Power Supply Decoupling LC Circuit
The 850 MHz HSI macro contains both analog and digital circuitry. The data recovery function, for example, is
implemented as primarily a digital function, but it relies on a conventional analog phase-locked loop to provide its
850 MHz reference frequency. The internal analog phase-locked loop contains a voltage-controlled oscillator. This
circuit will be sensitive to digital noise generated from the rapid switching transients associated with internal logic
gates and parasitic inductive elements. Generated noise that contains frequency components beyond the band-
width of the internal phase-locked loop (about 3 MHz) will not be attenuated by the phase-locked loop and will
impact bit error rate directly. Thus, separate power supply pins are provided for these critical analog circuit ele-
ments.
Additional power supply ltering in the form of a LC lter section will be used between the power supply source and
these device pins as shown in
Figure 32. The corner frequency of the LC lter is chosen based on the power supply
switching frequency, which is between 100 kHz and 300 kHz in most applications.
Capacitors C1 and C2 are large electrolytic capacitors to provide the basic cut-off frequency of the LC lter. For
example, the cutoff frequency of the combination of these elements might fall between 5 kHz and 50 kHz. Capaci-
tor C3 is a smaller ceramic capacitor designed to provide a low-impedance path for a wide range of high-frequency
signals at the analog power supply pins of the device. The physical location of capacitor C3 must be as close to the
device lead as possible. Multiple instances of capacitors C3 can be used if necessary. The recommended lter for
the HSI macro is shown below: L = 4.7H, RL = 1
Ω, C1 = 0.01F, C2 = 0.01F, C3 = 4.7F.

If the programmable PLLs on the FPGA portion of the device are to be used, then the VDD33 supply must isolated
in the same way. More information on this and other requirements for the FPGA PLLs can be found in technical
