Description
The ZL30102 DS1/E1 Synchronizer contains a digital phase-locked loop (DPLL), which provides timing and
synchronization for DS1/E1 transmission equipment deploying redundant network clocks.
The ZL30102 generates ST-BUS and other TDM clock and framing signals that are phase locked to one of three
network references or to another system master-clock reference. It helps ensure system reliability by monitoring its
references for frequency accuracy and stability and by maintaining a tight phase alignment between the primary
master-clock and secondary master clock outputs even in the presence of high network jitter.
The ZL30102 is intended to be the central timing and synchronization resource for network equipment that
complies with Telcordia, ETSI, ITU-T and ANSI network specifications.

3.0 Functional Description
The ZL30102 is an SDH/PDH Synchronizer for Redundant System Clocks, providing timing and synchronization
signals to interface circuits for the following types of primary rate digital transmission links, see Table 1:
DS1 compliant with ANSI T1.403 and Telcordia GR-1244-CORE Stratum 4/4E
E1 compliant with ITU-T G.703 and ETSI ETS 300 011
Figure 1 is a functional block diagram of the ZL30102 which is described in the following sections.
3.1 Reference Select Multiplexer (MUX)
The ZL30102 accepts three simultaneous reference input signals and operates on their rising edges. One of them,
the primary reference (REF0), the secondary reference (REF1) or the tertiary reference (REF2) signal is selected
as input to the TIE Corrector Circuit based on the Reference Selection (REF_SEL1:0) inputs.
The use of the combined REF2 and REF2_SYNC inputs allows for a very accurate phase alignment of the output
frame pulses to the 8 kHz frame pulse supplied to the REF2_SYNC input. This feature supports the implementation
of Primary and Secondary Master system clocks in H.110 systems.
3.2 Reference Monitor
The input references are monitored by three independent reference monitor blocks, one for each reference. The
block diagram of a single reference monitor is shown in Figure 3. For each reference clock, the frequency is
detected and the clock is continuously monitored for three independent criteria that indicate abnormal behavior of
the reference signal, for example; long term drift from its nominal frequency or excessive jitter. To ensure proper
operation of the reference monitor circuit, the minimum input pulse width restriction of 15 nsec must be
observed.
Reference Frequency Detector (RFD): This detector determines whether the frequency of the reference
clock is 8 kHz, 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz 8.192 MHz or 16.384 MHz and provides this information to the
various monitor circuits and the phase detector circuit of the DPLL.
Precise Frequency Monitor (PFM): This circuit determines whether the frequency of the reference clock
is within the selected accuracy range, see Table 1.
Coarse Frequency Monitor (CFM): This circuit monitors the reference frequency over intervals of
approximately 30
s to quickly detect large frequency changes.
Single Cycle Monitor (SCM): This detector checks the period of a single clock cycle to detect large
phase hits or the complete loss of the clock.

Figure 3 - Reference Monitor Circuit
Exceeding the thresholds of any of the monitors forces the corresponding REF_FAIL pin to go high. The single
cycle and coarse frequency failure flags force the DPLL into Holdover mode and feed a timer that disqualifies the
reference input signal when the failures are present for more than 2.5 s. The single cycle and coarse frequency
failures must be absent for 10 s to let the timer re-qualify the input reference signal as valid. Multiple failures of less
than 2.5 s each have an accumulative effect and will disqualify the reference eventually. This is illustrated in Figure
4 where REF0 experiences disruptions while REF1 is stable.

When the incoming signal returns to normal (REF_FAIL=0), the DPLL returns to Normal mode with the output
signal locked to the input signal. Each of the monitors has a built-in hysteresis to prevent flickering of the REF_FAIL
status pin at the threshold boundaries. The precise frequency monitor and the timer do not affect the mode
(Holdover/Normal) of the DPLL.
If the device is set to Automatic mode (MODE_SEL1:0=11), then the state machine does not immediately switch to
another reference. If the single cycle and/or coarse frequency failures persist for more than 2.5 s or the precise
frequency monitor detects a failure, then the state machine will switch to another valid reference if that is available.
If there no other reference available, it stays in Holdover mode.
The precise frequency monitor's failure thresholds are selected with the OOR_SEL input based on the ZL30102
applications, Table 1. Figure 5 and Figure 6 show the out of range limits for various master clock accuracies. It will
take the precise frequency monitor up to 10 s to qualify or disqualify the input reference.
Figure 5 - DS1 Out-of-Range Thresholds for OOR_SEL=0
Figure 6 - E1 Out-of-Range Thresholds for OOR_SEL=1
In addition to the monitoring of the REF2 reference signal the companion REF2_SYNC input signal is also
monitored for failure (see Figure 7).

