Line Card Protection Switch for PDH,
SONET or SDH Systems
ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS
COMMUNICATION
Description
FINAL
Features
The ACS8526 is a highly integrated single-chip solution
for protection switching between two SECs (SDH/SONET
Equipment Clocks) from Master and Slave SETS clock
cards, for line cards in a PDH, SONET or SDH Network
Element. The ACS8526 has fast activity monitors on the
inputs and will raise a flag on a pin if there is a loss of
activity on the currently selected input. The protection
switching between the input reference clock sources is
controlled by an external pin.
The ACS8526 has two SEC reference clock input ports,
configured for expected frequency by setting hardware
pins or by writing to registers via the serial interface.
The ACS8526 can perform frequency translation,
converting, for example, an 8 kHz SEC input clock from a
backplane into a 155.52 MHz clock for local line cards.
The ACS8526 generates two independent SEC clock
outputs, one on a PECL/LVDS port and one on a
TTL/CMOS port, at spot frequencies configured by
hardware pins, or by writing to registers via the serial
interface. The hardware selectable spot frequencies
range from 1.544 MHz up to 155.52 MHz, with further
options for N x E1/DS1 and 311.04 MHz via register
selection. The ACS8526 also provides an 8 kHz Frame
Sync output and 2 kHz Multi-Frame Sync output, both with
programmable pulse width and polarity.
Advanced configuration possibilities are available via the
serial port (which can be SPI compatible), however the
basic configuration of I/O frequencies and SONET/SDH
selection by hardware make the device suitable for
standalone operation, i.e., no need for a microprocessor.

ACS8526 LC/P LITE
ADVANCED COMMUNICATION
Introduction
FINAL
The ACS8526 is a highly integrated, single-chip solution
for protection switching of two SEC inputs from, for
example, Master and Slave SETS clock cards sources, for
Line Cards in a SONET or SDH Network Element. The
ACS8526 has fast activity monitors on the SEC clock
inputs.
The ACS8526 can be used as a standalone part without
the serial interface where all input and output frequencies
are set by external control using the IP_FREQ and
OP_FREQ pins. These pins determine the default
power-up or reset state of internal registers, that in turn
determine the I/O frequencies.
If more detailed control is required, then the registers
within the device can be re-configured, after an
initialization period, by writes through the serial interface.
The SRCSW pin is used to select one of the two SEC inputs
to lock to. The SRCSW pin must remain High for at least
251 ms following power-up or reset (251 ms after the
PORB signal has gone High). SRCSW Low following a
power-up or reset is not supported.
The ACS8526 has two SEC inputs from which it can
generate independent clocks on outputs 01 and 02 with
a total of 53 possible output frequencies. In addition,
there are two Sync outputs; 8 kHz Frame Synchronization
(FrSync) signal and a 2 kHz Multi-Frame Synchronization
(MFrSync) signal.
APLL bandwidth is set four orders of magnitude higher
than the DPLL bandwidth. This ensures that the overall
system performance still maintains the advantage of
consistent behaviour provided by the digital approach.
The DPLLs are clocked by the external oscillator module
(TCXO or XO) so that prior to initial lock (with no input
reference) or in Digital Holdover, the frequency stability is
only determined by the stability of the external oscillator
module. This gives the key advantage of confining all
temperature critical components to one well defined and
pre-calibrated oscillator module, whose performance can
be chosen to match the application. All performance
parameters of the DPLLs are programmable without the
need to understand detailed PLL equations. Bandwidth,
damping factor and lock range can all be configured
under software control.
The hardware set-up configures a subset of the registers
in the register block, with the remainder adopting their
default settings. If hardware set-up alone is insufficient
for configuring, controlling and monitoring the device for a
particular application, then access to the full set of
registers for these purposes is provided by an SPI
compatible serial interface port.
Each register (8-bit wide data field) is identified by and
referred to by its hexadecimal address and name, e.g.
Reg. 7D cnfg_LOS_alarm. The ‘‘Register Map’’ on
page 30 summarizes the content of all of the registers,
and each register is individually described in the
subsequent Register Tables, organised in order of
ascending Address (hexadecimal), in the “Register
Descriptions” from page 32 onwards.
Initially the ACS8526 generates a stable, low-noise clock
signal at a frequency to the same accuracy as the external
oscillator, or it can be made more accurate via software
calibration to within ± 0.02 ppm. The device always
attempts to lock to one of its inputs (according to the
value on the SRCSW pin). Once locked to a reference the
accuracy of the output clock is determined directly by the
accuracy of the input reference. In the absence of any
input references the device simply maintains its most
recent frequency in a Digital Holdover mode. However, as
soon as the DPLL detects an input presence, it will
attempt to lock to it and will not “qualify” it first. As soon
as the DPLL detects a failure on the input, the DPLL
freezes its operating frequency and raises the LOS alarm
on device pin LOS_ALARM.
Inputs
The overall PLL loop bandwidth, damping, pull-in range
and frequency accuracy are all determined by digital
parameters that provide a consistent level of
performance. An Analog PLL (APLL) takes the signal from
the DPLL output and provides a lower jitter output. The
The ACS8526 SETS device has two TTL/CMOS compatible
SEC input ports. They are 3 V and 5 V compatible (with
clamping if required by connecting the VDD5V pin). Refer
to the ‘‘Electrical Specifications’’ on page 61 for more
information on electrical compatibility.

Input frequencies supported range from 2 kHz to
155.52 MHz. Common E1, DS1, OC-3 and sub-divisions
are supported as spot frequencies that the DPLLs will
directly lock to. Any input frequency, up to 100 MHz, that
is a multiple of 8 kHz can also be locked to via an inbuilt
programmable divider.
In addition to the SEC inputs, there are four configuration
pins IP_FREQ [2:0] and SONSDHB used to configure the
input to expect a particular input frequency (same value
applies to both inputs), and a control pin SRCSW for
switching between SEC1 and SEC2 as the selected input
reference to which the device tries to lock.
inputs will be configured to expect the same input frequency.
After a reset and initialization period, any change of state on
IP_FREQ [2:0] or SONSDHB will have no effect on the device
configuration, as these are only read during the reset period.
The register programming approach provides a greater
range of frequencies than the hardware selection
method: more spot frequencies, plus frequencies derived
using DivN Mode up to 100 MHz (TTL technology limit).
Table 4 Hardware Configuration for Selecting Expected
Input Frequency on SEC1 and SEC2
IP_FREQ Pins
Preconfiguring Inputs - Expected Input Frequency
The inputs SEC1 and SEC2 must be preconfigured to
expect a particular input frequency.
The expected input frequencies can be selected from a
range of spot frequencies by either:
z
Hardware selection: configuring the hardware pins
IP_FREQ [2:0] and SONSDHB, which are read on reset
z
Register programming: writing to the
cnfg_ref_source_frequency and cnfg_input_mode
registers.
Hardware Selection of Expected I/P Frequency
The combined pin states of IP_FREQ [2:0] and SONSDHB
represent a 4-bit word which addresses a particular
frequency value as given in Table 4.
The frequency selected by the hardware configuration is
always applied to both inputs on Power-up or Reset, so
both will be preconfigured to expect the same frequency.
If SEC1 and SEC2 are required to expect different
frequencies, then these inputs must be subsequently
reconfigured by programming the appropriate registers.

Preconfiguring Inputs- SONET/SDH
The register ip_sonsdhb is used to select SDH or SONET
mode for the entire device and its setting affects
parameters other than just the expected input frequency
selection, e.g. output frequency. To set the device for use
in a SONET network, set ip_sonsdhb = 1. For SDH, set
ip_sonsdhb = 0.
Input Locking Frequency Modes
Register Programming of Expected I/P Frequency
The expected input frequencies can be programmed by
writing to the cnfg_ref_source_frequency registers
(Reg. 22 and 23) and ip_sonsdhb (Bit 2 of
cnfg_input_mode,Reg. 34), via the serial interface. This
must not be done until after the end of the initialization
period (see ‘‘Initialization’’ on page 8).
Each input port has to be configured to receive the
expected input frequency. To achieve this, three input
locking frequency modes are provided: Direct Lock,
Lock8K and DivN.
Note...Any subsequent reset will cause these registers to be
overwritten by values that equate to the single hardware
selected frequency on the pins at the time of reset, i.e both
In Direct Lock mode, DPLL1 can lock to the selected input
at the spot frequency of the input, for example 19.44 MHz
performs the DPLL phase comparisons at 19.44 MHz.

(b) To lock to 10.000 MHz:
In Lock8K and DivN modes an internal divider is used
prior to DPLL1 to divide the input frequency before it is
used for phase comparisons.
(i)
Lock8K Mode
Lock8K mode automatically sets the divider parameters
to divide the input frequency down to 8 kHz. Lock8K can
only be used on the supported spot frequencies. See
divn_SEC1 and 2 descriptions (Bit 7 of Reg. 22 and 23,
cnfg_ref_source_frequency). Lock8k mode is enabled by
setting the Lock8k bit (Bit 6) in the appropriate
cnfg_ref_source_frequency register. Using lower
frequencies for phase comparisons in the DPLL results in
a greater tolerance to input jitter. It is possible to choose
which edge of the input reference clock to lock to, by
setting 8K Edge Polarity, (Bit 2 of Reg. 03, test_register1).
DivN Mode
In DivN mode, the divider parameters are set manually by
configuration (Bit 7 of the cnfg_ref_source_frequency
register), but must be set so that the frequency after
division is exactly 8 kHz.
The DivN function is defined as:
DivN = “Divide by N+ 1”, i.e. it is the dividing factor used
for the division of the input frequency, and has a value of
(N+1) where N is an integer from 1 to 12499 inclusive.
Therefore, in DivN mode the input frequency can be
divided by any integer value between 2 to 12499.
Consequently, any input frequency which is a multiple of
8 kHz, between 8 kHz to 125 MHz, can be supported by
using DivN mode.
Note...Both reference inputs can be set to use DivN
independently of the frequency and configuration of the other
input. However only one value of N is allowed, so if both inputs
have DivN selected, they must be running at the same
frequency.
DivN Examples
(a) To lock to 2.000 MHz:
(i)
Set the cnfg_ref_source_frequency register to
10XX0000 (binary) to enable DivN, and set the
frequency to 8 kHz - the frequency required after
division. (XX = “Leaky Bucket” ID for this input).
(ii) To achieve 8 kHz, the 2 MHz input must be
divided by 250. So, if DivN = 250 = (N + 1)
then N must be set to 249. This is done by writing
F9 hex (249 decimal) to the DivN register pair
Reg. 46/47.
Revision 3.00/January 2003 © Semtech Corp.
The cnfg_ref_source_frequency register is set to
10XX0000 (binary) to set the DivN and the
frequency to 8 kHz, the post-division frequency.
(XX = “Leaky Bucket” ID for this input).
(ii) To achieve 8 kHz, the 10 MHz input must be
divided by 1,250. So, if DivN, = 250 = (N+1)
then N must be set to 1,249. This is done by
writing 4E1 hex (1,249 decimal) to the DivN
register pair Reg. 46/47.
Selection of Input SECs
Initialization
Switching between inputs SEC1 and SEC2 is triggered
directly from a dedicated pin (SRCSW), though for the
device to operate properly, the device must first be
initialized by holding the pin High during reset and for at
least a further 251 ms after PORB has gone High (250 ms
allowance for the internal reset to be removed plus 1 ms
allowance for APLLs to start-up and become stable). A
simple external circuit to set SCRSW high for the required
period is shown in the ‘‘Simplified Application Schematic’’
on page 70. If SCRSW is held Low at any time during the
251 ms initialization period, this will result in incorrect
device operation.
SEC Selection - SRCSW pin
After the ACS8526 has been initialized (see previous
“Initialization” section), then the value of SRCSW pin
directly selects either SEC1 (SRCSW High) or SEC2
(SRCSW Low). The default frequency tolerance of SEC1
and SEC2 is ± 80 ppm (Reg. 41 and Reg. 42) with respect
to the local (calibrated) oscillator clock. These registers
can be subsequently set by external software, if required.
After initialization, the output clocks are stable and the
device will operate as a simple switch, with the DPLL
trying to lock on to the selected reference source.
Output Clock Phase Continuity on Source
Switchover
A phase offset between SEC inputs will be seen as a
phase shift on the output on source switchover equal to
the input phase offset. (Note...The ACS8526 has no
Phase Build-out function to accommodate this. If this
function is required, it is available on the AS8525 LC/P
device).

