Description
IDT FemtoClock

NG Universal Frequency Translators (UFT) cover all your frequency synthesis
and translation needs. As a frequency synthesizer, a low-cost, readily-available fundamental-
mode crystal can be used to generate any output frequency from 1MHz to 1.3GHz. The internal
architecture of the device allows any frequency of crystal from 16MHz to 40MHz to be used re-
gardless of the frequency desired.
As a frequency translator, this family of devices accepts 1 or 2 input reference clocks from 8 kHz
to 710 MHz, switching between them as necessary and generates any output frequency from
1 MHz to 1.3 GHz with no frequency translation error in most cases. Two different pin-selectable
configurations may be pre-loaded into the internal One-Time Programmable (OTP) non-volatile
memory for automatic operation directly from power-up, or an I
2
C serial interface can be used to
set the desired configurations.
In addition to a crystal input, the UFT features two clock inputs and provides two copies of the
output frequency. Each output is individually programmable as LVPECL or LVDS. Versions of the
UFT with single-ended outputs are also available. Selection between the two input references
may be performed manually via either pin or register, or it may be performed automatically with
revertive or non-revertive recovery.

STATUS MONITORING
The UFT monitors a number of conditions and
reports their status via both output pins and
register bits, such as:
•
Lock indicator: this status is asserted when
the PLL is locked to the appropriate input
reference for the chosen mode of operation
•
Holdover: indicates that the device is
not locked to a valid input reference clock
FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER MODE
• Uses a 16 MHz to 40 MHz fundamental mode crystal
• Output frequency range: from 1 MHz to 1300 MHz
• Any frequency output
• Very low RMS jitter
HIGH-BANDWIDTH FREQUENCY
TRANSLATOR MODE
• Input frequency range: from 16 MHz to 710 MHz
• Output frequency range: from 1 MHz to 1300 MHz
• Any frequency output
• Internally selectable bandwidth
• Fast lock time and quick response to
frequency changes
• Allows tracking of Spread-Spectrum clocks
LOW-BANDWIDTH FREQUENCY
TRANSLATOR MODE
• Input frequency range: from 8 kHz to 710 MHz
• Output frequency range: from 1 MHz to 1300 MHz
• Any frequency output
• Internally selectable bandwidth
• External loop filter may be used
Frequency Synthesizer Mode
Frequency Synthesizer Mode allows an arbitrary output frequency to be generated from a
fundamental mode crystal input. The PLL feedback loop supports a second-order delta-sigma
fractional feedback divider. This allows the VCO operating frequency to be a non-integer mul-
tiple of the crystal frequency.
High-Bandwidth Frequency Translator Mode
High-Bandwidth Frequency Translator Mode is used to translate one or two input clocks of
the same nominal frequency into a specified output frequency, attenuating cycle-to-cycle
jitter. As seen on Fig. 1, only the High-Bandwidth PLL loop is used. A pre-divider stage is avail-
able, enabling input frequencies up to 710 MHz.

Low-Bandwidth Frequency Translator Mode (Jitter Attenuator Mode)
Low-Bandwidth Frequency Translator Mode involves two PLL loops and is typically used
to achieve large output-to-input frequency translation ratios. The Low-Bandwidth PLL loop
drives a digitally controlled crystal oscillator (DCXO) loop via an analog-to-digital converter.
The phase detector is optimized to work with frequencies starting at 8 kHz. An external low-
pass filter can be used, as shown on Fig. 2.
