PL611s-17
1.8V-3.3V PicoPLL
TM
KHz to MHz Programmable Clock
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
PL611s-17 is a highly featured, very flexible, advanced programmable PLL design for high performance, low-
power, small form-factor applications. The PL611s-17 accepts a reference clock input of 10kHz to 200MHz and is
capable of producing two outputs up to 125MHz. This flexible design allows the PL611s-17 to deliver any PLL
generated frequency, F
REF
(Ref Clk) frequency or F
REF
/(2*P) to CLK0 and/or CLK1. Some of the design features
of the PL611s-17 are mentioned below:
PLL Programming
The PLL in the PL611s-17 is fully programmable.
The PLL is equipped with an 7-bit input frequency
divider (R-Counter), and an 16-bit VCO frequency
feedback loop divider (M-Counter). The output of
the PLL is transferred to a 4-bit post VCO divider (P-
Counter). The output frequency is determined by
the following formula [F
OUT
= F
REF
* (M / R) / (2 * P) ].
Clock Output (CLK0)
CLK0 is the main clock output. The PL611s-17 can
also be programmed to provide a second clock
output, CLK1, on the programmable I/O pin (see
OE/PDB/FSEL/CLK1 pin description below). The
output of CLK0 can be configured as the PLL output
(F
VCO
/(2*P)), F
REF
(Ref Clk Frequency) output, or
F
REF
/(2*P) output. The output drive level can be
programmed to Low Drive (4mA), Standard Drive
(8mA) or High Drive (16mA). The maximum output
frequency is 125MHz.
Clock Output (CLK1)
The CLK1 feature allows the PL611s-17 to have an
additional clock output. This output can be
programmed to one of the following:
F
REF
- Reference ( Ref Clk ) Frequency
F
REF
/ 2
CLK0
CLK0 / 2
Power-Down Control (PDB)
The Power Down (PDB) feature allows the user to put
the PL611s-17 into “Sleep Mode”. When activated
(logic ‘0’), PDB ‘Disables the PLL, the oscillator
circuitry, counters, and all other active circuitry. In
Power Down mode the IC consumes <10 A of power.
The PDB pin incorporates a 10M pull up resistor
giving a default condition of logic “1”.
The PDB feature can be programmed to allow the
output to float (Hi Z), or to operate in the ‘Active low’
mode.
Frequency Select (FSEL)
The Frequency Select (FSEL) feature allows the
PL611s-17 to switch between two pre-programmed
outputs allowing the device “On the Fly” frequency
switching. The FSEL pin incorporates a 10M pull
up resistor giving a default condition of logic “1”.
Output Enable (OE)
The Output Enable feature allows the user to enable
and disable the clock output(s) by toggling the OE
pin. The OE pin incorporates a 10M pull up resistor
giving a default condition of logic “1”.
The OE feature can be programmed to allow the
output to float (Hi Z), or to operate in the ‘Active low’
mode.