FINAL
The rate of change of phase on the output, during the time
between input switchover and the output settling to a
steady state, is dependent on factors of: input frequency,
input phase change, DPLL bandwidth, DPLL frequency
limit, and phase detector capture range. The ACS8526
always complies with GR-1244-CORE[13] spec for Stratum
3 (max rate of phase change of 81 ns/1.326 ms), for
input frequencies at 6.48 MHz or higher, with the default
1UI phase detector capture range.
For inputs at a lower frequency than 6.48 MHz (e.g. 8 kHz)
with the DPLL frequency limit set to greater than ± 30
ppm (note default is ± 80 ppm), then to ensure
compliance with GR-1244-CORE[13] at DPLL bandwidth
settings of 18, 35 or 70 Hz, the input phase difference
between the Master and Slave inputs to the line card PLL
should be limited to less than 600, 330 ns or 190 ns
respectively. Alternatively, the DPLL frequency range
should be set < ± 30 ppm. A well designed system would
have Master and Slave clock from the clock sync cards
aligned to within a few nanoseconds. In which case a
complete system using the Semtech SETS clock card
parts (ACS8530, ACS8520 or ACS8510) and this line card
part would be fully compliant to GR-1244-CORE[13]
specifications under all conditions due to the lower
frequency range and bandwidth set at the clock card end.
Activity Monitors
Two types of Activity monitors are incorporated in the
ACS8526:
z
SEC Activity Monitors, which raise flags in Reg. 11,
sts_reference_sources for each SEC in event of no
input activity, as defined by the configuration of Leaky
Bucket accumulator.
z
Fast Activity Monitor (part of DPLL), which raises LOS
alarm on pin LOS_ALARM in event of 2 missing cycles
of input activity on the selected source.
SEC Activity Monitors
There is a SEC activity monitor assigned to each SEC
input. Each has a programmable Leaky Bucket
Accumulator which is used to determine at what point the
period of inactivity is deemed sufficient to raise or clear an
alarm. Each SEC has its own no activity alarm bit in
Reg. 11, sts_reference_sources,. The monitors operate
continuously such that at all times the activity status of
each SEC input is known.
Leaky Bucket Accumulator
Anomalies detected by the Activity Monitor are integrated
in a Leaky Bucket Accumulator. There is one Leaky Bucket
Revision 3.00/January 2003 © Semtech Corp.
Accumulator per SEC input. The accumulators share a set
of configuration parameters which can be programmed
via Reg. 50 to Reg. 53. They are:
z
Bucket size
z
Alarm trigger (set threshold)
z
Alarm clear (reset threshold)
z
Leak rate (decay rate)
There are occasional anomalies that do not cause the
Accumulator to cross the alarm setting threshold, but if
the Bucket fills faster than it leaks it will eventually cross
the alarm setting threshold and the associated SEC Input
Activity Alarm bit in Reg. 11, sts_reference_sources, will
change to 1 (Alarm active).
Each Leaky Bucket Accumulator is a digital circuit which
mimics the operation of an analog integrator. If several
events occur close together, each event adds to the
amplitude and the alarm will be triggered quickly; if events
occur over a greater time period but still sufficiently close
together to overcome the decay, the alarm will be
triggered eventually. If events occur at a rate which is not
sufficient to overcome the decay, the alarm will not be
triggered. Similarly, if no defect events occur for a
sufficient time, the amplitude will decay gradually and the
alarm will be cleared when the amplitude falls below the
alarm clearing threshold. The ability to decay the
amplitude over time allows the importance of defect
events to be reduced as time passes by. This means that,
in the case of isolated events, the alarm will not be set,
whereas, once the alarm becomes set, it will be held on
until normal operation has persisted for a suitable time
(but if the operation is still erratic, the alarm will remain
set). Figure 3 illustrates the behavior of the Leaky Bucket
Accumulator.
Each SEC input is monitored over a 128 ms period. If,
within a 128 ms period, an irregularity occurs that is not
deemed to be due to allowable jitter/wander, then the
Accumulator is incremented.
The Accumulator continues to increment up to the point
that it reaches the programmed Bucket size. The “fill rate”
of the Leaky Bucket is, therefore, 8 units/second. The
“leak rate” of the Leaky Bucket is programmable to be in
multiples of the fill rate (x 1, x 0.5, x 0.25 and x 0.125) to
give a programmable leak rate from 8 units/sec down to
1 unit/sec. A conflict between trying to “leak” at the same
time as a “fill” is avoided by preventing a leak when a fill
event occurs.

Leaky Bucket Timing
The time taken (in seconds) to raise an inactivity alarm on
an SEC that has previously been fully active (Leaky Bucket
empty) will be:
(cnfg_upper_threshold) / 8
If an input is intermittently inactive then this time can be
longer. The default setting of cnfg_upper_threshold is 6,
therefore the default time is 0.75 s.
The time taken (in seconds) to cancel the activity alarm on
a previously completely inactive SEC is calculated, for a
particular Leaky Bucket, as:
[2
(a)
x (b - c)]/ 8
where:
a = cnfg_decay_rate
b = cnfg_bucket_size
c = cnfg_lower_threshold
The default setting is shown in the following:
1
[2 x (8 - 4)] /8 = 1.0 secs
With the DPLL in Digital Holdover mode it is isolated from
further disturbances. If the input becomes active again
then the DPLL will continue to lock to the input, with little
disturbance.

PLL Overview
Fast Activity Monitor
Anomalies on the selected clock have to be detected as
they occur and the PLL must be temporarily isolated until
the clock is once again pure. The SEC activity monitor
cannot be used for this because the high degree of
accuracy required dictates that the process be slow. To
achieve the immediacy required, the PLL uses an
alternative mechanism. The phase locked loop itself
Revision 3.00/January 2003 © Semtech Corp.
contains an additional fast activity monitor such that
within approximately two missing input clock cycles, a
no-activity flag is raised and the DPLL is frozen in Digital
Holdover mode. This flag generates LOS (Loss of Signal)
alarm on pin LOS_ALARM.
The PLL circuitry comprises the following blocks shown in
Figure 1: Two Digital PLLs (DPLL1 and DPLL2), two output
multiplying and filtering Analog PLLs (APLL1 and APLL2),
output frequency dividers in an Output Port Frequency
Selection block, a synthesis block, multiplexers MUX1 and
MUX2, and a feedback Analog PLL (APLL3).
These functional blocks, and their interconnections, are
highly configurable, via register control, which provides a

