Because the external XO clock input is used as the reference input for the VCO calibration, the XO input amplitude and frequency must be stable before the start of VCO calibration to ensure successful PLL lock and output start-up. If the XO clock is not stable prior to VCO calibration, the VCO calibration can fail and prevent PLL lock and output clock start-up.
If the XO clock has a slow start-up time or glitches on power-up (due to a slow or non-monotonic power supply ramp, for example),TI recommends to delay the start of VCO calibration until after the XO is stable. This could be achieved by delaying the PDN low-to-high transition until after the XO clock has stabilized using one of the methods described in Figure 66. It is also possible to issue a device soft-reset after the XO clock has stabilized to manually trigger the VCO calibration and PLL start-up sequence.
