ZL30182 Product Brief
3
Microsemi Corporation
High-resolution frequency and phase measurement
Fast detection of input clock failure and transition to holdover mode
Holdover frequency averaging with programmable averaging time and delay time
Better than 50ppb initial holdover accuracy
2.3 APLL Features
APLL with very high-resolution fractional scaling (i.e. non-integer) per channel
Any-to-any frequency conversion with 0ppm error
Two high-speed dividers (integers 4 to 15, half divides 4.5 to 7.5)
Easy-to-configure, completely encapsulated design requires no external VCXO or loop filter
components
Bypass mode supports system testing
2.4 Output Clock Features
Three low-jitter output clocks per channel
Each output can be one differential output or two CMOS outputs
Output clocks can be any frequency from 1Hz to 1035MHz (250MHz max for CMOS and HSTL outputs)
Output jitter is typically 0.16 to 0.28ps RMS (12kHz to 20MHz)
In CMOS mode, an additional divider allows the OCxN pin to be an integer divisor of the OCxP pin
(example: OC3P 125MHz, OC3N 25MHz)
Outputs easily interface with CML, LVDS, LVPECL, HSTL, SSTL, HCSL and CMOS components
Supported telecom frequencies include PDH, SDH, Synchronous Ethernet, OTN
Can produce clock frequencies for microprocessors, ASICs, FPGAs and other components
Can produce PCIe clocks (PCIe gen. 1, 2 and 3)
Sophisticated output-to-output phase alignment
Per-output phase adjustment with high resolution and unlimited range
Per-output enable/disable
Per-output glitchless start/stop (stop high or low)
2.5 General Features
SPI or I
2
C serial microprocessor interface per channel
Automatic self-configuration at power-up from internal EEPROM memory; pin control to specify one of
four stored configurations
Each channel can be configured for numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) mode, which allows system
software to steer frequency with resolution better than 0.01ppb
Zero-delay buffer configuration using an external feedback path
Four general-purpose I/O pins per channel each with many possible status and control options
Output frame sync signals
Each channel’s local oscillator can be fundamental-mode crystal or low-cost XO
Internal compensation for local oscillator frequency error
2.6 Evaluation Software
Simple, intuitive Windows-based graphical user interface
Supports all device features and register fields
Makes lab evaluation of the ZL30182 quick and easy
Generates configuration scripts to be stored in internal EEPROM
Generates full or partial configuration scripts to be run on a system processor
Works with or without a ZL30182 evaluation board