FINAL
range of output frequencies and levels of jitter
performance. However if the device is configured by
hardware alone, then the PLLs are configured as shown in
Table 7 and 8.
Digital Synthesis is used to generate all required
SONET/SDH output frequencies. The digital logic
operates at 204.8 MHz that is multiplied up from the
external 12.800 MHz oscillator module. Hence the best
resolution of the output signals from the DPLLs is one
204.8 MHz cycle or 4.9 ns.
Additional resolution and lower final output jitter is
provided by a de-jittering APLL that reduces the
4.9 ns pk-pk jitter from the digital down to 500 ps pk-pk
and 60 ps RMS as typical final outputs measured
broadband (from 10 Hz to 1 GHz). This arrangement
combines the advantages of the flexibility and
repeatability of a DPLL with the low jitter of an APLL.
The DPLLs in the ACS8526 are programmable for
parameters of bandwidth (18, 35 and 70 Hz) and
damping factor (from 1.2 to 20). See Sections ‘‘DPLL1
Jitter Transfer Characteristic, (Freq. = 1.544 MHz, Jitter =
0.2 UI pk-pk, Damping Factor = 5)’’ on page 14, and
‘‘Damping Factor Programmability’’ on page 15.
DPLL1 input frequency is programmable with 12 common
SONET/SDH spot frequencies. See
cnfg_nominal_frequency Reg. 3C and Reg. 3D
The DPLL has programmable frequency acceptance and
output range (from 0 to 80 ppm) set by the allowable
offset between the expected input frequency and the
calibrated external frequency, Reg. 41 and Reg. 42).
There is no requirement to understand the loop filter
equations or detailed gain parameters since all high level
factors such as overall bandwidth can be set directly in
registers via the microprocessor interface. No external
critical components are required for either the internal
DPLLs or APLLs, providing another key advantage over
traditional discrete designs.
DPLL1 always produces an output at 77.76 MHz to feed
the APLL, regardless of the frequency selected at the
output pins or the locking frequency (frequency at the
input of the Phase and Frequency Detector- PFD).
Revision 3.00/January 2003 © Semtech Corp.
DPLL2 can be operated at a number of frequencies. This
is to enable the generation of extra output frequencies,
which cannot be easily related to 77.76 MHz. If DPLL2 is
enabled, it locks to the 8 kHz from DPLL1. This is because
all of the frequencies of operation of DPLL2 can be
divided to 8 kHz and this will ensure synchronization of
frequencies, from 8kHz upwards, within the two DPLLs.
Both of the DPLLs’ outputs can be connected to
multiplying and filtering APLLs. The outputs of these
APLLs are divided making a number of frequencies
simultaneously available for selection at the output clock
ports. The various combinations of DPLL, APLL and divider
configurations allow for generation of a comprehensive
set of frequencies, as listed in Table 9, “Output Frequency
Selection,” on page 19.
A function is provided to synchronise the lower output
frequencies when DPLL1 is locked to a high frequency
reference input. The dividers that generate the 2 kHz and
8 kHz outputs are reset such that the output 2/8 kHz
clocks are lined up with the input 2 kHz.
The PLL configurations required for particular output
frequencies are described in ‘‘Output Frequency
Selection by Hardware’’ on page 17, and ‘‘Output
Frequency Selection by Register Programming’’ on
page 17.
An advanced feature of the device is its ability to control
the amount of jitter and wander that is tolerated on the
input. This is achieved by the configuration of the Phase
and Frequency detectors within the DPLLs, which
determines the phase error input to the Digital Loop Filter.
For basic operation, the configuration should not be
changed from the default settings.
PLL Architecture
Figure 4 shows the PLL arrangement in more detail. Each
DPLL comprises a generic Phase and Frequency Detector
(PFD) with a Digital Loop filter, together with Forward,
Feedback, and Low Frequency (LF) (DPLL1 only) Digital
Frequency Synthesis (DFS) blocks. The Forward DFS block
represents a Digital Timed Oscillator (DTO).

The DPLL architecture for DPLL1 is more complex than
that of DPLL2. See “DPLL Feature Summary” on page 16.
The selected SEC input is always supplied to DPLL1.
DPLL1 may use either digital feedback or analog
feedback (via APLL3).
DPLL2 always takes its feed from DPLL1 and cannot be
used to select a different input to that of DPLL1.
DFS is a technique for generating an output frequency
using a higher frequency system clock (204.8 MHz in the
case of the 77.76 MHz synthesis). However, the edges of
the output clock are not ideally placed in time, since all
edges of the output clock will be aligned to the active edge
of the system clock. This means that the generated clock
will inherently have jitter on it equivalent to one period of
the system clock.
DPLL1 and APLLs
DPLL1 always produces 77.76 MHz. The input reference
is either passed directly to the PFD or via a pre-divider (not
shown) to produce the reference input. The feedback
77.76 MHz is either divided or synthesized to generate
the locking frequency.
The DPLL1 77M Forward DFS block uses DFS clocked by
the 204.8 MHz system clock to synthesize the 77.76 MHz
Revision 3.00/January 2003 © Semtech Corp.
and, therefore, has an inherent 4.9 ns of pk-pk jitter.
There is an option to use a feedback APLL (APLL3) to filter
out this jitter before the 77.76 MHz is used to generate
the feedback locking frequency in the DPLL1 feedback
DFS block. This analog feedback option allows a lower
jitter (<1 ns) feedback signal to give maximum
performance.
The 77.76 MHz is fed to DPLL1 LF Output DFS block and
to APLL1. The low frequency DPLL1 LF Output DFS block
is used to produce three frequencies; two of them,
Digital1 and Digital2, are available for selection to be
produced at outputs O1 and O2, and the third frequency
can produce multiple E1/DS1 rates via the filtering APLLs.
The input clock to the DPLL1 LF Output DFS block is
77.76 MHz from APLL1 (post jitter filtering) or 77.76 MHz
direct from the DPLL1 77M Forward DFS. Utilizing the
clock from APLL1 will result in lower jitter outputs from the
DPLL1 LF Output DFS block.
However, when the input to the APLL1 is taken from the
DPLL1 LF Output DFS block, the input to that block comes
directly from the DPLL1 77M Forward DFS block so that a
“loop” is not created.
APLL1 is for multiplying and filtering. The input to APLL1 is
controlled by MUX 1 (see ‘‘Multiplexers’’ on page 13). The
Page 12

ADVANCED COMMUNICATION
FINAL
frequency from APLL1 is four times its input frequency i.e.
311.04 MHz when used with a 77.76 MHz input. APLL1 is
subsequently divided by 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 48 and
these are available at the O1 and O2 Outputs.
DPLL2 & APLLs
DPLL2 is simpler than DPLL1. DPLL2 offers no low
frequency output. The DPLL2 input can only be used to
lock to DPLL1. Unlike DPLL1, the DPLL2 Forward DFS
block does not always generate 77.76 MHz. The possible
frequencies are listed in Table 12, “APLL2 Frequencies,”
on page 24. Similarly to DPLL1, the output of the DPLL2
Forward DFS block is generated using DFS clocked by the
204.8 MHz system clock and will have an inherent jitter of
4.9 ns.
The DPLL2 feedback DFS also has the facility to be able
to use the post APLL2 (jitter-filtered) clock to generate the
feedback locking frequency. Again, this will give the
maximum performance by using a low jitter feedback.
FrSync, MFrSync, 2 kHz and 8 kHz Clock Outputs
Whilst the FrSync and MFrSync Outputs are always
supplied from DPLL1, the 2 kHz and 8 kHz options
available from the O1 and O2 Outputs can be supplied
from either DPLL1 or DPLL2 (Reg. 7A Bit 7).
Multiplexers
Multiplexers MUX1 and MUX2 are used to select the
appropriate inputs to the Analog PLLs. The function they
represent is controlled by cnfg_DPLL1_frequency
Reg. 65.

