CASCADED PLL FOR REDUCING LOW-FREQUENCY DRIFT IN HOLDOVER MODE |
摘要 |
A cascaded phase-locked loop (PLL) clock generation technique reduces frequency drift of a low-jitter clock signal in a holdover mode. An apparatus includes a first PLL circuit configured to generate a control signal based on a first clock signal and a first divider value. The apparatus includes a second PLL circuit configured to generate the first clock signal based on a low-jitter clock signal and a second divider value. The apparatus includes a third PLL circuit configured to generate the second divider value based on the first clock signal, a third divider value, and a second clock signal. The low-jitter clock signal may have a greater temperature dependence than the second clock signal and the second clock signal may have a higher jitter than the low-jitter clock signal. |
