JAJSFA5E September 2015 – April 2018 LMK03318
PRODUCTION DATA.
For this example, when using the WEBENCH Clock Architect Tool, the reference would have been manually entered as 25 MHz according to input frequency requirements. Enter the desired output frequencies and click on 'Generate Solutions'. Select LMK03318 from the solution list.
From the simulation page of the WEBENCH Clock Architect Tool, it can be seen that to maximize phase detector frequencies, the PLL's R and M dividers are set to 1, doublers are disabled and N divider is set to 200. This results in a VCO frequency of 5 GHz. The tool also tries to select maximum possible value for the PLL post divider and for this example, it is set to 2. At this point the design meets all input and output frequency requirements and it is possible to design a loop filter for system and simulate performance on the clock outputs. However, consider also the following:
