Spurious Performance: The spurious performance is as follows:

• Less than -80 dBc spurious from PFD/reference clocks at 122.88 MHz output frequency in the Nyquist range.
• Less than -68 dBc spurious from output channel-to-channel coupling on the victim output at differential signaling level operated at 122.88 MHz output frequency in the Nyquist range.

Device outputs:

The Device outputs offer multiple signaling formats: high-swing CML (LVPECL like), normal-swing CML (CML), low-swing CML (LVDS like), HCSL, and LVCMOS signaling.

Outputs [Y0:Y3] are driven by 8-b continuous integer dividers per pair. Outputs [Y4:Y7] are each driven by 20-b fractional dividers that can achieve any frequency with better than 1ppm frequency accuracy. The output skew is typically less than 40 ps for differential outputs. The LVCMOS outputs support adjustable slew rate control to control EMI. Pairs of 2 outputs can be operated at 1.8 V, 2.5 V or 3.3 V power supply voltage.

Device Configuration:32 distinct pin modes are available that cover many common use cases without the need for any serial programming of the device. For maximum flexibility the device also supports SPI and I²C programming. I²C offers 4 distinct addresses to support up to 4 devices on the same programming lines.

10.4.1 Control Pins Definition

In the absence of a host interface, the CDCM6208V1F can be powered up in one of 32 pre-configured settings when the pins are SI_MODE[1:0] = 10. The CDCM6208V1F has 5 control pins identified to achieve commonly used networking frequencies, and change output types. The Smart Input MUX for the PLL is set in most configurations to manual mode in pin mode. Based on the control pins settings for the on-chip PLL, the device generates the appropriate frequencies and appropriate output signaling types at start-up. In the case of the PLL loop filter, "JC" denotes PLL bandwidths of ≤ 1 kHz and "Synth" denotes PLL bandwidths of ≥ 100 kHz.

10.4.2 Loop Filter Recommendations for Pin Modes

The following two tables provide the internal charge pump and R3/C3 settings for pin modes. The designer can either design their own optimized loop filter, or use the suggested loop filter in the Table 6.

10.4.3 Status Pins Definition

The device vitals such as input signal quality, smart mux input selection, and PLL lock can be monitored by reading device registers or at the status pins STATUS1, and STATUS0. Register 3[12:7] allows for customization of which vitals are mapped to these two pins. Table 7 lists the three events that can be mapped to each status pin and which can also be read in the register space.

10.4.4 PLL Lock Detect

The PLL lock detection circuit is a digital detection circuit which detects any frequency error, even a single cycle slip. The PLL unlock is signalized when a certain number of cycle slips have been exceeded, at which point the counter is reset. A frequency error of 2% will cause PLL unlock to stay low. A 0.5% frequency error shows up as toggling the PLL lock output with roughly 50% duty cycle at roughly 1/1000 ^th of the PFD update frequency to the device. A frequency error of 1ppm would show up as rare toggling low for a duration of approximately 1000 PFD update clock cycles. If the system plans using PLL lock to toggle a system reset, then consider adding an RC filter on the PLL LOCK output (Status 1 or Status 0) to avoid rare cycle slips from triggering an entire system reset.

10.4.5 Interface and Control

The host (DSP, Microcontroller, FPGA, etc) configures and monitors the CDCM6208V1F via the SPI or I²C port. The host reads and writes to a collection of control/status bits called the register file. Typically, a hardware block is controlled and monitored via a specific grouping of bits located within the register file. The host controls and monitors certain device-wide critical parameters directly, via control/status pins. In the absence of a host, the CDCM6208V1F can be configured to operate in pin mode where the control pins [PIN0-PIN4] can be set appropriately to generate the necessary clock outputs out of the device.

Figure 27. CDCM6208V1F Interface and Control Block

Within this register space, there are certain bits that have read/write access. Other bits are read-only (an attempt to write to a read only bit will not change the state of the bit).

10.4.5.1 Register File Reference Convention

Figure 28 shows the method this document employs to refer to an individual register bit or a grouping of register bits. If a drawing or text references an individual bit, the format is to specify the register number first and the bit number second. The CDCM6208V1F contains 21 registers that are 16 bits wide. The register addresses and the bit positions both begin with the number zero (0). A period separates the register address and bit address. The first bit in the register file is address 'R0.0' meaning that it is located in Register 0 and is bit position 0. The last bit in the register file is address R31.15 referring to the 16^thbit of register address 31 (the 32^ndregister in the device

10.4.5.2 SPI - Serial Peripheral Interface

To enable the SPI port, tie the communication select pins SI_MODE[1:0] to ground. SPI is a master/slave protocol in which the host system is always the master; therefore, the host always initiates communication to/from the device. The SPI interface consists of four signal pins. The device SPI address is 0000.

