GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9517-41 provides a multi-output clock distribution
function with subpicosecond jitter performance, along with an
on-chip PLL and VCO. The on-chip VCO tunes from 1.45 GHz
to 1.80 GHz. Optionally, an external VCO/VCXO of up to
2.4 GHz can be used.
The AD9517-4 emphasizes low jitter and phase noise to
maximize data converter performance, and it can benefit other
applications with demanding phase noise and jitter requirements.

The AD9517-4 features four LVPECL outputs (in two pairs)
and four LVDS outputs (in two pairs). Each LVDS output can
be reconfigured as two CMOS outputs. The LVPECL outputs
operate to 1.6 GHz, the LVDS outputs operate to 800 MHz, and
the CMOS outputs operate to 250 MHz.
For applications that require additional outputs, a crystal reference
input, zero-delay, or EEPROM for automatic configuration at
startup, the AD9520 and AD9522 are available. In addition,
the AD9516 and AD9518 are similar to the AD9517 but have
a different combination of outputs.
Each pair of outputs has dividers that allow both the divide
ratio and coarse delay (or phase) to be set. The range of division
for the LVPECL outputs is 1 to 32. The LVDS/CMOS outputs
allow a range of divisions up to a maximum of 1024.
The AD9517-4 is available in a 48-lead LFCSP and can be
operated from a single 3.3 V supply. An external VCO, which
requires an extended voltage range, can be accommodated
by connecting the charge pump supply (VCP) to 5 V. A separate
LVPECL power supply can be from 2.5 V to 3.3 V (nominal).
The AD9517-4 is specified for operation over the industrial
range of −40°C to +85°C.

AD9517 is used throughout the data sheet to refer to all the members of the

This value is incremental. That is, it is in addition to the jitter of the LVDS or CMOS output without the delay. To estimate the total jitter, the LVDS or CMOS output jitter
should be added to this value using the root sum of the squares (RSS) method.

most applications; but if a 5 V external VCXO is used, this pin should be 5 V.
Charge Pump (Output). Connects to external loop filter.
Status (Output). This pin has multiple selectable outputs; see Table 54, Register 0x017.
Reference Select. Selects REF1 (low) or REF2 (high). This pin has an internal 30 kΩ
pull-down resistor.
Manual Synchronizations and Manual Holdover. This pin initiates a manual
synchronization and is also used for manual holdover. Active low. This pin has an
internal 30 kΩ pull-up resistor.
Loop Filter (Input). Connects to VCO control voltage node internally. This pin has
31 pF of internal capacitance to ground, which may influence the loop filter design
for large loop bandwidths.
This pin is for bypassing the LDO to ground with a capacitor.
