Functional Description
The MT9046 is a Multitrunk System Synchronizer with frequency holdover capability, providing timing (clock) and
synchronization (frame) signals to interface circuits for T1 and E1 Primary Rate Digital Transmission links. Figure 1
is a functional block diagram which is described in the following sections.
Reference Select MUX Circuit
The MT9046 accepts two simultaneous reference input signals and operates on their falling edges. Either the
primary reference (PRI) signal or the secondary reference (SEC) signal can be selected as input to the TIE
Corrector Circuit. The selection is based on the Control, Mode and Reference Selection of the device. See Table 1
and Table 4.
Frequency Select MUX Circuit
The MT9046 operates with one of four possible input reference frequencies (8 kHz, 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz or
19.44 MHz). The frequency select inputs (FS1 and FS2) determine which of the four frequencies may be used at
the reference inputs (PRI and SEC). Both inputs must have the same frequency applied to them. A reset (RST)
must be performed after every frequency select input change. See Table 1.

Time Interval Error (TIE) Corrector Circuit
The TIE corrector circuit, when enabled, prevents a step change in phase on the input reference signals (PRI or
SEC) from causing a step change in phase at the input of the DPLL block of Figure 1.
During reference input rearrangement, such as during a switch from the primary reference (PRI) to the secondary
reference (SEC), a step change in phase on the input signals will occur. A phase step at the input of the DPLL
would lead to unacceptable phase changes in the output signal.

Figure 3 - TIE Corrector Circuit
As shown in Figure 3, the TIE Corrector Circuit receives one of the two reference (PRI or SEC) signals, passes the
signal through a programmable delay line, and uses this delayed signal as an internal virtual reference, which is
input to the DPLL. Therefore, the virtual reference is a delayed version of the selected reference.
During a switch from one reference to the other, the State Machine first changes the mode of the device
from Normal to Holdover. In Holdover Mode, the DPLL no longer uses the virtual reference signal, but generates an
accurate clock signal using storage techniques. The Compare Circuit then measures the phase delay between the
current phase (feedback signal) and the phase of the new reference signal. This delay value is passed to the
Programmable Delay Circuit (See Figure 3). The new virtual reference signal is now at the same phase position as
the previous reference signal would have been if the reference switch not taken place. The State Machine then
returns the device to Normal Mode.
The DPLL now uses the new virtual reference signal, and since no phase step took place at the input of the DPLL,
no phase step occurs at the output of the DPLL. In other words, reference switching will not create a phase change
at the input of the DPLL, or at the output of the DPLL.
Since internal delay circuitry maintains the alignment between the old virtual reference and the new virtual
reference, a phase error may exist between the selected input reference signal and the output signal of the DPLL.
This phase error is a function of the difference in phase between the two input reference signals during reference
rearrangements. Each time a reference switch is made, the delay between input signal and output signal will
change. The value of this delay is the accumulation of the error measured during each reference switch.
The programmable delay circuit can be zeroed by applying a logic low pulse to the TIE Circuit Reset (TCLR) pin. A
minimum reset pulse width is 300 ns. This results in a phase alignment between the input reference signal and the
output signal as shown in Figure 14. The speed of the phase alignment correction is limited to 5 ns per 125 us, and
convergence is in the direction of least phase travel.
The state diagram of Figure 7 indicates which state changes the TIE Corrector Circuit is activated.
Digital Phase Lock Loop (DPLL)
As shown in Figure 4, the DPLL of the MT9046 consists of a Phase Detector, Limiter, Loop Filter, Digitally
Controlled Oscillator, and a Control Circuit.

Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
MT9046
Data Sheet
Phase Detector - the Phase Detector compares the virtual reference signal from the TIE Corrector circuit with the
feedback signal from the Frequency Select MUX circuit, and provides an error signal corresponding to the phase
difference between the two. This error signal is passed to the Limiter circuit. The Frequency Select MUX allows the
proper feedback signal to be externally selected (e.g., 8 kHz, 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz or 19.44 MHz).

