Overview (continued)
9.1.10.2 Sysref Clock Divider
The SYSREF clocks, SDCLKoutY, all share a common divider. The divider supports a divide range of 8 to 8191
(even and odd).
9.1.10.3 Device Clock Delay
The device clocks include both a analog and digital delay for phase adjustment of the clock outputs.
The analog delay allows a nominal 25 ps step size and range from 0 to 575 ps of total delay. Enabling the analog
delay adds a nominal 500 ps of delay in addition to the programmed value.
The digital delay allows a group of outputs to be delayed from 4 to 32 VCO cycles. The delay step can be as
small as half the period of the clock distribution path. For example, 2 GHz VCO frequency results in 250 ps
coarse tuning steps. The coarse (digital) delay value takes effect on the clock outputs after a SYNC event.
There are 2 different ways to use the digital delay.
1. Fixed Digital Delay - Allows all the outputs to have a known phase relationship upon a SYNC event. Typically
performed at startup.
2. Dynamic Digital Delay - Allows the phase relationships of clocks to change while clocks continue to operate.
9.1.10.4 SYSREF Delay
The global SYSREF divider includes a digital delay block which allows a global phase shift with respect to the
other clocks.
Each local SYSREF clock output includes both an analog and additional local digital delay for unique phase
adjustment of each SYSREF clock.
The local analog delay allows for 150 ps steps.
The local digital delay and SYSREF_HS bit allows the each individual SYSREF output to be delayed from, 1.5 to
11 VCO cycles. The delay step can be as small as half the period of the clock distribution path by using the
DCLKoutX_HS bit. For example, 2 GHz VCO frequency results in 250 ps coarse tuning steps.
9.1.10.5 Glitchless Half Step and Glitchless Analog Delay
The device clocks include a features to ensure glitchless operation of the half step and analog delay operations
when enabled.
9.1.10.6 Programmable Output Formats
For increased flexibility all LMK0482x family device and SYSREF clock outputs, DCLKoutX and SDCLKoutY, can
be programmed to an LVDS, HSDS, LVPECL, or LCPECL output type. The OSCout can be programmed to an
LVDS, LVPECL, or LVCMOS output type.
Any LVPECL output type can be programmed to 1600, or 2000 mVpp amplitude levels. The 2000 mVpp LVPECL
output type is a Texas Instruments proprietary configuration that produces a 2000 mVpp differential swing for
compatibility with many data converters and is also known as 2VPECL.
LCPECL allows for DC coupling SYSREF to low voltage converters.
9.1.10.7 Clock Output Synchronization
Using the SYNC input causes all active clock outputs to share a rising edge as programmed by fixed digital
delay.
The SYNC event must occur for digital delay values to take effect.
