LB
Loop bandwidth. Specify loop bandwidth settings. Jitter on the reference clock will
degrade both the transmit eye and receiver jitter tolerance thereby impairing system
performance. Performance of the integrated PLL can be optimized according to the
jitter characteristics of the reference clock via the LB field.
00b
Frequency dependent bandwidth. The PLL bandwidth is set to a twelfth of the
frequency of RIOCLK/RIOCLK. This setting is suitable for most systems that input the
reference clock via a low jitter input cell, and is required for standards compliance
01b
Reserved
10b
Low bandwidth. The PLL bandwidth is set to a twentieth of the frequency of
RIOCLK/RIOCLK, or 3MHz (whichever is larger). In systems where the reference
clock is directly input via a low jitter input cell, but is of lower quality, this setting may
offer better performance. It will reduce the amount of reference clock jitter transferred
through the PLL. However, it also increases the susceptibility to loop noise generated
within the PLL itself. It is difficult to predict whether the improvement in the former will
more than offset the degradation in the latter.
11b
High bandwidth. The PLL bandwidth is set to a eighth of the frequency of
RIOCLK/RIOCLK. This is the setting appropriate for systems where the reference
clock is cleaned through an ultra low jitter LC-based PLL. Standards compliance will
be achieved even if the reference clock input to the cleaner PLL is outside the
specification for the standard.

Based on the MPY value, the line rate versus PLL output clock frequency can be calculated. This is
summarized in
