1.2 DPLL Mode Of Operation
The DPLL supports three modes of operation - free-run, normal, and holdover. The mode of operation can be
manually set or controlled by an automatic state machine as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 - Automatic Mode State Machine
Free-run
The free-run mode occurs immediately after a reset cycle or when the DPLL has never been synchronized to a
reference input. In this mode, the frequency accuracy of the output clocks is equal to the frequency accuracy of the
external master oscillator.
Lock Acquisition
The input references are continuously monitored for frequency accuracy and phase regularity. If at least one of the
input references is qualified by the reference monitors, then the DPLL will begin lock acquisition on that input. Given
a stable reference input, the ZL30122 will enter in the Normal (locked) mode.
Normal (locked)
The usual mode of operation for the DPLL is the normal mode where the DPLL phase locks to a selected qualified
reference input and generates output clocks and frame pulses with a frequency accuracy equal to the frequency
accuracy of the reference input. While in the normal mode, the DPLLs clock and frame pulse outputs comply with
the MTIE and TDEV wander generation specifications as described in Telcordia and ITU-T telecommunication
standards.
Holdover
When the DPLL operating in the normal mode loses its reference input, and no other qualified references are
available, it will enter the holdover mode and continue to generate output clocks based on historical frequency data
collected while the DPLL was synchronized. The transition between normal and holdover modes is controlled by
the DPLL so that its initial frequency offset is better than 100 ppb. The frequency drift after this transition period is
dependant on the frequency drift of the external master oscillator.

1.3 Ref and Sync Inputs
There are three reference clock inputs (ref0 to ref2) available to the DPLL. Reference selection can be controlled
using a built-in state machine or set in a manual mode.The selected reference input is used to synchronize the
output clocks.
Figure 3 - Reference and Sync Inputs
In addition to the reference inputs, the DPLL has three optional frame pulse synchronization inputs (sync0 to
sync2) used to align the output frame pulses. The sync
n
input is selected with its corresponding ref
n
input, where n
= 0, 1, or 2. Note that the sync input cannot be used to synchronize the DPLL, it only determines the alignment of
the frame pulse outputs. An example of output frame pulse alignment is shown in Figure 4.

Each of the ref inputs accept a single-ended LVCMOS clock with a frequency ranging from 2 kHz to 77.76 MHz.
Built-in frequency detection circuitry automatically determines the frequency of the reference if its frequency is
within the set of pre-defined frequencies as shown in Table 2. Custom frequencies definable in multiples of 8 kHz
are also available.
Each of the sync inputs accept a single-ended LVCMOS frame pulse. Since alignment is determined from the rising
edge of the frame pulse, there is no duty cycle restriction on this input, but there is a minimum pulse width
requirement of 5 ns. Frequency detection for the sync inputs is automatic for the supported frame pulse frequencies
shown in Table 3.
1.4 Ref and Sync Monitoring
All input references (ref0 to ref2) are monitored for frequency accuracy and phase regularity. New references are
qualified before they can be selected as a synchronization source, and qualified references are continuously
monitored to ensure that they are suitable for synchronization. The process of qualifying a reference depends on
four levels of monitoring.
Single Cycle Monitor (SCM)
The SCM block measures the period of each reference clock cycle to detect phase irregularities or a missing clock
edge. In general, if the measured period deviates by more than 50% from the nominal period, then an SCM failure
(scm_fail) is declared.
