GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9574 provides a multiple output clock generator function
comprising a dedicated phase-locked loop (PLL) core optimized
for Ethernet and gigabit Ethernet line card applications. The
integer-N PLL design is based on the Analog Devices, Inc.,
proven portfolio of high performance, low jitter frequency
synthesizers to maximize network performance. The AD9574
also benefits other applications requiring low phase noise and
jitter performance.
clock source (8 kHz/10 MHz/19.44 MHz/25 MHz/38.88 MHz) to
the monitor clock input enables the optional monitor circuit
providing quality of service (QoS) status for REF0 or REF1.
The PLL section consists of a low noise phase frequency
detector (PFD), a precision charge pump (CP), a partially
integrated loop filter (LF), a low phase noise voltage controlled
oscillator (VCO), and feedback and output dividers. The divider
values depend on the PPRx pins. The integrated loop filter
requires only a single external capacitor connected to the LF pin.
Configuring the AD9574 for a particular application requires
only the connection of external pull-up or pull-down resistors
to the appropriate pin program reader pins (PPRx). These pins
provide control of the internal dividers for establishing the
desired frequency translations, clock output functionality, and
input reference functionality. Connecting an external 19.44 MHz
or 25 MHz oscillator to one or both of the REF0_P/REF0_N or
REF1_P/REF1_N reference inputs results in a set of output
frequencies prescribed by the PPRx pins. Connecting a stable
The AD9574 is packaged in a 48-lead 7 mm × 7 mm LFCSP,
requiring only a single 3.3 V supply. The operating temperature
range is −40°C to +85°C.
Note that throughout this data sheet, OUT0 to OUT6, REF0,
and REF1 refer to the respective channels, which consist of the
differential pins, OUT0_P/OUT0_N to OUT6_P/OUT6_N,
REF0_P/REF0_N, and REF1_P/REF1_N, respectively.