Sync Ratio Monitor (SRM): This monitor detects if the REF2_SYNC signal is an 8 kHz signal. It also checks the
number of REF2 reference clock cycles in a single REF2_SYNC frame pulse period to determine the integrity of the
REF2_SYNC signal, for example there must be exactly 256 clock cycles of a 2.048 MHz REF2 reference clock in a
single REF2_SYNC 8 kHz frame pulse period to validate the REF2_SYNC signal. If the REF2 and REF2_SYNC
inputs are selected for synchronization and the Sync Ratio Monitor detects a failure, the DPLL will abandon the
mechanism of aligning the output frame pulse to the REF2_SYNC pulse. Instead only the REF2 reference will be
used for synchronization.
Figure 7 - REF2_SYNC Reference Monitor
3.3 Time Interval Error (TIE) Corrector Circuit
The TIE Circuit eliminates phase transients on the output clock that may occur during reference switching or the
recovery from Holdover mode to Normal mode.
On recovery from Holdover mode (dependent on the HMS pin) or when switching to another reference input, the
TIE corrector circuit measures the phase delay between the current phase (feedback signal) and the phase of the
selected reference signal. This delay value is stored in the TIE corrector circuit. This circuit creates a new virtual
reference signal that is at the same phase position as the feedback signal. By using the virtual reference, the PLL
minimizes the phase transient it experiences when it recovers from Holdover mode.
The delay value can be reset by setting the TIE Corrector Circuit Clear pin (TIE_CLR) low for at least 15 ns. This
results in a phase alignment between the input reference signal and the output clocks and frame pulses as shown
in Figure 25. The speed of the phase alignment correction is limited by the selected loop filter bandwidth and the
phase slope limit (see Table 2). Convergence is always in the direction of least phase travel. TIE_CLR can be kept
low continuously; in that case the output clocks will always align with the selected input reference. This is illustrated
in Figure 8.

Figure 8 - Timing Diagram of Hitless Reference Switching
The Hitless Mode Switching (HMS) pin enables phase hitless returns from Freerun and Holdover modes to Normal
mode in a single reference operation. A logic low at the HMS input disables the TIE circuit updating the delay value
thereby forcing the output of the PLL to gradually move back to the original point before it went into Holdover mode.
(see Figure 9). This prevents accumulation of phase in network elements. A logic high (HMS=1) enables the TIE
circuit to update its delay value thereby preventing a large output phase movement after return to Normal mode.
This causes accumulation of phase in network elements. In both cases the PLL's output can be aligned with the
input reference by setting TIE_CLR low. Regardless of the HMS pin state, reference switching in the ZL30102 is
always hitless unless TIE_CLR is kept low continuously.

where:
- 0.1 ppm is the accuracy of the Holdover mode
- 0 ns is the maximum phase discontinuity in the transition from the Normal mode to the Holdover mode
- 13 ns is the maximum phase discontinuity in the transition from the Holdover mode to the Normal mode
when a new TIE corrector value is calculated
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 200 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 200 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.
3.4 Digital Phase Lock Loop (DPLL)
The DPLL of the ZL30102 consists of a phase detector, a limiter, a loop filter and a digitally controlled oscillator as
shown in Figure 10. The data path from the phase detector to the limiter is tapped and routed to the lock detector
that provides a lock indication which is output at the LOCK pin.
Figure 10 - DPLL Block Diagram
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 compliant with the applicable standards. The phase
slope limit is dependent on the SEC_MSTR pin and is listed in Table 2.
Loop Filter - the loop filter is similar to a first order low pass filter with a bandwidth of 1.8 Hz suitable to provide
Primary Master timing. When Secondary Master mode is selected (SEC_MSTR=1), the filter bandwidth is set to
922 Hz. For stability reasons, the loop filter bandwidth for 8 kHz reference inputs is limited to a maximum of 58 Hz.

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 ZL30102.
In Normal Mode, the DCO provides an output signal which is frequency and phase locked to the selected input
reference signal.
In Holdover Mode, the DCO is free running at a frequency equal to the frequency that the DCO was generating in
Normal Mode. The frequency in Holdover mode is calculated from frequency samples stored 26 ms to 52 ms before
the ZL30102 entered Holdover mode. This ensures that the coarse frequency monitor and the single cycle monitor
have time to disqualify a bad reference before it corrupts the holdover frequency.
In Freerun Mode, the DCO is free running with an accuracy equal to the accuracy of the OSCi 20 MHz source.
Lock Indicator - the lock detector monitors if the output value of the phase detector is within the phase-lock-
window for a certain time. The selected phase-lock-window guarantees the stable operation of the LOCK pin with
maximum network jitter and wander on the reference input. If the DPLL goes into Holdover mode (auto or manual),
the LOCK pin will initially stay high for 1 s in Primary Master mode. In Secondary Master mode, LOCK remains high
for 0.1 s. If at that point the DPLL is still in holdover mode, the LOCK pin will go low; subsequently the LOCK pin will
not return high for at least the full lock-time duration. In Freerun mode the LOCK pin will go low immediately.
3.5 Frequency Synthesizers
The output of the DCO is used by the frequency synthesizers to generate the output clocks and frame pulses which
are synchronized to one of three reference inputs (REF0, REF1 or REF2). The frequency synthesizer uses digital
techniques to generate output clocks and advanced noise shaping techniques to minimize the output jitter. The
clock and frame pulse outputs have limited driving capability and should be buffered when driving high capacitance
loads.
3.6 State Machine
As shown in Figure 1, the state machine controls the TIE Corrector Circuit and the DPLL. The control of the
ZL30102 is based on the inputs MODE_SEL1:0, REF_SEL1:0 and HMS.
3.7 Master Clock
The ZL30102 can use either a clock or crystal as the master timing source. For recommended master timing
circuits, see the Applications - Master Clock section.

4.0 Control and Modes of Operation
4.1 Out of Range Selection
The out of range limits for the Precise Frequency Monitor in the 3 reference monitor blocks are selected through the
OOR_SEL pin, see Table 1.
4.2 Loop Filter and Limiter Selection
The loop filter and limiter settings are selected through the SEC_MSTR pin, see Table 2. The maximum loop filter
bandwidth is also dependent on the frequency of the currently selected reference (REF0/1/2).
4.3 Output Clock and Frame Pulse Selection
The output of the DCO is used by the frequency synthesizers to generate the output clocks and frame pulses which
are synchronized to one of three reference inputs (REF0, REF1 or REF2). These signals are available in two
groups controlled by the OUT_SEL pin, see Table 3.
4.4 Modes of Operation
The ZL30102 has three possible manual modes of operation; Normal, Holdover and Freerun. These modes are
selected with mode select pins MODE_SEL1 and MODE_SEL0 as is shown in Table 4. Transitioning from one
mode to the other is controlled by an external controller. The ZL30102 can be configured to automatically select a
valid input reference under control of its internal state machine by setting MODE_SEL1:0 = 11. In this mode of
operation, a state machine controls selection of references (REF0 or REF1) used for synchronization.