Limiter - the Limiter receives the error signal from the Phase Detector and ensures that the DPLL responds to all
input transient conditions with a maximum output phase slope of 5 ns per 125 us. This is well within the maximum
phase slope of 7.6 ns per 125 us or 81 ns per 1.326 ms specified by AT&T TR62411 and Bellcore GR-1244-CORE,
respectively.
Loop Filter - the Loop Filter is similar to a first order low pass filter with a 1.9 Hz cutoff frequency for all four
reference frequency selections (8 kHz, 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz or 19.44 MHz). This filter ensures that the jitter
transfer requirements in ETS 300 011 and AT&T TR62411 are met.
Control Circuit - the Control Circuit uses status and control information from the State Machine and the Input
Impairment Circuit to set the mode of the DPLL. The three possible modes are Normal, Holdover and Freerun.
Digitally Controlled Oscillator (DCO) - the DCO receives the limited and filtered signal from the Loop Filter, and
based on its value, generates a corresponding digital output signal. The synchronization method of the DCO is
dependent on the state of the MT9046.
In Normal Mode, the DCO provides an output signal which is frequency and phase locked to the selected input
reference signal.
In Holdover Mode, the DCO is free running at a frequency equal to the last (less 30 ms to 60 ms) frequency the
DCO was generating while in Normal Mode.
In Freerun Mode, the DCO is free running with an accuracy equal to the accuracy of the OSCi 20 MHz source.
Lock Indicator - If the PLL is in frequency lock (frequency lock means the center frequency of the PLL is identical to
the line frequency), and the input phase offset is small enough such that no phase slope limiting is exhibited, then
the lock signal will be set high. For specific Lock Indicator design recommendations see the Applications - Lock
Indicator section.
Output Interface Circuit
The output of the DCO (DPLL) is used by the Output Interface Circuit to provide the output signals shown in Figure
5. The Output Interface Circuit uses four Tapped Delay Lines followed by a T1 Divider Circuit, an E1 Divider Circuit,
and a DS2 Divider Circuit to generate the required output signals.
Four tapped delay lines are used to generate 16.384 MHz, 12.352 MHz, 12.624 MHz and 19.44 MHz signals.

The E1 Divider Circuit uses the 16.384 MHz signal to generate four clock outputs and three frame pulse outputs.
The C8o, C4o and C2o clocks are generated by simply dividing the C16o clock by two, four and eight respectively.
These outputs have a nominal 50% duty cycle.
The T1 Divider Circuit uses the 12.384 MHz signal to generate the C1.5o clock by dividing the internal C12 clock
by eight. This output has a nominal 50% duty cycle.
The DS2 Divider Circuit uses the 12.624 MHz signal to generate the clock output C6o. This output has a nominal
50% duty cycle.

The frame pulse outputs (F0o, F8o, F16o, TSP, and RSP) are generated directly from the C16 clock.
The T1 and E1 signals are generated from a common DPLL signal. Consequently, all frame pulse and clock outputs
are locked to one another for all operating states, and are also locked to the selected input reference in Normal
Mode. See Figures 14 & 16.
All frame pulse and clock outputs have limited driving capability, and should be buffered when driving high
capacitance (e.g., 30 pF) loads.
Input Impairment Monitor
This circuit monitors the input signal to the DPLL and automatically enables the Holdover Mode (Auto-Holdover)
when the frequency of the incoming signal is outside the Auto-Holdover capture range. (See AC Electrical
Characteristics - Performance). This includes a complete loss of incoming signal, or a large frequency shift in the
incoming signal. When the incoming signal returns to normal, the DPLL is returned to Normal Mode with the output
signal locked to the input signal. The holdover output signal in the MT9046 is based on the incoming signal 30 ms
minimum to 60 ms prior to entering the Holdover Mode. The amount of phase drift while in holdover is negligible

State Machine Control
As shown in Figure 1, this state machine controls the Reference Select MUX, the TIE Corrector Circuit and the
DPLL. Control is based on the logic levels at the control inputs RSEL, MS1, MS2 and PCCi (See Figure 6). When
switching from Primary Holdover to Primary Normal, the TIE Corrector Circuit is enabled when PCCi = 1, and
disabled when PCCi = 0.
All state machine changes occur synchronously on the rising edge of F8o. See the Control and Mode of Operation
section for full details.

MT9046
Data Sheet
The MT9046 has three possible modes of operation, Normal, Holdover and Freerun.
As shown in Table 3, Mode/Control Select pins MS2 and MS1 select the mode and method of control. Refer to
Table 4 and Figure 7 for details of the state change sequences.
Normal Mode
Normal Mode is typically used when a slave clock source, synchronized to the network is required.
In Normal Mode, the MT9046 provides timing (C1.5o, C2o, C4o, C8o, C16o and C19o) and frame synchronization
(F0o, F8o, F16o, TSP and RSP) signals, which are synchronized to one of two reference inputs (PRI or SEC). The
input reference signal may have a nominal frequency of 8 kHz, 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz or 19.44 MHz.
From a reset condition, the MT9046 will take up to 30 seconds (see AC Electrical Characteristics) of input reference
signal to output signals which are synchronized (phase locked) to the reference input.
The selection of input references is control dependent as shown in state Table 4. The reference frequencies are
selected by the frequency control pins FS2 and FS1 as shown in Table 1.
Fast Lock Mode
Fast Lock Mode is a submode of Normal Mode, it is used to allow the MT9046 to lock to a reference more quickly
than Normal Mode will allow. Typically, the PLL will lock to the incoming reference within 500 ms if the FLOCK pin is
set high.
Holdover Mode
Holdover Mode is typically used for short durations (e.g., 2 seconds) while network synchronization is temporarily
disrupted.
In Holdover Mode, the MT9046 provides timing and synchronization signals, which are not locked to an external
reference signal, but are based on storage techniques. The storage value is determined while the device is in
Normal Mode and locked to an external reference signal
When in Normal Mode, and locked to the input reference signal, a numerical value corresponding to the MT9046
output reference frequency is stored alternately in two memory locations every 30 ms. When the device is switched
into Holdover Mode, the value in memory from between 30 ms and 60 ms is used to set the output frequency of the
device.
The frequency accuracy of Holdover Mode is ±0.2 ppm, which translates to a worst case 1 frame (125 us) slip in 10
minutes.
Two factors affect the accuracy of Holdover Mode. One is drift on the Master Clock while in Holdover Mode, drift on
the Master Clock directly affects the Holdover Mode accuracy. Note that the absolute Master Clock (OSCi)
accuracy does not affect Holdover accuracy, only the change in OSCi accuracy while in Holdover. For example, a
±32 ppm master clock may have a temperature coefficient of ±0.1ppm per degree C. So a ±10 degree change in
temperature, while the MT9046 is in Holdover Mode may result in an additional offset (over the ±0.2 ppm) in
frequency accuracy of ±1 ppm.
The other factor affecting accuracy is large jitter on the reference input prior (30 ms to 60 ms) to the mode switch.
For instance, jitter of 7.5 UI at 700 Hz may reduce the Holdover Mode accuracy from ±0.2 ppm to ±0.25 ppm.
10
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
MT9046
Data Sheet
Freerun Mode
Freerun Mode is typically used when a master clock source is required, or immediately following system power-up
before network synchronization is achieved.
In Freerun Mode, the MT9046 provides timing and synchronization signals which are based on the master clock
frequency (OSCi) only, and are not synchronized to the reference signals (PRI and SEC).
The accuracy of the output clock is equal to the accuracy of the master clock (OSCi). So if a ±32 ppm output clock
is required, the master clock must also be ±32 ppm. See Applications - Crystal and Clock Oscillator sections.
MT9046 Measures of Performance
The following are some synchronizer performance indicators and their corresponding definitions.
Intrinsic Jitter
Intrinsic jitter is the jitter produced by the synchronizing circuit and is measured at its output. It is measured by
applying a reference signal with no jitter to the input of the device, and measuring its output jitter. Intrinsic jitter may
also be measured when the device is in a non-synchronizing mode, such as free running or holdover, by measuring
the output jitter of the device. Intrinsic jitter is usually measured with various bandlimiting filters depending on the
applicable standards. In the MT9046, the intrinsic Jitter is limited to less than 0.02 UI on the 2.048 MHz and
1.544 MHz clocks.
Jitter Tolerance
Jitter tolerance is a measure of the ability of a PLL to operate properly (i.e., remain in lock and or regain lock in the
presence of large jitter magnitudes at various jitter frequencies) when jitter is applied to its reference. The applied
jitter magnitude and jitter frequency depends on the applicable standards.
Jitter Transfer
Jitter transfer or jitter attenuation refers to the magnitude of jitter at the output of a device for a given amount of jitter
at the input of the device. Input jitter is applied at various amplitudes and frequencies, and output jitter is measured
with various filters depending on the applicable standards.
For the MT9046, two internal elements determine the jitter attenuation. This includes the internal 1.9 Hz low pass
loop filter and the phase slope limiter. The phase slope limiter limits the output phase slope to 5 ns/125 us.
Therefore, if the input signal exceeds this rate, such as for very large amplitude low frequency input jitter, the
maximum output phase slope will be limited (i.e., attenuated) to 5 ns/125 us.
The MT9046 has twelve outputs with three possible input frequencies (except for 19.44 MHz, which is internally
divided to 8 KHz) for a total of 36 possible jitter transfer functions. Since all outputs are derived from the same
signal, the jitter transfer values for the four cases, 8 kHz to 8 kHz, 1.544 MHz to 1.544 MHz and 2.048 MHz to
2.048 MHz can be applied to all outputs.
It should be noted that 1 UI at 1.544 MHz is 644 ns, which is not equal to 1 UI at 2.048 MHz, which is 488 ns.
Consequently, a transfer value using different input and output frequencies must be calculated in common units
(e.g., seconds) as shown in the following example.
What is the T1 and E1 output jitter when the T1 input jitter is 20UI (T1 UI Units) and the T1 to T1 jitter attenuation is
18 dB?
Using the above method, the jitter attenuation can be calculated for all combinations of inputs and outputs based on
the three jitter transfer functions provided.

