illustrates a typical power supply filter scheme.
The MPC992 is most susceptible to noise with spectral
content in the 10kHz to 1MHz range. Therefore the filter
should be designed to target this range. The key parameter
that needs to be met in the final filter design is the DC voltage
drop that will be seen between the VCC supply and the VCCA
pin of the MPC992. From the data sheet the IVCCA current
(the current sourced through the VCCA pin) is typically 15mA
(20mA maximum), assuming that a minimum of 3.0V must be
maintained on the VCCA pin very little DC voltage drop can
be tolerated when a 3.3V VCC supply is used. The resistor
shown in Figure 3 must have a resistance of 10–15Ω to meet
the voltage drop criteria. The RC filter pictured will provide a
broadband filter with approximately 100:1 attenuation for
noise whose spectral content is above 20KHz. As the noise
frequency crosses the series resonant point of an individual
capacitor it’s overall impedance begins to look inductive and
thus increases with increasing frequency. The parallel
capacitor combination shown ensures that a low impedance
path to ground exists for frequencies well above the
bandwidth of the PLL.
a parallel specified crystal used in a series resonant mode
will exhibit an oscillatory frequency a few hundred ppm lower
than the specified value. For most processor implementa–
tions a few hundred ppm translates into kHz inaccuracies, a
level which does not represent a major issue.
Figure 2 shows an optional series capacitor in the crystal
oscillator interface. The on–board oscillator introduces a
small phase shift in the overall loop which causes the
oscillator to operate at a frequency slightly slower than the
specified crystal. The series capacitor is used to compensate
the loop and allow the oscillator to function at the specified
crystal frequency. If a 100ppm type error is not important, the
capacitor can be left off the PCB. For more detailed
information, order Motorola Application Note AN1579/D.

Figure 3. Power Supply Filter
A higher level of attenuation can be achieved by replacing
the resistor with an appropriate valued inductor. A 1000µH
choke will show a significant impedance at 10KHz
frequencies and above. Because of the current draw and the
voltage that must be maintained on the VCCA pin a low DC
resistance inductor is required (less than 15Ω). Generally the
resistor/capacitor filter will be cheaper, easier to implement
and provide an adequate level of supply filtering.
Power Supply Filtering
The MPC992 is a mixed analog/digital product and as
such it exhibits some sensitivities that would not necessarily
be seen on a fully digital product. Analog circuitry is naturally
susceptible to random noise, especially if this noise is seen
on the power supply pins. The MPC992 provides separate
power supplies for the digital circuitry (VCCI) and the internal
PLL (VCCA) of the device. The purpose of this design
technique is to try and isolate the high switching noise digital
outputs from the relatively sensitive internal analog
phase–locked loop. In a controlled environment such as an
evaluation board this level of isolation is sufficient. However,
in a digital system environment where it is more difficult to
minimize noise on the power supplies a second level of
isolation may be required. The simplest form of isolation is a
power supply filter on the VCCA pin for the MPC992.

The MPC992 provides sub–nanosecond output edge
rates and thus a good power supply bypassing scheme is a
must. The important aspect of the layout for the MPC992 is
low impedance connections between VCC and GND for the
bypass capacitors. Combining good quality general purpose
chip capacitors with good PCB layout techniques will
produce effective capacitor resonances at frequencies
adequate to supply the instantaneous switching current for
the MPC992 outputs. It is imperative that low inductance chip
capacitors are used; it is equally important that the board
layout does not introduce back all of the inductance saved by
using the leadless capacitors. Thin interconnect traces
between the capacitor and the power plane should be
avoided and multiple large vias should be used to tie the

circuitry will be adversely affected by activity on the
PECL_CLK inputs. Therefore, it is recommended that the
PECL input signals be static when the crystal oscillator
circuitry is being used.
Although the MPC992 has several design features to
minimize the susceptibility to power supply noise (isolated
power and grounds and fully differential PLL) there still may
be applications in which overall performance is being
degraded due to system power supply noise. The power
supply filter and bypass schemes discussed in this section
should be adequate to eliminate power supply noise related
problems in most designs.
capacitors to the buried power planes. Fat interconnect and
large vias will help to minimize layout induced inductance and
thus maximize the series resonant point of the bypass
capacitors.
No active signal lines should pass below the crystal
interface to the MPC992. The oscillator is a series resonant
circuit and the voltage amplitude across the crystal is
relatively small. It is imperative that no actively switching
signals cross under the crystal as crosstalk energy coupled
to these lines could significantly impact the jitter of the device.
Special attention should be paid to the layout of the crystal to
ensure a stable, jitter free interface between the crystal and
the on–board oscillator. In addition, the crystal interface
