VCO control voltage. Note that for some values of M (either too high
or too low) the PLL will not achieve loop lock.
INTRODUCTION
The PCK12429 is a general purpose synthesized clock source
targeting applications that require both serial and parallel interfaces.
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 2, and with a 16.000 MHz external
quartz crystal used to provide the reference frequency, the output
frequency can be specified in 1 MHz steps. The PLL loop filter is
fully integrated so that no external components are required.
The output of the VCO is also passed through an output divider
before being sent to the PECL output driver. This output divider (N
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 50 Ω
to VCC–2.0. The positive reference for the output driver and the
internal logic is separated from the power supply for the
phase-locked loop to minimize noise induced jitter.
FEATURES
• 25 to 400 MHz differential PECL outputs
• ±25 ps peak-to-peak output jitter
• Fully integrated phase-locked loop
• Minimal frequency over-shoot
• Synthesized architecture
• Serial 3-wire interface
• Parallel interface for power-up
• Quartz crystal interface
• Package offer: SO28, PLCC28, and LQFP32
• Operates from 3.3 V power supply
The configuration logic has two sections: serial and parallel. The
parallel interface uses the values at the M[8:0] 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[8:0] and
N[1:0] inputs to reduce component count in the application of the
chip.
The internal oscillator uses the external quartz crystal as the basis
of its frequency reference. The output of the reference oscillator is
divided by 16 before being sent to the phase detector.
The serial interface centers on a fourteen 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 VCO 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 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.
DESCRIPTION
The phase detector and loop filter attempt to force the VCO output
frequency to be M times the reference frequency by adjusting the

FUNCTION
These pins form an oscillator when connected to an external series-resonant crystal.
S_LOAD (Int. pulldown)
This pin loads the configuration latches with the contents of the shift registers. The latches will be
transparent when this signal is HIGH, thus the data must be stable on the HIGH-to-LOW transition
of S_LOAD for proper operation.
S_DATA (Int. pulldown)
This pin acts as the data input to the serial configuration shift registers.
S_CLOCK (Int. pulldown)
This pin serves to clock the serial configuration shift registers. Data from S_DATA is sampled on the
rising edge.
P_LOAD (Int. pullup)
This pin loads the configuration latches with the contents of the parallel inputs. The latches will be
transparent when this signal is LOW, thus the parallel data must be stable on the LOW-to-HIGH
transition of P_LOAD for proper operation.
M[8:0] (Int. pullup)
These pins are used to configure the PLL loop divider. They are sampled on the LOW-to-HIGH
transition of P_LOAD, M[8] is the MSB, M[0] is the LSB.
N[1:0] (Int. pullup)
These pins are used to configure the output divider modulus. They are sampled on the
LOW-to-HIGH transition of P_LOAD.

The function of this output is determined by the serial configuration bits T[2:0].
This is the positive supply for the internal logic and the output buffer of the chip, and is connected to
+3.3 V (VCC = PLL_VCC).
This is the positive supply for the PLL, and should be as noise-free as possible for low-jitter
operation. This supply is connected to +3.3 V (VCC = PLL_VCC).
These pins are the negative supply for the chip and are normally all connected to ground.

