FEMTOCLOCK® NG JITTER ATTENUATOR AND CLOCK SYNTHESIZER 8 REVISION 1 02/25/15
Test Mode: Output Frequency Margining
The 8V44N4614 supports a test operation by setting the TEST input
to logic high level. In test mode, the PLL allows to vary its center
frequency. While the input frequency stays constant, all outputs
change its frequency following the PLL frequency variation. The test
mode supports 19.53125ppm frequency steps and to a total
frequency variation range of ±507.8125ppm. To facilitate this test
mode, the fractional PLL feedback divider MT is used. MT consists of
an integer part (MINT) and a fractional part (MFRAC). The amount o
frequency variation can be configured by the content of the Test
Control SPI registers. Ta bl e 3 K illustrates the available settings.
Serial Control Port Description
The 8V44N4614 has a serial control port capable of responding as a
slave in an SPI configuration to allow read and write access to any of
the internal registers (Table 4A) for device programming or read back.
The SPI interface consists of the SPICLK (clock), MISO (serial data
output), MOSI (serial data input) and nCS (chip select) pins. See
Figure 1 for a supported SPI configuration the specific sections for
each register for details on meanings and default conditions.
SPI Mode Operation
During a SPI data transfer, data is shifted out serially from MISO and
shifted in serially from MOSI simultaneously. The SPI clock
synchronizes both transmitting and receiving of the two serial data
pins. A data transfer consists any integer multiple of 32 bits and is
always initiated by a SPI master on the bus.
If nCS is at logic high, the MISO data output is in high-impedance
state and the SPI interface of the 8V44N4614 is disabled.
Starting a data transfer requires nCS to set and hold at logic low level
during the entire transfer. SPI word (32 bit) and back-to-back
transfers of multiple words of 32 bits are supported, during multiple
transfers nCS can stay at logic low level.
Setting nCS = 0 will enable the MISO output and present the last bit
position of the shift register (D31) at that output. The first rising edge
of SPICLK will transfer the bit applied to the MOSI input into the first
bit, (bit position D0) of the internal shift register and the following
SPICLK falling edge will output the next bit of the internal shift register
to the MISO output. Each SPICLK cycle will further input one bit to
MOSI, shift the content of the shift register by one position and
present the last bit to the MISO output. With a total of 32 SPICLK
cycles, 32 bit are transferred from the master to the 8V44N4614 slave
and also 32 bit are transferred from the slave to the master. During
each transfer, the original data content of the internal shift register is
replaced by the data shifted in through the MOSI pin.
Internal register data is organized in SPI words of 32 bit. The first bit
presented by the SPI master in each transfer is the LSB (least
significant bit).
Write operation to a 8V44N4614 register: During a write transfer, a
SPI master transfers one or more words of 32 bits data into the
internal registers of the 8V44N4614. A write transfer must set the
direction bit R/Wn (D4) to 0 (Write) and D0 to D3 must contain the
4-bit register base address A[0:3]. Bits D5 to 31 contain 27 bit of
payload data, which is written into the base register addressed by
A[0:3] at the end of the write transfer. The word format of the 32-bit
word in the shift register is shown in Table 3L. Each transferred SPI
word writes the information to four internal 8-bit registers at once. The
8-bit registers in the 8V44N4614 have been organized so that the 5
address + direction bits in each 32-bit base register row are not used
for data transfer (only 27 bits are used). Each base address supports
4 registers at the byte offsets 00, 01, 10 and 11.