4.4.1 Freerun Mode
Freerun mode is typically used when an independent clock source is required, or immediately following system
power-up before network synchronization is achieved.
In Freerun mode, the ZL30102 provides timing and synchronization signals which are based on the master clock
frequency (supplied to OSCi pin) only, and are not synchronized to the reference input signals.
The accuracy of the output clock is equal to the accuracy of the master clock (OSCi). So if a
32 ppm output clock
is required, the master clock must also be
32 ppm. See Applications - Section 6.2, "Master Clock".
4.4.2 Holdover Mode
Holdover Mode is typically used for short durations while network synchronization is temporarily disrupted.
In Holdover Mode, the ZL30102 provides timing and synchronization signals, which are not locked to an external
reference signal, but are based on storage techniques. The storage value is determined while the device is in
Normal Mode and locked to an external reference signal.
When in Normal Mode, and locked to the input reference signal, a numerical value corresponding to the ZL30102
output reference frequency is stored alternately in two memory locations every 26 ms. When the device is switched
into Holdover Mode, the value in memory from between 26 ms and 52 ms is used to set the output frequency of the
device. The frequency accuracy of Holdover Mode is 0.1 ppm.
Two factors affect the accuracy of Holdover mode. One is drift on the master clock while in Holdover mode, drift on
the master clock directly affects the Holdover mode accuracy. Note that the absolute master clock (OSCi) accuracy
does not affect Holdover accuracy, only the change in OSCi accuracy while in Holdover. For example, a
32 ppm
master clock may have a temperature coefficient of
0.1 ppm per C. So a
10 C change in temperature, while the
ZL30102 is in Holdover mode may result in an additional offset (over the 0.1 ppm) in frequency accuracy of
1 ppm. Which is much greater than the 0.1 ppm of the ZL30102. The other factor affecting the accuracy is large
jitter on the reference input prior to the mode switch.

4.4.3 Normal Mode
Normal mode is typically used when a system clock source, synchronized to the network is required. In Normal
mode, the ZL30102 provides timing (C1.5o, C2o, C4o, C8o, C16o, C19o, C32 and C65o) and frame
synchronization (F2ko, F4o, F8o, F16o, F32o and F65o) signals, which are synchronized to one of three reference
inputs (REF0, REF1 or REF2). The input reference signal may have a nominal frequency of 8 kHz, 1.544 MHz,
2.048 MHz, 8.192 MHz or 16.384 MHz. The frequency of the reference inputs are automatically detected by the
reference monitors.
When the ZL30102 comes out of RESET while Normal mode is selected by its MODE_SEL pins then it will initially
go into Holdover mode and generate clocks with the accuracy of its freerunning local oscillator (see Figure 11). If
the ZL30102 determines that its selected reference is disrupted (see Figure 3), it will remain in Holdover until the
selected reference is no longer disrupted or the external controller selects another reference that is not disrupted. If
the ZL30102 determines that its selected reference is not disrupted (see Figure 3) then the state machine will cause
the DPLL to recover from Holdover via one of two paths depending on the logic level at the HMS pin. If HMS=0 then
the ZL30102 will transition directly to Normal mode and it will align its output signals with its selected input
reference (see Figure 9). If HMS=1 then the ZL30102 will transition to Normal mode via the TIE correction state and
the phase difference between the output signals and the selected input reference will be maintained.
When the ZL30102 is operating in Normal mode, if it determines that its selected reference is disrupted (Figure 3)
then its state machine will cause it to automatically go to Holdover mode. When the ZL30102 determines that its
selected reference is not disrupted then the state machine will cause the DPLL to recover from Holdover via one of
two paths depending on the logic level at the HMS pin (see Figure 11). If HMS=0 then the ZL30102 will transition
directly to Normal mode and it will align its output signals with its input reference (see Figure 9). If HMS=1 then the
ZL30102 will transition to Normal mode via the TIE correction state and the phase difference between the output
signals and the input reference will be maintained.
If the reference selection changes because the value of the REF_SEL1:0 pins changes or because the reference
selection state machine selected a different reference input, the ZL30102 goes into Holdover mode and returns to
Normal mode through the TIE correction state regardless of the logic value on HMS pin.
ZL30102 provides a fast lock pin (FASTLOCK), which, when set high enables the PLL to lock to an incoming
reference within approximately 1 s.

4.4.4 Automatic Mode
The Automatic mode combines the functionality of the Normal mode (automatic Holdover) with automatic reference
switching. The automatic reference switching is described in more detail in section 4.5.2, "Automatic Reference
Switching".
4.5 Reference Switching
4.5.1 Manual Reference Switching
In the manual modes of operation (MODE_SEL1:0
11) the active reference input (REF0, REF1 or REF2) is
selected by the REF_SEL1 and REF_SEL0 pins as shown in Table 5. When the logic value of the REF_SEL pins is
changed when the DPLL is in Normal mode, the ZL30102 will perform a hitless reference switch.
When the REF_SEL inputs are used in Normal mode to force a change from the currently selected reference to
another reference, the action of the LOCK output will depend on the relative frequency and phase offset of the old
and new references. Where the new reference has enough frequency offset and/or TIE-corrected phase offset to
force the output outside the phase-lock-window, the LOCK output will de-assert, the lock-qualify timer is reset, and
LOCK will stay de-asserted for the full lock-time duration. Where the new reference is close enough in frequency
and TIE-corrected phase for the output to stay within the phase-lock-window, the LOCK output will remain asserted
through the reference-switch process.

