FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
OVERALL
combines a programmable PLL core with a configurable clock
distribution system. A complete PLL requires the addition of a
suitable external VCO (or VCXO) and loop filter. This PLL can
lock to a reference input signal and produce an output that is
related to the input frequency by the ratio defined by the pro-
grammable R and N dividers. The PLL cleans up some jitter
from the external reference signal, depending on the loop band-
width and the phase noise performance of the VCO (VCXO).
The output from the VCO (VCXO) can be applied to the clock
distribution section of the chip, where it can be divided by any
integer value from 1 to 32. The duty cycle and relative phase of
the outputs can be selected. There are four LVPECL outputs,
(OUT0, OUT1, OUT2, and OUT3) and four outputs that can be
either LVDS or CMOS level outputs (OUT4, OUT5, OUT6, and
OUT7). Two of these outputs (OUT5 and OUT6) can also make
use of a variable delay block.
Alternatively, the clock distribution section can be driven directly
by an external clock signal, and the PLL can be powered off.
Whenever the clock distribution section is used alone, there is
no clock cleanup. The jitter of the input clock signal is passed
along directly to the distribution section and may dominate at
the clock outputs.
PLL SECTION
Th
e AD9510 consists of a PLL section and a distribution section.
If desired, the PLL section can be used separately from the
distribution section.
Th
e AD9510 has a complete PLL core on-chip, requiring only
an external loop filter and VCO/VCXO. This PLL is based on
the
ADF4106, a PLL noted for its superb low phase noise per-
formance. The operation of th
e AD9510 PLL is nearly identical
to that of the
ADF4106, offering an advantage to those with
experience with the ADF series of PLLs. Differences include the
addition of differential inputs at REFIN and CLK2, a different
control register architecture. Also, the prescaler is changed to
allow N as low as 1. Th
e AD9510 PLL implements the digital
lock detect feature somewhat differently than the
ADF4106does, offering improved functionality at higher PFD rates. See
PLL Reference Input—REFIN
The REFIN/REFINB pins can be driven by either a differential
or a single-ended signal. These pins are internally self-biased so
that they can be ac-coupled via capacitors. It is possible to dc-
couple to these inputs. If REFIN is driven single-ended, decouple
the unused side (REFINB) via a suitable capacitor to a quiet

VCO/VCXO Clock Input—CLK2
The CLK2 differential input is used to connect an external
VCO or VCXO to the PLL. Only the CLK2 input port has a
connection to the PLL N divider. This input can receive up to
1.6 GHz. These inputs are internally self-biased and must be
ac-coupled via capacitors.
Alternatively, CLK2 can be used as an input to the distribution
section. This is accomplished by setting Register 0x45[0] = 0b.
The default condition is for CLK1 to feed the distribution section.

PLL Reference Divider—R
The REFIN/REFINB inputs are routed to reference divider, R,
which is a 14-bit counter. R can be programmed to any value
from 1 to 16383 (a value of 0 results in a divide by 1) via its
control register (Register 0x0B[5:0], Register 0x0C[7:0]). The
output of the R divider goes to one of the phase frequency
detector inputs. Do not exceed the maximum allowable frequency
into the phase frequency detector (PFD). This means that the
REFIN frequency divided by R must be less than the maximum
