3 Description

The high frequency capability and extremely low jitter of this device, makes a great solution to clock precision, high-frequency data converters without degradation to the signal-to-noise ratio. Each of the 4 high frequency clock outputs and additional LOGICLK output with larger divider range, is paired with a SYSREF output clock signal. The SYSREF signal for JESD interfaces can either be internally generated or passed in as an input and re-clocked to the device clocks. For data converter clocking applications, it is critical to have the jitter of the clock be less than the aperture jitter of the data converter. In applications where more than 4 data converters need to be clocked, a variety of cascading architectures can be developed using multiple devices to distribute all the high frequency clocks and SYSREF signals required. With 30 fs of additive jitter and a noise floor of -160 dBc/Hz, this device combined with an ultra-low noise reference clock source is an exemplary solution for clocking data converters, especially when sampling above 3 GHz.

7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The LMX1204 has four main clock outputs and another LOGICLK output. The main clock outputs are all the same frequency. This frequency can be the same, divided, or multiplied relative to the input clock. Each of these clock outputs has programmable power level. The LOGICLK output frequency is independent and typically lower frequency than the other four main clocks and has programmable output format (CML, LVDS, LVPECL) and power level. The SYSREF can be generated by either repeating the input from the SYSREFREQ pins, or internally generated. There is an internal SYSREF windowing feature that allows the internal timing of the device to be adjusted to optimize setup/hold times. This feature assumes that the delay between the SYSREF edge and the next rising clock edge is consistent. Each of the five outputs has a corresponding SYSREF output that has individual delays and programmable common mode. For the LOGISYS output, the output format is programmable as well.

7.1.1 Range of Dividers and Multiplier

There are dividers that allow the main and LOGICLK outputs to be a divided value of the input clock. The main clock outputs also have a multiplier. In addition to this, dividers are used for SYSREF generation in generator mode as well as generation of the delay block. Table 7-1. Range of Dividers and Multiplier CATEGORY RANGE COMMENTS Main Clocks Divide 1, 2, 3, 4, … 8 Odd divides (except 1) do not have 50% duty cycle Multiply 2, 3, 4 LOGICLK Divide PreDivide 1, 2, 4 TotalDivide = PreDivide × Divide Odd divides (except 1) do not have 50% duty cycleDivide 1, 2, 3, … 1023 SYSREF Divide for frequency generation PreDivide 1,2, 4 Pre-divides clock for phase interpolator. TotalDivide = PreDivide×Divide Odd divides do not have 50% duty cycleDivide 2, 3, 4,… 4095 Divide for delay generation Divide 2, 4, 8, 16 This divide is set according to the input frequency.

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 Power On Reset

When the device is powered up, the power on reset circuitry resets all registers to a default state as well as resets all state machines and dividers. It is also possible to do a software power on reset by writing RESET=1 in the SPI bus and then setting RESET=0. For the power on reset state, SYSREF is disabled and all the dividers are bypassed; the device performs as a 5-output buffer. The SPI bus can be used to override these states to the desired settings.

7.3.2 Clock Outputs

This device has four main output clocks which share a common frequency. This does not include the additional lower frequency LOGICLK output.

7.3.2.1 Clock Output Buffers

The output buffers have a format that is open collector with an integrated pull-up resistor, similar to CML. VCC CLKOUTx 50 : CLKOUTx_PWR Figure 7-2. CLKOUT Output Buffer The output buffers can be enabled with CLKOUTx_EN bits. In addition to this, their output power can be individually set with the CLKOUTx_PWR field. However, these fields only control the output buffer, not the internal channel path that drives this buffer, the SYSREF generator, or the SYSREF output. To power down the entire path, disable the CHx_EN bit. Table 7-2. Clock Output Power CHx_EN INTERNAL CHANNEL PATH CLKOUTx_EN CLKOUTx_PWR OUTPUT BUFFER

7.3.2.2 Clock MUX

The four main clocks must be the same frequency, but this frequency can be bypassed, multiplied, or divided. This is determined by the CLK_MUX word. Table 7-3. Clock MUX CLK_MUX OPTION VALUES SUPPORTED

7.3.2.3 Clock Divider

Setting the CLK_MUX to Divided allows a divide value of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. This is set by the CLK_DIV word. When using the clock divider, any change to the input frequency requires the CLK_DIV_RST bit to be toggled from 1 to 0. Table 7-4. Clock Divider CLK_DIV DIVIDE DUTY CYCLE

1 2 50% 2 3 33% 3 4 50% 4 5 40% 5 6 50% 6 7 43% 7 8 50%

7.3.2.4 Clock Multiplier

The clock multiplier is PLL based and supports multiply values of x2, x3, and x4. Much of its functionality is automatic and does not need to be set by the user, but there are a few considerations.

