MOTOROLA MC12439

SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNICAL DATA
The MC12439 is a general purpose synthesized clock source targeting
applications that require both serial and parallel interfaces. Its internal
VCO will operate over a range of frequencies from 400 to 800MHz. The
differential PECL output can be configured to be the VCO frequency
divided by 1, 2, 4, or 8. With the output configured to divide the VCO
frequency by 1, and with a 16.66MHz external quartz crystal used to
provide the reference frequency, the output frequency can be specified in
16.66MHz steps.

Functional Description
The internal oscillator uses the external quartz crystal as the basis of its frequency reference. The output of the reference
oscillator is sent directly to the phase detector. With a 16.66MHz crystal, this provides a reference frequency of 16.66MHz.
Although this data sheet illustrates functionality only for a 16MHz and 16.66MHz crystal, any crystal in the 10–20MHz range can
be used. In addition to the crystal, an LVCMOS input can also be used as the PLL reference. The reference is selected via the
XTAL_SEL input pin.
The VCO within the PLL operates over a range of 400 to 800MHz. Its output is scaled by a divider that is configured by either
the serial or parallel interfaces. The output of this loop divider is also applied to the phase detector.
The phase detector and loop filter attempt to force 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 loop lock.
The output of the VCO is also passed through an output divider before being sent to the PECL output driver. This output divider
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
in 50Ω to VCC – 2.0.
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. Normally, on system reset, the P_LOAD input is held LOW until sometime after 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 to reduce component count in the
application of the chip.
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. See 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. See the
programming section for more information.
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 INTERFACE
FOUT = 16M, FOUT = 8M,
FOUT = 4M and FOUT = 2M
for 25 < M < 50
Programming the device amounts to properly configuring
the internal dividers to produce the desired frequency at the
outputs. The output frequency can by represented by this
formula:
FOUT = FXTAL x M ÷ N
The user can identify the proper M and N values for the
desired frequency from the above equations. The four output
frequency ranges established by N are 400–800MHz,
200–400MHz, 100–200MHz and 50–100MHz respectively.
From these ranges the user will establish the value of N
required, then the value of M can be calculated based on the
appropriate equation above. For example if an output
frequency of 384MHz was desired the following steps would
be taken to identify the appropriate M and N values. 384MHz
falls within the frequency range set by an N value of 2 so N
[1:0] = 00. For N = 2 FOUT = 8M and M = FOUT ÷ 8.
Therefore M = 384 ÷ 8 = 48, so M[8:0] = 0110000.
(1)
Where FXTAL is the crystal frequency, M is the loop divider
modulus, and N is the output divider modulus. Note that it is
possible to select values of M such that the PLL is unable to
achieve loop lock. To avoid this, always make sure that M is
selected to be 25 ≤ M ≤ 50 for a 16MHz input reference.
For input references other than 16MHz, the valid M values
can be calculated from the valid VCO range of 400–800MHz.
Assuming that a 16MHz reference frequency is used the
above equation reduces to:
For input reference frequencies other than 16MHz the set
of appropriate equations can be deduced from equation 1.
For computer applications another useful frequency base
would be 16.666MHz. From this reference one can generate
a family of output frequencies at multiples of the 33.333MHz
PCI clock. As an example to generate a 533.333MHz clock
FOUT = 16 x M ÷ N
Substituting the four values for N (1, 2, 4, 8) yields:

configuration stream. It is not configurable through the
parallel interface. Although it is possible to select the node
that represents FOUT, the CMOS output may not be able to
toggle fast enough for some of the higher output frequencies.
The T2, T1 and T0 control bits are preset to ‘000’ when
P_LOAD is LOW so that the PECL FOUT outputs are as
jitter–free 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.
from a 16.666MHz reference the following M and N values
would be used:
FOUT = 16.666 x M ÷ N
Let N = 1, M = 533.333 ÷ 16.666 = 32
The value for M falls within the constraints set for PLL stability
(400÷16.666 ≤ M ≤ 800÷16.666; 24 ≤ M ≤ 48), therefore
N[1:0] = 11 and M[6:0} = 0100000. If the value for M fell
outside of the valid range a different N value would be
selected to try to move M in the appropriate direction.
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 streeam 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. NO TAG illustrates the timing diagram for both a
parallel and a serial load of the MC12439 synthesizer.
Most of the signals available on the TEST output pin are
useful only for performance verification of the MC12439
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 MC12439 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. NO TAG shows the functional setup of the PLL
bypass mode. Because the S_CLOCK is a CMOS level the
input frequency is limited to 250MHz or less. This means the
fastest the FOUT pin can be toggled via the S_CLOCK is
250MHz as the minimum divide ratio of the N counter is 1.
Note that the M counter output on the TEST output will not be
a 50% duty cycle due to the way the divider is implemented.
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.
The TEST output provides visibility for one of the several
internal nodes as determined by the T[2:0] bits in the serial