Note that the resulting jitter transfer functions for all combinations of inputs (8 kHz, 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz) and
outputs (8 kHz, 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz, 4.096 MHz, 8.192 MHz, 16.384 MHz, 19.44 MHz) for a given input signal
(jitter frequency and jitter amplitude) are the same.
Since intrinsic jitter is always present, jitter attenuation will appear to be lower for small input jitter signals than for
large ones. Consequently, accurate jitter transfer function measurements are usually made with large input jitter
signals (e.g., 75% of the specified maximum jitter tolerance).
Frequency Accuracy
Frequency accuracy is defined as the absolute tolerance of an output clock signal when it is not locked to an
external reference, but is operating in a free running mode. For the MT9046, the Freerun accuracy is equal to the
Master Clock (OSCi) accuracy.
Holdover Accuracy
Holdover accuracy is defined as the absolute tolerance of an output clock signal, when it is not locked to an external
reference signal, but is operating using storage techniques. For the MT9046, the storage value is determined while
the device is in Normal Mode and locked to an external reference signal.
The absolute Master Clock (OSCi) accuracy of the MT9046 does not affect Holdover accuracy, but the change in
OSCi accuracy while in Holdover Mode does.
Capture Range
Also referred to as pull-in range. This is the input frequency range over which the synchronizer must be able to pull
into synchronization. The MT9046 capture range is equal to ±230 ppm minus the accuracy of the master clock
(OSCi). For example, a 32 ppm master clock results in a capture range of 198 ppm.
Lock Range
This is the input frequency range over which the synchronizer must be able to maintain synchronization. The lock
range is equal to the capture range for the MT9046.
Phase Slope
Phase slope is measured in seconds per second and is the rate at which a given signal changes phase with respect
to an ideal signal. The given signal is typically the output signal. The ideal signal is of constant frequency and is
nominally equal to the value of the final output signal or final input signal.
Time Interval Error (TIE)
TIE is the time delay between a given timing signal and an ideal timing signal.
12
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
MT9046
Data Sheet
Maximum Time Interval Error (MTIE)
MTIE is the maximum peak to peak delay between a given timing signal and an ideal timing signal within a
particular observation period.
MTIE ( S ) = TIEmax ( t ) – TIEmin ( t )
Phase Continuity
Phase continuity is the phase difference between a given timing signal and an ideal timing signal at the end of a
particular observation period. Usually, the given timing signal and the ideal timing signal are of the same frequency.
Phase continuity applies to the output of the synchronizer after a signal disturbance due to a reference switch or a
mode change. The observation period is usually the time from the disturbance, to just after the synchronizer has
settled to a steady state.
In the case of the MT9046, the output signal phase continuity is maintained to within ±5 ns at the instance (over
one frame) of all reference switches and all mode changes. The total phase shift, depending on the switch or type
of mode change, may accumulate up to 200 ns over many frames. The rate of change of the 200 ns phase shift is
limited to a maximum phase slope of approximately 5 ns/125 us. This meets the AT&T TR62411 maximum phase
slope requirement of 7.6 ns/125 us and Bellcore GR-1244-CORE (81 ns/1.326 ms).
Phase Lock Time
This is the time it takes the synchronizer to phase lock to the input signal. Phase lock occurs when the input signal
and output signal are not changing in phase with respect to each other (not including jitter).
Lock time is very difficult to determine because it is affected by many factors which include:
•
initial input to output phase difference
•
initial input to output frequency difference
•
synchronizer loop filter
•
synchronizer limiter
Although a short lock time is desirable, it is not always possible to achieve due to other synchronizer requirements.
For instance, better jitter transfer performance is achieved with a lower frequency loop filter which increases lock
time. And better (smaller) phase slope performance (limiter) results in longer lock times. The MT9046 loop filter and
limiter were optimized to meet the AT&T TR62411 jitter transfer and phase slope requirements. Consequently,
phase lock time, which is not a standards requirement, may be longer than in other applications. See AC Electrical
Characteristics - Performance for Maximum Phase Lock TIme.
MT9046 provides a fast lock pin (FLOCK), which, when set high enables the PLL to lock to an incoming reference
within approximately 500 ms.
MT9046 Measures of Performance
The following are some synchronizer performance indicators and their corresponding definitions.
Intrinsic Jitter
Intrinsic jitter is the jitter produced by the synchronizing circuit and is measured at its output. It is measured by
applying a reference signal with no jitter to the input of the device, and measuring its output jitter. Intrinsic jitter may
also be measured when the device is in a non-synchronizing mode, such as free running or holdover, by measuring
the output jitter of the device. Intrinsic jitter is usually measured with various bandlimiting filters depending on the
applicable standards. In the MT9046, the intrinsic Jitter is limited to less than 0.02 UI on the 2.048 MHz and
1.544 MHz clocks.

Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
MT9046
Data Sheet
Jitter Tolerance
Jitter tolerance is a measure of the ability of a PLL to operate properly (i.e., remain in lock and or regain lock in the
presence of large jitter magnitudes at various jitter frequencies) when jitter is applied to its reference. The applied
jitter magnitude and jitter frequency depends on the applicable standards.
Jitter Transfer
Jitter transfer or jitter attenuation refers to the magnitude of jitter at the output of a device for a given amount of jitter
at the input of the device. Input jitter is applied at various amplitudes and frequencies, and output jitter is measured
with various filters depending on the applicable standards.
For the MT9046, two internal elements determine the jitter attenuation. This includes the internal 1.9 Hz low pass
loop filter and the phase slope limiter. The phase slope limiter limits the output phase slope to 5 ns/125 us.
Therefore, if the input signal exceeds this rate, such as for very large amplitude low frequency input jitter, the
maximum output phase slope will be limited (i.e., attenuated) to 5 ns/125 us.
The MT9046 has twelve outputs with three possible input frequencies (except for 19.44 MHz, which is internally
divided to 8 KHz) for a total of 36 possible jitter transfer functions. Since all outputs are derived from the same
signal, the jitter transfer values for the four cases, 8 kHz to 8 kHz, 1.544 MHz to 1.544 MHz and 2.048 MHz to
2.048 MHz can be applied to all outputs.
It should be noted that 1 UI at 1.544 MHz is 644 ns, which is not equal to 1 UI at 2.048 MHz, which is 488 ns.
Consequently, a transfer value using different input and output frequencies must be calculated in common units
(e.g., seconds) as shown in the following example.
What is the T1 and E1 output jitter when the T1 input jitter is 20 UI (T1 UI Units) and the T1 to T1 jitter attenuation is
18 dB?

