LVPECL FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The functional description that follows describes op-
eration using a 25MHz crystal. Valid PLL loop divider values
for different crystal or input frequencies are defined in the In-
put Frequency Characteristics, Table 5, NOTE 1.
The ICS84320I-01 features a fully integrated PLL and there-
fore requires no external components for setting the loop band-
width. A fundamental crystal is used as the input to the on-
chip oscillator. The output of the oscillator is fed into the phase
detector. A 25MHz crystal provides a 25MHz phase detector
reference frequency. The VCO of the PLL operates over a
range of 620MHz to 780MHz. The output of the M divider is
also applied to the phase detector.
The phase detector and the M divider force the VCO output fre-
quency to be M times the reference frequency by adjusting the
VCO control voltage. Note that for some values of M (either too
high or too low), the PLL will not achieve lock. The output of the
VCO is scaled by a divider prior to being sent to each of the LVPECL
output buffers. The divider provides a 50% output duty cycle.
The programmable features of the ICS84320I-01 support two
input modes to program the M divider and N output divider. The
two input operational modes are parallel and serial. Figure 1 shows
the timing diagram for each mode. In parallel mode, the nP_LOAD
input is initially LOW. The data on inputs M0 through M8 and N0
and N1 is passed directly to the M divider and N output divider.
On the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the nP_LOAD input, the data
is latched and the M divider remains loaded until the next
LOW transition on nP_LOAD or until a serial event occurs. As a
result, the M and N bits can be hardwired to set the M divider
and N output divider to a specific default state that will auto-
matically occur during power-up.The TEST output is LOW when
operating in the parallel input mode. The relation-ship between
the VCO frequency, the crystal frequency and the M divider is
defined as follows:
fVCO = fxtal x M
The M value and the required values of M0 through M8 are
shown in Table 3B to program the VCO Frequency Function
Table. Valid M values for which the PLL will achieve lock for a
25MHz reference are defined as 25 ≤ M ≤ 31. The frequency
out is defined as follows:
FOUT = fVCO = fxtal x M

Serial operation occurs when nP_LOAD is HIGH and S_LOAD
is LOW. The shift register is loaded by sampling the S_DATA
bits with the rising edge of S_CLOCK. The contents of the
shift register are loaded into the M divider and N output di-
vider when S_LOAD transitions from LOW-to-HIGH. The M
divide and N output divide values are latched on the HIGH-to-
LOW transition of S_LOAD. If S_LOAD is held HIGH, data at
the S_DATA input is passed directly to the M divider and N
output divider on each rising edge of S_CLOCK. The serial
mode can be used to program the M and N bits and test bits
T1 and T0. The internal registers T0 and T1 determine the state
of the TEST output as follows:
