In APLL-only mode, the external XO input source determines the free-run frequency stability and accuracy of the output clocks. The BAW VCO1 determines the APLL1 output clock phase noise and jitter performance over the 12kHz to 20MHz integration band, regardless of the frequency and jitter of the XO input.
The principle of operation for APLL-only mode after power-on reset and initialization is as follows. If APLL2 is in Cascaded mode as shown in Figure 7-5, VCO1 is held at the nominal center frequency of 2.5GHz while APLL2 locks. Then APLL1 locks the VCO1 frequency to the external XO input and operates in free-run mode. The DPLL blocks are not used and do not affect the APLLs. VCO2 tracks the VCO1 domain. Cascading APLL2 provides a high-frequency, ultra-low-jitter reference clock from VCO1 to minimize the APLL2 in-band phase noise or jitter impact that occurs otherwise if the reference of the APLL2 is from a XO/TCXO/OCXO with low frequency, high phase noise floor, or both.
If APLL2 is not cascaded as shown in Figure 7-4, VCO2 locks to the XO input after initialization and operate independent of the DPLL/APLL1 domain.
