Device Configuration and Simulation
The tools automatically configure the simulation to meet the input and output frequency requirements given and
make assumptions about other parameters to give some default simulations. However the user may chose to
make adjustments for more accurate simulations to their application. For example:
•
Entering the VCO Gain of the external VCXO or possible external VCO used device.
•
Adjust the charge pump current to help with loop filter component selection. Lower charge pump currents
result in smaller components but may increase impacts of leakage and at the lowest values reduce PLL
phase nosie performance.
•
Clock Design Tool allows loading a custom phase noise plot for any block. Typically, a custom phase noise
plot is entered for CLKin to match the reference phase noise to device; a phase noise plot for the VCXO can
additionally be provided to match the performance of VCXO used. For improved accuracy in simulation and
optimum loop filter design, be sure to load these custom noise profiles for use in application.
•
The design tools return with high reference/phase detector frequencies by default. In the Clock Design Tool
the user may increase the reference divider to reduce the frequency if desired. Due to the narrow loop
bandwidth used on PLL1, it is common to reduce the phase detector frequency on PLL1.
10.2.3.2.3
Device Programming
Using the clock design tools configuration the CodeLoader software is manually updated with this information to
meet the required application. Note for the JESD204B outputs place device clocks on the DCLKoutX output, then
turn on the paired SDCLKoutY output for SYSREF output. For Non-JESD204B outputs both DCLKoutX and
paired SDCLKoutY may be driven by the device clock divider to maximize number of available outputs.
Frequency planning for assignment of outputs:
•
To minimize crosstalk perform frequency planning / CLKout assignments to keep common frequencies on
outputs close together.
•
It is best to place common device clock output frequencies on outputs sharing the same Vcc group. For
example, these outputs share Vcc4_CG2. Refer to
Pin Configuration and Functions
to see the Vcc groupings
the clock outputs.
In this example, the 245.76 MHz ADC output needs the best performance. DCLKout2 on the LMK0482x provides
the best noise floor / performance. The 245.76 MHz will be placed on DCLKout2 with 10.24 MHz SYSREF on
SDCLKout3.
•
For best performance the input and output drive level bits may be set. Best noise floor performance is
achieved with DCLKout2_IDL = 1 and DCLKout2_ODL = 1.
In this example, the 983.04 MHz DAC output is placed on DCLKout4 and DCLKout6 with 10.24 MHz SYSREF on
paired SDCLKout5 and SDCLKout7 outputs.
•
These outputs share Vcc4_CG2.
In this example, the 122.88 MHz FPGA JESD204B output is placed on DCLKout10 with 10.24 MHz SYSREF on
paired SDCLKout11 output.
Additonally, the 122.88 MHz FPGA non-JESD204B outputs are placed on DCLKout8 and SDCLKout9.
•
When frequency planning, consider PLL2 as a clock output at the phase detector frequency. As such, these
122.88 MHz outputs have been placed on the outputs close to the PLL2 & Charge Pump power supplies.
Once the device programming is completed as desired in the CodeLoader software, it is possible to export the
register settings from the Register tab for use in application.
