The prioritization of clock inputs for automatic switching is shown in
Table 14. This priority is hardwired in the
devices.
At power-on or reset, the valid CKINn with the highest priority (1 being the highest priority) is automatically
selected. If no valid CKINn is available, the device suppresses the output clocks and waits for a valid CKINn signal.
If the currently selected CKINn goes into an alarm state, the next valid CKINn in priority order is selected. If no valid
CKINn is available, the device enters holdover.
Operation in revertive and non- revertive is different when a signal becomes valid:
Revertive (AUTOSEL = H):
The device constantly monitors all CKINn. If a CKINn with a higher priority than
the current active CKINn becomes valid, the active CKINn is changed to the
CKINn with the highest priority.
Non-revertive (AUTOSEL = M): The active clock does not change until there is an alarm on the active clock. The
device will then select the highest priority CKINn that is valid. Once in holdover,
the device will switch to the first CKINn that becomes valid.
5.4. Alarms
Summary alarms are available to indicate the overall status of the input signals. Alarm outputs stay high until all the
alarm conditions for that alarm output are cleared.
5.4.1. Loss-of-Signal
The device has loss-of-signal circuitry that continuously monitors CKINn for missing pulses. The LOS circuitry
generates an internal LOSn_INT output signal that is processed with other alarms to generate LOS1 and LOS2.
An LOS condition on CKIN1 causes the internal LOS1_INT alarm to become active. Similarly, an LOS condition on
CKINn causes the LOSn_INT alarm to become active. Once a LOSn_INT alarm is asserted on one of the input
clocks, it remains asserted until that input clock is validated over a designated time period. The time to clear
the same input clock is detected during the validation time then the alarm remains asserted and the validation time
starts over.
5.4.1.1. LOS Algorithm
The LOS circuitry divides down each input clock to produce an 8 kHz to 2 MHz signal. The LOS circuitry over
samples this divided down input clock using a 40 MHz clock to search for extended periods of time without input
clock transitions. If the LOS monitor detects twice the normal number of samples without a clock edge, a
the LOS monitor to trigger.
5.4.1.2. Lock Detect
The PLL lock detection algorithm indicates the lock status on the LOL output pin. The algorithm works by
continuously monitoring the phase of the input clock in relation to the phase of the feedback clock. If the time
between two consecutive phase cycle slips is greater than the retrigger time, the PLL is in lock. The LOL output
active state during an internal PLL calibration. The retrigger time is automatically set based on the PLL closed loop