  • The CLK_MULT field sets the multiplier value of x2, x3, or x4
  • Values other than 2,3, and 4 set the device in buffer mode
  • CLK_MULT and CLK_DIV are the same field
  • Calibration is required and performed by programming the R0 register with a valid input signal

7.3.3 SYSREF

SYSREF allows a low frequency JESD204B/C compliant signal to be produced that is reclocked to a main or LOGICLK output. The delay between the CLKOUT and SYSREF outputs are adjustable in the software. The SYSREF output can be configured as a generator using the internal SYSREF divider, or as a repeater duplicating the signal on the SYSREFREQ pins. The signal can be generated either from inputs from the SYSREFREQ pins or from an internal SYSREF generator. The SYSREF generator for both the main clocks and the LOGICLK output are the same. The output buffers for the LOGICLK and LOGISYS outputs also offer LVDS and LVPECL format and are designed for lower frequency.

7.3.3.1 SYSREF Output Buffers

7.3.3.1.1 SYSREF Output Buffer for Main Clocks

The SYSREF outputs within the clock output channels have the same output buffer structure as the clock output buffer, with the inclusion of the common mode adjust field. For the case of the main clocks, the only choice is CML outputs. For the CML outputs, the common mode can be adjusted with the SYSOUTx_VCM field, and the output level is programmable with the SYSOUTx_PWR field. This is to allow DC coupling. This bias adjust is only available on the SYSREF outputs and not the clocks. This is for noise performance reasons. www.ti.com LMX1204 SNAS800 – JULY 2021 ADVANCE INFORMATION Copyright © 2021 Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Document Feedback 13 Product Folder Links: LMX1204

SYSOUTx_PWR SYSOUTx_VCM Figure 7-3. SYSOUT Output Buffer

7.3.3.1.2 SYSREF Output Buffer for LOGICLK

The LOGISYS output operates in a somewhat similar way to the SYSOUT outputs with the exception that the LOGISYS is lower frequency and supports the three formats of LVDS, LVPECL, and CML. The LOGISYSOUT_EN enables the output buffer and LOGISYS_FMT sets the format. LVDS mode allows programmable common mode, LVPECL and CML require external components, and CML allows programmable output power (see Table 7-5). Table 7-5.

7.3.3.2 SYSREF Frequency and Delay Generation

The SYSREF circuitry can produce an output signal that is synchronized to f CLKIN. This output can be a single pulse, series of pulses, or a continuous stream of pulses. In generator mode, the SYSREF_DIV_PRE and SYSREF_DIV values are used to divide the CLKIN frequency to a lower frequency that is reclocked to the output. In repeater mode, this signal is instead input at the SYSREFREQ pins. For each of the outputs, there is an independent delay control. LMX1204 SNAS800 – JULY 2021 www.ti.com ADVANCE INFORMATION

Table 7-6. SYSREF Modes SYSREF_MODE Description Generator Mode (Continuous) Internal generator creates a continuous stream of SYSREF pulses. The SYSREFREQ pins can be used to turn portions of the SYSREF circuitry without disrupting the synchronization of the SYSREF dividers. These pins need to be logic high for a SYSREF output to come out.

When using SYSREF_MODE set to continuous or pulser, it is recommended to set this to generator mode and when SYSREF_MODE is set to repeater mode, it is recommended to set this to bypass mode.

7.3.3.3 SYSREFREQ pins

The SYSREFREQ pins allow the user to send a SYSREFREQ signal to the device. This signal can be a constant high, a single pulse, or a series of pulses. This input can be used to synchronize the dividers or create a SYSREF output.

7.3.3.3.1 SYSREFREQ Pins Common Mode Voltage

The SYSREFREQ_P and SYSREFREQ_N pins can be driven either AC or DC coupled. When driven AC coupled, the common mode can be adjusted with the SRREQ_VCM bit. Table 7-10. SYSREFREQ Pin Common Mode Voltage SRREQ_VCM COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE 0 1.3 V AC-coupled 1 1.1 V AC-coupled 2 1.5 V AC-coupled

3 No Bias (DC Coupled)

7.3.3.3.2 SYSREFREQ Pin Windowing Feature

The SYSREF windowing can be used to internally calibrate the timing between the SYSREFREQ and CLKIN pins in order to optimize setup and hold timing and trim out the device's internal delay mismatch on the SYSREFREQ and CLKIN paths. This feature requires that the timing from the SYSREFREQ rising edge to the CLKIN rising edge is consistent. The timing from the SYSREFREQ rising edge to the CLKIN rising edges can be tracked with the rb_SYSWND field, which is the concatenation of the rb_SYSWND_L and rb_SYSWND_R fields. Once the timing to the rising edge of the CLKIN pin is found, then the SYSREFREQ rising edge can be internally delayed with the SYSWND_OFFSET field.

