4.0 Functional Block Description
4.1 Main Loop PLL
The main loop phase locked loop (ML-PLL) is a standard phase- and frequency- locked loop architecture. As shown in Figure 2, the
ML-PLL consists of a reference divider, a phase-frequency detector (PFD), a charge pump, an internal loop filter, a voltage-controlled
oscillator (VCO), a feedback divider, and a post divider.
During operation, the reference frequency (f
REF
), generated by either the on-board crystal oscillator or an external frequency source, is
first reduced by the reference divider. The integer value that the frequency is divided by is called the modulus, and is denoted as N
R
for
the reference divider. The divided reference is then fed into the PFD.
The PFD controls the frequency of the VCO (f
VCO
) through the charge pump and loop filter. The VCO provides a high-speed, low noise,
continuously variable frequency clock source for the ML-PLL. The output of the VCO is fed back to the PFD through the feedback
divider (the modulus is denoted by N
F
) to close the loop.
The PFD will drive the VCO up or down in frequency until the divided reference frequency and the divided VCO frequency appearing at
the inputs of the PFD are equal. The input/output relationship between the reference frequency and the VCO frequency is
f

If the VCO frequency is used as the PLL output frequency (f

4.1.1 Reference Divider
The reference divider is designed for low phase jitter. The divider accepts either the output of either the crystal loop (the VCXO output)
or an external reference frequency, and provides a divided-down frequency to the PFD. The reference divider is a 12-bit divider, and
can be programmed for any modulus from 1 to 4095. See both Table 3 and Table 8 for additional programming information.
4.1.2 Feedback Divider
The feedback divider is based on a dual-modulus pre-scaler technique. The technique allows the same granularity as a fully
programmable feedback divider, while still allowing the programmable portion to operate at low speed. A high-speed pre-divider (also
called a prescaler) is placed between the VCO and the programmable feedback divider because of the high speeds at which the VCO
can operate. The dual-modulus technique insures reliable operation at any speed that the VCO can achieve and reduces the overall
power consumption of the divider.
For example, a fixed divide-by-eight could be used in the feedback divider. Unfortunately, a divide-by-eight would limit the effective
modulus of the feedback divider path to multiples of eight. The limitation would restrict the ability of the PLL to achieve a desired input-
frequency-to-output frequency ratio without making both the reference and feedback divider values comparatively large. Large divider
moduli are generally undesirable due to increased phase jitter.

Data Sheet
To understand the operation, refer to Figure 3. The M-counter (with a modulus of M) is cascaded with the dual-modulus pre-scaler. If
the prescaler modulus were fixed at N, the overall modulus of the feedback divider chain would be MXN. However, the A-counter
causes the pre-scaler modulus to be altered to N+1 for the first A outputs of the pre-scaler. The A-counter then causes the dual-
modulus prescaler to revert to a modulus of N until the M-counter reaches its terminal state and resets the entire divider. The overall
modulus can be expressed as
A
(

where M
≥
A, which simplifies to

4.1.3 Feedback Divider Programming
The requirement that M
≥
A means that the feedback divider can only be programmed for certain values below a divider modulus of 56.
The selection of divider values is listed in Table 2.
If the desired feedback divider is less than 56, find the divider value in the table. Follow the column up to find the A-counter program
value. Follow the row to the left to find the M-counter value.
Above a modulus of 56, the feedback divider can be programmed to any value up to 16383. See both Table 3 and Table 8 for additional
programming information.

The post divider performs several useful functions. First, it allows the VCO to be operated in a narrower range of speeds compared to
the variety of output clock speeds that the device is required to generate. Second, it changes the basic PLL equation to

The extra integer in the denominator permits more flexibility in the programming of the loop for many applications where frequencies
must be achieved exactly.
Note that a nominal 50/50 duty factor is preserved for selections which have an odd modulus.
4.2 Phase Adjust and Sampling
In line-locked or genlocked applications, it is necessary to know the exact phase relation of the output clock relative to the input clock.
Since the VCO is included within the feedback loop in a simple PLL structure, the VCO output is exactly phase aligned with the input
clock. Every cycle of the input clock equals N

4.2.1 Clock Gobbler (Phase Adjust)
The clock gobbler circuit takes advantage of the unknown relationship between input and output clocks to permit the adjustment of the
CLKP/CLKN output clock phase relative to the REF input. The clock gobbler circuit removes a VCO clock pulse before the pulse clocks
the post divider. In this way, the phase of the output clock can be slipped until the output phase is aligned with the input clock phase.
To adjust the phase relationship, switch the feedback divider source to the post divider input via the FBKDSRC bit, and toggle the GBL
register bit. The clock gobbler output clock is delayed by one VCO clock period for each transition of the GBL bit from zero to one.
