HMS=0: When the same ten Normal to Holdover to Normal mode changes occur and in each case Holdover mode
was entered for 2 seconds, then the overall MTIE would be 300 ns. As the delay value for the TIE corrector circuit is
not updated, there is no 13 ns measurement error at this point. The phase can still drift for 300 ns when the PLL is
in Holdover mode but when the PLL enters Normal mode again, the phase moves back to the original point so the
phase is not accumulated.

The DPLL of the ZL30109 consists of a phase detector, a limiter, a loop filter, a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO)
and a lock indicator, as shown in Figure 9. The data path from the phase detector to the limiter is tapped and routed
to the lock indicator that provides a lock indication which is output at the LOCK pin.
Phase Detector - the phase detector compares the virtual reference signal from the TIE corrector circuit with the
feedback signal and provides an error signal corresponding to the phase difference between the two. This error
signal is passed to the limiter circuit.
Limiter - the limiter receives the error signal from the phase detector and ensures that the DPLL responds to all
input transient conditions with a maximum output phase slope of 61 µs/s or 9.5 ms/s, see Table 2.
Loop Filter - the loop filter is similar to a first order low pass filter with a narrow or wide bandwidth suitable to
provide system synchronization or line card timing, see Table 2. The wide bandwidth can be used to closely track
the input reference in the presence of jitter or it can be temporarily enabled for fast locking to a new reference (1 s
lock time). For stability reasons, the loop filter bandwidth for 2 kHz and 8 kHz reference inputs is limited to a
maximum of 14 Hz and 58 Hz respectively.
Digitally Controlled Oscillator (DCO) - the DCO receives the limited and filtered signal from the loop filter, and
based on its value, generates a corresponding digital output signal. The synchronization method of the DCO is
dependent on the state of the ZL30109.
