Functional Description
The FS8160 dual phase-locked loop (PLL) IC contains two identical PLLs (main and aux-
iliary). Both the main and auxiliary PLLs share the crystal oscillator, serial data input
logic, and multi-function lock detector output circuits. Each PLL has its own program-
mable input and reference frequency dividers, phase/frequency detectors, programmable
charge pumps, and digital-filtered lock detectors.
Programmable Input Frequency Divider
The VCO input to the FIN pin is divided by the programmable divider and then internally
output to the phase/frequency detector (PFD) as f
V. The programmable input frequency
divider consists of a ÷ 16/17 (P/P+1) dual-modulus prescaler and a 16-bit (N) counter,
which is further comprised of a 4-bit swallow (A) counter, and a 12-bit main (B) counter.
The total divide ratio, M, is related to values for P, A, and B through the relation
with
The minimum programmable divisor for continuous counting is given by
and the valid total divide ratio range for the input
divider is
Programmable Reference Frequency Divider
The crystal oscillator output is divided by the programmable divider and then internally
output to the PFD as f
R. The programmable reference frequency divider consists of a 13-
bit reference (R) counter. Because of its design, the valid total divide ratio range for the
reference divider is
