MT9042C
Holdover Accuracy
Holdover accuracy is defined as the absolute
tolerance of an output clock signal, when it is not
locked to an external reference signal, but is
operating using storage techniques.
MT9042C, the storage value is determined while the
device is in Normal Mode and locked to an external
reference signal.
The absolute Master Clock (OSCi) accuracy of the
MT9042C does not affect Holdover accuracy, but the
change in OSCi accuracy while in Holdover Mode
does.
Capture Range
Also referred to as pull-in range. This is the input
frequency range over which the synchronizer must
be able to pull into synchronization. The MT9042C
capture range is equal to
accuracy of the master clock (OSCi). For example, a

Phase slope is measured in seconds per second and
is the rate at which a given signal changes phase

constant frequency and is nominally equal to the
value of the final output signal or final input signal.
Time Interval Error (TIE)
TIE is the time delay between a given timing signal
and an ideal timing signal.
Maximum Time Interval Error (MTIE)
MTIE is the maximum peak to peak delay between a
given timing signal and an ideal timing signal within a
particular observation period.

Phase Continuity
Phase continuity is the phase difference between a
given timing signal and an ideal timing signal at the
end of a particular observation period. Usually, the
given timing signal and the ideal timing signal are of
the same frequency. Phase continuity applies to the
output of the synchronizer after a signal disturbance
due to a reference switch or a mode change. The
observation period is usually the time from the
disturbance, to just after the synchronizer has settled
to a steady state.
In the case of the MT9042C, the output signal phase
continuity is maintained to within
instance (over one frame) of all reference switches
and all mode changes.

maximum phase slope requirement of 7.6ns/125us
(81ns/1.326ms).
Phase Lock Time
This is the time it takes the synchronizer to phase
lock to the input signal. Phase lock occurs when the
input signal and output signal are not changing in
phase with respect to each other (not including jitter).
Lock time is very difficult to determine because it is
affected by many factors which include:
i) initial input to output phase difference
ii) initial input to output frequency difference
iii) synchronizer loop filter
iv) synchronizer limiter
Although a short lock time is desirable, it is not
always possible to achieve due to other synchronizer
requirements.
performance is achieved with a lower frequency loop
filter which increases lock time. And better (smaller)
phase slope performance (limiter) results in longer
lock times. The MT9042C loop filter and limiter were
optimized to meet the AT&T TR62411 jitter transfer
and phase slope requirements.
