DSC400 Configurable Four Output, Low Jitter Crystal-less™ Clock Generator General Description The DSC400 is a four output crystal-less™ clock generator. It utilizes Micrel’s proven PureSilicon™ MEMS technology to provide excellent jitter and stability while incorporating additional device functionality. The frequencies of the outputs can be identical or independently derived from common PLLs. Each output may be configured independently to support a single ended LVCMOS interface or a differential interface. Differential options include LVPECL, LVDS, or HCSL. The DSC400 provides two independent select lines for choosing between two sets of preconfigured frequencies per bank. It also has two OE pins to allow for enabling and disabling outputs. The DSC400 is packaged in a 20-pin QFN (5mm x 3.2mm) and is available in extended commercial and industrial temperature grades.

Unlike older clock generators in the industry, it does not require an external crystal to operate; it relies on the integrated MEMS resonator that interfaces with internal PLLs. This technology enhances performance and reliability by allowing tighter frequency stability over a far wider temperature range. In addition, the higher resistance to shock and vibration decreases the aging rate to allow for much improved product life in the system. Inputs There are 4 input signals in the device. Each has an internal (40kΩ) pull up to default the selection to a high (1). Inputs can be controlled through hardware strapping method with a resistor to ground to assert the input low (0). Inputs may also be controlled by other components’ GPIOs In case more than one frequency set is desired, FSB1 and FSB2 are used for independently selecting one of two sets per bank. FSB1 selects the pre-configured set on Bank1 (CLK0 and CLK3) and FSB2 selects the pre-configured set on Bank2 (CLK1 and CLK2), as shown in table 2. If there is a requirement to disable outputs, the inputs OE1 and OE2 are used in conjunction to disable the banks of outputs. Outputs are disabled in tristate (Hi-Z) mode, see Table 1 below. Table 1: Output Enable (OE) Selection Table OE1 OE2 Bank1 (CLK0 & CLK3) Bank2 (CLK1 & CLK2) 0 0 Hi-Z Hi-Z 0 1 Hi-Z Running 1 0 Running Hi-Z 1 1 Running Running Outputs The four outputs are grouped into two banks. Each bank is supplied by an independent VDD to allow for optimized noise isolation between the two banks. Each bank provides two synchronous outputs generated by a common PLL: Bank1 is composed of outputs CLK0 and CLK3 Bank2 is composed of outputs CLK1 and CLK2 Each output maybe pre-configured independently to be one of the following formats: LVCMOS, LVDS, LVPECL or HCSL. In case the output is configured to be the single ended LVCMOS, the frequency is generated on the true output (CLKx+) and the complement output (CLKx-) is shut off in a low state. Frequencies can be chosen from 2.3MHz to 460MHz for differential outputs and from 2.3MHz to 170MHz on LVCMOS outputs. Power VDD1 and VDD2 supply the power to banks 1 and 2 respectively. Each VDD may have different supply voltage from the other as long as it is within the 2.25V to 3.6V range. Each VDD pin should have a 0.1µF capacitor to filter high frequency noise. VSS is common to the entire device. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________ DSC400 Page 3 DSC400 Configurable Four Output, Low Jitter Crystal-less™ Clock Generator Ordering Information (Example shown in red font) DSC400- 4 3 2 1 Q x x x x K E 1 T 4 T T CLK3 Output Format 0: off 1: LVCMOS 2: LVPECL 3: LVDS 4: HCSL Packing T: Tape & Reel Stability 1: ±50ppm 2: ±25ppm CLK2 Output Format 1: LVCMOS 2: LVPECL 3: LVDS 4: HCSL Temp Range E: -20ºC to 70ºC I: -40ºC to 85º Package K: 20 QFN CLK1 Output Format 0: off 1: LVCMOS 2: LVPECL 3: LVDS 4: HCSL Frequency Code Qxxxx is assigned by factory; see Table2 CLK0 Output Format 1: LVCMOS 2: LVPECL 3: LVDS 4: HCSL Factory configuration code assignment of Qxxxx The DSC400 is meant for customers to define their own frequency requirements at the four available outputs.
