Analog Frequency Multiplier
PL560-XX VCXO Family
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Analog Frequency Multiplier (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.
Micrel’s world’s best performing 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.
PL560/5-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 performanc e:
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 v alues from
Micrel’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.
The inductor is recommended to be a high Q small size 0402 or 0603 SMD component, and must be placed
between L2X / L4X and adjacent VDDOSC pin. Place inductor as close to the IC as possible to minimize parasitic
effects and to maintain inductor Q.
To assist with the inductor value optimization, Micrel has developed the “AFM Tuning Assistant” software. You
can download this software from Micrel’s web site (www.micrel.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 Micrel’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 Micrel’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 dif ferent 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:
