SNAS605AR – MARCH 2013 – REVISED DECEMBER 2015
Overview (continued)
The VCXO/Crystal buffered output can be synchronized to the VCO clock distribution outputs by using Cascaded
0-Delay Mode. The buffered output of VCXO/Crystal has deterministic phase relationship with CLKin.
9.1.5 Frequency Holdover
The LMK0482x family supports holdover operation to keep the clock outputs on frequency with minimum drift
when the reference is lost until a valid reference clock signal is re-established.
9.1.6 PLL2 Integrated Loop Filter Poles
The LMK0482x family features programmable 3rd and 4th order loop filter poles for PLL2. These internal
resistors and capacitor values may be selected from a fixed range of values to achieve either a 3rd or 4th order
loop filter response. The integrated programmable resistors and capacitors compliment external components
mounted near the chip.
These integrated components can be effectively disabled by programming the integrated resistors and capacitors
to their minimum values.
9.1.7 Internal VCOs
The LMK0482x family has two internal VCOs, selected by VCO_MUX. The output of the selected VCO is routed
to the Clock Distribution Path. This same selection is also fed back to the PLL2 phase detector through a
prescaler and N-divider.
9.1.8 VCO1 Divider (LMK04821 only)
The LMK04821 includes a VCO divider on the output of VCO1. The VCO1 divider can be programmed from 2 to
8.
When using a VCO1 frequency of 2949.12 MHz and a divide of 8, frequencies as low as 11.52 MHz can be
achieved. Using the VCO1_DIV will limit maximum output frequency from any output to VCO1 frequency divided
by VCO1_DIV value.
When using VCO1, the output frequency from the VCO1_DIV will define digital delay resolution.
The VCO1_DIV divider also impacts the total N divide value for PLL2 when VCO1 is selected, this should be
accounted for when selecting PLL2_N value.
9.1.9 External VCO Mode
The Fin/Fin* input allows an external VCO to be used with PLL2 of the LMK0482x family.
Using an external VCO reduces the number of available clock inputs by one.
9.1.10 Clock Distribution
The LMK0482x family features a total of 14 PLL2 clock outputs driven from the internal or external VCO.
All PLL2 clock outputs have programmable output types. They can be programmed to LVPECL, LVDS, or HSDS,
or LCPECL.
If OSCout is included in the total number of clock outputs the LMK0482x family is able to distribute, then up to 15
differential clocks. OSCout may be a buffered version of OSCin, DCLKout6, DCLKout8, or SYSREF.
The following sections discuss specific features of the clock distribution channels that allow the user to control
various aspects of the output clocks.
9.1.10.1 Device Clock Divider
Each device clock, DCLKoutX, has a single clock output divider. The divider supports a divide range of 1 to 32
(even and odd) with 50% output duty cycle using duty cycle correction mode. The output of this divider may also
be directed to SDCLKoutY, where Y = X + 1.