APLL2 block is also for multiplying and filtering. The input
to APLL2 is controlled by MUX 2 (see ‘‘Multiplexers’’ on
page 13) and can come either from the DPLL2 Forward
DFS block or from DPLL1.
The frequency generated from the APLL2 is four times its
input frequency i.e. 311.04 MHz when used with a
77.76 MHz input. APLL2 is subsequently divided by 2, 4,
8, 12, 16, 48 and 64 and these are available at the O1
and 02 Outputs.
“Digital” Frequencies
DFS is also carried out by DPLL1 LF Output DFS block in
Figure 4 (E1/DS1 Synthesis block in Figure 1). This block
is clocked either by the DPLL1 77M Forward DFS block or
via the APLL1, and generates the single frequencies
Digital1 and Digital2 (see Table 13 and Table 14). The
input clock frequency of the DFS is always 77.76 MHz and
as such has a period of approximately 12 ns. The jitter
generated on the Digital outputs is relatively high,
because they do not pass through an APLL for jitter
filtering. The minimum level of jitter is when DPLL1 is in
analog feedback mode, when the pk-pk jitter will be
approximately 13 ns (equivalent to a period of the DFS
clock). The maximum jitter is generated when in digital
feedback mode, when the total is approximately 18 ns.
The E1/DS1 Synthesis block generates the E1/DS1 rates
for the APLLs, using the output from DPLL1. It generates
12E1, 16E1, 16DS1 or 24DS1, for selection by MUX1.

same frequency value must be selected in Reg. 65

APLLs
There are three main APLLs. APLL1 and APLL2 provide a
lower final output jitter reducing the 4.9 ns pk-pk jitter
from the digital down to 500 ps pk-pk and 60 ps RMS as
typical final outputs measured broadband (from 10 Hz to
1 GHz). The feedback APLL (APLL3) is selected by default;
it provides improved performance over the digital
feedback.

FINAL
APLL Output Dividers
PLL Operational Controls
Each APLL has its own divider. Each divider
simultaneously outputs a series of fixed ratios of its APLL
input. Any of these divided outputs may be selected as the
output on Outputs O1 or O2 by configuring Reg. 61 and
Reg. 62, with the following exceptions: (APLL1)/2 and
(APLL1)/1 only available for Output 01 (differential port),
and (APLL1)/48 only available for Output 02.
The main factors controlling the operation of the PLL are:
PFD and Loop Filters
The PFD compares the input reference with that of the
locking frequency (feedback) giving a phase error which is
then filtered by a 100Hz low pass filter, to give the
average phase error for input into a loop filter. The PFD is
quite complex and has several programmable options to
determine what phase error value is fed to the loop (See
“Phase and Frequency Detectors” on page 15”)
depending on the type of jitter/wander expected.
The loop filter bandwidth and damping is programmable
to optimize the locking time/ability to track the input. See
“DPLL1 Jitter Transfer Characteristic, (Freq. = 1.544 MHz,
Jitter = 0.2 UI pk-pk, Damping Factor = 5)” on page 14
and “Damping Factor Programmability” on page 15.
Figure 5
1. Input reference and feedback frequency selection See “PLL Architecture” on page 11, and ‘‘Input
Locking Frequency Modes’’ on page 7.
2. Loop Bandwidth and Damping factor of the DPLLs these determine how fast the device can to lock to the
selected input, or how tightly it can track the input.
3. PFD settings - these affect the input phase error to the
Loop filter and relate to jitter and wander tolerance See “Phase/Frequency/Lock Detection” on page 15.
DPLL1 initially tries to lock to the input frequency of the
selected input SEC. By default, it uses a wide “acquisition”
bandwidth setting until it has achieved frequency lock,
then DPLL1 switches to using a narrower “Locked”
bandwidth setting as it locks to the phase of the input.
Input Acquisition Bandwidth
DPLL1 has programmable acquisition bandwidth of 18,
35 or 70 Hz. The default is set to 70 Hz.

FINAL
Input Locked Bandwidth
Phase/Frequency/Lock Detection
The ACS8526 has programmable “Locked” bandwidth of
18, 35 or 70 Hz. These bandwidth settings correspond to
the -3 dB jitter attenuation point on the ACS8526’s jitter
transfer characteristic shown in Figure 5.
Two main types of detector are available in the ACS8526:
The DPLL damping factor is set by default to provide a
maximum wander gain peak of around 0.1 dB. Many of
the specifications (e.g. GR-1244-CORE [13], G.812[7] and
G.813[8]) specify a wander transfer gain of less than
0.2 dB. GR-253[11] specifies jitter (not wander) transfer of
less than 0.1 dB. To accommodate the required levels of
transfer gain, the ACS8526 provides a choice of damping
factors, with more choice given as the bandwidth setting
increases into the frequency regions classified as jitter.
Table 5 shows which damping factors are available for
selection at the different bandwidth settings, and the
corresponding jitter transfer approximate gain peak.

z
Phase Loss/Lock detectors.
There are two multi-phase and frequency detectors, one
for each DPLL. The multi-phase and frequency detectors
are used to compare input and feedback clocks. They
operate at input frequencies up to 77.76 MHz
(155.52 MHz is internally divided down to 77.76 MHz).
Damping Factor Programmability
Reg. 6B [2:0]
Phase and frequency detectors, and
Phase and Frequency Detectors
If the ACS8526 is used with only DPLL1, the highest
bandwidth setting is recommended to ensure the best
tracking of the input SEC. If DPLL2 is also to be used,
DPLL1 should be set to a lower bandwidth setting than
DPLL2. The lowest bandwidth setting will provide the
highest jitter attenuation, although this is not the main
function of the ACS8526 device.
Bandwidth/Hz
z
A common arrangement however is to use Lock8k mode
(See Bit 6 of Reg. 22 and 23), where all input frequencies
are divided down to 8 kHz internally. Marginally better
MTIE figures may be possible in direct lock mode due to
more regular phase updates. This direct locking capability
is one of the unique features of the ACS8526.
A multi-phase detector (patent pending) approach is used
in order to give an infinitesimally small input phase
resolution combined with large jitter tolerance. A
multi-phase detector comprises the following phase
detectors:
z
Phase and frequency detector (± 360°, or ± 180°
range).
z
An Early/Late phase detector for fine resolution.
z
A multi-cycle phase detector for large input jitter
tolerance (up to 8191 UI), which captures and
remembers phase differences of many cycles
between input and feedback clocks.
The phase detectors can be configured to be immune to
occasional missing input clock pulses by using nearest
edge detection (± 180°capture) or the normal
± 360° phase capture range which gives frequency
locking. The device will automatically switch to nearest
edge locking when it has detected that phase lock has
been achieved. It is possible to disable the selection of
nearest edge locking via Reg. 03 Bit 6 (set to 1). In this
setting, frequency locking will always be enabled.
The balance between the first two types of phase detector
employed can be adjusted via Reg. 6A, 6C and 6D. The
default settings should be sufficient for all modes.
Adjustment of these settings affects only small signal
overshoot and bandwidth.
The multi-cycle phase detector (wide-range) is enabled via
Reg. 74, Bit 6 set to 1 and the range is set in exponentially
increasing steps from ± 1 UI up to 8191 UI via Reg. 74,
Bits [3:0].

