FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The NB3H60113G is a 3.3 V / 2.5 V programmable, single
ended / differential clock generator, designed to meet the
clock requirements for consumer and portable markets. It
has a small package size and it requires low power during
operation and while in standby. This device provides the
ability to configure a number of parameters as detailed in the
following section. The One−Time Programmable memory
allows programming and storing of one configuration in the
memory space.

Power Supply
Device Supply
The NB3H60113G is designed to work with a 3.3 V/2.5 V
VDD power supply. For VDD operation of 1.8 V, refer to
NB3V60113G datasheet. In order to suppress power supply
noise it is recommended to connect decoupling capacitors of
0.1 mF and 0.01 mF close to the VDD pin as shown in
Figure 3.
Clock Input
Input Frequency
The clock input block can be programmed to use a
fundamental mode crystal from 3 MHz to 50 MHz or a
single ended reference clock source from 3 MHz to
200 MHz. When using output frequency modulation for
EMI reduction, for optimal performance, it is recommended
to use crystals with frequency more than 6.75 MHz as input.
Crystals with ESR values of up to 150 W are supported.
When using a crystal input, it is important to set crystal load
capacitor values correctly to achieve good performance.
Programmable Crystal Load Capacitors
The provision of internal programmable crystal load
capacitors eliminates the necessity of external load
capacitors for standard crystals. The internal load capacitor
can be programmed to any value between 4.36 pF and
20.39 pF with a step size of 0.05 pF. Refer to Table 3 for
recommended maximum load capacitor values for stable
operation. There are three modes of loading the crystal –
with internal chip capacitors only, with external capacitors
only or with the both internal and external capacitors. Check
with the crystal vendor’s load capacitance specification for
setting of the internal load capacitors. The minimum value
of 4.36 pF internal load capacitor need to be considered
while selecting external capacitor value. These will be
bypassed when using an external reference clock.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
The Automatic Gain Control (AGC) feature adjusts the
gain to the input clock based on its signal strength to
maintain a good quality input clock signal level. This feature
takes care of low clock swings fed from external reference
clocks and ensures proper device operation. It also enables
maximum compatibility with crystals from different
manufacturers, processes, quality and performance. AGC
also takes care of the power dissipation in the crystal; avoids
over driving the crystal and thus extending the crystal life.
In order to calculate the AGC gain accurately and avoid
increasing the jitter on the output clocks, the user needs to
provide crystal load capacitance as well as other crystal
parameters like ESR and shunt capacitance (C0).
