ICS673-01 PLL Building Block Description Features The ICS673-01 is a low cost, high performance Phase Locked Loop (PLL) designed for clock synthesis and synchronization. Included on the chip are the phase detector, charge pump, Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), and two output buffers. One output buffer is a divide by two of the other.

A decoupling capacitor of 0.01µF should be connected between VDD and GND as close to the ICS673 as possible. A series termination resistor of 33 Ω may be used for each clock output. Two ceramic capacitors and a resistor are needed for the external loop filter; calculations to determine the proper values are shown on the following pages. The capacitors must have very low leakage, therefore high quality ceramic capacitors are recommended. DO NOT use any type of polarized or electrolytic capacitor. Ceramic capacitors should have C0G or NP0 dielectric. Avoid high-K dielectrics like Z5U and X7R; these and other ceramics which have piezoelectric properties allow mechanical vibration in the system to increase the output jitter because the mechanical energy is converted directly to voltage noise on the VCO input. The ICS673 is a PLL building block circuit that includes an integrated VCO with a wide operating range. While it can easily lock MHz frequencies to other MHz frequencies, it is especially designed for starting with a kHz frequency and generating a frequency-locked MHz clock. Refer to Figure 1 below and to the Block Diagram on page 1. The phase/frequency detector compares the falling edges of the clocks connected to FBIN and REFIN. It then generates an error signal to the charge pump, which produces a charge proportional to this error. The external loop filter integrates this charge, producing a voltage that then controls the frequency of the VCO. This process continues until the edges of FBIN are aligned with the edges of the REFIN clock, at which point the output frequency will be locked to the input frequency. +3.3 or 5 V C2 0.1µF RZ C1 SEL 200kHz OE PD VDD CHGP VCOIN CAP REFIN CLK1 40 MHz CLK2 20 MHz ICS673-01 FBIN GND 200kHz ÷100 Digital Divider or ICS674-01 Figure 1.

Calculating these values is best illustrated by an example. Using the example in Figure 1, we can synthesize 40 MHz from a 200 kHz input. The phase locked loop may be approximately described by the following equations: Natural frequency, ωn = Damping factor, ζ = Rz 2 Kv • Ic N • C1 Equation 1 Kv • Ic • C1 Equation 2 N where Kv = VCO gain (MHz/Volt) Ic = Charge pump current (µA) N = Total feedback divide C1 = Loop filter capacitor (Farads) Rz = Loop filter resistor (Ohms) The natural frequency, ωn, is approximately equal to the bandwidth (in radians/sec). As a general rule, the bandwidth should be at least 10 times less than the reference frequency, i.e., ωn ≈ 2π•BW ≤ REFIN/10. In this example, BW = REFIN/20, giving a bandwidth of 10 kHz. Using the first equation, C1 can be determined since all other variables are known. In the example of Figure 1, N = 200, comprising a divide-by-2 on the chip and the external divide-by-100. Therefore, Equation 1 becomes 2π•10,000 = Choosing a damping factor of 0.7, Equation 2 becomes 0.7 = Rz 95 • 2.4 • 270 • 10 E − 12 2 200 and Rz = 79.8 kΩ (82 kΩ nearest std. value). The capacitor C2 is used to damp transients from the charge pump and should be at least 20 times smaller than C1, i.e., C2 ≤ C1/20. Therefore, C2 = 13.5 pF (13 pF nearest std. value). To summarize, to generate 40 MHz from 200 kHz with standard values, the loop filter components are: C1 = 270 pF C2 = 13 pF Rz = 82 kΩ In general, making C1 larger may give improved loop performance, since it both lowers the bandwidth and increases the damping factor. However, it also increases the time for the loop to lock since the charge pump current has to charge a larger capacitance. When choosing either CLK1 or CLK2 to drive the feedback divider, CLK2 should be used whenever possible. See the following section, “Avoiding PLL Lockup”, for additional explanations. 95 • 2.4 200 • C1 and C1 = 289 pF (270 pF nearest std. value). 5 Revision 022500 Printed 11/15/00 Integrated Circuit Systems, Inc. • 525 Race Street • San Jose • CA • 95126•(408)295-9800tel • www.icst.com MDS 673-01 D ICS673-01 PLL Building Block VCO Frequency (MHz) 250 200 Nominal Minimum Characterization Value 150 Specification Limit 100 50 VCOIN 5.5 5 4.5 4 3.5 3 2.5 2 1.5 1 0.5 0 0 (V) Figure 2.

This is usually caused by power supply glitches or a very slow power supply ramp. This situation also occurs if the external divider starts to fail at high input frequencies. The usual failure mode of a divider circuit is that the output of the divider begins to miss clock edges. The phase detector interprets this as a too low output frequency and increases the VCO frequency. The feedback divider begins to miss even more clock edges, and the VCO frequency is continually increased until it is running at the maximum. Whether caused by power supply issues or by the external divider, the loop can only recover by powering down the circuit, asserting PD, or shorting the loop filter to ground. The simplest way to avoid this problem is to use an external divider that always operates correctly regardless of the VCO speed. Figures 2 and 3 show that the VCO is capable of high speeds. By using the internal divide-by-four and/or the CLK2 output, the maximum VCO frequency can be divided by 2, 4, or 8 and a slower counter can be used. Using the ICS673 internal dividers in this manner does reduce the number of frequencies that can be exactly synthesized by forcing the total VCO divide to change in increments of 2, 4, or 8. If this lockup problem occurs, there are several solutions, three of which are described below. 1.If the system has a reset or power good signal, this should be applied to the PD pin, forcing the ICS673 to stay powered down until the power supply voltage has stabilized. 2.If no power good signal is available, a simple power-on reset circuit can be attached to the PD pin, as shown in Figure 4 below. When the power supply ramps up, this circuit holds PD asserted (device powered down) until the capacitor charges up. VDD R1 ICS673-01 PD C3 A. Basic Circuit VDD ICS673-01 R1 D1 PD C3 B. Faster Discharge Figure 4. Power-on Reset Circuits. The circuit of Figure 4A is adequate in most cases, but the discharge rate of capacitor C3 when VDD goes low is limited by R1. As this discharge rate determines the minimum reset time, the circuit of Figure 4B may be used when a faster reset time is desired. The values of R1 and C3 should be selected to ensure that PD stays below 1.0 V until the power supply is stable. 3.A comparator circuit may be used to monitor the loop filter voltage, as shown in Figure 5. This circuit will dump the charge off the loop filter by asserting PD if the VCO begins to run too fast, and the PLL can recover. A good choice for this comparator is the National Semiconductor LMC7211BIM5X.
