1.2 DPLL Mode Control
Both DPLL1 and DPLL2 independently support 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 ZL30116 will enter in the Normal (locked) mode.

1. Limited to 14 Hz for 2 kHz references)
2. In the wideband mode, the loop bandwidth depends on the frequency of the reference input. For reference frequencies greater than
8 kHz, the loop bandwidth = 890 Hz. For reference frequencies equal to 8 kHz, the loop bandwidth = 56 Hz. The loop bandwidth is
equal to 14 Hz for reference frequencies of 2 kHz.
