1.0 Features
The FS6128 is a monolithic CMOS clock generator IC
designed to minimize cost and component count in digital
video/audio systems.
At the core of the FS6128 is circuitry that implements a
voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) when an
external resonator (nominally 13.5MHz) is attached. The
VCXO allows device frequencies to be precisely adjusted
for use in systems that have frequency matching
requirements, such as digital satellite receivers.
A high-resolution phase-locked loop generates an output
clock (CLK) through a post-divider. The CLK frequency is
ratiometrically derived from the VCXO frequency. The
locking of the CLK frequency to other system reference
frequencies can eliminate unpredictable artifacts in video
systems and reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) due
to frequency harmonic stacking.

3.1 Voltage-Controlled Crystal Oscillator (VCXO)
The VCXO provides a tunable, low-jitter frequency
reference for the rest of the FS6128 system components.
Loading capacitance for the crystal is internal to the
FS6128. No external components (other than the resonator
itself) are required for operation of the VCXO.
Continuous fine-tuning of the VCXO frequency is
accomplished by varying the voltage on the XTUNE pin.
The value of this voltage controls the effective capacitance
presented to the crystal. The actual amount that this load
capacitance change will alter the oscillator frequency
depends on the characteristics of the crystal as well as the
oscillator circuit itself.
It is important that the crystal load capacitance is specified
correctly to “center” the tuning range. See Table 5.
A simple formula to obtain the “pulling” capability of a
crystal oscillator is:
where:
C0= the shunt (or holder) capacitance of the crystal
C1= the motional capacitance of the crystal
CL1 and CL2 = the two extremes (minimum and maximum)
of the applied load capacitance presented by the
FS6128.
EXAMPLE: A crystal with the following parameters is used:
C1= 0.025pF and C0= 6pF. Using the minimum and
maximum CL1 = 10pF, and CL2 = 20pF, the tuning range
(peak-to-peak) is:
3.2 Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
The on-chip PLL is a standard frequency- and phaselocked
loop architecture. The PLL multiplies the reference oscillator
frequency to the desired output frequency by a ratio of
integers. The frequency multiplication is exact with a zero
synthesis error (unless otherwise specified).