4.5.2 Automatic Reference Switching
In the automatic mode of operation (MODE_SEL1:0
= 11), the ZL30102 automatically selects a reference input that
is not out-of-range (REF_OOR=0, see Figure 3). The state machine can only select REF0 or REF1; REF2 cannot
be selected in the Automatic mode (see Figure 13).
If the current reference (REF0 or REF1) used for synchronization fails, the state machine will switch to the other
reference. If both references fail then the ZL30102 enters the Holdover mode without switching to another
reference. When the ZL30102 comes out of reset or when REF2 is the current reference when the ZL30102 is put
in the Automatic mode, then REF0 has priority over REF1. Otherwise there is no preference for REF0 or REF1
which is referred to as non-revertive reference selection.
Figure 13 - Reference Selection in Automatic Mode (MODE_SEL=11)
In the automatic mode of operation, both pins REF_SEL1 and REF_SEL0 are configured as outputs. The logic level
on the REF_SEL0 output indicates the current input reference being selected for synchronization (see Table 6).

The mode selection state machine behaves differently in Automatic mode in that when both reference REF0 and
reference REF1 are out of range (REF_OOR=1), the state machine will select the Holdover state. In Normal mode
the reference out of range (REF_OOR) status is ignored by the state machine. This is illustrated in Figure 14.
Figure 14 - Mode Switching in Automatic Mode
4.5.2.1 Automatic Reference Switching - Coarse Reference Failure
When the currently-active input reference in Automatic mode fails in a coarse manner, the REF_DIS internal signal
places the device in holdover, with the HOLDOVER pin and the REF_FAIL pin asserted. This can occur through
triggering the Single Cycle Monitor, or the Coarse Frequency Monitor, in the Reference Monitor block. If the
reference does not correct itself within the lock-disqualify duration (1 second) the LOCK pin is de-asserted. If the
reference does not correct itself within the reference-disqualify duration (2.5 seconds) the HOLDOVER pin is de-
asserted and the REF_SEL outputs indicate that the device has switched to the other reference. The LOCK pin
remains de-asserted for the full lock-time duration, regardless of the phase and frequency offset of the old and new
references. Figure 15 illustrates this process.
If the reference corrects itself within the lock-disqualify duration (< 1 second) the HOLDOVER pin is de-asserted,
and the REF_FAIL pin is de-asserted. The LOCK pin remains asserted. No reference switching takes place, and
the REF_SEL outputs indicate that the device has remained locked to the old reference.
If the reference does not correct itself within the lock-disqualify duration (1 second), but does correct itself within the
reference-disqualify duration (< 2.5 seconds) the HOLDOVER pin is de-asserted, the REF_FAIL pin is de-asserted,
and the REF_SEL outputs indicate that the device has remained locked to the old reference. However the LOCK
pin is de-asserted, the lock-qualify timer is reset, and the LOCK pin remains de-asserted for the full lock-time
duration. See 7.2, "Performance Characteristics" on page 46 for lock-time duration.

4.5.2.2 Automatic Reference Switching - Reference Frequency Out-of-Range
When the currently-active input reference in Automatic mode fails through a subtle frequency offset, the REF_FAIL
output is asserted as soon as the Precise Frequency Monitor indicates an out-of-range reference (10 to 20
seconds). The HOLDOVER output is briefly asserted (approximately three reference input cycles) and the
REF_SEL outputs indicate that the device has switched to the other reference. Where the new reference is close
enough in frequency and TIE-corrected phase for the output to stay within the phase-lock-window, the LOCK output
will remain asserted through the reference-switch process. Where the new reference has enough frequency offset
and/or TIE-corrected phase offset to force the output outside the phase-lock-window, the LOCK output will de-
assert, the lock-qualify timer is reset, and LOCK will stay de-asserted for the full lock-time duration. Figure 16
illustrates this process.

