ESCRIPTION
The M2006-12A is a VCSO (Voltage Controlled SAW
Oscillator) based clock generator
PLL designed for clock frequency
translation and jitter attenuation.
Clock multiplication ratios (including
forward and inverse FEC) are
pin-selected from pre-programming
look-up tables. Includes Hitless
Switching and Phase Build-out to
enable SONET (GR-253) / SDH (G.813) MTIE and
TDEV compliance during reference clock reselection.
Hitless Switching (HS) engages when a 4ns or greater
clock phase change is detected.
This phase-change triggered implementation of HS is
not recommended when using an unstable reference
(more than 1ns jitter pk-to-pk) or when the resulting
phase detector frequency is less than 5MHz.

ESCRIPTION
The M2006-12A is a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) based
clock generator that generates output clocks synchro-
nized to one of two selectable input reference clocks.
An internal high "Q" SAW filter provides low jitter signal
performance and controls the output frequency of the
VCSO (Voltage Controlled SAW Oscillator).
Configurable FEC feedback and reference dividers (the
“Mfec Divider” and “Rfec Divider”) provide the
multiplication ratios necessary to accomodate clock
translation for both forward and inverse Forward Error
Correction.
In addition, a configurable feedback divider (labeled
“Mfin Divider”) provides the broader division options
needed to accomodate various reference clock
frequencies.
For example, the
M2006-12A-622.0800
(see “Ordering
Information”

The inverse FEC PLL ratios (at top of Table 5) enable
the
M2006-12A-622.0800
to accept “base” input reference
frequencies of:
663.7255
,
666.5143
,
669.3266
,
672.1627
, and
622.08
MHz.
The Mfin feedback divider enables the actual input
reference clock to be the “base” input frequency
divided by
1
,
4
,
8
, or
32
. Therefore, for the base input
frequency of
622.08
MHz, the actual input reference
clock frequencies can be:
622.08
,
155.52
,
77.76
, and
19.44
MHz. (See Table 4 on pg. 3.)
Table 5: FEC PLL Ratio Dividers Look-up Table (LUT)
Note 1: The phase detector frequency (Fpd, which is calculated as
Fref/Rfec) should be above 1.5 MHz to prevent spurs on the
output clock. To ensure the PLL remains locked when using a
recovered clock (such as in loop timing mode), the phase
detector frequency should ideally be about 20MHz, or at least
less than 50 MHz.
Note 2: These table selections use the same or similar Mfec divider
values as the complementary selections noted. This allows the
use of the same loop filter component values and yields the
same PLL loop bandwidth and damping factor values for
complementary selections. Complementary selections can be
actively switched in a given application.
Note 3: In non-FEC applications, these settings can be used to
optimize phase detector frequency or to actively change PLL
loop bandwidth.

The PLL
The PLL uses a phase detector and configurable
dividers to synchronize the output of the VCSO with
selected reference clock.
The “Mfin Divider” and “Mfec Divider” divide the VCSO
frequency, feeding the result into the phase detector.
The selected input reference clock is divided by the
“Rfec Divider”. The result is fed into the other input of
the phase detector.
The phase detector compares its two inputs. It then
outputs pulses to the loop filter as needed to increase or
decrease the VCSO frequency and thereby match and
lock the divider output’s frequency and phase to those
of the input reference clock.
Due to the narrow tuning range of the VCSO
(+200ppm), appropriate selection of all of the following
are required for the PLL be able to lock: VCSO center
frequency, input frequency, and divider selections.
See also “Maintaining PLL Lock:” on pg. 4.

