9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 SYNC/SYSREF
The SYNC and SYSREF signals share the same clocking path. To properly use SYNC and/or SYSREF for
JESD204B it is important to understand the SYNC/SYSREF system. Figure 12 illustrates the detailed diagram of
a clock output block with SYNC circuitry included.Figure 13 illustrates the interconnects and highlights some
important registers used in controlling the device for SYNC/SYSREF purposes.
To reset or synchronize a divider, the following conditions must be met:
1. SYNC_EN must be set. This ensures proper operation of the SYNC circuitry.
2. SYSREF_MUX and SYNC_MODE must be set to a proper combination to provide a valid SYNC/SYSREF
signal.
– If SYSREF block is being used, the SYSREF_PD bit must be clear.
– If the SYSREF Pulser is being used, the SYSREF_PLSR_PD bit must be clear.
– For each SDCLKoutY being used for SYSREF, respective SDCLKoutY_PD bits must be cleared.
3. SYSREF_DDLY_PD and DCLKoutX_DDLY_PD bits must be clear to power up the digital delay circuitry
during SYNC as use requires.
4. The SYNC_DISX bit must be clear to allow SYNC/SYSREF signal to divider circuit. The SYSREF_MUX
register selects the SYNC source which resets the SYSREF/CLKoutX dividers provided the corresponding
SYNC_DISX bit is clear.
5. Other bits which impact the operation of SYNC such as SYNC_1SHOT_EN may be set as desired.
Table 1 illustrates the some possible combinations of SYSREF_MUX and SYNC_MODE.