4.6 Clock Redundancy Support
In general, clock redundancy implies that the redundant timing card DPLL tracks the output clock and/or frame
pulse of the active timing card DPLL. In case that the active timing card fails, the devices that use the active clock
and/or frame pulse must be able to switch to the redundant clock and/or frame pulse without experiencing
disruptions. Therefore the redundant signals must closely track the active signals. The ZL30102 supports this kind
of clock redundancy in various ways;
Lock only to the active clock. The ZL30102 uses the 922 Hz loop filter bandwidth to closely track the active
clock, even in the presence of jitter on the active clock. However the active and redundant frame pulse may
not be aligned.
Lock to the active frame pulse. Both the redundant clock and frame pulse will be aligned with the active clock
and frame pulse. However the ZL30102 loop filter bandwidth is limited to 58 Hz for an 8 kHz frame pulse.
Therefore the redundant clock and frame pulse will not track the active frame pulse as closely in the
presence of jitter on the active frame pulse as with a 922 Hz loop filter bandwidth.
Lock to both the active clock and associated frame pulse. The ZL30102 uses the 922 Hz loop filter
bandwidth and thereby track the active clock and frame pulse in the presence of jitter on the active signals. It
will also align the redundant frame pulse with the active frame pulse.
The method of clock redundancy shown in Figure 18 is that the redundant timing card is frequency and phase
locked to the active clock and frame pulse. The redundant card is configured as Secondary Master (SEC_MSTR=1)
and continuously adjusts the phase of its output clocks and frame pulses to match that of the active clock and frame
pulse. In this mode of operation, the bandwidth of the redundant timing card's DPLL is much larger than that of the
active timing card's DPLL, 922 Hz versus 1.8 Hz. Therefore the redundant clocks and frame pulses will track the

active clock and frame pulse closely even in the presence of the maximum tolerable input jitter and wander on the
active timing card's reference input.
The method of synchronization using REF2 and REF2_SYNC is enabled as soon as a valid 8 kHz frame pulse is
detected on the REF2_SYNC input. The REF2_SYNC pulse must be generated from the clock that is present on
the REF2 input. The ZL30102 checks the number of REF2 cycles in the REF2_SYNC period. If this is not the
nominal number of cycles, the REF2_SYNC pulse is considered invalid. For example, if REF2 is a 8.192 MHz clock
and REF2_SYNC is a 8 kHz frame pulse, then there must be exactly 1024 REF2 cycles in a REF2_SYNC period. If
a valid REF2_SYNC pulse is detected, the ZL30102 will align the rising edges of the REF2 clock and the
corresponding output clock such that the rising edge of the F8o/F32o output frame pulse is aligned with the frame
boundary indicated by the REF2_SYNC signal. The rising edges of the REF2 and the corresponding output clock
that are aligned, are the ones that lag the rising edges of the REF2_SYNC and the F8o pulses respectively. This is
illustrated in Figure 17. Many combinations of the ZL30102 clock and frame pulse outputs can be used as REF2
and REF2_SYNC inputs. In general, the active low frame pulses F4o, F16o and F65o would be inverted first before
used as a REF2_SYNC input.

The following is an example of how active/redundant setup can be configured.
The active timing card is set based on the desired application and is set to:
Primary master mode, SEC_MSTR=0
Normal Mode, MODE_SEL1:0=00 (forces device to the input reference set at REF_SEL)
Automatic mode, MODE_SEL1:0=11 (allows device to auto-switch if reference fails)
The HOLDOVER and REF_FAIL pins help evaluate quality of clocks and quality of redundant clock.
The redundant timing card is set based on desired applications and is set to:
Normal (manual) mode, MODE_SEL1:0=00
REF2 and REF2_SYNC as the input reference, REF_SEL1=1 (forces redundant device to lock to output
of active card)

