ence will not be pre-empted by any new candidate
until it is disqualified.
If there is no candidate reference available, freerun or
holdover will be recommended by the automatic ref-
erence elector depending on the holdover history
availability.
Figure 4 shows the operation states for automatic ref-
erence elector.
Hard-wired Manual Reference Selection
Besides the manuaFl urenfecretinocneasleSlepcteiocnifimcoadteio, nthe
STC5420 provides a special mode to switch between
two pre-selected reference directly from a dedicated
pin SRCSW. The two pre-selected references are
configured at the register Hard Wired Switch Pre
Selection. It can make the device enter the freerun or
holdover by writing to the register Hard Wired Switch
Pre Selection. In this mode, the pin SRCSW oper-
ates as a simple switch by setting high or low. Hard-
wired Manual Reference Selection is for T0 only.

Clock Outputs Details
The STC5420 generates 2 synchronized differential
(LVPECL or LVDS) clock outputs: CLK1 and CLK2; 6
LVCMOS clock outputs: CLK3~CLK8; frame pulse
clock outputs CLK8K and CLK2K. Figure 5, Figure 6,
and Figure 7 respectively shows the clock output sec-
tion for CLK1/CLK2, CLK8K/CLK2K, and
CLK3~CLK8. Each output has individual clock output
section consist of a synthesizer and a clock genera-
tor. Clock generator of CLK1 or CLK2 has a LVPECL/
LVDS driver to produce differential output. Each gen-
erator of CLK3~CLK8 includes two muxes and a LVC-
MOS signal driver. Generator of frame output CLK8K
and CLK2K consist of a LVCMOS driver.
Figure 4: Automatic Reference Elector States
Automatic Reference Selection
The T0 and T4 timing generators may be individually
operated automatic reference input selection mode.
The mode is selected via the Control Mode registers.
In automatic reference selection mode, the selected
reference is the same reference elected by the auto-
matic reference elector. The automatically selected
reference for each PLL may be read from the Auto
Elect Ref registers.
Manual Reference Selection Mode
In manual reference selection mode, the user may
select the reference manually. This mode is selected
via the Control Mode registers. The reference is
selected by writing to the Manual Select Ref regis-
ters. The user may also has the device enter freerun
or holdover manually by writing to the Manual Select
Ref registers. Besides, T4 may select T0’s output as
the selected reference.
Clock Synthesizers
The STC5420 has 10 clock synthesizers, which of 9
is disciplined by the timing generator T0: synthesizer
G1~G8 and one frame pulse clock synthesizer F; T4
disciplines a clock synthesizer GT4. Clock synthesiz-
ers G1~G8 produce frequencies from 1MHz to
156.25MHz, in 1kHz steps. Phase skew of these syn-
thesizers are all programmable individually up and
down 50ns at the register Synth Index Select and
Synth Skew Adj. CLK1 and CLK2 are derived from
synthesizer G1 and G2. CLK3 ~ CLK8 can be derived
from synthesizer G3~G8, also can be derived from
synthesizer F or from synthesizer GT4 respectively.
Synthesizer F produces frame pulse clock Frame8K,
Frame2K, and a proprietary composite signal. Syn-
thesizer F has two independent duty cycle controller
for Frame8K and Frame2K which can program pulse
width at the register Frame8K Sel and Frame2K Sel.
Proprietary composite signal is a 3.3V LVCMOS data
signal carries 8kHz clock, 2kHz frame, and the
selected reference information.