of 2 so N [1:0] = 01. For N = 2 FOUT = M ÷ 2 and M = 2 × FOUT.
Therefore, M = 131 × 2 = 262, so M[8:0] = 100000110. Following this
same procedure a user can generate any whole frequency desired
between 25 and 400 MHz. Note that for N ≥ 2 fractional values of
FOUT can be realized. The size of the programmable frequency
steps (and thus the indicator of the fractional output frequencies
achievable) will be equal to FXTAL ÷ 16 ÷ N.
PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
Programming the device amounts to properly configuring the internal
dividers to produce the desired frequency at the outputs. The output
frequency can be represented by this formula:
FOUT = (FXTAL ÷ 16) × M ÷ N
(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 200 ≤ M ≤ 400
for a 16 MHz input reference.
For input reference frequencies other than 16 MHz, the set of
appropriate equations can be deduced from equation 1. For
computer applications another useful frequency base would be
16.666 MHz. From this reference, one can generate a family of
output frequencies at multiples of the 33.333 MHz PCI clock. As an
example, to generate a 133.333 MHz clock from a 16.666 MHz
reference, the following M and N values would be used:
Assuming that a 16 MHz reference frequency is used, the above
equation reduces to:
FOUT = M ÷ N
FOUT = 16.666 ÷ 16 × M ÷ N = 1.041625 × M ÷ N
Substituting the four values for N (1, 2, 4, or 8) yields:
Let N = 2, M = 256,
FOUT = 1.041625 × 256 ÷ 2 = 133.328 MHz
FOUT = M, FOUT = M ÷ 2,
FOUT = M ÷ 4 and FOUT = M ÷ 8
for 200 ≤ M ≤ 400
The value for M falls within the constraints set for PLL stability,
therefore N[1:0] = 01 and M[8:0] = 100000000. 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 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 200–400 MHz, 100–200 MHz,
50–100 MHz, and 25–50 MHz 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 131 MHz was desired, the
following steps would be taken to identify the appropriate M and N
values. 131 MHz falls within the frequency range set by an N value
2002 Jun 03
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[8:0] 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[8:0] 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 14-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 M8). 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 1 illustrates the timing
diagram for both a parallel and a serial load of the PCK12429
synthesizer.
Most of the signals available on the TEST output pin are useful only
for performance verification of the PCK12429 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 PCK12429 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 broad 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.
Figure 2 shows the functional setup of the PLL bypass mode.
Because the S_CLOCK is a CMOS level the input frequency is
limited to 250 MHz or less. This means the fastest the FOUT pin can
be toggled via the S_CLOCK is 125 MHz, as the minimum divide
ratio of the N counter is 2. 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[8:0] 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. To minimize
transients in the frequency domain, the output should be varied in
the smallest step size possible. The bandwidth of the PLL is such
that frequency stepping in 1 MHz steps at the maximum S_CLOCK
frequency or less will cause smooth, controlled slewing of the output
frequency.
Table 1. Test modes
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 CMOS
output may 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

this level of inaccuracy is immaterial. Table 2 specifies the

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Using the on-board crystal oscillator
The PCK12429 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 PCK12429 as possible to avoid
any board level parasitics. To facilitate co-location 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.
Table 2. Test modes
PARAMETER
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 PCK12429 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

resistor/capacitor filter will be cheaper, easier to implement, and
provide an adequate level of supply filtering.
Power supply filtering
The PCK12429 is a mixed analog/digital product and as such it
exhibits some sensitivities that would not necessarily 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 PCK12429 provides separate power supplies for the
digital circuitry (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 PCK12429.
The PCK12429 provides sub-nanosecond output edge rates, and
thus a good power supply bypassing scheme is a must. Figure 4
shows a representative board layout for the PCK12429. There exists
many different potential board layouts and the one pictured is but
one. The important aspect of the layout in Figure 4 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 PCK12429 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.
Figure 3 illustrates a typical power supply filter scheme. The
PCK12429 is most susceptible to noise with spectral content in the
1 kHz to 2 MHz range. A good choice of pole placement should be
close to 32 kHz. 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 PCK12429. From the data sheet
the IPLL_VCC current (the current sourced through the PLL_VCC pin)
is typically 15 mA (20 mA maximum), assuming that a minimum of
3.0 V must be maintained on the PLL_VCC pin, very little DC voltage
drop can be tolerated when a 3.3 V VCC supply is used. The resistor
shown in Figure 3 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.

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 PCK12429 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 achieved by replacing the
resistor with an appropriate valued inductor. Figure 3 shows a
1000 µH choke, this value 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 PLL_VCC pin, a low DC
resistance inductor is required (less than 15 Ω). Generally the

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 PCK12429 was collected in this manner.
Jitter performance of the PCK12429
The PCK12429 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.

Figure 6 shows the jitter as a function of the output frequency. For
the PCK12429, this information is probably of more importance. The
flat line represents an RMS jitter value that corresponds to an
8 sigma ±25 ps peak-to-peak long term period jitter. The graph
shows that for output frequencies from 125 to 400 MHz the jitter falls
within the ±25 ps peak-to-peak specification. The general trend is
that as the output frequency is decreased the output edge jitter will
increase.

Figure 5. RMS PLL jitter versus VCO frequency
Figure 5 illustrates the RMS jitter performance of the PCK12429
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.

Figure 6. RMS jitter versus output frequency
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 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 PCK12429. As a
result, different methods are used which approximate cycle-to-cycle
