WEBENCH® Tools/LMH1983: how to generate 14.7456MhZ clkout1 from lmh1983?

Part Number: LMH1983
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMK03328, LMK03318

Tool/software: WEBENCH® Design Tools

Hi Sir/Madam,

  we are using lmh1983 with vcxo 27 MHZ. How can i generate clkout1 as 14.7456MHz?

1. Through i2c registers configuration can be generated if yes please provide the register details?

2. in hardware is any changes i have to do?

3.Loop Filter use and why?

  • Hello,

    I'm afraid it is not possible to produce this frequency. The closes you could do is using PLL4 to generate a frequency of 98.304 MHz / 2^n where n = 0 to 15. So if n = 3, you could have 12.288 MHz.

    For more flexible configurations, consider something like LMK03318 or LMK03328.

    we have gone through datasheet from that we understood that by programming i2c register R(0x29,0x2A) and N (0x2B,0x2C) we can generate required frequency Correct me if iam wrong

    1. Consider hin frequency as 15.625 Khz
    2.R and P as 1
    3. And by programming n register with the 944(0x3B0) i guess we can generate correct me if i am wrong?


    Fout = (Fin*N)/(R*P)

    Bu=y using the above Formula
  • Explain us Use of loop Filter?
  • Hello Jitendra,

    So if you have 15.625 kHz reference. R & P = 1. And N = 944. Then then you will produce 14.75 MHz. You would have to populate a 14.75 MHz VCXO for this to lock. And PLL2, 3, and 4 would not work because you're not using a 27 MHz VCXO.

    However above you requested 14.7456 MHz. If you chose a 14.7456 MHz VCXO or 29.4912 MHz VCXO. You could produce 14.7456 MHz provided you can solve the equation Fin / R * N = 14.7456 MHz or 29.4912 MHz. However the GCD(15.625 kHz, 14.7456 MHz) = 25 Hz. Which means your phase detector frequency would have to be 25 Hz, meaning R = 625 and N = 589824. But since N is only a 15 bit register this cannot be achieved. Even if it could, I have some concerns about operating with such a low phase detector frequency.

    Are you trying to lock to a video signal, and therefore a PLL such as LMK03318 or LMK03328 is not a good solution?
