Quad-Frequency Programmable
VCXO
General Description
The IDT8N4QV01 is a Quad-Frequency Programmable VCXO with
very flexible frequency and pull-range programming capabilities. The
device uses IDT’s fourth generation FemtoClock® NG technology for
an optimum of high clock frequency and low phase noise
performance. The device accepts 2.5V or 3.3V supply and is
packaged in a small, lead-free (RoHS 6) 10-lead ceramic 5mm x
7mm x 1.55mm package.
Besides the 4 default power-up frequencies set by the FSEL0 and
FSEL1 pins, the IDT8N4QV01 can be programmed via the I
2
C
interface to any output clock frequency between 15.476MHz to
866.67MHz and from 975MHz to 1,300MHz to a very high degree of
precision with a frequency step size of 435.9Hz ÷N (N is the PLL
output divider). Since the FSEL0 and FSEL1 pins are mapped to 4
independent PLL, P, M and N divider registers (P, MINT, MFRAC and
N), reprogramming those registers to other frequencies under
control of FSEL0 and FSEL1 is supported. The extended
temperature range supports wireless infrastructure, tele-
communication and networking end equipment requirements.

Principles of Operation
The block diagram consists of the internal 3
rd
overtone crystal and
oscillator which provide the reference clock f
XTAL
of either
114.285MHz or 100MHz. The PLL includes the FemtoClock NG VCO
along with the Pre-divider (P), the feedback divider (M) and the post
divider (N). The
P, M,
and
N
dividers determine the output frequency
based on the f
XTAL
reference and must be configured correctly for
proper operation. The feedback divider is fractional supporting a
huge number of output frequencies. The configuration of the
feedback divider to integer-only values results in an improved output
phase noise characteristics at the expense of the range of output
frequencies. In addition, internal registers are used to hold up to four
different factory pre-set
P, M,
and
N
configuration settings. These
default pre-sets are stored in the I
2
C registers at power-up. Each
configuration is selected via the FSEL[1:0] pins and can be read back
using the SCLK and SDATA pins.
The user may choose to operate the device at an output frequency
different than that set by the factory. After power-up, the user may
write new P, N and M settings into one or more of the four
configuration registers and then use the FSEL[1:0] pins to select the
newly programmed configuration. Note that the I
2
C registers are
volatile and a power supply cycle will reload the pre-set factory
default conditions.
If the user does choose to write a different
P, M,
and
N
configuration,
it is recommended to write to a configuration which is not currently
selected by FSEL[1:0] and then change to that configuration after the
I
2
C transaction has completed. Changing the FSEL[1:0] controls
results in an immediate change of the output frequency to the
selected register values. The
P, M,
and
N
frequency configurations
support an output frequency range 15.476MHz to 866.67MHz and
975MHz to 1,300MHz.
The devices use the fractional feedback divider with a delta-sigma
modulator for noise shaping and robust frequency synthesis
capability. The relatively high reference frequency minimizes phase
noise generated by frequency multiplication and allows more efficient
shaping of noise by the delta-sigma modulator.
The output frequency is determined by the 2-bit pre-divider (P), the
feedback divider (M) and the 7-bit post divider (N). The feedback
divider (M) consists of both a 7-bit integer portion (MINT) and an
18-bit fractional portion (MFRAC) and provides the means for
high-resolution frequency generation. The output frequency f
OUT
is
calculated by:

As identified previously, the configurations of

and
N
divider settings are stored the I
2
C register, and the
configuration loaded at power-up is determined by the FSEL[1:0]
pins.

Frequency Configuration
An order code is assigned to each frequency configuration
programmed by the factory (default frequencies). For more
information on the available default frequencies and order codes,
please see the Ordering Information Section in this document. For
available order codes, see the
FemtoClock NG Ceramic-Package XO
and VCXO Ordering Product Information
document.
For more information and guidelines on programming of the device
for custom frequency configurations, the register description, the
pull-range programming and the serial interface description, see the
FemtoClock NG Ceramic 5x7 Module Programming Guide.
The four configuration registers for the
P, M (MINT & MFRAC)
and
N
dividers which are named Pn, MINTn, MFRACn and Nn with n = 0 to
3. “n” denominates one of the four possible configurations.