OutputE1 = OutputT1 × ------------------- = 3.3UI ( T1 )
( 488ns )
Using the above method, the jitter attenuation can be calculated for all combinations of inputs and outputs based on
the three jitter transfer functions provided.
Note that the resulting jitter transfer functions for all combinations of inputs (8 kHz, 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz) and
outputs (8 kHz, 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz, 4.096 MHz, 8.192 MHz, 16.384 MHz, 19.44 MHz) for a given input signal

Applications
This section contains MT9046 application specific details for clock and crystal operation, reset operation, power
supply decoupling, and control operation.
Master Clock
The MT9046 can use either a clock or crystal as the master timing source.
In Freerun Mode, the frequency tolerance at the clock outputs is identical to the frequency tolerance of the source
at the OSCi pin. For applications not requiring an accurate Freerun Mode, tolerance of the master timing source
may be ±100 ppm. For applications requiring an accurate Freerun Mode, such as AT&T TR62411, the tolerance of
the master timing source must be no greater than ±32 ppm.
Another consideration in determining the accuracy of the master timing source is the desired capture range. The
sum of the accuracy of the master timing source and the capture range of the MT9046 will always equal 230 ppm.
For example, if the master timing source is 100 ppm, then the capture range will be 130 ppm.
Clock Oscillator - when selecting a Clock Oscillator, numerous parameters must be considered. This includes
absolute frequency, frequency change over temperature, output rise and fall times, output levels and duty cycle.

Figure 9 - Crystal Oscillator Circuit
The accuracy of a crystal oscillator depends on the crystal tolerance as well as the load capacitance tolerance.
Typically, for a 20 MHz crystal specified with a 32 pF load capacitance, each 1 pF change in load capacitance
contributes approximately 9 ppm to the frequency deviation. Consequently, capacitor tolerances, and stray
capacitances have a major effect on the accuracy of the oscillator frequency.
The trimmer capacitor shown in Figure 9 may be used to compensate for capacitive effects. If accuracy is not a
concern, then the trimmer may be removed, the 39 pF capacitor may be increased to 56 pF, and a wider tolerance
crystal may be substituted.
The crystal should be a fundamental mode type - not an overtone. The fundamental mode crystal permits a simpler
oscillator circuit with no additional filter components and is less likely to generate spurious responses. The crystal
specification is as follows.

TIE Correction (using PCCi)
When Primary Holdover Mode is entered for short time periods, TIE correction should not be enabled. This will
prevent unwanted accumulated phase change between the input and output.
For instance, 10 Normal to Holdover to Normal mode change sequences occur, and in each case Holdover was
entered for 2s. Each mode change sequence could account for a phase change as large as 350 ns. Thus, the
accumulated phase change could be as large as 3.5 us, and, the overall MTIE could be as large as 3.5 us.

•
0.2 ppm is the accuracy of Holdover Mode
•
50 ns is the maximum phase continuity of the MT9046 from Normal Mode to Holdover Mode
•
200 ns is the maximum phase continuity of the MT9046 from Holdover Mode to Normal Mode (with or
without TIE Corrector Circuit)
When 10 Normal to Holdover to Normal mode change sequences occur without MTIE enabled, and in each case
holdover was entered for 2s, each mode change sequence could still account for a phase change as large as
650 ns. However, there would be no accumulated phase change, since the input to output phase is re-aligned after
every Holdover to Normal state change. The overall MTIE would only be 650 ns.
Reset Circuit
A simple power up reset circuit with about a 50 us reset low time is shown in Figure 10. Resistor RP is for protection
only and limits current into the RST pin during power down conditions. The reset low time is not critical but should
be greater than 300 ns.

Lock Indicator
The LOCK pin toggles at a random rate when the PLL is frequency locked to the input reference. In Figure 11 the
RC-time-constant circuit can be used to hold the high state of the LOCK pin.
Once the PLL is frequency locked to the input reference, the minimum duration of LOCK pin’s high state would be
32 ms and the maximum duration of LOCK pin’s low state would not exceed 1 second. The following equations can
be used to calculate the charge and discharge times of the capacitor.

every 1.024 seconds or less, the Advanced Lock output will remain high. If no positive pulse is detected on the
LOCK output within 1.024 seconds, the Advanced LOCK output will go low.
