nP_LOAD input is initially LOW. The data on inputs M0 through
M8 is passed directly to the M divider. On the LOW-to-HIGH tran-
sition of the nP_LOAD input, the data is latched and the M divider
remains loaded until the next LOW transition on nP_LOAD or until
a serial event occurs. As a result, the M bits can be hardwired to
set the M divider to a specific default state that will automatically
occur during power-up. In parallel mode, the N output divider is
set to 2. In serial mode, the N output divider can be set for either
÷
1,
÷
2,
÷
4 or
÷
8. The relationship between the VCO frequency,
the crystal frequency and the M divider is defined as follows:
fVCO =16
The M value and the required values of M0 through M8 are shown
in Table 3B, Programmable VCO Frequency Function Table. Valid
M values for which the PLL will achieve lock for a 16MHz refer-
ence are defined as 125
≤
M
≤
350. The frequency out
is defined as follows:
fout = fVCO
Serial operation occurs when nP_LOAD is HIGH and S_LOAD
is LOW. The shift register is loaded by sampling the S_DATA bits
with the rising edge of S_CLOCK. The contents of the shift regis-
ter are loaded into the M divider and N output divider when
S_LOAD transitions from LOW-to-HIGH. The M divide and N out-
put divide values are latched on the HIGH-to-LOW transition of
S_LOAD. If S_LOAD is held HIGH, data at the S_DATA input is
passed directly to the M divider and N output divider on each
rising edge of S_CLOCK.

NOTE: The functional description that follows describes
operation using a 16MHz crystal. Valid PLL loop divider
values for different crystal or input frequencies are defined
in the Input Frequency Characteristics, Table 5, NOTE 1.
The ICS84314-02 features a fully integrated PLL and there-
fore requires no external components for setting the loop
bandwidth. A parallel-resonant, fundamental crystal is used
as the input to the on-chip oscillator. The output of the os-
cillator is divided by 16 prior to the phase detector. With a
16MHz crystal, this provides a 1MHz reference frequency.
The VCO of the PLL operates over a range of 250MHz to
700MHz. The output of the M divider is also applied to the
phase detector.
The phase detector and the M divider force the VCO output
frequency to be 2M times the reference frequency by ad-
justing the VCO control voltage. Note that for some values
of M (either too high or too low), the PLL will not achieve
lock. The output of the VCO is scaled by a divider prior to
being sent to each of the LVPECL output buffers. The divider
provides a 50% output duty cycle.
The programmable features of the ICS84314-02 support
two input modes to program the M divider. The two input
operational modes are parallel and serial.