Table 8. Serial Port Signals in SPI Mode

PIN		I/O	DESCRIPTION
NAME	NUMBER
SDI/SDA/PIN1	2	Input	SDI: SPI Serial Data Input
SDO/AD0/PIN2	3	Output	SDO: SPI Serial Data

The host must present data to the device MSB first. A message includes a transfer direction bit, an address field, and a data field as depicted in Figure 29

10.4.5.2.1 Configuring the PLL

The CDCM6208V1F allows configuring the PLL to accommodate various input and output frequencies either through an I²C or SPI programming interface or in the absence of programming, the PLL can be configured through control pins. The PLL can be configured by setting the Smart Input MUX, Reference Divider, PLL Loop Filter, Feedback Divider, Prescaler Divider, and Output Dividers.

For the PLL to operate in closed loop mode, the following condition in Equation 2 has to be met when using primary input for the reference clock, and the condition in Equation 3 has to be met when using secondary input for the reference clock.

Equation 2.

Equation 3.

In Equation 2 and Equation 3, ƒ_{PRI_REF} is the reference input frequency on the primary input and ƒ_{SEC_REF} is the reference input frequency on the secondary input, R is the reference divider, M is the input divider, N is the feedback divider, and PS_A the prescaler divider A.

The output frequency, ƒ_OUT, is a function of ƒ_VCO, the prescaler A, and the output divider (O), and is given by Equation 4. (Use PS_B in for outputs 2, 3, 6, and 7).

Equation 4.

When the output frequency plan calls for the use of some output dividers as fractional values, the following steps are needed to calculate the closest achievable frequencies for those using fractional output dividers and the frequency errors (difference between the desired frequency and the closest achievable frequency).

• Based on system needs, decide the frequencies that need to have best possible jitter performance.
• Once decided, these frequencies need to be placed on integer output dividers.
• Then a frequency plan for these frequencies with strict jitter requirements can be worked out using the common divisor algorithm.
• Once the integer divider plans are worked out, the PLL settings (including VCO frequency, feedback divider, input divider and prescaler divider) can be worked out to map the input frequency to the frequency out of the prescaler divider.
• Then calculate the fractional divider values (whose values must be greater than 2) that are needed to support the output frequencies that are not part of the common frequency plan from the common divisor algorithm already worked out.
• For each fractional divider value, try to represent the fractional portion in a 20 bit binary scheme, where the first fractional bit is represented as 0.5, the second fractional bit is represented as 0.25, third fractional bit is represented as 0.125 and so on. Continue this process until the entire 20 bit fractional binary word is exhausted.
• Once exhausted, the fraction can be calculated as a cumulative sum of the fractional bit x fractional value of the fractional bit. Once this is done, the closest achievable output frequency can be calculated with the mathematical function of the frequency out of the prescaler divider divided by the achievable fractional divider.
• The frequency error can then be calculated as the difference between the desired frequency and the closest achievable frequency.

10.5.1 Writing to the CDCM6208V1F

To initiate a SPI data transfer, the host asserts the SCS (serial chip select) pin low. The first rising edge of the clock signal (SCL) transfers the bit presented on the SDI pin of the CDCM6208V1F. This bit signals if a read (first bit high) or a write (first bit low) will transpire. The SPI port shifts data to the CDCM6208V1F with each rising edge of SCL. Following the W/R bit are 4 fixed bits followed by 11 bits that specify the address of the target register in the register file. The 16 bits that follow are the data payload. If the host sends an incomplete message, (i.e. the host de-asserts the SCS pin high prior to a complete message transmission), then the CDCM6208V1F aborts the transfer, and device makes no changes to the register file or the hardware. Figure 31 shows the format of a write transaction on the CDCM6208V1F SPI port. The host signals the CDCM6208V1F of the completed transfer and disables the SPI port by de-asserting the SCS pin high.

