The PLL
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The PLL (Phase Locked Loop) includes the phase
detector, the VCSO, a feedback divider (labeled
“M Divider”), and a reference divider (“R Divider”).
The M902-01 is a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) based
clock generator that generates output clocks
synchronized to an input reference clock.
The feedback divider divides the VCSO output
frequency by a fixed value “M” to match the reference
frequency provided to the phase detector by the
reference divider.
The M902-01 combines the flexibility of a VCSO
(Voltage Controlled SAW Oscillator) with the stability of
a crystal oscillator.
Input Reference
By controlling the frequency and phase of the VCSO,
the phase detector precisely locks the frequency and
phase of the feedback divider output to that of the
reference divider output.
The input reference can either be an external, discrete
crystal or a stable external clock source such as a
packaged (temperature-compensated) crystal
oscillator.
The relationship between the VCSO output frequency,
the M Divider, the R Divider and the input reference
frequency is defined as follows:
• If an external crystal is used with the on-chip crystal
oscillator circuit (XTAL OSC), the external crystal
should be a parallel-resonant, fundamental mode
crystal. Apply it to the XTAL_1 / REF_IN and XTAL_2 input
pins. External crystal load trim capacitors are also
required. (See “Crystal Specifications” on pg. 4.)

For the M902-01-156.2500 (see “Ordering Information” on pg. 8):
• VCSO output frequency = 156.25MHz
• If an external LVCMOS/LVTTL clock source is used,
• Input reference frequency = 25MHz
apply it to the XTAL_1 / REF_IN input pin.
• M=25
• R= 4
In either case, the reference clock is supplied to the
phase detector of the PLL. The M902-01 includes a
reference divider that divides the input reference
frequency by a fixed value “R” and provides the result to
the phase detector.
Therefore, for the M902-01-156.2500:

External Clock Feed-through
The EXT_CLK pin provides an input for an external
single-ended clock that directly drives the LVPECL
clock outputs. This pin is intended for system debugging
and performance evaluation..
EN_EXT_CLK Logic 1 enables the EXT_CLK input.
Use Logic 0 for normal operation.
EXT_CLK
Apply an external LVCMOS/LVTTL clock source
for 0 to 200 MHz feed-through operation.
Leave inactive for normal operation.

Note 1: In applications where EXT_CLK is active while the SAW PLL
signal path is enabled, it is necessary to gate the EXT_CLK to
minimize jitter in the LVPECL output pairs. See the PCB Design
Guidelines for ICS SAW PLLs application note at
www.icst.com/products/appnotes/M000-AN-001.PCBdesign.pdf
STOP Clock
The STOP pin puts the output clock into a static condition.
Logic 1 Output clocks are static
Logic 0 Output clocks enabled for normal operation
