LM49350: PLL minimum reference clk frequency

Part Number: LM49350


Hi,

what is the minimum reference clk freq for the PLL.

On Datasheet Figure 55. freq range for M diver is 0.5-50Mhz but Phase comparator freq. range is 0.7->5Mhz.

  • Erkka, 

    The PLL input must be 0.5-50Mhz, and the Phase Comparator frequency must be 0.7 - 5Mhz,   and in between there is the M divider. 

    lets take an example from the Datasheet:

    the final line of Table 7 shows a PLL input of 19.8Mhz, 

    the M value is 16

    The N value is 147

    the P Value is 16.5

    19.8Mhz / 16 = 1.2375Mhz.   This is the phase comparator frequency. 

    multiply this result by N/P  and you get Fout = 11.025Mhz.  

    does that make sense?

    best regards,
