LMK01000 Family 1.6 GHz High Performance Clock Buffer,

Divider, and Distributor

General Description

The LMK01000 family provides an easy way to divide and

distribute high performance clock signals throughout the sys-

tem. These devices provide best-in-class noise performance

and are designed to be pin-to-pin and footprint compatible

with LMK03000/LMK02000 family of precision clock condi-

tioners.

The LMK01000 family features two programmable clock in-

puts (CLKin0 and CLKin1) that allow the user to dynamically

switch between different clock domains.

Each device features 8 clock outputs with independently pro-

grammable dividers and delay adjustments. The outputs of

the device can be easily synchronized by an external pin

(SYNC*).

Note 11: Applies to CLKuWire, DATAuWire, and LEuWire.

Serial Data Timing Diagram

30042803

Data bits set on the DATAuWire signal are clocked into a shift register, MSB first, on each rising edge of the CLKuWire signal. On

the rising edge of the LEuWire signal, the data is sent from the shift register to the addressed register determined by the LSB bits.

After the programming is complete the CLKuWire, DATAuWire, and LEuWire signals should be returned to a low state. The slew

rate of CLKuWire, DatauWire, and LEuWire should be at least 30 V/µs.

LMK01000 Family

1.0 Functional Description

The LMK01000 family includes a programmable divider, a

phase synchronization circuit, a programmable delay, a clock

output mux, and an LVDS or LVPECL output buffer in each

channel. This allows multiple integer-related and phase-ad-

justed copies of the reference to be distributed to up to eight

system components.

This family of devices comes in a 48-pin LLP package that is

pin-to-pin and footprint compatible with other LMK02000/

LMK03000 family of clocking devices.

1.1 BIAS PIN

To properly use the device, bypass Bias (pin 36) with a low

leakage 1 µF capacitor connected to Vcc. This is important

for low noise performance.

1.2 CLKin0/CLKin0* and CLKin1/CLKin1 INPUT PORTS

The device can be driven either by the CLKin0/CLKin0* or the

CLKin1/CLKin1* pins. The choice of which one to use is soft-

ware selectable. These input ports must be AC coupled. To

drive these inputs in a single ended fashion, AC ground the

complementary input.

When choosing AC coupling capacitors for clock signals 0.1

µF is a good starting point, but lower frequencies may require

higher value capacitors while higher frequencies may use

lower value capacitors.

1.3 CLKout DELAYS

Each individual clock output includes a delay adjustment.

Clock output delay registers (CLKoutX_DLY) support a 150

ps step size and range from 0 to 2250 ps of total delay. When

the delay is enabled it adds to the output noise floor; the total

additive noise is 10(log( 10^(Output Noise Floor/10) + 10^

(Delay Noise Floor/10) ). Refer to the Typical Performance

Characteristics plots for the Delay Noise Floor information.

1.4 LVDS/LVPECL OUTPUTS

Each LVDS or LVPECL output may be disabled individually

by programming the CLKoutX_EN bits. All the outputs may

be disabled simultaneously by pulling the GOE pin low or

programming EN_CLKout_Global to 0.

1.5 GLOBAL CLOCK OUTPUT SYNCHRONIZATION

The SYNC* pin synchronizes the clock outputs. When the

SYNC* pin is held in a logic low state, the divided outputs are

also held in a logic low state. When the SYNC* pin goes high,

the divided clock outputs are activated and will transition to a

high state simultaneously. Clocks in the Bypassed state are

not affected by SYNC* and are always synchronized with the

divided outputs.

The SYNC* pin must be held low for greater than one clock

cycle of the Frequency Input port, also known as the distribu-

tion path. Once this low event has been registered, the out-

puts will not reflect the low state for four more cycles. When

the SYNC* pin becomes high, the outputs will not simultane-

ously transition high until four more distribution path clock

cycles have passed. See the SYNC* timing diagram for fur-

ther detail. In the timing diagram below the clocks are pro-

grammed as CLKout0_MUX = Bypassed, CLKout1_MUX =

Divided, CLKout1_DIV = 2, CLKout2_MUX = Divided, and

CLKout2_DIV = 4.