An out-of-lock condition due to an inappropriate
configuration will typically result in the VCSO
operating at its lower or upper frequency rail,
which is approximately 200ppm above or below
the nominal VCSO center frequency.
See also
“Hitless Switching (HS)”
(next) for an
additional issue with regard to phase locking.
Hitless Switching (HS)
The M2006-12A includes a proprietary Hitless
Switching (HS) feature that prevents an excessive
phase transient of the output clocks upon input
reference rearrangement. Upon the occurance of an
input reference phase change, or phase transient, PLL
bandwidth is lowered by the HS function. This limits the
rate of phase change in the output clocks. With proper
configuration of the external loop filter, the output clocks
will comply with MTIE (maximum time interval error)
specifications for GR-253 (SONET) and ITU G.813
(SDH) during input reference clock change, depending
on the magnitude of the resulting phase change.
The HS function uses a phase error detector at the
phase detector to detect a clock phase change. During
normal operation with a stable reference clock, the PLL
will be frequency locked and phase locked, resulting in
very little error at the phase detector (<1 ns). Upon the
selection of a new input reference clock at a different
clock phase, a phase error will occur at the phase
detector. The HS function is triggered with a phase error
greater than 4 ns, upon which a narrow PLL bandwidth
is applied. When the PLL locks to within 2 ns error at the
phase detector, wide bandwidth (normal) operation is
resumed.
The HS function is not suitable for situations in which an
unstable reference is used. Under normal conditions
the reference clock jitter should not induce phase jitter
at the phase detector beyond 2 ns. (This includes when
subjecting the system to jitter tolerance compliance
testing.) Because of this, the M2006-12A is not
recommended for use with some Stratum DPLL clock
sources, or with unstable recovered network clocks
intended for loop timing configuration. It is also not
recommended for complex FEC ratios where the phase
detector is operated at less 1 MHz. For these
applications the
M2006-02A
is suggested. The
M2006-02A is identical to the M2006-12A except that it
does not include the HS function (nor the APC pin and
phase build-out function, which are discussed in the
following section).
Relationship Among Frequencies and Dividers
The VCSO center frequency must be specified at time
of order. The relationship between the VCSO (Fvcso)
frequency, the Mfin divider, the Mfec divider, the Rfec
divider, and the input reference frequency (Fin) is:

As an example, for the

these corresponding input reference frequencies:

Table 7: Example FEC PLL Rations and Input Reference Frequencies
Note 1: Input reference clock (“Fin”) can be the base frequency
shown divided by “Mfin” (as shown in Table 4 on pg. 3).
Maintaining PLL Lock:
The narrow tuning range of the VCSO requires that the
input reference frequency must remain suitable for the
current look-up table selection. For example, when
switching between “Inverse FEC ratio” and “Non-FEC
ratio” look-up table selections (see Table 5 on pg. 3), the
input reference frequency must change accordingly in
order for the PLL to lock.

Automatic Phase Compensation (APC) Pin
The M2006-12A also includes a phase build-out
function that can be selectively enabled by asserting the
APC input (pin
25
) to logic
1
. The phase build-out
function works in conjunction with the HS function.
When the APC pin is asserted, the phase build-out
function enables the PLL to absorb most of the phase
change of the input clock which reduces re-lock time
and the generation of wander. (Wander is created in this
case by the generation of extra output clock cycles.)
When the APC pin is asserted, the phase build-out
function is triggered by same >4 ns phase transient (at
the phase detector) that triggers the HS function. Once
triggered, a new VCSO clock edge is selected for the
phase comparator feedback input. (The clock edge
selected is the one closest in phase to the new input
clock phase.) The residual phase detector phase error
following reselection is approximately 3-to-4 ns. The
narrow bandwidth selected by HS minimizes VCSO
drifting and switch transients during the process.
It is recommended that the APC pin remain low when
the phase detector frequency is less than 4 MHz.
Otherwise, the M2006-12A may have difficulty locking
to reference upon power-up.
Outputs
The M2006-12A provides a total of two differential
LVPECL output pairs:
FOUT1
and
FOUT0.
Because each
output pair has its own P divider, the
FOUT1
pair and the
FOUT0
can output the two different frequencies at the
same time. For example,
FOUT1
can output
155.52
MHz
while
FOUT0
outputs
622.08
MHz.
Any unused output should be left unconnected
(floating) in the system application. This will
minimize output switching current and therefore
minimize noise modulation of the VCSO.
