DESCRIPTION
The SY89429A is a general purpose, synthesized clock
source targeting applications that require both serial and
parallel interfaces. Its internal VCO will operate over a
range of frequencies from 400MHz to 800MHz. The
differential PECL output can be configured to be the VCO
frequency divided by 2, 4, 8 or 16. With the output configured
to divide the VCO frequency by 2, and with a 16MHz
external quartz crystal used to provide the reference
frequency, the output frequency can be specified in 1MHz
steps.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
ClockWorks™
SY89429A
INPUTS
XTAL1, XTAL2
These pins form an oscillator when connected to an external
crystal. The crystal is series resonant. Alternatively, these
pins can be driven with 100K PECL level by an external
source.
S_LOAD
This TTL pin loads the configuration latches with the contents
of the shift registers. The latches will be transparent when this
signal is HIGH; thus, the register data must be stable on the
HIGH-to-LOW transition of S_LOAD for proper operation.
S_DATA
This TTL pin is the input to the serial configuration shift
registers.
S_CLOCK
This TTL pin clocks the serial configuration shift registers. On
the rising edge of this signal, data from S_DATA is sampled.
P_LOAD
This TTL pin loads the configuration latches with the contents
of the parallel inputs. The latches will be transparent when this
signal is LOW; thus, the parallel data must be stable on the
LOW-to-HIGH transition of P_LOAD for proper operation.
OUTPUTS
FOUT, FOUT
These differential positive-referenced ECL signals (PECL)
are the output of the synthesizer.
TEST
The function of this TTL output is determined by the serial
configuration bits T[2:0].
POWER
VCC1
This is the positive supply for the chip and is normally connected
to +5.0V.
VCC_OUT
This is the positive reference for the PECL outputs, FOUT and
FOUT. It is constrained to be less than or equal to VCC1.
VCC_QUIET
This is the positive supply for the PLL and should be as noisefree as possible for low-jitter operation.
GND
These pins are the negative supply for the chip and are
normally all connected to ground.
M[8:0]
These TTL pins are used to configure the PLL loop divider.
They are sampled on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of P_LOAD.
M[8] is the MSB, M[0] is the LSB. The binary count on the M
pins equates to the divide-by value for the PLL.
N[1:0]
These TTL pins are used to configure the output divider
modulus. They are sampled on the LOW-to-HIGH transition
of P_LOAD.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The internal oscillator uses the external quartz crystal as the
basis of its frequency reference. The output of the reference
oscillator is divided by eight before being sent to the phase
detector. With a 16MHz crystal, this provides a reference frequency
of 2MHz.
The VCO within the PLL operates over a range of 400–
800MHz. Its output is scaled by a divider that is configured by
either the serial or parallel interfaces. The output of this loop
divider is also applied to the phase detector.
The phase detector and loop filter force the VCO output
frequency to be M times the reference frequency by adjusting the
VCO control voltage. Note that for some values of M (either too
high or too low) the PLL will not achieve loop lock. External loop
filter components are utilized to allow for optimal phase jitter
performance.
The output of the VCO is also passed through an output
divider before being sent to the PECL output driver. The output
divider is configured through either the serial or the parallel
interfaces and can provide one of four divider ratios (2, 4, 8 or 16).
This divider extends the performance of the part while providing
a 50% duty cycle.
The output driver is driven differentially from the output divider
and is capable of driving a pair of transmission lines terminated
in 50Ω. The positive reference for the output driver is provided by
a dedicated power pin (VCC_OUT) to reduce noise and provide
application flexibility.
The configuration logic has two sections: serial and parallel.
The parallel interface uses the values at the M[8:0] and N[1:0]
inputs to configure the internal counters. Normally upon system
reset, the P_LOAD input is held LOW until sometime after
power becomes valid. With S_LOAD held LOW, on the LOWto-HIGH transition of P_LOAD, the parallel inputs are captured.
The parallel interface has priority over the serial interface.
Internal pull-up resistors are provided on the M[8:0] and N[1:0]
inputs to reduce component count.
The serial interface logic is implemented with a 14-bit shift
register scheme. The register shifts once per rising edge of the
S_CLOCK input. The serial input S_DATA must meet set-up and
hold timing as specified in the AC parameters section of this data
sheet. With P_LOAD held HIGH, the configuration latches will
capture the value in the shift register on the HIGH-to-LOW edge
of the S_LOAD input. See the programming section for more
information.
The TEST output reflects various internal node values and is
controlled by the T[2:0] bits in the serial data stream. See the
programming section for more information.

PROGRAMMING INTERFACE

SY89429A
Programming the device is accomplished by properly
configuring the internal dividers to produce the desired
frequency at the outputs. The output frequency can be
represented by this formula:
M
N
Where F
FOUT = ( ) x
XTAL is the crystal frequency, M is the loop divider

modulus, and N is the output divider modulus. Note that it is
possible to select values of M such that the PLL is unable to
achieve loop lock. To avoid this, always make sure that M is
selected to be 200 ≤ M ≤ 400 for a 16MHz input reference.
M[8:0] and N[1:0] are normally specified once at power-on,
through the parallel interface, and then possibly again through
the serial interface. This approach allows the designer to bring
up the application at one frequency and then change or finetune the clock, as the ability to control the serial interface
becomes available. To minimize transients in the frequency
domain, the output should be varied in the smallest step size
possible.

The TEST output provides visibility for one of several
internal nodes (as determined by the T[1:0] bits in the serial
configuration stream). It is not configurable through the parallel
interface. Although it is possible to select the node that
represents FOUT, the TTL output may not be able to toggle
fast enough for some of the higher output frequencies. The T2,
T1, T0 configuration latches are preset to 000 when P_LOAD
is low, so that the FOUT outputs are as jitter-free as possible.
The serial configuration port can be used to select one of the
alternate functions for this pin.
The Test register is loaded with the first three bits, the N
register with the next two and the M register with the final eight
bits of the data stream on the S_DATA input. For each register
the most significant bit is loaded first (T2, N1 and M8).
When T[2:0] is set to 100 the SY89429A is placed in PLL
bypass mode. In this mode the S_CLOCK input is fed directly
into the M and N dividers. The N divider drives the FOUT
differential pair and the M counter drives the TEST output pin.
In this mode the S_CLOCK input could be used for low speed
board level functional test or debug. Bypassing the PLL and
driving FOUT directly gives the user more control on the test
clocks sent through the clock tree (See detailed Block Diagram).
Because the S_CLOCK is a TTL level the input frequency is
limited to 250MHz or less. This means the fastest the FOUT
pin can be toggled via the S_CLOCK is 125MHz as the
minimum divide ratio of the N counter is 2. Note that the M
counter output on the TEST output will not be a 50% duty cycle
due to the way the divider is implemented.