  • While programming the windowing feature for the first time, SYSREFREQ needs to be low.
  • Set SYSREF_MODE=2
  • Set SYSWND_DLY according to Table 7-11.
  • Program SYNC_SYSWND_CLR=1 and then SYNC_SYSWND_CLR=0
  • Send a rising edge to the SYSREFREQ pin(s)
  • Read back position with rb_SYSWND_L/R fields to determine timing from the SYSREQREQ rising edge to the next CLKIN rising edge. The number of 0's between the LSB '1' bit and the first series of '11' can be multiplied by the delay determined by SYSWND_DLY to determine the approximate timing to the first rising clock edge.
  • Program SYSWND_OFFSET field in delay steps to maximize margin between left and right rising edges of CLKIN Table 7-11. SYSWND_DLY INPUT FREQUENCY RECOMMENDED SYSWND_DLY<1:0> DELAY (ps) 1.4 - 2.7GHz 0 28 2.4 - 4.7 GHz 1 15 3.1 - 5.7 GHz 2 11 4.5 - 12.8 GHz 3 8 For glitch-free output
  • When switching from request mode to windowing mode and back to request mode, keep the SYSREFREQ pin state stays the same. For example, if the SYSREFREQ pin is high (or low) when windowing mode starts, make sure the pin state is high (or low) again after windowing mode ends before programing SRREQ_MODE.
  • The SYSREFREQ pin must be set low when switching from or to SYNC mode.
  • SYSREFREQ → SYSWND → SYNC, mode switching should be performed with SYSREFREQ pin set to low. If the device goes from SYSREF_MODE=1 to 2 with the SYSREFREQ pin high, then the user must come back to SYSREF_MODE=1 and set SYSREFREQ pin low and then switch to SYNC mode. Direct transition with the SYSREFREQ pins high may lead to a glitch at the output. www.ti.com LMX1204 SNAS800 – JULY 2021 ADVANCE INFORMATION Copyright © 2021 Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Document Feedback 17 Product Folder Links: LMX1204

Other pointers with SYSREF windowing

  • The SYSREFREQ pins need to be held for a minimum of T1 > 3/fCLKIN + 1.6 ns and only after this time rb_SYSWND_L/R fields are valid.
  • If the user infers multiple valid SYSWND_OFFSET values from rb_SYSWND registers to avoid setup- hold violations, choosing the lowest valid SYSWND_OFFSET is recommended to minimize variation over temperature. If using SYNC feature
  • Only one SYSREFREQ pin rising edge is permitted per 75 input clock cycles
  • SYSREFREQ has to stay high for >6 clock cycles

7.3.3.4 SYNC Feature

The SYNC feature allows the user to synchronize the CLK_DIV, LOGICLK_DIV, LOGICLK_DIV_PRE, SYSREF_DIV, SYSREF_DIV_PRE, and SYSREF_DLY_DIV dividers so that the phase offset can be made consistent when multiple devices are used. The synchronization of the dividers can only be done through the SYSREFREQ pin, not the software. In addition to synchronizing the dividers within one device, the SYSREFREQ pins can be used to synchronize multiple devices that are using dividers as well.

7.3.4 LOGICLK Output

The LOGICLK output can be used to drive devices using lower frequency clocks, such as FPGAs. It has programmable output format and a corresponding SYSREF output.

7.3.4.1 LOGICLK Output Format

The LOGICLK output format can be programmed to LVDS, LVPECL, and CML modes. Depending on the format, the common mode may be programmable or external components may be required (see Table 7-12). Table 7-12. LOGICLK Formats and Properties LOGICLK_FMT FORMAT EXTERNAL COMPONENTS REQUIRED COMMON MODE

7.3.4.2 LOGICLK_DIV_PRE and LOGICLK_DIV Dividers

The LOGICLK_DIV_PRE divider and LOGICLK_DIV dividers are used for the LOGICLK output. The LOGICLK_DIV_PRE divider is necessary to divide the frequency down to ensure that the input to the LOGICLK_DIV divider is 3.2 GHz or less. When LOGICLK_DIV is not even and not bypassed, the duty cycle will not be 50%. Both the LOGICLK dividers are synchronized by the SYNC feature, which allows synchronization across multiple devices.

