VCO calibration must be manually initiated. This allows for

flexibility in deciding what order to program registers and when

to initiate a calibration, instead of having it happen every time

certain PLL registers have their values change. For example, this

allows for the VCO frequency to be changed by small amounts

without having an automatic calibration occur each time; this

should be done with caution and only when the user knows that

the VCO control voltage is not going to exceed the nominal best

performance limits. For example, a few 100 kHz steps are fine, but

a few MHz might not be. In addition, because the calibration

procedure results in rapid changes in the VCO frequency, the

distribution section is automatically placed in SYNC until the

calibration is finished. Therefore, this temporary loss of outputs

must be expected.

A VCO calibration should be initiated under the following

conditions:

•

After changing any of the PLL R, P, B, and A divider

settings, or after a change in the PLL reference clock

frequency. This, in effect, means any time a PLL register

or reference clock is changed such that a different VCO

frequency results.

•

Whenever system calibration is desired. The VCO is designed

to operate properly over extremes of temperatures even when

it is first calibrated at the opposite extreme. However, a VCO

calibration can be initiated at any time, if desired.

CLOCK DISTRIBUTION

A clock channel consists of a pair (or double pair, in the case of

CMOS) of outputs that share a common divider. A clock output

consists of the drivers that connect to the output pins. The clock

outputs have either LVPECL or LVDS/CMOS signal levels at

the pins.

The AD9517 has four clock channels: two channels are LVPECL

(four outputs); two channels are LVDS/CMOS (up to four LVDS

outputs or up to eight CMOS outputs).

Each channel has its own programmable divider that divides

the clock frequency that is applied to its input. The LVPECL

channel dividers can divide by any integer from 2 to 32, or the

divider can be bypassed to achieve a divide by one. Each

LVDS/CMOS channel divider contains two of these divider

blocks in a cascaded configuration. The total division of the

channel is the product of the divide value of the cascaded dividers.

This allows divide values of (1 to 32) × (1 to 32), or up to 1024

(note that this is not all values from 1 to 1024 but only the set

of numbers that are the product of the two dividers).

If the user wishes to use the channel dividers, the VCO divider

must be used after the on-chip VCO. This is because the internal

VCO frequency is above the maximum channel divider input

frequency (1600 MHz). The VCO divider can be set to divide

by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. External clock signals connected to the CLK

input also require the VCO divider if the frequency of the signal

is greater than 1600 MHz.

The channel dividers allow for a selection of various duty cycles,

depending on the currently set division. That is, for any specific

division, D, the output of the divider can be set to high for

N + 1 input clock cycles and low for M + 1 input clock cycles

(where D = N + M + 2). For example, a divide-by-5 can be high

for one divider input cycle and low for four cycles, or a divide-

by-5 can be high for three divider input cycles and low for two

cycles. Other combinations are also possible.

The channel dividers include a duty-cycle correction function

that can be disabled. In contrast to the selectable duty cycle

just described, this function can correct a non-50% duty cycle

caused by an odd division. However, this requires that the

division be set by M = N + 1.

In addition, the channel dividers allow a coarse phase offset or

delay to be set. Depending on the division selected, the output

can be delayed by up to 31 input clock cycles. The divider

outputs can also be set to start high or start low.

Internal VCO or External CLK as Clock Source

The clock distribution of the AD9517 has two clock input

sources: an internal VCO or an external clock connected to the

CLK/CLK pins. Either the internal VCO or CLK must be

chosen as the source of the clock signal to distribute. When the

internal VCO is selected as the source, the VCO divider must be

used. When CLK is selected as the source, it is not necessary to

use the VCO divider if the CLK frequency is less than the

maximum channel divider input frequency (1600 MHz);

otherwise, the VCO divider must be used to reduce the

frequency to one acceptable by the channel dividers. Table 30

shows how the VCO, CLK, and VCO divider are selected.

determines whether the VCO divider is used. It is not possible

to select the VCO without using the VCO divider.

CLK or VCO Direct to LVPECL Outputs

It is possible to connect either the internal VCO or the CLK

(whichever is selected as the input to the VCO divider) directly

to the LVPECL outputs, OUT0 to OUT3. This configuration

can pass frequencies up to the maximum frequency of the VCO

directly to the LVPECL outputs. The LVPECL outputs may not

be able to provide a full voltage swing at the highest frequencies.
