PRODUCTION DATA
The XO input is the reference clock for the fractional-N APLLs. The XO input determines the output frequency accuracy and stability in free-run or holdover modes.
For DPLL mode, the XO frequency must have a non-integer relationship with the VCO1 frequency so APLL1 can operate in fractional mode. For APLL-only mode, the XO frequency can have an integer or fractional relationship with the VCO1 and/or VCO2 frequencies.
In DPLL mode applications, such as SyncE and IEEE 1588, the XO input can be driven by a low-frequency TCXO, OCXO, or external traceable clock that conforms to the frequency accuracy and holdover stability required by the applicable synchronization standard. TCXO and OCXO frequencies of 12.8, 19.2, 19.44, 24, 24.576, and 30.72 MHz are commonly available and cost-effective options that allow the APLL1 to operate in fractional mode for a VCO1 frequency of 2.5 GHz.
An XO/TCXO/OCXO source with low-frequency or a high-phase jitter/noise floor will have no impact on the output jitter performance because the BAW VCO determines the jitter and phase noise over the 12-kHz to 20-MHz integration bandwidth.
The XO input buffer has programmable input on-chip termination and AC-coupled input biasing configurations as shown in Figure 9-6. The buffered XO path also drives the input monitoring blocks.
Table 9-1 lists the typical XO input buffer configurations for common clock interface types.
