ACS8944 JAM PLL
Note...I = Input, O = Output, P = Power, LVTTL/LVCMOSU = LVTTL/LVCMOS input with pull-up resistor, LVTTL/LVCMOSD = LVTTL/LVCMOS input
with pull-down resistor
The ACS8944 is a low jitter integrated PLL for clock
dejittering and clock rate translation, meeting the jitter
requirements for SONET up to and including OC-12
(622.08 MHz systems). It is compliant to the relevant ITU,
Telcordia/Bellcore and ETSI standards for at least OC-3
(155.52 MHz) and OC-12 (622.08 MHz) - equivalent to
the corresponding STM-1 and STM-4 rates.
It can be configured for a range of applications using a
minimal number of external components and is available
in a small form factor QFN48 package at 7 mm x 7 mm x
0.9 mm outer dimensions.
Input
The ACS8944 has a single, LVPECL, differential input
(CLKN/P, pins 27 and 28). It is designed to operate with
any of 19.44 MHz, 38.88 MHz, 77.76 MHz or
155.52 MHz input references, and can pull in an input
which is within ±400 ppm of these spot frequencies.
Input Configuration
The input must be configured for the expected input
frequency. This is achieved by connecting the EXT[3:1]
pins, to the configuration pins or to power (VDD) or ground
(VSS), in accordance with the configuration scheme in
Table 4, e.g. for an expected input of 155.52 MHz,
connect EXT1 to VSS, EXT2 to CFG_OUT1 and EXT3 to
CFG_OUT3.
Output
The ACS8944 has a single, LVPECL, differential output
(OUTN/P, pins 2 and 3).
The frequency of the output is determined by the wiring of
OP_FSEL to the appropriate CFG_OUT pin in accordance