8 Application and Implementation

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Applications Information

The way that the device is set up is important to the performance. Knowing the current consumption and what to do with unused pins is very useful for optimization of layout.

8.1.1 Current Consumption

The current consumption varies as a function of the setup condition. By adding up all the block currents shown in Table 8-1, a reasonable estimate of the current for any setup condition can be obtained. Table 8-1. Current Consumption per Block BLOCK CONDITION CURRENT (mA) Input Path CLK_MUX = Bypass 257 CLK_MUX = Divide 295 CLK_MUX = Multiply 539 Channel Path SYSREF_EN = 0 28 SYSREF_EN = 1 42 CLKOUT Buffer CLKOUTx_EN = CHx_EN = 1 5.8 × (OUTx_PWR + 1) SYSOUT Buffer SYSOUT_EN = CHx_EN = 1 74 + SYSOUTx_PWR*5 SYSREF Generator SYSREF_EN = 1 200 SYSREF_EN = 0, SYNC_EN = 1 60 LOGICLK Path SYSREF_EN = 0 55 SYSREF_EN = 1 73 LOGICLK Buffer LOGICLK_FMT = LVDS 12 LOGICLK_FMT = LVPECL 40 LOGICLK_FMT = CML 12 LOGICLK Buffer LOGICLK_FMT = LVPECL 40 LOGICLK_FMT = CML 12 LOGICLK_FMT = LVDS 12 If all the output clocks, LOGICLK, multiplier, and multiplier are all enabled, it is possible for this device to consume a significant amount of current. In order to mitigate this, It is recommended to turn off the SYSREF output buffers when not using the SYSREF feature to conserve current.

8.1.2 Treatment of Unused Pins

In many cases, not all pins will be needed. Table 8-2 gives recommendation on handling of these unused pins. Table 8-2. Treatment of Unused or Partially Used Pins PIN(S) TREATMENT All Vcc Pins These pins must always be connected to the supply. If the block that this powers is not used, then the bypassing can be minimized or eliminated. SYSREFREQ If driving single-ended, the complimentary input should have a AC-coupling capacitor and 50 Ω to ground. If using continuous SYSREF Generator mode, these pins can be either used to turn the output buffers on and off or they can be pulled high. To pull high, set SYSREFREQP to 1.5 V and SYSREFREQN to 0.5 V. If not using SYSREF at all, pins can be left open. LMX1204 SNAS800 – JULY 2021 www.ti.com ADVANCE INFORMATION

8.2.1 Design Requirements

Table 8-3 shows the design parameters for this example. If not all the outputs or SYSREF are used, TI recommends to compress the layout to minimize trace lengths, especially that of the input trace. For the multiplier, however, there is a specific range where the multiplier works, so make sure to satisfy those requirements. Table 8-3.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

In this example, a 3-GHz input clock is being multiplied up to a 6-GHz input clock. The external components do not change that much based on internal configuration. The TICS Pro software is very useful in calculating the necessary register values and configuring the device. Figure 8-2.

8.2.3 Application Curve

In Figure 8-3, the total plot is the sum of the noise of the LMX1204 multiplier noise and the LMX2820 3-GHz output (scaled to 6 GHz by adding 6 dB). Note that the LMX1204 does increase the phase noise in the 1-MHz to 20-MHz range, but beyond 20 MHz, the input multiplier actually filters the output noise floor.

9 Power Supply Recommendations

This devices uses a 2.5-V supply for the whole device. This device does not have internal LDOs, so it is important that this device is connected to a low noise supply that does not have excessive spurious noise. A direct connection to a switching power supply will likely result in unwanted spurs at the output. Bypassing can be done individually at all the power pins, and TI recommends to have a capacitor suitable for higher frequency on the top layer so higher-value capacitors more suitable for lower frequencies can be farther away. The supply pins for the clocks and the LOGICLK should be isolated with a small resistor or ferrite bead if both are being used simultaneously. See the Pin Configuration and Functions section for additional recommendations for each pin. www.ti.com LMX1204 SNAS800 – JULY 2021 ADVANCE INFORMATION Copyright © 2021 Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Document Feedback 23 Product Folder Links: LMX1204

10 Layout

10.1 Layout Guidelines

  • If using an output single-ended, terminate the complementary side in a similar way to the side that is used.
  • GND pins may be routed on the package back to the DAP.
  • The output clocks contain an internal pullup resistor, so extra pullup resistors are not needed.
  • Minimize the length of the CLKIN trace for optimal phase noise. Poor matching will impact noise floor.
  • Ensure the DAP on device is well-grounded with many vias, preferably copper filled.
  • Use a low loss dielectric material, such as Rogers 4350B, for optimal output power.
