internal DPLL will normally lock to the selected
input at the frequency of the input, eg. 19.44
MHz will lock the DPLL phase comparisons at
19.44 MHz. It is, however, possible to utilise
an internal pre-divider to the DPLL to divide the
input frequency before it is used for phase
comparisons in the DPLL. This pre-divider can
be used in one of 2 ways;
The ACS8515 supports up to three individual
input reference clock sources via TTL/CMOS
and PECL/LVDS technologies. These interface
technologies support 3.3 V and 5 V operation.
Input Reference Clock Ports
The input reference clock ports are arranged in
groups. Group one comprises a TTL port (SEC1)
and a PECL/LVDS port (SEC1POS and
SEC1NEG). Group two comprises a TTL port
(SEC2) and a PECL/LVDS port (SEC2POS and
SEC2NEG). Group three comprises a TTL port
(SEC3). For group one and group two, only one
of the two input ports types must be active at
any time, the other must not be driven by a
reference input. Unused PECL/LVDS differential
inputs should be fixed with one input high (VDD)
and the other low (GND), or set in LVDS mode
(i) any of the supported spot frequencies can be divided to
8 kHz by setting the "lock8K" bit (bit 6) in the appropriate
cnfg_ref_source_frequency register location
(ii) any multiple of any supported frequency can be
supported by using the "DivN" feature (bit 7 of the
cnfg_ref_source_frequency register). Any reference input
can be set to lock at 8 kHz independently of the
frequencies and configurations of the other inputs.
Any reference input with the "DivN" bit set in
the cnfg_ref_source_frequency register will
employ the internal pre-divider prior to the DPLL
