GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9577 provides a multioutput clock generator function,
along with two on-chip phase-locked loop cores, PLL1 and PLL2,
optimized for network clocking applications. The PLL designs
are based on the Analog Devices, Inc., proven portfolio of high
performance, low jitter frequency synthesizers to maximize
network performance. The PLLs have I
frequencies and formats. The fractional-N PLL can support
spread spectrum clocking for reduced EMI radiated peak power.
Both PLLs can support frequency margining. Other applications
with demanding phase noise and jitter requirements can benefit
from this part.
The first integer-N PLL section (PLL1) consists of a low noise phase
frequency detector (PFD), a precision charge pump (CP), a low
phase noise voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), a programmable

feedback divider, and two independently programmable output
dividers. By connecting an external crystal or applying a reference
clock to the REFCLK pin, frequencies of up to 637.5 MHz can
be synchronized to the input reference. Each output divider and
feedback divider ratio is I

C programmed for the required
output rates.
A second fractional-N PLL (PLL2) with a programmable modulus
allows VCO frequencies that are fractional multiples of the
reference frequency to be synthesized. Each output divider
and feedback divider ratio can be programmed for the required
output rates, up to 637.5 MHz. This fractional-N PLL can also
operate in integer-N mode for the lowest jitter.
Up to four differential output clock signals can be configured
as either LVPECL or LVDS signaling formats. Alternatively,
the outputs can be configured for up to eight CMOS outputs.
Combinations of these formats are supported. No external loop
filter components are required, thus conserving valuable design
time and board space. The AD9577 is available in a 40-lead, 6 mm ×
6 mm LFCSP package and can operate from a single 3.3 V supply.
The operating temperature range is −40°C to +85°C.
