PL902xxx Revision 1.1 General Description Features The PL902xxx series is a low-power, small form-factor, high-performance OTP-based device and a member of Micrel's JitterBlocker, factory programmable jitter attenuators. The JitterBlocker product family cleans any deterministic jitter, thereby improving the peak-to-peak jitter, accumulated jitter, and even the phase noise. The PL902xxx is capable of reducing thousands of picoseconds of period jitter in a clock to a level below 100ps peak-to-peak, making that clock usable for many more applications. Lowest power and smallest programmable jitter attenuator Input/output frequency up to 200MHz I/O pins can be configured as output enable (OE), frequency switching (CSEL), power down (PDB) input, or CLK1(2) output. <10A current consumption with PDB active Operating temperature range from -40C to +85C Available in 6-pin SOT23 GREEN/RoHS-compliant packages. Related devices: PL903xxx: Single-ended input, differential output, and phase noise cleaning. PL904xxx: Differential input, two differential outputs, and phase noise cleaning The PL902xxx operates on a single 2.5V or 3.3V supply, consumes little power, and is housed in a small SOT23 package for a broad range of applications. Programmable I/O pins can be configured as output enable (OE), configuration select (CSEL), power down (PDB) input, or CLK1 (2) output. The power down feature of PL902xxx, when activated, allows the IC to consume less than 10A of power, while its programming flexibility allows filtering of any clock frequency, up to 200MHz.

PL902xxx Functional Description The PL902xxx series is a highly featured, very flexible, advanced programmable jitter filter design for high performance, low-power, small form-factor applications. The PL902xxx accepts a reference clock input between 1MHz and 200MHz and is capable of producing up to three outputs in the 5MHz to 200MHz range. The most common configuration will be comprised of the same input and output frequency, but this flexible design also allows frequency translation from one frequency to another frequency as long as both frequencies are within the specified ranges for input and output. Jitter Filter Programming Typically, the jitter filter settings will be optimized for one particular input and output frequency, but the flexible design also allows configurations for a certain frequency range, up to one octave wide. Output Enable (OE) The output enable feature allows the user to enable and disable the clock output(s) by toggling the OE pin. The OE pin incorporates a 60k pull-up resistor, giving a default condition of logic "1". The typical bandwidth of the jitter filter is 4kHz. This means that jitter frequency components above 4kHz will be attenuated. In case of frequency translation, the bandwidth may be slightly different. Power Down Control (PDB) The power down (PDB) feature allows the user to put the PL902xxx into sleep mode. When activated (logic "0"), PDB disables the synthesizer circuitry, counters, and all other active circuitry. In power down mode, the IC consumes <10A of power. The PDB pin incorporates a 60k pull-up resistor giving a default condition of logic "1". Clock Output (CLK0) CLK0 is the main clock output. The output drive level can be programmed to low drive (4mA), standard drive (8mA) or high drive (16mA). The maximum output frequency is 200MHz at 3.3V operation and 167MHz at 2.5V operation. Configuration Select (CSEL) The configuration select (CSEL) feature allows the PL902xxx to switch between two pre-programmed configurations allowing the device on-the-fly frequency switching. The CSEL pin incorporates a 60k pull-up resistor giving a default condition of logic "1". Clock Output (CLK1, CLK2) The CLK1 and CLK2 feature allows the PL902xxx to have two additional clock outputs programmed to one of the following frequencies: CLK1 = CLK0 CLK2 = CLK0, CLK0/2 or CLK0/4 Examples for this feature are: CLK1 and CLK2 allow the same output drive level programming as CLK0. Because of the extra /2 and /4 settings, CLK2 is capable of going down to 1.25MHz. In case only an output clock of <5MHz is needed, CLK0 and CLK1 can be disabled.

PL902xxx Layout Recommendations The following guidelines are designed to assist the user to create a performance-optimized PCB design. Signal Integrity and Termination Considerations Decoupling and Power Supply Considerations Keep traces short for good signal integrity. Trace = Inductor. With a capacitive load this causes ringing. Place decoupling capacitors as close as possible to the VDD pin(s) to limit noise from the power supply. Long trace = Transmission line. Without proper termination, this will cause reflections that also look like ringing. Multiple VDD pins should be decoupled separately for best performance. The addition of a ferrite bead in series with VDD can help prevent noise from other board sources. The value of the decoupling capacitor is frequencydependent. Typical values to use are 0.1 F for designs using frequencies <50MHz and 0.01 F for designs using frequencies >50MHz. Design long traces (greater than 1 inch) as "striplines" or "microstrips" with defined impedance. Match the trace at one side to avoid reflections bouncing back and forth.

PL902xxx Fixing Extreme Jitter in 10MHz IEEE1588 GPIO Clocks 10MHz clock from IEEE1588 Jitter Blocker output An IEEE1588 system can manufacture a 10MHz clock from 8ns pulses, but this creates extreme period jitter of about 24ns peak-to-peak in this case. The JitterBlocker cleans that up to 100ps peak-to-peak, allowing the clock to be used in more jitter-sensitive applications.
