LMH1983: question

Part Number: LMH1983

Hi Experts,

My customer has question as follows Would you please answer them?
1. Do you have a spec for VCXO? Customer would like to use Pull Range = +/-280ppm. Is it resonable for LMH1983?

2. According to Figure 28 in datasheet, reference clock is input to Hin(Hsync). Is it possible to synchronize the clocks by Hsync only, correct?

3. Regarding LOR;
      3-1. Datasheet p17 stated "Given this is a divide-by-two counter, the time to declare LOR is: (2 x 32767) / (27E6) = 2.4 ms", p17(8.3.8 LOR Determination)".
             Is this comment for when only Hsync is lost, correct?
      3-2. Datasheet p17 stated "On the other hand, when the PLL is locked and there are missing HSync pulses, LOR is set when the internal counter is greater than the following: (Number of 27 MHz clocks in one Hsync pulse + 3) x (LOR_THRES + 1)".
             Is this comment for when only Hsync is missing, correct?

      3-3. Datasheet p3 stated "When locked to reference, an internal 10-bit ADC will track the loop filter control voltage. When a loss of reference (LOR) occurs, the LMH1983 can be programmed to hold the control voltage to maintain output accuracy within ±0.5 ppm (typical) of the previous reference."
              The typical accuracy of output frequency is +/-0.5%. What is the accuracy of max value?

Best Regards,
Fujiwara

  • Hello, 

    On question 1, I refer you to section 9.2.1.1.1: 

    So +/-280 ppm is not recommended. 

    2. Figure 28 demonstrates a use case where only Hsync signal is provided and devices achieves genlock. What is meant by synchronized? 

    On 3-1 and 3-2, your understanding is correct. 

    On 3-3 we do not have a max value. We only provide a typical value of +/-0.5ppm (you have +./-0.5% up there). 

    Thanks and regards,

    Amin