SYNC* Timing Diagram

30042804

The SYNC* pin provides an internal pull-up resistor as shown

on the functional block diagram. If the SYNC* pin is not ter-

minated externally the clock outputs will operate normally. If

the SYNC* function is not used, clock output synchronization

is not guaranteed.

1.6 CONNECTION TO LVDS OUTPUTS

LMK01000 and LMK01010 LVDS outputs can be connected

in AC or DC coupling configurations; however, in DC coupling

configuration, proper conditions must be presented by the

LVDS receiver. To ensure such conditions, we recommend

the usage of LVDS receivers without fail-safe or internal input

bias such as National Semiconductor's DS90LV110T. The

LMK01000 family LVDS drivers provide the adequate DC bias

for the LVDS receiver. We recommend AC coupling when

using LVDS receivers with fail-safe or internal input bias.

1.7 CLKout OUTPUT STATES

Each clock output may be individually enabled with the

CLKoutX_EN bits. Each individual output enable control bit is

gated with the Global Output Enable input pin (GOE) and the

Global Output Enable bit (EN_CLKout_Global).

All clock outputs can be disabled simultaneously if the GOE

pin is pulled low by an external signal or EN_CLKout_Global

is set to 0.

1 1 Low Low

Don't care 0 Don't care Off

0 Don't care Don't care Off

Connect Enabled

When an LVDS output is in the Off state, the outputs are at a

voltage of approximately 1.5 volts. When an LVPECL output

is in the Off state, the outputs are at a voltage of approximately

1 volt.

1.8 GLOBAL OUTPUT ENABLE

The GOE pin provides an internal pull-up resistor. If it is not

terminated externally, the clock output states are determined

by the Clock Output Enable bits (CLKoutX_EN) and the

EN_CLKout_Global bit.

1.9 POWER-ON-RESET

When supply voltage to the device increases monotonically

from ground to Vcc, the power-on-reset circuit sets all regis-

ters to their default values, which are specified in the General

Programming Information section. Voltage should be applied

to all Vcc pins simultaneously.

LMK01000 Family

2.0 General Programming

Information

The LMK01000 family device is programmed using several

32-bit registers. The registers consist of a data field and an

address field. The last 4 register bits, ADDR[3:0] form the ad-

dress field. The remaining 28 bits form the data field DATA

[27:0].

During programming, LEuWire is low and serial data is

clocked in on the rising edge of clock (MSB first). When

LEuWire goes high, data is transferred to the register bank

selected by the address field. Only registers R0 to R7 and R14

need to be programmed for proper device operation.

It is required to program register R14.

2.1 RECOMMENDED PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE

The recommended programming sequence involves pro-

gramming R0 with the reset bit set (RESET = 1) to ensure the

device is in a default state. It is not necessary to program R0

again, but if R0 is programmed again, the reset bit is pro-

grammed clear (RESET = 0). An example programming se-

quence is shown below.

•Program R0 with the reset bit set (RESET = 1). This

ensures the device is in a default state. When the reset bit

is set in R0, the other R0 bits are ignored.

—If R0 is programmed again, the reset bit is programmed

clear (RESET = 0).

•Program R0 to R7 as necessary with desired clocks with

appropriate enable, mux, divider, and delay settings.

•Program R14 with global clock output bit, power down

setting.

—R14 must be programmed in accordance with the

2.2).

2.3 REGISTER R0 to R7

Registers R0 through R7 control the eight clock outputs. Reg-

ister R0 controls CLKout0, Register R1 controls CLKout1, and

so on. There is one additional bit in register R0 called RESET.

Aside from this, the functions of these bits are identical. The

X in CLKoutX_MUX, CLKoutX_DIV, CLKoutX_DLY, and

CLKoutX_EN denote the actual clock output which may be

from 0 to 7.

2.3.1 Reset Bit -- R0 only

This bit is only in register R0. The use of this bit is optional

and it should be set to '0' if not used. Setting this bit to a '1'

forces all registers to their power-on-reset condition and

therefore automatically clears this bit. If this bit is set, all other

R0 bits are ignored and R0 needs to be programmed again if

used with its proper values and RESET = 0.

