PRODUCTION DATA.
When in holdover mode, PLL1 will run in open-loop and the DAC will set the CPout1 voltage. If Fixed CPout1 mode is used, then the output of the DAC will be a voltage dependant upon the MAN_DAC register. If Tracked CPout1 mode is used, then the output of the DAC will be the voltage at the CPout1 pin before holdover mode was entered. When using Tracked mode and MAN_DAC_EN = 1, during holdover the DAC value is loaded with the programmed value in MAN_DAC, not the tracked value.
When in Tracked CPout1 mode, the DAC has a worst-case tracking error of ±2 LSBs once PLL1 tuning voltage is acquired. The step size is approximately 3.2 mV, therefore the VCXO frequency error during holdover mode caused by the DAC tracking accuracy is ±6.4 mV × Kv, where Kv is the tuning sensitivity of the VCXO in use. Therefore, the accuracy of the system when in holdover mode in ppm is:
Example: consider a system with a 19.2-MHz clock input, a 153.6-MHz VCXO with a Kv of 17 kHz/V. The accuracy of the system in holdover in ppm is:
Take this frequency error into account when determining the allowable frequency error window to cause holdover mode to exit.