When the redundant timing card is switched to becoming the active timing card, the system controller should do the
following:
select Primary Master mode, SEC_MSTR=0
select Automatic mode, MODE_SEL1:0=11
The new active timing card will automatically select a valid input reference REF0 or REF1. If both input references
are available and valid, then REF0 will be chosen over REF1. If the new active timing card should use the same
input reference (REF0 or REF1) as the old active timing card used before it failed, The system controller should do
the following instead:
select Holdover (manual) mode, MODE_SEL1:0=01
select Primary Master mode, SEC_MSTR=0
select the required reference (REF0 or REF1) as the input reference
Normal Mode, MODE_SEL1:0=00 (forces device to the input reference set at REF_SEL)
select Automatic mode, MODE_SEL1:0=11
It is recommended to maintain HMS=1 when switching from redundant to active through the Holdover mode, to
eliminate output phase transients.
When the active timing card is switched to becoming the redundant timing card, the system controller should do the
following:
select Normal (manual) mode, MODE_SEL1:0=00
select Secondary Master mode, SEC_MSTR=1
select REF2 and REF2_SYNC as the input reference, REF_SEL1=1
The ZL30102 allows for the switch from Secondary Master mode to Primary Master mode with no frequency or
phase hits on the output clocks. The switch from Primary Master mode to Secondary Master mode may introduce a
phase transient on the output clocks as the TIE correction circuit is disabled to allow the Secondary master device
to track the active clocks closely.

5.0 Measures of Performance
The following are some PLL performance indicators and their corresponding definitions.
5.1 Jitter
Timing jitter is defined as the high frequency variation of the clock edges from their ideal positions in time. Wander
is defined as the low-frequency variation of the clock edges from their ideal positions in time. High and low
frequency variation imply phase oscillation frequencies relative to some demarcation frequency. (Often 10 Hz or
20 Hz for DS1 or E1, higher for SONET/SDH clocks.) Jitter parameters given in this data sheet are total timing jitter
numbers, not cycle-to-cycle jitter.
5.2 Jitter Generation (Intrinsic Jitter)
Jitter generation is the measure of the jitter produced by the PLL and is measured at its output. It is measured by
applying a reference signal with no jitter to the input of the device, and measuring its output jitter. Jitter generation
may also be measured when the device is in a non-synchronizing mode, such as free running or holdover, by
measuring the output jitter of the device. Jitter is usually measured with various bandlimiting filters depending on
the applicable standards.
5.3 Jitter Tolerance
Jitter tolerance is a measure of the ability of a PLL to operate properly (i.e., remain in lock and or regain lock in the
presence of large jitter magnitudes at various jitter frequencies) when jitter is applied to its reference. The applied
jitter magnitude and jitter frequency depends on the applicable standards.
5.4 Jitter Transfer
Jitter transfer or jitter attenuation refers to the magnitude of jitter at the output of a device for a given amount of jitter
at the input of the device. Input jitter is applied at various amplitudes and frequencies, and output jitter is measured
with various filters depending on the applicable standards.
For the Zarlink digital PLLs two internal elements determine the jitter attenuation; the internal low pass loop filter
and the phase slope limiter. The phase slope limiter limits the output phase slope to, for example, 61
s/s.
Therefore, if the input signal exceeds this rate, such as for very large amplitude low frequency input jitter, the
maximum output phase slope will be limited (i.e., attenuated).
Since intrinsic jitter is always present, jitter attenuation will appear to be lower for small input jitter signals than for
large ones. Consequently, accurate jitter transfer function measurements are usually made with large input jitter
signals (for example 75% of the specified maximum tolerable input jitter).
5.5 Frequency Accuracy
The Frequency accuracy is defined as the absolute accuracy of an output clock signal when it is not locked to an
external reference, but is operating in a free running mode.
5.6 Holdover Accuracy
Holdover accuracy is defined as the absolute accuracy of an output clock signal, when it is not locked to an external
reference signal, but is operating using storage techniques. For the ZL30102, the storage value is determined while
the device is in Normal Mode and locked to an external reference signal.

