which the Frequency Synthesizer multiplies while maintaining synchronicity with the frequency reference

clock through the Digital PLL. The allowable frequency range for CLK_IN is found in the “AC Electrical Char-

acteristics” on page 7.

5.3.1

Adjusting the Minimum Loop Bandwidth for CLK_IN

The CS2000 allows the minimum loop bandwidth of the Digital PLL to be adjusted between 1 Hz and

128 Hz using the ClkIn_BW[2:0] global parameter. The minimum loop bandwidth of the Digital PLL direct-

ly affects the jitter transfer function; specifically, jitter frequencies below the loop bandwidth corner are

passed from the PLL input directly to the PLL output without attenuation. In some applications it is desir-

able to have a very low minimum loop bandwidth to reject very low jitter frequencies, commonly referred

to as wander. In others it may be preferable to remove only higher frequency jitter, allowing the input wan-

der to pass through the PLL without attenuation.

Typically, applications in which the PLL_OUT signal creates a new clock domain from which all other sys-

tem clocks and associated data are derived will benefit from the maximum jitter and wander rejection of

the lowest PLL bandwidth setting. See Figure 11.

Systems in which some clocks and data are derived from the PLL_OUT signal while other clocks and data

are derived from the CLK_IN signal will often require phase alignment of all the clocks and data in the

system. See Figure 12. If there is substantial wander on the CLK_IN signal in these applications, it may

be necessary to increase the minimum loop bandwidth allowing this wander to pass through to the

CLK_OUT signal in order to maintain phase alignment. For these applications, it is advised to experiment

with the loop bandwidth settings and choose the lowest bandwidth setting that does not produce system

timing errors due to wandering between the clocks and data synchronous to the CLK_IN domain and

those synchronous to the PLL_OUT domain.
