M908-01
VCSO BASED GBE CLOCK GENERATOR
Prod uct Data Sh eet
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The M908-01 is a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) based
clock generator that generates output clocks
synchronized to an input reference clock.
The M908-01 combines the flexibility of a VCSO
(Voltage Controlled SAW Oscillator) with the stability of
a crystal oscillator.
Input Reference
The input reference can either be an external, discrete
crystal device or a stable external clock source such as
a packaged crystal oscillator:
If an external crystal is used with the on-chip crystal
oscillator circuit (XTAL OSC), the external crystal
should be a parallel-resonant, fundamental mode
crystal. Apply it to the XTAL_1 / REF_IN and XTAL_2 input
pins. External crystal load capacitors are also
required.
If an external LVCMOS/LVTTL clock source is used,
apply it to the XTAL_1 / REF_IN input pin.
In either case, the reference clock is supplied to the
phase detector of the PLL. The M908-01 includes a
reference divider that divides the input reference
frequency by a fixed value “R” and provides the result to
the phase detector.
The PLL
The PLL (Phase Locked Loop) includes the phase
detector, the VCSO, a feedback divider (labeled
“M Divider”), and a reference divider (“R Divider”).
The feedback divider divides the VCSO output
frequency by a fixed value “M” to match the reference
frequency provided to the phase detector by the
reference divider.
By controlling the frequency and phase of the VCSO,
the phase detector precisely locks the frequency and
phase of the feedback divider output to that of the
reference divider output. This creates an output
frequency that is a multiple of the reference frequency
(which is output from the VCSO).
The relationship between the VCSO output frequency,
the M Divider, the R Divider and the input reference
frequency is defined as follows:
VCSO output frequency = 156.25MHz
Input reference frequency = 25MHz
M=25
R= 4
Therefore, for the M908-01-156.2500:
25
156.25MHz = 25MHz
4
The product of the input crystal frequency and
falls within the lock range of the VCSO.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
This section includes information on the optional
external crystal and on the external loop filter.
External Crystal Specifications
If an external crystal is used with the on-chip crystal
oscillator circuit (XTAL OSC), the external crystal
should have the following general specifications:
The external crystal will be applied to the XTAL_1 / REF_IN
and XTAL_2 input pins. External crystal load capacitors
are also required.
Recommended External Crystal Configuration
XTAL= 25 or 30 MHz, Load Capacitance Specification = 18 pF
C1
= 27 pF
C2
= 33 pF
External load capacitors C1 and C2 present a load of 15 pf
to the crystal (they are seen in series by the crystal through
the common ground connection). With the additional of PCB
trace capacitance and M908-01 input capacitance, the total
load to the crystal is about 18 pf.
