DATASHEET
HHA bit
This bit indicates the availability of the device hold-
over history or the user-specified history (1=available,
0=unavailable), depending on which of history is pro-
grammed at the register Control Mode. If the device
holdover history is programmed, The HHA bit is set to
“1” whenever the device holdover history is being
updated by the long-term history. The HHA bit stays
at “1” and the value of the device holdover history
freezes at the latest value if reference is switched,
LOS/LOL occurs, entering freerun/holdover mode, or
the long-term history is flushed alone by writing “0” to
the register Holdover Accu Flush. The HHA bit is
set to “0” (unavailable) when the device holdover his-
tory is flushed by writing “1” to the register Holdover
Accu Flush. If the user-specified history is pro-
grammed, the HHA bit is always set at “1”.
Briefly, when no reference input is selected or the
selected reference input is invalid during in automatic
reference selection mode, HHA bit at “1” implies the
STC5428 is entering holdover mode with a holdover
history; HHA bit at “0” implies the STC5428 is enter-
ing freerun mode instead of holdover mode.
Reference Inputs Details
The STC5428 accepts 12 external reference inputs.
The reference inputs may be selected to accept either
the auto-detect acceptable reference frequency which
can be automatically detected by STC5428 or manu-
ally acceptable reference frequency. Reference
inputs REF11 and REF12 are LVPECL/LVDS and the
remaining ten are LVCMOS. Signal polarity of REF11
and REF12 is reversible at the register Diff Ref
Polarity. All 12 reference inputs are monitored contin-
uously for frequency, activity and quality. Each timing
generator may select any of the reference inputs
when the device is in external timing mode. T4 may
accept T0’s output as its input via internal feedback
path.
Acceptable Frequency and Frequency Offset
Detection
The STC5428 can automatically detect the frequency
of the reference input when the user enable the auto-
detection function at the register Ref Index Selector
and Ref Acceptable Freq. The acceptable auto-
detect frequencies are: 8kHz, 64kHz, 1.544MHz,
2.048MHz, 19.44MHz, 38.88MHz, 77.76MHz,
6.48MHz, 8.192MHz, 16.384MHz, 25MHz, 50MHz or
125MHz. These frequencies can be automatic
detected continuously in the detector. Any carrier fre-
quency change willFbuendcetiteocnteadl Swpitheincif1imcas.tioEanch
input is also monitored for frequency offset between
input and the internal freerun clock. The frequency
offset is a key factor to determine qualification of the
reference inputs. See register Ref Index Selector
and Ref Info.
STC5428 provides another option which allows the
user to select the manually acceptable reference fre-
quency for all the reference inputs, at the integer mul-
tiple of 8kHz (Nx8kHz, N is integer from 1 to 32767).
Hence the manually acceptable reference frequency
range is integer multiple of 8kHz from 8kHz to
262.136MHz. When a manually acceptable reference
frequency is used, the user need to access the regis-
ter Ref Acceptable Freq to set the integer N for the
reference input which is selected at the register Ref
Index Selector. Each input is monitored for fre-
quency offset between input and the internal freerun
clock. The frequency offset is shown in the register
Ref Info when associate reference index is selected
at the register Ref Index Selector.
Activity Monitoring
Activity monitoring is also a continuous process which
is used to identify if the reference input is in normal. It
is accomplished with a leaky bucket accumulation
algorithm, as shown in Figure 2. The “leaky bucket”
accumulator has a fill observation window that may
be set from 1 to 16ms, where any hit of signal abnor-
mality (or multiple hits) during the window increments
the bucket count by one. The leak observation win-
dow is 1 to 16 times the fill observation window. The
leaky bucket accumulator decrements by one for
each leak observation window that passes with no
signal abnormality. Both windows operate in a con-
secutive, non-overlapping manner. The bucket accu-
mulator has alarm assert and alarm de-assert
thresholds that can each be programmed from 1 to
64.
