Figure 1. Typical Application with Design Equation
Step 1. Select Multiphase Mode, Setting M
By selecting the multiphase mode, a division parameter M
is also chosen:
2-Phase: Connect PH Pin to GND
3-Phase: Leave PH Open
4-Phase: Connect PH Pin to V+
M=1
M=3
M=4
Step 2. Choosing Programmable Divider Setting N
A. For applications using spread spectrum frequency
modulation (SSFM) or applications that are constant fre-
quency where low clock jitter is the primary specification:
DIVIDER SETTING
FREQUENCY RANGE (fOUT • M)
N=1
Connect DIV Pin to GND
2MHz to 20MHz
N = 10 Leave DIV Open
N = 100 Connect DIV Pin to V+
200kHz to 2MHz
< 200kHz
Note: The frequency range numbers are for a 5V supply where a 20MHz
output is the maximum frequency supported. For low supply applications
(2.7V ≤ V+ ≤ 4V), the maximum rated output frequency is 10MHz and all
of the above numbers should be halved.
B. For constant frequency applications where frequency
accuracy is the primary specification:
DIVIDER SETTING
FREQUENCY RANGE (fOUT • M)
N=1
Connect DIV Pin to GND
> 500kHz*
N = 10 Leave DIV Open
N = 100 Connect DIV Pin to V+
50kHz to 500kHz
< 50kHz
*The maximum frequency (fOUT • M) is 20MHz for 5V applications and is
10MHz for low supply applications (2.7V ≤ V+ ≤ 4V).