2.3.2 CLKoutX_MUX[1:0] -- Clock Output Multiplexers

These bits control the Clock Output Multiplexer for each clock

output. Changing between the different modes changes the

blocks in the signal path and therefore incurs a delay relative

to the Bypassed mode. The different MUX modes and asso-

ciated delays are listed below.

(In addition to the

2.3.3 CLKoutX_DIV[7:0] -- Clock Output Dividers

These bits control the clock output divider value. In order for

these dividers to be active, the respective CLKoutX_MUX

(See Section 2.3.2) bit must be set to either "Divided" or "Di-

vided and Delayed" mode. After all the dividers are pro-

gramed, the SYNC* pin must be used to ensure that all edges

of the clock outputs are aligned (See Section 1.5). By adding

the divider block to the output path a fixed delay of approxi-

mately 100 ps is incurred.

The actual Clock Output Divide value is twice the binary value

programmed as listed in the table below.

2.3.4 CLKoutX_DLY[3:0] -- Clock Output Delays

These bits control the delay stages for each clock output. In

order for these delays to be active, the respective

CLKoutX_MUX (See Section 2.3.2) bit must be set to either

"Delayed" or "Divided and Delayed" mode. By adding the de-

lay block to the output path a fixed delay of approximately 400

ps is incurred in addition to the delay shown in the table below.

2.3.5 CLKoutX_EN bit -- Clock Output Enables

These bits control whether an individual clock output is en-

Enabling this bit sets all clock outputs in voltage boost mode

which increases the voltage at these outputs. This can im-

prove the noise floor performance of the output, but also

increases current consumption, and can cause the outputs to

be too high to meet the LVPECL/LVDS specifications.

From the above table, the current can be calculated in any

configuration. For example, the current for the entire device

with 1 LVDS (CLKout0) & 1 LVPECL (CLKout4) output in By-

passed mode can be calculated by adding up the following

blocks: core current, low clock buffer, high clock buffer, one

LVDS output buffer current, and one LVPECL output buffer

current. There will also be one LVPECL output drawing emit-

ter current, but some of the power from the current draw is

dissipated in the external 120 Ω resistors which doesn't add

to the power dissipation budget for the device. If delays or

divides are switched in, then the additional current for these

stages needs to be added as well.

For power dissipated by the device, the total current entering

the device is multiplied by the voltage at the device minus the

power dissipated in any emitter resistors connected to any of

the LVPECL outputs. If no emitter resistors are connected to

the LVPECL outputs, this power will be 0 watts. For example,

in the case of 1 LVDS (CLKout0) & 1 LVPECL (CLKout4) op-

erating at 3.3 volts for LMK01000, we calculate 3.3 V × (10 +

9 + 9 + 17.8 + 40) mA = 3.3 V × 85.8 mA = 283.1 mW. Because

the LVPECL output (CLKout4) has the emitter resistors

hooked up and the power dissipated by these resistors is 60

mW, the total power dissipation is 283.1 mW - 60 mW = 223.1

mW. When the LVPECL output is active, ~1.9 V is the average

voltage on each output as calculated from the LVPECL Voh

& Vol typical specification. Therefore the power dissipated in

each emitter resistor is approximately (1.9 V)2 / 120 Ω = 30

mW. When the LVPECL output is disabled, the emitter resis-

tor voltage is ~1.07 V. Therefore the power dissipated in each

emitter resistor is approximately (1.07 V)2 / 120 Ω = 9.5 mW.

3.3 THERMAL MANAGEMENT

Power consumption of the LMK01000 family device can be

high enough to require attention to thermal management. For

reliability and performance reasons the die temperature

should be limited to a maximum of 125 °C. That is, as an es-

timate, TA (ambient temperature) plus device power con-

sumption times θJA should not exceed 125 °C.

The package of the device has an exposed pad that provides

the primary heat removal path as well as excellent electrical

grounding to the printed circuit board. To maximize the re-

moval of heat from the package a thermal land pattern in-

cluding multiple vias to a ground plane must be incorporated

on the PCB within the footprint of the package. The exposed

pad must be soldered down to ensure adequate heat con-

duction out of the package. A recommended land and via

pattern is shown in Figure 2. More information on soldering

LLP packages can be obtained at www.national.com.

