Clock Generation Function
An internal phase-locked loop (PLL) or external clock can be used to derive the internal clocks (1
×, 2×, and 4×)
for the logic, FIR interpolation filters, and DAC. Basic functionality is depicted in Figure 21. Power for the internal
PLL blocks (PLLVDD and PLLGND) is separate from the other clock generation blocks power (CLKVDD and
CLKGND), thus minimizing phase noise within the PLL. The PLLVDD pin establishes internal/external clock
mode: when PLLVDD is grounded, external clock mode is active and when PLLVDD is 3.3 V, internal clock mode
is active.
In external clock mode, the user provides a differential external clock on pins CLK/CLKC. This clock becomes
the 4
× clock and is twice divided down to generate the 2× and 1× clocks. The 2× or 1× clock is multiplexed out
on the PLLLOCK pin to allow for external clock synchronization.
In internal clock mode, the user provides a differential external reference clock on CLK/CLKC. A type four
phase-frequency detector (PFD) in the internal PLL compares this reference clock to a feedback clock and
drives the PLL to maintain synchronization between the two clocks. The feedback clock is generated by dividing
the VCO output by 1
×, 2×, 4×, or 8×, as selected by the prescaler (DIV[1:0]). The output of the prescaler is the
4
× clock, and is divided down twice to generate the 2× and 1× clocks. Pin X4 selects the 1× or 2× clock to clock
in the input data; the selected clock is also fed back to the PFD for synchronization. The PLLLOCK pin is an
output indicating when the PLL has achieved lock. An external RC low-pass PLL filter is provided by the user
at pin LPF. See the Low-Pass Filter section for filter setting calculations. Table 4 provides a summary of the
clock configurations with corresponding data rate ranges.
