Synchronizing the Outputs—Sync Function
The
Outputs can be individually excluded from synchronization.
Synchronization consists of setting the nonexcluded outputs to
a preset set of static conditions and subsequently releasing these
outputs to continue clocking at the same instant with the preset
conditions applied. This allows for the alignment of the edges of
two or more outputs or for the spacing of edges according to the
coarse phase offset settings for two or more outputs.
Output synchronization is executed in several ways, as follows:
•
•
•
•

By forcing the SYNC pin low, then releasing it (manual sync).
By setting, then resetting, any one of the following three bits:
the soft sync bit (Register 0x230[0]), the soft reset bit
(Register 0x000[2] [mirrored]), and the power-down
distribution reference bit (Register 0x230[1]).
By executing synchronization of the outputs as part of the
chip power-up sequence.
By forcing the RESET pin low, then releasing it (chip reset).
By forcing the PD pin low, then releasing (chip power-down).
Following completion of a VCO calibration. An internal
SYNC signal is automatically asserted at the beginning of
a VCO calibration, then released upon its completion.

The most common way to execute the sync function is to use
the SYNC pin to do a manual synchronization of the outputs.
This requires a low-going signal on the SYNC pin, which is held
low and then released when synchronization is desired. The
timing of the sync operation is shown in
VCO divider) and
an uncertainty of up to one cycle of the clock at the input to the
channel divider due to the asynchronous nature of the SYNC
signal with respect to the clock edges inside the
delay from the
output clocking is between 14 and 15 cycles of clock at the channel
divider input, plus either one cycle of the VCO divider input
(see
Figure 42
Cycles are counted from the rising edge of the signal.
Another common way to execute the sync function is by setting
and resetting the soft sync bit at Register 0x230[0] (see Table 43
through Table 49 for details). Both the setting and resetting
of the soft sync bit require an update all registers operation
(Register 0x232[0] = 1) to take effect.
