MC12439
The MC12439 is a general purpose synthesized clock source targeting
applications that require both serial and parallel interfaces. Its internal
VCO will operate over a range of frequencies from 400 to 800MHz. The
differential PECL output can be configured to be the VCO frequency
divided by 1, 2, 4, or 8. With the output configured to divide the VCO
frequency by 1, and with a 16.66MHz external quartz crystal used to
provide the reference frequency, the output frequency can be specified in
16.66MHz steps.

Functional Description
The internal oscillator uses the external quartz crystal as the basis of its frequency reference. The output of the reference
oscillator is sent directly to the phase detector. With a 16.66MHz crystal, this provides a reference frequency of 16.66MHz.
Although this data sheet illustrates functionality only for a 16MHz and 16.66MHz crystal, any crystal in the 10–20MHz range can
be used. In addition to the crystal, an LVCMOS input can also be used as the PLL reference. The reference is selected via the
XTAL_SEL input pin.
The VCO within the PLL operates over a range of 400 to 800MHz. Its output is scaled by a divider that is configured by either
the serial or parallel interfaces. The output of this loop divider is also applied to the phase detector.
The phase detector and loop filter attempt to force the VCO output frequency 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 loop lock.
The output of the VCO is also passed through an output divider before being sent to the PECL output driver. This output divider
is configured through either the serial or the parallel interfaces, and can provide one of four division ratios (1, 2, 4, or 8). This
divider extends performance of the part while providing a 50% duty cycle.
The output driver is driven differentially from the output divider, and is capable of driving a pair of transmission lines terminated
in 50Ω to VCC – 2.0.
The configuration logic has two sections: serial and parallel. The parallel interface uses the values at the M[6:0] and N[1:0]
inputs to configure the internal counters. Normally, on system reset, the P_LOAD input is held LOW until sometime after power
becomes valid. On the LOW–to–HIGH transition of P_LOAD, the parallel inputs are captured. The parallel interface has priority
over the serial interface. Internal pullup resistors are provided on the M[6:0] and N[1:0] inputs to reduce component count in the
application of the chip.
The serial interface centers on a twelve bit shift register. The shift register shifts once per rising edge of the S_CLOCK input.
The serial input S_DATA must meet setup and hold timing as specified in the AC Characteristics section of this document. The
configuration latches will capture the value of the shift register on the HIGH–to–LOW edge of the S_LOAD input. See the
programming section for more information.
The TEST output reflects various internal node values, and is controlled by the T[2:0] bits in the serial data stream. See the
programming section for more information.
The PWR_DOWN pin, when asserted, will synchronously divide the FOUT by 16. The power down sequence is clocked by the
PLL reference clock, thereby causing the frequency reduction to happen relatively slowly. Upon de–assertion of the
PWR_DOWN pin, the FOUT input will step back up to its programmed frequency in four discrete increments.