10.5.2 Reading from the CDCM6208V1F

As with the write operation, the host first initiates a SPI transfer by asserting the SCS pin low. The host signals a read operation by shifting a logical high in the first bit position, signaling the CDCM6208V1F that the host is imitating a read data transfer from the device. During the portion of the message in which the host specifies the CDCM6208V1F register address, the host presents this information on the SDI pin of the device (for the first 15 clock cycles after the W/R bit). During the 16 clock cycles that follow, the CDCM6208V1F presents the data from the register specified in the first half of the message on the SDO pin. The SDO output is 3-stated anytime SCS is high, so that multiple SPI slave devices can be connected to the same serial bus. The host signals the CDCM6208V1F that the transfer is complete by de-asserting the SCS pin high.

Figure 30.

10.5.3 Block Write/Read Operation

The device supports a block write and block read operation. The host need only specify the lowest address of the sequence of addresses that the host needs to access. The CDCM6208V1F will automatically increment the internal register address pointer if the SCS pin remains low after the SPI port finishes the initial 32-bit transmission sequence. Each transmission of 16 bits (a data payload width) results in the device automatically incrementing the address pointer (provided the SCS pin remains active low for all sequences).

10.5.4 I²C Serial Interface

With SI_MODE1=0 and SI_MODE0=1 the CDCM6208V1F enters I ²C mode. The I²C port on the CDCM6208V1F works as a slave device and supports both the 100 kHz standard mode and 400 kHz fast mode operations. Fast mode imposes a glitch tolerance requirement on the control signals. Therefore, the input receivers ignore pulses of less than 50 ns duration. The inputs of the device also incorporates a Schmitt trigger at the SDA and SCL inputs to provide receiver input hysteresis for increased noise robustness.

In an I²C bus system, the CDCM6208V1F acts as a slave device and is connected to the serial bus (data bus SDA and clock bus SCL). The SDA port is bidirectional and uses an open drain driver to permit multiple devices to be connected to the same serial bus. The CDCM6208V1F allows up to four unique CDCM6208V1F slave devices to occupy the I²C bus in addition to any other I²C slave device with a different I²C address. These slave devices are accessed via a 7-bit slave address transmitted as part of an I²C packet. Only the device with a matching slave address responds to subsequent I²C commands. The device slave address is 10101xx (the two LSBs are determined by the AD1 and AD0 pins). The five MSBs are hard-wired, while the two LSBs are set through pins on device powerup.

Figure 32.

During the data transfer through the I²C port interface, one clock pulse is generated for each data bit transferred. The data on the SDA line must be stable during the high period of the clock. The high or low state of the data line can change only when the clock signal on the SCL line is low. The start data transfer condition is characterized by a high-to-low transition on the SDA line while SCL is high. The stop data transfer condition is characterized by a low-to-high transition on the SDA line while SCL is high. The start and stop conditions are always initiated by the master. Every byte on the SDA line must be eight bits long. Each byte must be followed by an acknowledge bit and bytes are sent MSB first.

The acknowledge bit (A) or non-acknowledge bit (A) is the 9^thbit attached to any 8-bit data byte and is always generated by the receiver to inform the transmitter that the byte has been received (when A = 0) or not (when A = 1). A = 0 is done by pulling the SDA line low during the 9^thclock pulse and A = 1 is done by leaving the SDA line high during the 9^thclock pulse.

The I²C master initiates the data transfer by asserting a start condition which initiates a response from all slave devices connected to the serial bus. Based on the 8-bit address byte sent by the master over the SDA line (consisting of the 7-bit slave address (MSB first) and an R/W bit), the device whose address corresponds to the transmitted address responds by sending an acknowledge bit. All other devices on the bus remain idle while the selected device waits for data transfer with the master. The CDCM6208V1F slave address bytes are given in below table.

After the data transfer has occurred, stop conditions are established. In write mode, the master asserts a stop condition to end data transfer during the 10 ^thclock pulse following the acknowledge bit for the last data byte from the slave. In read mode, the master receives the last data byte from the slave but does not pull SDA low during the 9^thclock pulse. This is known as a non-acknowledge bit. By receiving the non-acknowledge bit, the slave knows the data transfer is finished and enters the idle mode. The master then takes the data line low during the low period before the 10 ^thclock pulse, and high during the 10 ^thclock pulse to assert a stop condition.

For "Register Write/Read" operations, the I²C master can individually access addressed registers, that are made of two 8-bit data bytes.

In SPI/I²C mode the device can be configured through twenty registers. Register 4 configures the input, Reg 0-3 the PLL and dividers, and Register 5 - 20 configures the 8 different outputs.
