MOTOROLA MPC974

SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNICAL DATA
The MPC974 is a fully integrated PLL based clock generator and clock
distribution chip which operates from a 3.3V supply. The MPC974 is
ideally suited for high speed, timing critical designs which need a high
level of clock fanout. The device features 15 high drive LVCMOS outputs,
each output has the capability of driving a 50Ω parallel terminated
transmission line or two 50Ω series terminated transmission lines on the
incident edge.

establishing output frequency relationships of 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 3:2 and 3:2:1.
In addition, the device features a separate feedback output which allows
for a wide variety of input/output frequency multiplication alternatives.

flexibility and general purpose usage.
CASE 848D-03
The TCLK0 and TCLK1 inputs provide a method for dynamically
switching the PLL between two different clock sources. The PLL has been
optimized to provide small deviations in output pulse width and well
controlled, slow transition back to lock when the inputs are switched
between two references that are equal in frequency but out of phase with
each other. This feature makes the MPC974 an ideal solution for fault
tolerant applications which require redundant clock sources.
All of the control pins are LVTTL/LVCMOS level inputs. The Fsel pins control the VCO divide ratios that are applied to the
various output banks and the feedback output. The MR input will reset the internal flip flops and place the outputs in high
impedance when driven LOW. The OE pin will force all of the outputs except the feedback output LOW to allow for acquiring
phase lock prior to providing clocks to the rest of the system. Note that the OE pin is not synchronized to the internal clock. As a
result, the initial pulse after de–assertion of the OE pin may be distorted. The PLL_En pin allows the PLL to be bypassed for
board level functional test. When bypassed the signal on the selected TCLK will be routed around the PLL and will drive the
internal dividers directly.
The MPC974 is packaged in the 52–lead TQFP package to provide optimum electrical performance as well as minimize board
space requirements. The device is specified for 3.3V VCC.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
which the PLL will be stable. The design of the PLL is such
that for output frequencies between 10 and 125MHz the
MPC974 can generally be configured into a stable region.
The relationship between the input reference and the
output frequency is also very flexible. The separate PLL
feedback output allows for a wide range of output vs input
frequency relationships. Function Table 1 can be used to
identify the potential relationships available. Figure 3
illustrates several programming possibilities, although not
exhaustive it is representative of the potential applications.
Programming the MPC974
The MPC974 clock driver outputs can be configured into
several frequency relationships, in addition the external
feedback option allows for a great deal of flexibility in
establishing unique input–to–output frequency relationships.
The output dividers for the four output groups allows the user
to configure the outputs into 1:1, 2:1, 3:2 and 3:2:1 frequency
ratios. The use of even dividers ensures that the output duty
cycle is always 50%. Function Table 1 illustrates the various
output configurations, the table describes the outputs using
the VCO frequency as a reference. As an example for a 3:2:1
relationship the Qa outputs would be set at VCO/2, the Qb’s
and Qc’s at VCO/4 and the Qd’s at VCO/6. These settings
will provide output frequencies with a 3:2:1 relationship.
Using the MPC974 as a Zero Delay Buffer
The external feedback option of the MPC974 clock driver
allows for its use as a zero delay buffer. By using one of the
outputs as a feedback to the PLL the propagation delay
through the device is near zero. The PLL works to align the
output edge with the input reference edge thus producing a
near zero delay. The static phase offset is a function of the
input reference frequency of the MPC974. The Tpd of the
device is specified in the specification tables.
The division settings establish the output relationship, but
one must still ensure that the VCO will be stable given the
frequency of the outputs desired. The VCO lock range can be
found in the specification tables. The feedback frequency
should be used to situate the VCO into a frequency range in

Figure 3. MPC974 Programming Schemes
To minimize part–to–part skew the external feedback
option again should be used. The PLL in the MPC974
decouples the delay of the device from the propagation delay
variations of the internal gates. From the specification table
one sees a Tpd variation of only ±150ps, thus for multiple
devices under identical configurations the part–to–part skew
will be around 850ps (300ps for Tpd variation plus 350ps
output–to–output skew plus 200ps for jitter). To minimize this
value, the highest possible reference frequencies should be
used. Higher reference frequencies will minimize both the tpd
parameter as well as the input to output jitter.

Power Supply Filtering
The MPC974 is a mixed analog/digital product and
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 MPC974 provides separate
power supplies for the output buffers (VCCO) 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 MPC974.
TIMING SOLUTIONS
BR1333 — Rev 6
Figure 4. Power Supply Filter
Figure 4 illustrates a typical power supply filter scheme.
The MPC974 is most susceptible to noise with spectral
content in the 1KHz 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 MPC974. 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 4 must have a resistance of 10–15Ω to meet

MPC974
When taken to its extreme the fanout of the MPC974 clock
driver is effectively doubled due to its capability to drive
multiple lines.
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.
The waveform plots of Figure 6 show the simulation
results of an output driving a single line vs two lines. In both
cases the drive capability of the MPC974 output buffers is
more than sufficient to drive 50Ω transmission lines on the
incident edge. Note from the delay measurements in the
simulations a delta of only 43ps exists between the two
differently loaded outputs. This suggests that the dual line
driving need not be used exclusively to maintain the tight
output–to–output skew of the MPC974. The output waveform
in Figure 6 shows a step in the waveform, this step is caused
by the impedance mismatch seen looking into the driver. The
parallel combination of the 43Ω series resistor plus the output
impedance does not match the parallel combination of the
line impedances. The voltage wave launched down the two
lines will equal:
Although the MPC974 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 schemes discussed in this section should be
adequate to eliminate power supply noise related problems
in most designs.
Driving Transmission Lines
The MPC974 clock driver was designed to drive high
speed signals in a terminated transmission line environment.
To provide the optimum flexibility to the user the output
drivers were designed to exhibit the lowest impedance
possible. With an output impedance of less than 10Ω the
drivers can drive either parallel or series terminated
transmission lines. For more information on transmission
lines the reader is referred to application note AN1091 in the
Timing Solutions brochure (BR1333/D).

At the load end the voltage will double, due to the near
unity reflection coefficient, to 2.8V. It will then increment
towards the quiescent 3.0V in steps separated by one round
trip delay (in this case 4.0ns).
OutB1
Figure 5. Single versus Dual Transmission Lines
Since this step is well above the threshold region it will not
cause any false clock triggering, however designers may be
uncomfortable with unwanted reflections on the line. To
better match the impedances when driving multiple lines the
situation in Figure 7 should be used. In this case the series
terminating resistors are reduced such that when the parallel
combination is added to the output buffer impedance the line
impedance is perfectly matched.
In most high performance clock networks point–to–point
distribution of signals is the method of choice. In a
point–to–point scheme either series terminated or parallel
terminated transmission lines can be used. The parallel
technique terminates the signal at the end of the line with a
50Ω resistance to VCC/2. This technique draws a fairly high
level of DC current and thus only a single terminated line can
be driven by each output of the MPC974 clock driver. For the
series terminated case however there is no DC current draw,
thus the outputs can drive multiple series terminated lines.
Figure 5 illustrates an output driving a single series
terminated line vs two series terminated lines in parallel.