FINAL
When this detector is enabled it keeps a track of the
correct phase position over many cycles of phase
difference to give excellent jitter tolerance. This provides
an alternative to switching to Lock8k mode as a method
of achieving high jitter tolerance.
DPLL Feature Summary
z
Multiple E1 and DS1 outputs supported
An additional control (Reg. 74 Bit 5) enables the
multi-phase detector value to be used in the final phase
value as part of the DPLL loop. When enabled by setting
High, the multi cycle phase value will be used in the loop
and gives faster pull-in (but more overshoot). The
characteristics of the loop will be similar to Lock8k mode
where again large input phase differences contribute to
the loop dynamics. Setting the bit Low only uses a max
figure of 360° in the loop and will give slower pull-in but
gives less overshoot. The final phase position that the
loop has to pull in to is still tracked and remembered by
the multi-cycle phase detector in either case.
z
Low jitter MFrSync (2 kHz) and FrSync (8 kHz) outputs
z
Multiple phase loss and multiple phase detectors (see
“DPLL1 Advanced Features”)
z
Direct PLL locking to common SONET/SDH input
frequencies or any multiple of 8 kHz
z
Fast detection on input failure and entry into Digital
Holdover mode (holds at the current frequency value)
z
Frequency translation between input and output rates
via direct digital synthesis
z

dynamics combined with an APLL for low jitter final

z
Selectable Automatic DPLL bandwidth control (auto*
selects either Locked bandwidth, or Acquisition
bandwidth), or Locked DPLL bandwidth (Reg. 3B
Bit 7).
z
Programmable bandwidth controls:
(* = hardware default selection)
DPLL1 Main Features
Phase lock/loss detection is handled in several ways.
Phase loss can be triggered from:
z
The fine phase lock detector, which measures the
phase between input and feedback clock
z
The coarse phase lock detector, which monitors whole
cycle slips
z
Detection that the DPLL is at min. or max. frequency
z
Detection of no activity on the input
z
Each of these sources of phase loss indication is
individually enabled via registers bits (see Reg. 73 and
74). Phase lock or loss is used to determine whether to
switch to nearest edge locking and whether to use
acquisition or normal bandwidth settings for the DPLL.
Acquisition bandwidth is used for faster pull-in from an
unlocked state.
The coarse phase lock detector detects phase differences
of n cycles between input and feedback clocks, where n is
set by Reg. 74, Bits [3:0]; the same register that is used
for the coarse phase detector range, since these
functions go hand in hand. This detector may be used in
the case where it is required that a phase loss indication
is not given for reasonable amounts of input jitter and so
the fine phase loss detector is disabled and the coarse
detector is used instead.

z
Can provide the source for the 2 kHz and 8 kHz
outputs available at Outputs 01 and 02 (Reg. 7A Bit
7).
The ACS8526 delivers four output signals on the following
ports: Two clocks, one each on Output O1 and O2, and two
Sync signals, one each on output ports FrSync and
MFrSync. Outputs O1 and O2 are independent of each
other and are individually selectable. Output 01 is a
differential port (pins O1POS and O1NEG), and can be
selected to be PECL or LVDS via Reg. 3A
cnfg_differential_output. Output O2 (pin O2) and the Sync
outputs are TTL/CMOS compatible.
The frequencies available on the outputs can be selected
from a range of spot frequencies by either:
z
Hardware selection: configuring the hardware pins
OP_FREQ1 [2:0], OP_FREQ2[2:0] and SONSDH, which
are read on reset, or
z
Register programming: writing to the registers after
the end of the initialization period.
Output Frequency Selection by Hardware
Tables 6 and 7 show the hardware settings for selecting
particular output frequencies on Outputs 01 and 02. Note
that the hardware frequency selection method provides
only a subset (11) of the total number of frequencies (55)
available when selecting by register programming.

DPLL2 Advanced Features
The advanced features are the same as those for DPLL1,
with DPLL2 using the configuration values for DPLL1, with
the following exceptions:
Revision 3.00/January 2003 © Semtech Corp.
Outputs
The two Sync outputs, FrSync (8 kHz) and MFrSync
(2 kHz), are derived from DPLL1.
• Locked bandwidth: 18*, 35 or 70 Hz
z
• Digital feedback (Reg. 6C Bits [2:0])
• Analog feedback (all frequencies above 8K)
(Reg. 6C Bits [6:4])
• Analog 8k (or less) feedback (Reg. 6A Bits [2:0]).
The output frequencies on O1 and O2 are controlled by a
number of interdependent parameters (refer to ‘‘PLL
Architecture’’ on page 11). The frequencies of the output
clocks are selectable from a range of pre-defined spot
frequencies/port technologies, as defined in Table 8.

Using Output O2 to Control Pulse Width of 2/8 kHz on FrSync,
MFrSync and 01 Outputs
It can be seen from Table 13 (01 and 02 Output
Frequency Selection) that frequencies listed as 2 kHz and
8 kHz can be selected. Whilst the FrSync and MFrSync
outputs are always supplied from DPLL1, the 2 kHz and
8 kHz options available from the O1 and O2 outputs are
all supplied via DPLL1 or DPLL2 (Reg. 7A Bit 7).
The outputs can be either clocks (50:50 mark-space) or
pulses, and can be inverted. When pulse configuration is
used, the pulse width will be one cycle of the rate selected
on Output O2 (Output O2 must be configured to generate
at least 1,544 kHz to ensure that pulses are generated
correctly). Figure 6 shows the various options with the
8 kHz controls in Reg. 7A. There is an identical
arrangement with Reg. 7A Bits [1:0] for the 2 kHz 01 and
MFrSync outputs. Outputs FrSync and MFrSync can be
disabled via Reg. 63 Bits [7:6].

