Analog Frequency Multiplier
PL560-xx VCXO Family
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PhaseLink’s Analog Frequency Multiplier
TM
(AFM) is
the industry’s first ‘Balanced Oscillator’ utilizing
analog multiplication of the fundamental frequency
(at double or quadruple frequency), combined with
an attenuation of the fundamental of the reference
crystal, without the use of a phase-locked loop
(PLL), in CMOS technology.
PhaseLink’s patent pending PL560-xx family of AFM
products can achieve up to 800 MHz output
frequency with little jitter or phase noise
deterioration. In addition, the low frequency input
crystal requirement makes the AFMs the most
affordable high-performance timing-source in the
market.
PL560-xx family of products utilize low-power CMOS
technology and are housed in
GREEN/
RoHS
compliant
16-pin TSSOP, and 16-pin 3x3 QFN
packages.

To minimize parasitic effects, and improve performance:
•
Place the crystal as close as possible to the IC.
•
Make the board traces that are connected to the crystal pins symmetrical.
•
The board trace symmetry is important, as it reduces the negative parasitic effects to produce a clean frequency multiplication with
low jitter. Parasitic effects reduce frequency pulling of the VCXO and increase jitter.

EXTERNAL COMPONENT VALUES
INDUCTOR VALUE OPTIMIZATION
The required inductor value(s) for the best performance depends on the operating frequency, and the board
layout specifications. The listed values in this datasheet are based on the calculated parasitic values from
PhaseLink’s evaluation board design. These inductor values provide the user with a starting point to determine
the optimum inductor values. Additional fine-tuning may be required to determine the optimal solution.
To assist with the inductor value optimization, PhaseLink has developed the “AFM Tuning Assistant” software.
You can download this software from PhaseLink’s web site (www.phaselink.com). The software consists of two
worksheets. The first worksheet (named L2) is used to fine-tune the ‘L2’ inductor value, and the second
worksheet (named L4) is used for fine tuning of the ‘L4’ (used in 4x AFMs only) inductor value.
For those designs using PhaseLink’s recommended board layout, you can use the “AFM Tuning Assistant” to
determine the optimum values for the required inductors. This software is developed based on the parasitic
information from PhaseLink’s board layout and can be used to determine the required inductor and parallel
capacitor (see LWB1 and Cstray parameters) values. For those employing a different board layout in their
design, we recommend to use the parasitic information of their board layout to calculate the optimized inductor
values. Please use the following fine tuning procedure:
