DATASHEET
the auto reference elector always work in this mecha-
nism. The detail description of the reference selection
mode is in following sections.
The reference priority is indicated in the reference pri-
ority table which is shown in register Ref Priority
Table individually for each timing generator. Each ref-
erence has one entry in the table, which may be set to
value from 0 to 15. ‘0’ revokes the reference from the
election, while 1 to 15 set the priority, where ‘1’ has
the highest, and ‘15’ has the lowest priority. The high-
est priority pre-qualified reference then is a candidate
selected by the automatic reference elector. If multi-
ple references share the same priority, the one that
has been qualified for the longest time will be recom-
mended to be the candidate. If the current highest pri-
ority reference input fails, the next highest priority
reference is selected as the candidate.

Figure 4: Automatic Reference Elector States
In order to avoid disturbance of the clock output, the
candidate reference selected by automatic reference
elector should be handled in two different mode.
Revertive mode and non-revertive mode. The mode
is determined by either enabling or disabling the
“revertive” bit of the Control Mode to “1” for revertive
or to “0” for non-revertive operation.
In revertive mode, the automatic reference elector will
pre-empted the current candidate reference if the
new recommended candidate reference has higher
priority.
In non-revertive mode, the current candidate refer-
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.
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.
Figure 4 shows the operation states for automatic ref-
erence elector.
Hard-wired Manual Reference Selection
Besides the manual reference selection mode, the
STC5428 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-
