ICS84329B-01
700MHZ, LOW JITTER, CRYSTAL-TO-3.3V LVPECL FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER
Functional Description
NOTE: The functional description that follows describes operation
using a 16MHz crystal. Valid PLL loop divider values for different
crystal or input frequencies are defined in the Input Frequency
Characteristics, Table 6, NOTE 1.
nP_LOAD input is LOW. The data on inputs M0 through M8 and N0
through N1 is passed directly to the M divider and N output divider.
On the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the nP_LOAD input, the data is
latched and the M divider remains loaded until the next LOW
transition on nP_LOAD or until a serial event occurs. The TEST
output is Mode 000 (shift register out) when operating in the
parallel input mode. The relationship between the VCO frequency,
the crystal frequency and the M divider is defined as follows:
fVCO = fXTAL x M
The ICS84329B-01 features a fully integrated PLL and therefore
requires no external components for setting the loop bandwidth. A
parallel resonant, fundamental crystal is used as the input to the
on-chip oscillator. The output of the oscillator is divided by 16 prior
to the phase detector. With a 16MHz crystal this provides a 1MHz
reference frequency. The VCO of the PLL operates over a range
of 250MHz to 700MHz. The output of the M divider is also applied
to the phase detector.

The M value and the required values of M0 through M8 are shown
in Table 3B, Programmable VCO Frequency Function Table. Valid
M values for which the PLL will achieve lock are defined as
250 M 511. The frequency out is defined as follows:
fout = fVCO = fXTAL x M
The phase detector and the M divider force the VCO output
frequency to be M times the reference frequency ÷ 16 by adjusting
the VCO control voltage. Note that for some values of M (either too
high or too low), the PLL will not achieve lock. The output of the
VCO is scaled by a divider prior to being sent to each of the
LVPECL output buffers. The divider provides a 50% output duty
cycle.

Serial operation occurs when nP_LOAD is HIGH and S_LOAD is
LOW. The shift register is loaded by sampling the S_DATA bits with
the rising edge of S_CLOCK. The contents of the shift register are
loaded into the M divider when S_LOAD transitions from
LOW-to-HIGH. The M divide and N output divide values are
latched on the HIGH-to-LOW transition of S_LOAD. If S_LOAD is
held HIGH, data at the S_DATA input is passed directly to the M
divider on each rising edge of S_CLOCK. The serial mode can be
used to program the M and N bits and test bits T2:T0. The internal
resistors T2:T0 determine the state of the TEST output as follows:
The programmable features of the ICS84329B-01 support two
input modes to program the M divider and N output divider.
The two input operational modes are parallel and serial. Figure 1
shows the timing diagram for each mode. In parallel mode the