Local Oscillator Clock
FINAL
Status Reporting
The Master system clock on the ACS8526 should be
provided by an external clock oscillator of frequency
12.800 MHz. Wander on the local oscillator clock will not
have a significant effect on the output clock whilst in
Locked mode. In Free-Run or Holdover mode wander on
the crystal is more significant. Variation in crystal
temperature or supply voltage both cause drifts in
operating frequency, as does ageing. These effects must
be limited by careful selection of a suitable component for
the local oscillator. Please contact Semtech for
information on crystal oscillator suppliers.
Crystal Frequency Calibration
The absolute crystal frequency accuracy is less important
than the stability since any frequency offset can be
compensated by adjustment of register values in the IC.
This allows for calibration and compensation of any
crystal frequency variation away from its nominal value.
An adjustment of ± 50 ppm would be sufficient to cope
with most crystals, in fact the range is an order of
magnitude larger due to the use of two 8-bit register
locations. The setting of the conf_nominal_frequency
register allows for this adjustment. An increase in the
register value increases the output frequencies by
0.0196229 ppm for each LSB step.
Note...The default register value (in decimal) = 39321
(9999 hex) = 0 ppm offset. The minimum to maximum offset
range of the register is 0 to 65535 (dec), giving an adjustment
range of -770 ppm to +514 ppm of the output frequencies, in
0.0196229 ppm steps.
Example: If the crystal was oscillating at 12.800 MHz + 5 ppm,
then the calibration value in the register to give a - 5 ppm
adjustment in output frequencies to compensate for the crystal
inaccuracy, would be:
39321 - (5 / 0.0196) = 39066 (dec) = 989A (hex).
Power-On Reset
The Power-On Reset (PORB) pin resets the device if forced
Low. The reset is asynchronous, the minimum Low pulse
width is 5 ns. Reset is needed to initialize all of the
register values to their defaults. Reset must be asserted
at power on, and may be re-asserted at any time to restore
defaults. This is implemented simply using an external
capacitor to GND along with the internal pull-up resistor.
The ACS8526 is held in a reset state for 250 ms after the
PORB pin has been pulled High. In normal operation PORB
should be held High.
Revision 3.00/January 2003 © Semtech Corp.
Loss of Input Signal - LOS Flag
In the event of loss of SEC input signal, LOS flag is raised
on the LOS_ALARM pin.
Status Information
Status information can be read from the following Status
Registers:
z
sts_current_DPLL_frequency (Reg. 0C, 0D, and 07)
z
sts_reference_sources (Reg. 11).
The registers sts_current_DPLL_frequency report the
frequency of DPLL1 or DPLL2 with respect to the external
crystal XO frequency (after calibration via Reg. 3C, 3D if
used). The selection of DPLL2 or DPLL1 reporting is made
via Reg. 4B, Bit 4. The value is a 19-bit signed number
with one LSB representing 0.0003068 ppm (range of ±
80 ppm). This value is actually the integral path value in
the DPLL, and as such corresponds to an averaged
measurement of the input frequency, with an averaging
time inversely proportional to the DPLL bandwidth setting.
Reading this regularly can show how the currently locked
source is varying in value e.g. due to frequency wander on
its input.
Serial Interface
The ACS8526 device has a serial interface which can be
SPI compatible.
The Motorola SPI convention is such that address and
data is transmitted and received MSB first. On the
ACS8526, device address and data are transmitted and
received LSB first. Address, read/write control and data
on the SDI pin is latched into the device on the rising edge
of the SCLK. During a read operation, serial data output
on the SDO pin can be read out of the device on either the
rising or falling edge of the SCLK depending on the logic
level of CLKE. For standard Motorola SPI compliance,
data should be clocked out of the SDO pin on the rising
edge of the SCLK so that it may be latched into the
microprocessor on the falling edge of the SCLK. Figure 7
and 8 show the timing diagrams of write and read
accesses for this interface.
The serial interface clock (SCLK) is not required to run
between accesses (i.e., when CSB = 1).

ADVANCED COMMUNICATION
Register Map
FINAL
Register Access
Each Register, or register group, is described in the
following Register Map (Table 17) and subsequent
Register Description Tables.
Register Organisation
The ACS8526 LC/P LITE uses a total of 45 eight-bit
registers, identified by a Register Name and
corresponding hexadecimal Register Address. They are
presented here in ascending order of Reg. address and
each Register is organised with the most-significant bit
positioned in the left-most bit, with bit significance
decreasing towards the right-most bit. Some registers
carry several individual data fields of various sizes, from
single-bit values (e.g. flags) upwards. Several data fields
are spread across multiple registers, as shown in the
Register Map, Table 17.
Shaded areas in the map are “don’t care” and writing
either 0 or 1 to them will not affect any function of the
device.
Bits labelled “Set to 0” or “Set to 1” must be set as stated
during initialisation of the device, either following powerup, or after a power-on reset (POR). Failure to correctly set
these bits may result in the device operating in an
unexpected way.
CAUTION! Do not write to any undefined register
addresses as this may cause the device to operate in a
test mode. If an undefined register has been
inadvertently addressed, the device should be reset to
ensure the undefined registers are at default values.
Multi-word Registers
For multi-word registers (e.g. Reg. 0C and 0D), all the
words have to be written to their separate addresses in
order, and without any other access taking place, before
their combined value can take effect. If the sequence is
interrupted, or the addresses are written to in the wrong
order, the sequence of writes will be ignored.
Revision 3.00/January 2003 © Semtech Corp.
Most registers are either configuration registers or status
registers, the exceptions being the chip_id and
chip_revision registers. Configuration registers may be
written to or read from at any time (the complete 8-bit
register must be written, even if only one bit is being
modified). All status registers may be read at any time. A
description of each register is given in the Register Map,
and Register Map Description.
Configuration Registers
Each configuration register reverts to a default value on
power-up or following a reset. Most default values are
fixed, but some will be pin-settable. All configuration
registers can be read out over the serial port.
Status Registers
The Status Registers contain readable registers. They may
all be read from outside the chip but are not writeable
from outside the chip (except for a clearing operation). All
status registers are read via shadow registers to avoid
data hits due to dynamic operation. Each individual status
register has a unique location.
Flags
In the event of loss of the currently selected input a
no-activity flag is raised on pin LOS_ALARM indicating that
the input to DPLL1 has failed. The active state (High or
Low) of the LOS_ALARM pin is programmable and the pin
can either be driven, or set to high impedance when nonactive (Reg 7D refers).
Defaults
Each Register is given a defined default value at reset and
these are listed in the Map and Description Tables.
However, some read-only status registers may not
necessarily show the same default values after reset as
those given in the tables. This is because they reflect the
status of the device which may have changed in the time
it takes to carry out the read, or through reasons of pin
configuration. In the same way, the default values given
for shaded areas could also take different values to those
stated.

disable_180
Normally the DPLL will try to lock to the nearest
edge (± 180°) for the first 2 seconds when locking
to a new reference. If the DPLL does not determine
that it is phase locked after this time, then the
capture range reverts to ± 360°, which corresponds
to frequency and phase locking. Forcing the DPLL
into frequency locking mode may reduce the time to
frequency lock to a new reference by up to two
seconds. However, this may cause an unnecessary
phase shift of up to 360° when the new and old
references are very close in frequency and phase.

Analog dividers always synchronized.This keeps the
clocks divided down from the APLL output, in sync

Hence ensuring that 6.48 MHz output clocks, and
above, are in sync with the DPLL even though only a

(cnfg_registers_source_select) = 0 the frequency

-
Value Description
In order to calculate the ppm offset of the DPLL with
respect to the crystal oscillator frequency, the value
in Reg. 07, Reg. 0D and Reg. 0C need to be
concatenated. This value is a 2’s complement
signed integer. The value multiplied by
0.0003068 dec. will give the value in ppm offset
with respect to the XO frequency, allowing for any
crystal calibration that has been performed, via
cnfg_nominal_frequency, Reg. 3C and 3D. The
value is actually the DPLL integral path value so it
can be viewed as an average frequency, where the
rate of change is related to the DPLL bandwidth. If
Bit 3 of Reg. 3B is High then this value will freeze if
the DPLL has been pulled to its min or max
frequency.

register can, after the initialization period (251 ms
after PORB goes High), be changed on an individual
basis by writing to each register separately via the

cause these registers’ values to be overwritten by
whatever value is on the pins at the time of the

DPLL1_lim_int
When set to 1 the integral path value of DPLL1 is
limited or frozen when DPLL1 reaches either min. or
max. frequency. This can be used to minimise
subsequent overshoot when the DPLL is pulling in.
Note that when this bit is enabled, the reported
frequency value, via current_DPLL_freq (Reg. 0C,
0D and 07), is also frozen.

This register is used in conjunction with Reg. 3C
(cnfg_nominal_frequency_value[7:0].) to be able to
offset the frequency of the crystal oscillator by up to
+514 ppm and –770 ppm. The default value
represents 0 ppm offset from 12.80 MHz.
This value is a 2s-complement signed integer.

Value Description
In order to program the ppm offset of the crystal
oscillator frequency, the value in Reg. 3C and
Reg. 3D need to be concatenated. This value is an
unsigned integer. The value multiplied by
0.0196229 dec. will give the value in ppm. To
calculate the absolute value, the default 39321

Bits [7:0] of cnfg_DPLL_freq_limit
This register defines the extent of frequency offset
to which DPLL1 will track a source before limitingi.e. it represents the pull-in range of the DPLLs. The
offset of the device is determined by the frequency
offset of the DPLL when compared to the offset of
the external crystal oscillator clocking the device. If
the oscillator is calibrated using
cnfg_nominal_frequency Reg. 3C and 3D, then this
calibration is automatically taken into account. The
DPLL frequency limit limits the offset of the DPLL
when compared to the calibrated oscillator
frequency.

In order to calculate the frequency limit in ppm,
Bit 1 of Reg. 42 and Reg. 41 need to be

The DPLL detects that an input has failed very

and will phase lock to the nearest edge (± 180º)
when a source becomes available again, hence
giving tolerance to missing cycles. If phase loss is
indicated, then frequency and phase locking is
instigated (± 360º locking). This bit can be used to
force the DPLL to indicate phase loss immediately
when no activity is detected.

phase_loss_fine_limit
When enabled by Bit 7, this register coarsely sets
the phase limit at which the device indicates phase
lost or locked. The default value of 2 (010) gives a
window size of around ± 90 - 180º. The phase
position of the inputs to the DPLL has to be within
the window limit for 1 – 2 seconds before the device
indicates phase lock. If it is outside the window for
any time then phase loss is immediately indicated.
For most cases the default value of 2 (010) is
satisfactory. The window size changes in proportion
to the value, so a value of 1 (001) will give a narrow
phase acceptance or lock window of approximately
± 45 - 90º.

wide_range_en
To enable the device to be tolerant to large amounts
of applied jitter and still do direct phase locking at
the input frequency rate (up to 77.76 MHz), a wide
range phase detector and phase lock detector is
employed. This bit enables the wide range phase
detector. This allows the device to be tolerant to,
and therefore keep track of, drifts in input phase of
many cycles (UI). The range of the phase detector is
set by the same register used for the phase loss
coarse limit (Bits [3:0]).
0
1
Wide range phase detector off.
Wide range phase detector on.
5
multi_ph_resp
Enables the phase result from the coarse phase
detector to be used in the DPLL algorithm. Bit 6
should also be set when this is activated. The
coarse phase detector can measure and keep track
over many thousands of input cycles, thus allowing
excellent jitter and wander tolerance. This bit
enables that phase result to be used in the DPLL
algorithm, so that a large phase measurement gives
a faster pull-in of the DPLL. If this bit is not set then
the phase measurement is limited to ± 360º which
can give a slower pull-in rate at higher input
frequencies, but could also be used to give less
overshoot.
Setting this bit in direct locking mode, for example
with a 19.44 MHz input, would give the same
dynamic response as a 19.44 MHz input used with
8 k locking mode, where the input is divided down
internally to 8 kHz first.
0
DPLL phase detector limited to ± 360º (± 1 UI).
However it will still remember its original phase
position over many thousands of UI if Bit 6 is set.

phase detector result. It can now measure up to:
± 360º x 8191 UI = ± 2,948,760º.

many input clock periods. This is particularly useful
with very low bandwidths. This register configures
how many UI over which the input phase can be

loss detector, which can be used with or without the
multi-UI phase capture range capability.
This register value is used by Bits 6 and 7.

Electrical Specifications
FINAL
JTAG
Over-voltage Protection
The JTAG connections on the ACS8526 allow a full
boundary scan to be made. The JTAG implementation is
fully compliant to IEEE 1149.1[4], with the following minor
exceptions, and the user should refer to the standard for
further information.
The ACS8526 may require Over-voltage Protection on
input reference clock ports according to ITU
recommendation K.41[10]. Semtech protection devices
are recommended for this purpose (see separate
Semtech data book).
1. The output boundary scan cells do not capture data
from the core, and so do not support EXTEST.
However this does not affect board testing.
2. In common with some other manufacturers, pin TRST
is internally pulled Low to disable JTAG by default. The
standard is to pull High. The polarity of TRST is as the
standard: TRST High to enable JTAG boundary scan
mode, TRST Low for normal operation.
The JTAG timing diagram is shown in Figure 9.

Revision Status/History
FINAL
The Revision Status, as shown in top right corner of the
datasheet, may be TARGET, PRELIMINARY, or FINAL, and
refers to the status of the Device (not the datasheet), with
the design cycle. TARGET status is used when the design
is being realised but is not yet physically available, and the
datasheet content reflects the intention of the design. The
datasheet is raised to PRELIMINARY status when initial
prototype devices are physically available, and the
datasheet content more accurately represents the
realisation of the design. The datasheet is only raised to
FINAL status after the device has been fully characterized,
and the datasheet content updated with measured,
rather than simulated parameter values.
This is a FINAL release (Revision 3.00) of the ACS8526
datasheet. Changes made for this document revision are
given in Table 29, together with a brief summary of
previous revision changes. For specific changes between
earlier revisions, refer (where available) to those earlier
revisions. Always use the current version of the datasheet.
