The internal crystal oscillator uses the external quartz crystal as the basis of
its frequency reference. The frequency of the internal crystal oscillator or external
reference clock signal is multiplied by the PLL. The VCO within the PLL operates over a range of 800 to 1800 MHz. Its output is
scaled by a divider that is configured by either the serial or parallel interfaces. The crystal oscillator frequency fXTAL, the PLL
feedback-divider M and the PLL post-divider N determine the output frequency.
The feedback path of the PLL is internal. The PLL adjusts the VCO output frequency to be M times the reference frequency
by adjusting the VCO control voltage. Note that for some values of M (either too high or too low) the PLL will not achieve phase
lock. The PLL will be stable if the VCO frequency is within the specified VCO frequency range (800 to 1800 MHz). The M-value
must be programmed by the serial or parallel interface.
The PLL post-divider N is configured through either the serial or the parallel interfaces, and can provide one of four division
ratios (1, 2, 4, or 8). This divider extends performance of the part while providing a 50% duty cycle. The output driver is driven
differentially from the output divider, and is capable of driving a pair of transmission lines terminated 50 Ω to VCC – 2.0 V. The
positive supply voltage for the internal PLL is separated from the power supply for the core logic and output drivers to minimize
noise induced jitter.
The configuration logic has two sections: serial and parallel. The parallel interface uses the values at the M[6:0] and N[1:0]
inputs to configure the internal counters. It is recommended on system reset to hold the P_LOAD input LOW until power becomes
valid. On the LOW-to-HIGH transition of P_LOAD, the parallel inputs are captured. The parallel interface has priority over the
serial interface. Internal pullup resistors are provided on the M[6:0] and N[1:0] inputs prevent the LVCMOS compatible control
inputs from floating. The serial interface centers on a twelve bit shift register. The shift register shifts once per rising edge of the
S_CLOCK input. The serial input S_DATA must meet setup and hold timing as specified in the AC Characteristics section of this
document. The configuration latches will capture the value of the shift register on the HIGH-to-LOW edge of the S_LOAD input.
Refer to the programming section for more information. The TEST output reflects various internal node values, and is controlled
by the T[2:0] bits in the serial data stream. In order to minimize the PLL jitter, it is recommended to avoid active signal on the
TEST output. The PWR_DOWN pin, when asserted, will synchronously divide the fOUT by 16. The power down sequence is
clocked by the PLL reference clock, thereby causing the frequency reduction to happen relatively slowly. Upon de-assertion of
the PWR_DOWN pin, the fOUT input will step back up to its programmed frequency in four discrete increments.

Programming the MPC9239
Programming the MPC9239 amounts to properly
configuring the internal PLL dividers to produce the desired
synthesized frequency at the output. The output frequency
can be represented by this formula:
(1)
fOUT = (fXTAL ÷ 2) ⋅ (M ⋅ 4) ÷ (N ⋅ 2) or
(2)
fOUT = fXTAL ⋅ M ÷ N
where fXTAL is the crystal frequency, M is the PLL
feedback-divider and N is the PLL post-divider. The input
frequency and the selection of the feedback divider M is
limited by the VCO-frequency range. fXTAL and M must be
configured to match the VCO frequency range of 800 to 1800
MHz in order to achieve stable PLL operation:
(3)
MMIN = fVCO,MIN ÷ (2 ⋅ fXTAL) and
(4)
MMAX = fVCO,MAX ÷ (2 ⋅ fXTAL)
For instance, the use of a 16 MHz input frequency requires
the configuration of the PLL feedback divider between M = 25
and M = 56. Table 8 shows the usable VCO frequency and M
divider range for other example input frequencies.
Assuming that a 16 MHz input frequency is used, equation
(2) reduces to:
fOUT = 16 M ÷ N
Substituting N for the four available values for N (1, 2, 4, 8)
yields:

Example Calculation for an 16 MHz Input Frequency
For example, if an output frequency of 384 MHz was
desired, the following steps would be taken to identify the
appropriate M and N values. 384 MHz falls within the
frequency range set by an N value of 2, so N[1:0]=00. For N
= 2, fOUT = 8⋅M, and M = fOUT ÷ 8. Therefore, M = 384 ÷ 8 =
48, so M[6:0] = 0110000. Following this procedure a user can
generate any whole frequency between 50 MHz and
900 MHz. The size of the programmable frequency steps will
be equal to:
fSTEP = fXTAL ÷ N
Using the Parallel and Serial Interface
The M and N counters can be loaded either through a
parallel or serial interface. The parallel interface is controlled
via the P_LOAD signal such that a LOW to HIGH transition
will latch the information present on the M[6:0] and N[1:0]
inputs into the M and N counters. When the P_LOAD signal
is LOW the input latches will be transparent and any changes
on the M[6:0] and N[1:0] inputs will affect the fOUT output pair.
To use the serial port the S_CLOCK signal samples the
information on the S_DATA line and loads it into a 12 bit shift
register. Note that the P_LOAD signal must be HIGH for the
serial load operation to function. The Test register is loaded
with the first three bits, the N register with the next two, and
the M register with the final eight bits of the data stream on
the S_DATA input. For each register the most significant bit is
loaded first (T2, N1, and M6). A pulse on the S_LOAD pin
after the shift register is fully loaded will transfer the divide
values into the counters. The HIGH to LOW transition on the
S_LOAD input will latch the new divide values into the
counters. Figure 4 illustrates the timing diagram for both a
parallel and a serial load of the MPC9239 synthesizer.
M[6:0] and N[1:0] are normally specified once at power-up
through the parallel interface, and then possibly again
through the serial interface. This approach allows the
application to come up at one frequency and then change or
fine-tune the clock as the ability to control the serial interface
becomes available.
Using the Test and Diagnosis Output TEST
The TEST output provides visibility for one of the several
internal nodes as determined by the T[2:0] bits in the serial
configuration stream. It is not configurable through the
parallel interface. Although it is possible to select the node
that represents fOUT, the LVCMOS output is not able to toggle
fast enough for higher output frequencies and should only be
used for test and diagnosis.
The T2, T1, and T0 control bits are preset to ‘000' when
P_LOAD is LOW so that the PECL fOUT outputs are as jitterfree as possible. Any active signal on the TEST output pin will
have detrimental affects on the jitter of the PECL output pair.
In normal operations, jitter specifications are only guaranteed
if the TEST output is static. The serial configuration port can
be used to select one of the alternate functions for this pin.
Most of the signals available on the TEST output pin are
useful only for performance verification of the MPC9239
itself. However, the PLL bypass mode may be of interest at
the board level for functional debug. When T[2:0] is set to 110
the MPC9239 is placed in PLL bypass mode. In this mode the
S_CLOCK input is fed directly into the M and N dividers. The
N divider drives the fOUT differential pair and the M counter
drives the TEST output pin. In this mode the S_CLOCK input
could be used for low speed board level functional test or
debug. Bypassing the PLL and driving fOUT directly gives the
user more control on the test clocks sent through the clock
tree shows the functional setup of the PLL bypass mode.
Because the S_CLOCK is a CMOS level the input frequency
is limited to 200 MHz. This means the fastest the fOUT pin can
be toggled via the S_CLOCK is 100 MHz as the divide ratio
of the Post-PLL divider is 2 (if N = 1). Note that the M counter
output on the TEST output will not be a 50% duty cycle.

Power Supply Filtering
The MPC9239 is a mixed analog/digital product. Its analog
circuitry is naturally susceptible to random noise, especially if
this noise is seen on the power supply pins. Random noise
on the VCC_PLL pin impacts the device characteristics. The
MPC9239 provides separate power supplies for the digital
circuitry (VCC) and the internal PLL (VCC_PLL) 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
VCC_PLL pin for the MPC9239. Figure 5 illustrates a typical
power supply filter scheme. The MPC9239 is most
susceptible to noise with spectral content in the 1 kHz to
1 MHz 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 MPC9239 pin of the
MPC9239. From the data sheet, the VCC_PLLcurrent (the
current sourced through the VCC_PLL pin) is maximum
20 mA, assuming that a minimum of 2.835 V must be
maintained on the VCC_PLL pin. The resistor shown in
Figure 5 must have a resistance of 10-15 Ω 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 20 kHz. As the noise
frequency crosses the series resonant point of an individual
capacitor its 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. Generally, the resistor/capacitor filter
will be cheaper, easier to implement and provide an adequate
level of supply filtering. A higher level of attenuation can be
achieved by replacing the resistor with an appropriate valued
inductor. A 1000 µH choke will show a significant impedance
at 10 kHz frequencies and above. Because of the current
draw and the voltage that must be maintained on the VCC_PLL
pin, a low DC resistance inductor is required (less than 15 Ω).

Layout Recommendations
The MPC9239 provides sub-nanosecond output edge
rates and thus a good power supply bypassing scheme is a
must. Figure 6 shows a representative board layout for the
MPC9239. There exists many different potential board
layouts and the one pictured is but one. The important aspect
of the layout in Figure 6 is the 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 MPC9239 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 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. Note the dotted lines circling
the crystal oscillator connection to the device. 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. Although the MPC9239
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.

Using the On-Board Crystal Oscillator
The MPC9239 features a fully integrated on-board crystal
oscillator to minimize system implementation costs. The
oscillator is a series resonant, multivibrator type design as
opposed to the more common parallel resonant oscillator
design. The series resonant design provides better stability
and eliminates the need for large on chip capacitors. The
oscillator is totally 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 MPC9239 as
possible to avoid any board level parasitics. To facilitate colocation surface mount crystals are recommended, but not
required. Because the series resonant design is affected by
capacitive loading on the XTAL terminals loading variation
introduced by crystals from different vendors could be a
potential issue. For crystals with a higher shunt capacitance
it may be required to place a resistance across the terminals
to suppress the third harmonic. Although typically not
required it is a good idea to layout the PCB with the provision
of adding this external resistor. The resistor value will typically
be between 500 and 1KΩ.
The oscillator circuit is a series resonant circuit and thus
for optimum performance a series resonant crystal should be
used. Unfortunately most crystals are characterized in a
parallel resonant mode. Fortunately there is no physical
difference between a series resonant and a parallel resonant
crystal. The difference is purely in the way the devices are
characterized. As a result a parallel resonant crystal can be
used with the MPC9239 with only a minor error in the desired
frequency. A parallel resonant mode crystal used in a series
resonant circuit will exhibit a frequency of oscillation a few
hundred ppm lower than specified, a few hundred ppm
translates to kHz inaccuracies. In a general computer
application this level of inaccuracy is immaterial. Table 12
below specifies the performance requirements of the crystals
to be used with the MPC9239.
