20%. This feature is useful when clock sources can originate from multiple cards
on the backplane, requiring a system-controlled switchover between frequencies
of operation. Choose the secondary clock frequency so the VCO operates in the
recommended frequency range. Also, set the M
,
N
,
and
C counters accordingly to
keep the VCO operating frequency in the recommended range.
shows a waveform example of the switchover feature when using
automatic loss of clock detection. Here, the
inclk0
signal remains low. After the
inclk0
signal remains low for approximately two clock cycles, the clock-sense
circuitry drives the
clkbad0
signal high. Also, because the reference clock signal is not
toggling, the switchover state machine controls the multiplexer through the
clksw
signal to switch to
inclk1
.
Manual Override
If you are using the automatic switchover, you must switch input clocks with the
manual override feature with the
clkswitch
input.
shows an example of a waveform illustrating the switchover feature
when controlled by
clkswitch
. In this case, both clock sources are functional and
inclk0
is selected as the reference clock. A low-to-high transition of the
clkswitch
signal starts the switchover sequence. The
clkswitch
signal must be high for at least
three clock cycles (at least three of the longer clock period if
inclk0
and
inclk1
have
different frequencies). On the falling edge of
inclk0
, the reference clock of the counter,
muxout
, is gated off to prevent any clock glitching. On the falling edge of
inclk1
, the
reference clock multiplexer switches from
inclk0
to
inclk1
as the PLL reference, and
the
activeclock
signal changes to indicate which clock is currently feeding the PLL.
