3.0 Functional Bl ock Descripti on
3.1 Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
The on-chip PLL is a standard frequency- and phase-
lock ed loop archi tec tur e. The PLL multiplies the refer enc e
oscillator to the desired frequency by a ratio of integers.
The frequency multiplication is exact with a zero synthe-
sis error.
3.2 Voltage-Controlled Crystal
Oscillator (VCXO)
The VCXO provides a tunable, low-jitter frequency refer-
ence for the rest of the FS6146 system components.
Loading capacitance for the crystal is internal to the
FS6146. No external components (other than the crystal
resonator itself) are required for operation of the VCXO.
Continuous fine-tuning of the VCXO frequency is accom-
plished by varying the voltage on the XTUNE pin.
The oscillator operates the crystal resonator in the paral-
lel-reso nant mode. Cr ystal warpin g, or the “pul ling” of the
crystal oscillation frequency, is accomplished by altering
the eff ective load ca pacitance presented to the crystal b y
the oscillator circuit. T he actual amount that changin g the
load capacitance alters the oscillator frequency will be
dependent o n the charac teristics of the cr ystal as well as
the oscillator circuit itself.
Specifically, the m otional capacitance of the cr ystal (usu-
ally referr ed to by cr ystal m anufactur ers as C1), the st atic
capacitance of the crystal (C0), and the load capacitance
(CL) of the oscillator determine the “warping” or “pulling”
capability of the crystal in the oscillator circuit.
A simple formula to obtain the warping capability of a
crystal oscillator is:
