3.0 Functional Bl ock Descripti on
3.1 Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
The on-chip PLL is a standard frequency- and phase-
lock ed loop archi tec tur e. The PLL multip lies the ref er ence
oscillator to the desired frequency by a ratio of integers.
The frequency multiplication is exact with a zero synthe-
sis error.
3.2 Voltage-Controlled Crystal
Oscillator (VCXO)
The VCXO provides a tunable, low-jitter frequency refer-
ence for the rest of the FS6128 system components.
Loading capacitance for the crystal is internal to the
FS6128. No external components (other than the reso-
nator itself) are required for operation of the VCXO.
Continuous fine-tuning of the VCXO f requency is accom -
plished by varying the voltage on the XTUNE pin. The
value of this voltage controls the effective capacitance
presented by the VCXO to the crystal.
W hen using a crystal with a VCXO, it is im portant that th e
crystal load capacitance (as specified in Table 4: Oper-
ating Conditions be matched to the load capacitance as
presented by the VCXO. The crystal must be specified
with the correct load capacitance to obtain the maximum
tuning range.
The oscillator operates the crystal resonator in the paral-
lel-reso nant mode. Cr ystal warpin g, or the “pul ling” of the
crystal oscillation frequency, is accomplished by altering
the eff ective load ca pacitance presented to the crystal b y
the oscillator circuit. T he actual amount that changin g the
load capacitance alters the oscillator frequency will be
dependent o n the charac teristics of the cr ystal as well as
the oscillator circuit itself.
Specifically, the motional capacitance of the crystal (usu-
ally referr ed to by cr ystal m anufacturer s as C1), the st atic
capacitance of the crystal (C0), and the load capacitance
(CL) of the oscillator determine the warping capability of
the crystal in the oscillator circuit.
A simple formula to obtain the warping capability of a
crystal oscillator is:
