Working Principle

The PI6C49018ZDIEX integrates multiple clock and timing structures onto one die. It uses an array of precision clock & timing structures to provide precise timing within applications. The on-chip structures include a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL), a Digital Frequency Lock Loop (DFLL), and two voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs).

The PLL is a programmable, frequency synthesizer that is used to generate the system’s core clock signal. The PLL automatically aligns and synchronizes the clock output to the desired signal frequency. The DFLL is a programmable, high-speed frequency synthesizer that allows for on-the-fly frequency modulation and switching capabilities. The VCOs are used to generate ultra-low-jitter frequency synthesizers that meet the needs of signal processing applications.