30042873

FIGURE 2. Recommended Land and Via Pattern

To minimize junction temperature it is recommended that a

simple heat sink be built into the PCB (if the ground plane

layer is not exposed). This is done by including a copper area

of about 2 square inches on the opposite side of the PCB from

the device. This copper area may be plated or solder coated

to prevent corrosion but should not have conformal coating (if

possible), which could provide thermal insulation. The vias

shown in Figure 2 should connect these top and bottom cop-

per layers and to the ground layer. These vias act as “heat

pipes” to carry the thermal energy away from the device side

of the board to where it can be more effectively dissipated.

3.4 TERMINATION AND USE OF CLOCK OUTPUTS

When terminating clock drivers keep in mind these guidelines

for optimum phase noise and jitter performance:

•Transmission line theory should be followed for good

impedance matching to prevent reflections.

•Clock drivers should be presented with the proper loads.

—LVDS drivers are current drivers and require a closed

current loop.

—LVPECL drivers are open emitter and require a DC

path to ground.

•Receivers should be presented with a signal biased to

their specified DC bias level (common mode voltage) for

proper operation. Some receivers have self-biasing inputs

that automatically bias to the proper voltage level. In this

case, the signal should normally be AC coupled.

It is possible to drive a non-LVPECL or non-LVDS receiver

with a LVDS or LVPECL driver as long as the above guide-

lines are followed. Check the datasheet of the receiver or

input being driven to determine the best termination and cou-

pling method to be sure the receiver is biased at the optimum

DC voltage (common mode voltage). For example, when driv-

ing the OSCin/OSCin* input of the LMK01000 family, OSCin/

OSCin* should be AC coupled because OSCin/ OSCin* bi-

ases the signal to the proper DC level, see Figure 1. This is

only slightly different from the AC coupled cases described

(See Section 3.4.2) because the DC blocking capacitors are

placed between the termination and the OSCin/OSCin* pins,

but the concept remains the same, which is the receiver (OS-

Cin/ OSCin*) set the input to the optimum DC bias voltage

(common mode voltage), not the driver.

3.4.1 Termination for DC Coupled Differential Operation

For DC coupled operation of an LVDS driver, terminate with

100 Ω as close as possible to the LVDS receiver as shown in

Figure 3. To ensure proper LVDS operation when DC cou-

pling it is recommend to use LVDS receivers without fail-safe

or internal input bias such as National Semiconductor's

DS90LV110T. The LVDS driver will provide the DC bias level

for the LVDS receiver. For operation with LMK01000 family

LVDS drivers it is recommend to use AC coupling with LVDS

receivers that have an internal DC bias voltage. Some fail-

safe circuitry will present a DC bias (common mode voltage)

which will prevent the LVDS driver from working correctly.

This precaution does not apply to the LVPECL drivers.

30042820

FIGURE 3. Differential LVDS Operation, DC Coupling

For DC coupled operation of an LVPECL driver, terminate

with 50 Ω to Vcc - 2 V as shown in Figure 4. Alternatively

terminate with a Thevenin equivalent circuit (120 Ω resistor

connected to Vcc and an 82 Ω resistor connected to ground

with the driver connected to the junction of the 120 Ω and 82

Ω resitors) as shown in Figure 5 for Vcc = 3.3 V.

3.4.2 Termination for AC Coupled Differential Operation

AC coupling allows for shifting the DC bias level (common

mode voltage) when driving different receiver standards.

Since AC coupling prevents the driver from providing a DC

bias voltage at the receiver it is important to ensure the re-

ceiver is biased to its ideal DC level.

When driving LVDS receivers with an LVDS driver, the signal

may be AC coupled by adding DC blocking capacitors, how-

ever the proper DC bias point needs to be established at the

receiver. One way to do this is with the termination circuitry in

Figure 6.