5.7
Pull-in
Range
Also referred to as capture range. This is the input frequency range over which the PLL must be able to pull into
synchronization.
5.8 Lock Range
This is the input frequency range over which the synchronizer must be able to maintain synchronization.
5.9 Phase Slope
Phase slope is measured in seconds per second and is the rate at which a given signal changes phase with respect
to an ideal signal. The given signal is typically the output signal. The ideal signal is of constant frequency and is
nominally equal to the value of the final output signal or final input signal. Another way of specifying the phase slope
is as the fractional change per time unit. For example; a phase slope of 61
s/s can also be specified as 61 ppm.
5.10 Time Interval Error (TIE)
TIE is the time delay between a given timing signal and an ideal timing signal.
5.11 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.
5.12 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 PLL 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.
5.13 Lock Time
This is the time it takes the PLL to frequency lock to the input signal. Phase lock occurs when the input signal and
output signal are aligned in phase with respect to each other within a certain phase distance (not including jitter).
Lock time is affected by many factors which include:
initial input to output phase difference
initial input to output frequency difference
PLL loop filter bandwidth
PLL phase slope limiter
in-lock phase distance
The presence of input jitter makes it difficult to define when the PLL is locked as it may not be able to align its output
to the input within the required phase distance, dependent on the PLL bandwidth and the input jitter amplitude and
frequency.
Although a short lock time is desirable, it is not always possible to achieve due to other synchronizer requirements.
For instance, better jitter transfer 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.

6.2.1 Clock Oscillator
When selecting a clock oscillator, numerous parameters must be considered. This includes absolute frequency,
frequency change over temperature, output rise and fall times, output levels, duty cycle and phase noise.
The output clock should be connected directly (not AC coupled) to the OSCi input of the ZL30102, and the OSCo
output should be left open as shown in Figure 20.
Figure 20 - Clock Oscillator Circuit
6.2.2 Crystal Oscillator
Alternatively, a Crystal Oscillator may be used. A complete oscillator circuit made up of a crystal, resistor and
capacitors is shown in Figure 21.
The accuracy of a crystal oscillator depends on the crystal tolerance as well as the load capacitance tolerance.
Typically, for a 20 MHz crystal specified with a 32 pF load capacitance, each 1 pF change in load capacitance
contributes approximately 9 ppm to the frequency deviation. Consequently, capacitor tolerances and stray
capacitances have a major effect on the accuracy of the oscillator frequency.
The crystal should be a fundamental mode type - not an overtone. The fundamental mode crystal permits a simpler
oscillator circuit with no additional filter components and is less likely to generate spurious responses. A typical
crystal oscillator specification and circuit is shown in Table 8 and Figure 21 respectively.

6.3 Power Up Sequence
The ZL30102 requires that the 3.3 V supply is not powered up after the 1.8 V supply. This is to prevent the risk of
latch-up due to the presence of parasitic diodes in the IO pads.
Two options are given:
1. Power-up the 3.3 V supply fully first, then power up the 1.8 V supply
2. Power up the 3.3 V supply and the 1.8 V supply simultaneously, ensuring that the 3.3 V supply is never lower
than a few hundred millivolts below the 1.8 V supply (e.g., by using a schottky diode or controlled slew rate)
6.4 Reset Circuit
A simple power up reset circuit with about a 60
s reset low time is shown in Figure 22. Resistor R
P
is for protection
only and limits current into the RST pin during power down conditions. The reset low time is not critical but should
be greater than 300 ns.

6.5 Clock Redundancy System Architecture
Carrier-Class Telecommunications Equipment deployed in today's networks guarantee better than 99.999%
operational availability (equivalent to less than 7 minutes of downtime per year). This high level of uninterrupted
service is achieved by fully redundant architectures with hot swappable cards like an ECTF H.110 compliant
system. Timing for these types of systems can be generated by the ZL30102 which supports primary/secondary
master timing protection switching.
The architecture shown in Figure 23 is based on the ZL30102 being deployed on two separate timing cards; the
primary master timing card and the secondary master timing card. In normal operation the primary master timing
card receives synchronization from the network and provides timing for the whole system. The redundant
secondary master timing card is phase locked to the backplane clock and frame pulse through its REF2 and
REF2_SYNC inputs. These two designated inputs allow the secondary master timing card to track the primary
master timing card clocks with minimal phase skew. When the primary master timing card fails unexpectedly (this
failure is not related to reference failure) then all switch cards or line cards will detect this failure and they will switch
to the timing supplied by the secondary master timing card. The secondary master timing card will be promoted to
primary master and switch from using the REF2 and REF2_SYNC inputs to one of the REF0 or REF1 inputs.
