Data Sheet
15.0 Device Application: Telecom Clock Regenerator
15.1 Example Calculation
The FS6131 can be used as a clock regenerator as shown in Figure 28. This mode uses the VCXO in its own phase-locked loop, referred to as
the crystal loop. The VCXO provides a "de-jittered" multiple of the reference frequency at the REF pin (usually 8kHz in telecom applications) for
use by the main loop. In essence, the crystal loop "cleans up" the reference signal for the main loop.
The control ROM for the VCXO divider is preloaded with the most common ratios to permit locking of most standard telecommunications crystals
to an 8kHz signal applied to the REF pin. The de-jittered multiple of the reference frequency from the VCXO is then supplied to the reference
divider in the main loop. The reference divider, along with the feedback divider, can be programmed to achieve the desired output clock frequency.
A Visual BASIC program is available to completely program the FS6131 based on the given parameters.
In this example, an 8kHz reference frequency is supplied to the FS6131 and an output clock frequency of 51.84MHz is desired.
First, select the frequency at which the VCXO will operate from Table 10. The table shows the external crystal frequency options available to
choose from, since the VCXO runs at the crystal frequency. While the main loop can be programmed to work with any of the frequencies in the
table, the best performance will be achieved with the highest frequency at the main loop PFD.
The frequency at the main loop PFD (fMLpfd) is the VCXO frequency (fVCXO) divided by the main loop reference divider (NR).
