Programmable Line Lock Clock Generator IC
The goal is to choose the highest crystal frequency from
Table 10 that generates the smallest value of NR.
The equation establishing the output frequency (fCLK) as a
function of the input VCXO frequency is
f CLK = N F
fVCXO N R
(Eqn. 1)
where NF is the Feedback Divider modulus.
Choose a few different crystal frequencies from Table 10
and factor both the input VCXO and output clock fre-
quencies into prime numbers. Look for the factors that
will give the smallest modulus for NR with the largest
FVCXO. The output and VCXO frequencies and the re-
duced factors from Eqn. 1 are in Table 25.

A 19.44MHz crystal provides the smallest modulus for NR
(NR=3) with the highest crystal frequency.
Finally, choose a Post Divider (NPx) modulus that keeps
the VCO frequency in its most comfortable range. The
VCO frequency (fVCO) can be calculated by
fVCO = f CLK N Px
Selecting an overall modulus of NPx=3 sets the VCO fre-
quency at 155.52MHz when the loop is locked.
15.2 Example Programming
To generate a de-jittered output frequency of 51.84MHz
from an 8kHz reference, program the following (refer to
Figure 33):
• Program the VCXO Control ROM to 3 via
XLROM[2:0] to select an external 19.44MHz crystal
• Enable the VCXO fine tune via XLVTEN=1
• Enable the Crystal Loop PFD via XLPDEN=0 and
XLSWAP=0
• Set the Reference Divider input to select the VCXO
via REFDSRC
• Set the PFD input to select the Reference Divider
and the Feedback Divider via PDREF and PDFBK
• Set the Reference Divider (NR) to a modulus of 3 via
REFDIV[11:0]
• Set the Feedback Divider input to select the VCO via
FBKDSRC
• Set the Feedback Divider (NF) to a modulus of 8 via
FBKDIV[14:0]
• Set NP1=1, NP2=3, and NP3=1 for a combined Post
Divider modulus of NPx=3 via POST1[1:0],
POST2[1:0], and POST3[1:0].
• Select the internal loop filter via EXTLF
• Set VCOSPD=0 to select the VCO high speed range
These settings provide the highest frequency at the Main
Loop Phase Frequency Detector of 6.48MHz. The use of
a 19.44MHz crystal requires that XLROM[2:0] be set to
three as shown in Table 10.