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Using the On–Board Crystal Oscillator
The MC12439 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 MC12439 as
possible to avoid any board level parasitics. To facilitate
co–location surface mount crystals are recommended, but
not required.
be seen on a fully digital product. Analog circuitry is naturally
susceptible to random noise, especially if this noise is seen
on the power supply pins. The MC12439 provides separate
power supplies for the digital ciruitry (VCC) and the internal
PLL (PLL_VCC) 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 PLL_VCC pin for the MC12439.
Figure 5 illustrates a typical power supply filter scheme.
The MC12439 is most susceptible to noise with spectral
content in the 1KHz to 1MHz 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
PLL_VCC pin of the MC12439. From the data sheet the
IPLL_VCC current (the current sourced through the PLL_VCC
pin) is typically 15mA (20mA maximum), assuming that a
minimum of 3.0V must be maintained on the PLL_VCC pin
very little DC voltage drop can be tolerated when a 3.3V VCC
supply is used. The resistor shown in Figure 5 must have a
resistance of 10–15Ω 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 20KHz. As the noise frequency crosses the
series resonant point of an individual capacitor it’s 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.
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 MC12439 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 1
below specifies the performance requirements of the crystals
to be used with the MC12439.

ensure a stable, jitter free interface between the crystal and
the on–board oscillator.
Although the MC12439 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.
A higher level of attenuation can be acheived by replacing
the resistor with an appropriate valued inductor. A 1000µH
choke will show a significant impedance at 10KHz
frequencies and above. Because of the current draw and the
voltage that must be maintained on the PLL_VCC pin a low
DC resistance inductor is required (less than 15Ω). Generally
the resistor/capacitor filter will be cheaper, easier to
implement and provide an adequate level of supply filtering.
The MC12439 provides sub–nanosecond output edge
rates and thus a good power supply bypassing scheme is a
must. Figure 6 shows a representaive board layout for the
MC12439. 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 12439 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.

Jitter Performance of the MC12439
The MC12439 exhibits long term and cycle–to–cycle jitter
which rivals that of SAW based oscillators. This jitter
performance comes with the added flexibility one gets with a
synthesizer over a fixed frequency oscillator.

NO TAG illustrates the RMS jitter performance of the
MC12439 across its specified VCO frequency range. Note
that the jitter is a function of both the output frequency as well
as the VCO frequency, however the VCO frequency shows a
much stronger dependence. The data presented has not
been compensated for trigger jitter, this fact provides a
measure of guardband to the reported data. In addition the
data represents long term period jitter, the cycle–to–cycle
jitter could not be measured to the level of accuracy required
with available test equipment but certainly will be smaller
than the long term period jitter.

The most commonly specified jitter parameter is
cycle–to–cycle jitter. Unfortunately with today’s high
performance measurement equipment there is no way to
measure this parameter for jitter performance in the class
demonstrated by the MC12439. As a result different methods
are used which approximate cycle–to–cycle jitter. The typical
method of measuring the jitter is to accumulate a large
number of cycles, create a histogram of the edge placements
and record peak–to–peak as well as standard deviations of
the jitter. Care must be taken that the measured edge is the
edge immediately following the trigger edge. The
oscilloscope cannot collect adjacent pulses, rather it collects
pulses from a very large sample of pulses. It is safe to
assume that collecting pulse information in this mode will
produce period jitter values somewhat larger than if
consecutive cycles (cycle–to–cycle jitter) were measured. All
of the jitter data reported on the MC12439 was collected in
this manner.

Figure 8. RMS Jitter versus Output Frequency
Figure 9. Peak–to–Peak Jitter versus
Output Frequency
NO TAG shows the jitter as a function of the output
frequency. For the 12439 this information is probably of more
importance. The flat line represents an RMS jitter value that
corresponds to an 8 sigma ±25ps peak–to–peak long term
period jitter. The graph shows that for output frequencies
from 87.5 to 400MHz the jitter falls within the ±25ps
peak–to–peak specification. The general trend is that as the
output frequency is decreased the output edge jitter will
increase.
The jitter data presented should provide users with
enough information to determine the effect on their overall
timing budget. The jitter performance meets the needs of
most system designs while adding the flexibility of frequency
margining and field upgrades. These features are not
available with a fixed frequency SAW oscillator.
The jitter data from NO TAG and NO TAG do not include
the performance of the 12439 when the output is in the divide
by 1 mode. In divide by one mode the output signal is a
digitally doubled version of the VCO output. The period of the
outputs of the digital doubler is dependent on the duty cycle
of the VCO output. Since the VCO output duty cycle cannot
be guaranteed to be always 50% the resulting 12439 output
in divide by one mode will be bimodal at times. Since a
bimodal distribution cannot be acurately represented with an
rms value, peak–to–peak values of jitter for the divide by one
mode are presented.
Output Voltage Swing vs Frequency
In the divide by one mode the output rise and fall times will
limit the peak to peak output voltage swing. For a 400MHz
output the peak to peak swing of the 12439 output will be
approximately 700mV. This swing will gradually degrade as
the output frequency increases, at 800MHz the output swing
will be reduced to approximately 500mV. For a worst case
analysis it would be safe to assume that the 12439 output will
always generate at least a 400mV output swing. Note that
most high speed ECL receivers require only a few hundred
millivolt input swings for reliable operation. As a result the
output generated by the 12439 will, under all conditions, be
sufficient for clocking standard ECL devices. Note that if a
larger swing is desired the 12439 could drive a single gate
ECLinPS Lite amplifier like the MC100LVEL16. The LVEL16
will speed up the output edge rates and produce a full swing
ECL output at 800MHz.
Figure 9 shows the peak–to–peak jitter of the 12439
output in divide by one mode as a function of output
frequency. Notice that as with the other modes the jitter
improves with increasing frequency. The ±65ps shown in the
data sheet table represents a conservative value of jitter,
especially for the higher vco, and thus output frequencies.
