ESCRIPTION
The M902-01 is a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) based
clock generator that uses an
internal VCSO (Voltage Controlled
SAW Oscillator) to produce a very
low jitter output clock. It is ideal for
Gigabit Ethernet. The output clock
(frequency of
156.25
or
187.50
MHz
for example) is provided from two
LVPECL clock output pairs. (Specify frequency at time
of order.) The accuracy of the output frequency is
assured by the internal PLL, which phase-locks the
internal VCSO to the reference input frequency (
25
or
30
MHz for example). The input reference can either
be an external crystal, utilizing the internal crystal
oscillator, or a stable external clock source such as
a packaged crystal oscillator.

Product Data Sheet
The PLL
The PLL (Phase Locked Loop) includes the phase
detector, the VCSO, a feedback divider (labeled
“M Divider”), and a reference divider (“R Divider”).
The feedback divider divides the VCSO output
frequency by a fixed value “M” to match the reference
frequency provided to the phase detector by the
reference divider.
By controlling the frequency and phase of the VCSO,
the phase detector precisely locks the frequency and
phase of the feedback divider output to that of the
reference divider output.
The relationship between the VCSO output frequency,
the M Divider, the R Divider and the input reference
frequency is defined as follows:

ESCRIPTION
The M902-01 is a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) based
clock generator that generates output clocks
synchronized to an input reference clock.
The M902-01 combines the flexibility of a VCSO
(Voltage Controlled SAW Oscillator) with the stability of
a crystal oscillator.
Input Reference
The input reference can either be an external, discrete
crystal or a stable external clock source such as a
packaged (temperature-compensated) crystal
oscillator.
•
If an external crystal is used with the on-chip crystal
oscillator circuit (XTAL OSC), the external crystal
should be a parallel-resonant, fundamental mode
crystal. Apply it to the
XTAL_1 / REF_IN
and
XTAL_2
input
pins. External crystal load trim capacitors are also
required. (See “Crystal Specifications” on pg. 4.)
•
If an external LVCMOS/LVTTL clock source is used,
apply it to the
XTAL_1 / REF_IN
input pin.
In either case, the reference clock is supplied to the
phase detector of the PLL. The M902-01 includes a
reference divider that divides the input reference
frequency by a fixed value “R” and provides the result to
the phase detector.
The
EX_CLK
pin is available for a clock feed-through
mode for testing. See “External Clock Feed-through”
on pg. 3.

External Clock Feed-through
The
EXT_CLK
pin provides an input for an external
single-ended clock that directly drives the LVPECL
clock outputs. This pin is intended for system debugging
and performance evaluation..
EN_EXT_CLK

Note 1: In applications where EXT_CLK is active while the SAW PLL
signal path is enabled, it is necessary to gate the EXT_CLK to
minimize jitter in the LVPECL output pairs. See the
PCB Design

www.icst.com/products/appnotes/M000-AN-001.PCBdesign.pdf

The loop filter is implemented as a differential circuit
to minimize system noise interference. Due to the
differential signal path design, the implementation
requires two identical complementary RC filters as

Note 1: Optimum loop bandwidth when using an external reference
crystal. Will help to attenuate interference on the crystal’s
sinusoidal clock waveform and therefore will minimize
device output clock jitter.
Note 2: Alternative loop filter setting when using an external refer-
ence crystal. Smaller C loop lowers loop damping factor with
negligible increase in output jitter.
Note 3: Optimum loop bandwidth when using an external reference
crystal oscillator. The square wave clock reference does not
require as much jitter attenuation, which allows for a wider
loop bandwidth and improved system noise tolerance.