30042823

FIGURE 6. Differential LVDS Operation, AC Coupling

LVPECL drivers require a DC path to ground. When AC cou-

pling an LVPECL signal use 120 Ω emitter resistors close to

the LVPECL driver to provide a DC path to ground as shown

in Figure 10. For proper receiver operation, the signal should

be biased to the DC bias level (common mode voltage) spec-

ified by the receiver. The typical DC bias voltage (common

mode voltage) for LVPECL receivers is 2 V. A Thevenin

equivalent circuit (82 Ω resistor connected to Vcc and a 120

Ω resistor connected to ground with the driver connected to

the junction of the 82 Ω and 120 Ω resistors) is a valid termi-

nation as shown in Figure 7 for Vcc = 3.3 V. Note: this

Thevenin circuit is different from the DC coupled example in

Figure 5.

30042824

FIGURE 7. Differential LVPECL Operation, AC Coupling, Thevenin Equivalent

3.4.3 Termination for Single-Ended Operation

A balun can be used with either LVDS or LVPECL drivers to

convert the balanced, differential signal into an unbalanced,

single-ended signal.

It is possible to use an LVPECL driver as one or two separate

800 mV p-p signals. When DC coupling one of the LMK01000

family LVPECL drivers, the termination should still be 50 Ω to

Vcc - 2 V as shown in Figure 8. Again the Thevenin equivalent

circuit (120 Ω resistor connected to Vcc and an 82 Ω resistor

connected to ground with the driver connected to the junction

17 www.national.com

LMK01000 Family

of the 120 Ω and 82 Ω resistors) is a valid termination as

shown in Figure 9 for Vcc = 3.3 V.

30042825

FIGURE 8. Single-Ended LVPECL Operation, DC

Coupling

30042826

FIGURE 9. Single-Ended LVPECL Operation, DC

Coupling, Thevenin Equivalent

When AC coupling an LVPECL driver use a 120 Ω emitter

resistor to provide a DC path to ground and ensure a 50 Ω

termination with the proper DC bias level for the receiver. The

typical DC bias voltage for LVPECL receivers is 2 V (See

Section 3.4.1). If the other driver is not used it should be ter-

minated with either a proper AC or DC termination. This latter

example of AC coupling a single-ended LVPECL signal can

be used to measure single-ended LVPECL performance us-

ing a spectrum analyzer or phase noise analyzer. When using

most RF test equipment no DC bias point (0 V DC) is expected

for safe and proper operation. The internal 50 Ω termination

the test equipment correctly terminates the LVPECL driver

being measured as shown in Figure 10. When using only one

LVPECL driver of a CLKoutX/CLKoutX* pair, be sure to prop-

erly terminated the unused driver.

Coupling

3.4.4 Conversion to LVCMOS Outputs

To drive an LVCMOS input with an LMK01000 family LVDS

or LVPECL output, an LVPECL/LVDS to LVCMOS converter

such as National Semiconductor's DS90LV018A,

DS90LV028A, DS90LV048A, etc. is required. For best noise

performance, LVPECL provides a higher voltage swing into

input of the converter.

3.5 OSCin INPUT

In addition to LVDS and LVPECL inputs, OSCin can also be

driven with a sine wave. The OSCin input can be driven sin-

gle-ended or differentially with sine waves. These configura-

tions are shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12.

30042828

FIGURE 11. Single-Ended Sine Wave Input

30042829

FIGURE 12. Differential Sine Wave Input

Figure 13 shows the recommended power level for sine wave

operation for both differential and single-ended sources over

frequency. The part will operate at power levels below the

recommended power level, but as power decreases the PLL

noise performance will degrade. The VCO noise performance

will remain constant. At the recommended power level the

PLL phase noise degradation from full power operation (8

dBm) is less than 2 dB.

3.6 MORE THAN EIGHT OUTPUTS WITH AN LMK01000

FAMILY DEVICE

The LMK01000 family device can be used in conjunction with

a LMK02000, LMK03000, LMK04000, or even another

LMK01000 device in order to produce more than 8 outputs.

When doing this, attention needs to be given to how the fre-

quencies are assigned for each output to eliminate synchro-

nization issues. Refer to AN-1864 for more details.

3.7 GLOBAL DELAY THROUGH AN LMK01000 FAMILY

DEVICE

The delay from CLKin to CLKout is determinsic, but can vary

based on the engaged delays and divides as discussed in

Section 2.3.2 for the CLKoutX_MUX bit. In addition, there can

be variations based on voltage, temperature, and frequency.

AN-1864 discusses this global delay in more detail.
