Register Bit Descriptions

Table 367.   PFD Control
Bits Name Description
0 Enable
  • ‘1’ enables the PFD error value e(t) outputs that drive the LPF Inputs.
  • ‘0’ produces no output but the internal counters still run and hence an algorithm restart sequence is required before use. Enable should be the last bit to transition in this register.
3:2 Ref Clock Switch Selection

Determines the reference clock for VCXO tracking:

  • 00=ref0_clk (default)
  • 01=ref1_clk
  • 10=ref2_clk
  • 11=ref3_clk

Clock selection should only select clocks that exist in the design and ideally are running.

7:4 Ref Clock Reset

A 4-bit wide vector where each bit corresponds to an input reference clock (bit 4 = ref0_clk and bit 7 = ref3_clk). A 1 puts that reference places clock counter into reset and out of reset when you write, with bit 12 before you enable the PFD.

12 VCXO Clock Reset

A ‘1’ puts the VCXO clock counter into reset and out of reset when you write ‘0’. Set this bit when you reset the corresponding Ref Clock Reset required for tracking against.

31:16 Output Update Period MSBS

Defines the top 16 MSB of the output update period counter. The LSB are defined by the C_ERR_UPDATE_BITS at build and is the duration of error updates from the PFD to the LPF (and subsequently the DAC).

Set up this value before you use the Enable bit.

Table 368.   PFD Status
Bits Name Description
3:0 Ref Clock Running

A 4 bits vector where each bit corresponds to an input reference clock (bit 0 = ref0_clk and bit 3 = ref3_clk) to indicate that the reference clock appears to be running. Running is based on samples the IP takes against the VCXO clock. If C_ENABLE_DEBUG>0, further clock measure registers are available.

7:4 Ref Clock Stopped

A 4 bits vector where each bit corresponds to an input reference clock (bit 0 = ref0_clk and bit 3 = ref3_clk) to indicate that the reference clock stops changing over the sampling period. These bits are sticky and only reset following an algorithm restart sequence.

If the clock that dies is the current selected reference clock, the PFD does not update any further error changes to the LPF. The IP requires a restart sequence using either another reference clock or the same reference clock if it returns. The output disabled status is indicated in bit 9.

8 Overflow

Indicates an overflow in the difference between the internal tracking counters. An overflow is a serious error and the VCXO can be tracking anywhere. This bit only resets after a restart.

9 Output Disabled

Indicates that the output is currently disabled because of the reference clock dying. The IP makes no further updates to the LPF. This bit only clears following an algorithm restart sequence.

10 diff_diff_value Output Overflow

This output value is smaller than the internal value you use. Indicates an overflow if the smaller value saturates. Consider increasing C_ERR_VAL_BITS. This bit only resets after an algorithm restart.

11 (diff_diff_value – last diff_diff_value) Output Overflow

This output value is smaller than the internal value. Indicates an overflow if the smaller value saturates. Consider increasing C_ERR_VAL_BITS. This bit only resets after a restart.

Table 375.   LPF Control 1
Bits Name Description
0 Enable
  • 1 enables the LPF.
  • 0 keeps it in reset.

You can enable the LPF anytime if the PFD is not enabled as no input values enter the LPF.

1 Integral Accumulator Reset Disable

If the DAC output reaches its maximum value (in either positive or negative direction), it automatically resets the Integral to the reset value as defined in LPF Control 2 register. Writing 1 to this bit stops the automatic reset, which may be useful for debugging.

2 Lock Loss Confidence Count Enable

This bit turns on the confidence counter for detection loss of lock. The IP gains lock when the lock confidence counter reaches its maximum value (C_LOCK_CNT_SIZE) and the IP sees successive no errors. However, a single error causes loss of lock immediately. Enabling this bit allows you to use the same confidence counter for indicating loss of lock. The IP indicates only if it reaches its minimum value of zero loss of. Hence lock status changes only when the extremes of the confidence counter are hit.

7:3 Lock Status LSB Position

By default, the IP allows 1 LSB bit change that does not change the lock status. You can increase the number of LSB bits by up to 31 (to 32 LSB) using these register bits. If the LSB position exceeds the size of the error value (C_CLK_DIV_BITS for diff_val in Phase mode, or C_ERR_VAL_BITS for diff_diff_val in Frequency mode), no amount of error causes the IP to lose lock.

17:16 Locked Status Control

Controls how the IP derives the Locked Status in the LPF Status Register.

00 = Frequency mode. Diff_Diff_Val Input is very small. The IP allows 1 LSB change and still indicates lock. You can increase the LSB position by up to a further 3 positions (to 4) using bits 31:30. Increase when you see larger error values because of larger sampling windows or jittery input.

01 = Phase mode. Diff_Val Input is very small. The IP allows 1 LSB change and still indicates lock. You can increase the LSB position by up to a further 3 positions (to 4) using bits 31:30.

  • 10 = Reserved.
  • 11 = Reserved.
18 I Mode

Defines the integral mode.

  • ‘0’ for Frequency mode where the integral part of the filter performs I = Sum of (I Gain * Diff_Diff_Val)
  • ‘1’ for Phase mode where the integral part of the filter performs I = Sum of (I Gain * Diff_Val)
19 P Mode

Defines the proportional mode

  • ‘0’ for Frequency mode where the proportional part of the filter performs P = P Gain * Diff_Diff_Val
  • ‘1’ for Phase mode where the proportional part of the filter performs P = P Gain * Diff_Val
24 D Mode

Defines the differential mode.

  • ‘0’ for Frequency mode where the differential part of the filter performs D = D Gain * (Diff_Diff_Val – last Diff_Diff_Val)
  • ‘1’ for Phase mode where the differential part of the filter performs D = D Gain * Diff_Diff_Val
25 Negative I Gain

Inverts the sign of the 2’s complement input error. A positive input turns negative and vise-versa for the integral gain. Select this value after selecting I Mode.

26 Negative P Gain

Inverts the sign of the 2’s complement input error A positive input turns negative and vise-versa for the proportional gain. Select this value after selecting P Mode.

27 Negative D Gain

Inverts the sign of the 2’s complement input error. A positive input turns negative and vise-versa for the differential gain. Select this value after selecting D Mode.

28 I Gain Fraction

This bit reverses the direction of the I Gain powers of 2 shift, producing fractions of gain, instead of whole number gain.

29 Reset DAC Saturation Status

Setting high clears any latched DAC Saturation status as indicated in the LPF Status register. You must return this bit low.

Table 376.   LPF Control 2
Bits Name Description
31:0 Integral Accumulator Reset Value

Value the IP loads into the 32 LSBs of the integral accumulator at reset or if it is reset by saturation (if on).

If the internal integral size is greater than 31 bits, the IP uses the MSB of this register as a sign extend.

Table 377.   LPF Status
Bits Name Description
0 Locked

Indicates when the error from the PFD reduces to a very small amount indicating locked status.

1 Integral Overflow

Indicates that an overflow in the integral accumulator is occurring and is reaching its maximum positive or negative value. It remains at that value until reset as part of a restart (refer to Software Usage). This bit indicates a serious error and the VCXO can be tracking anywhere.

2 DAC Saturated

Indicates that the DAC value output from the filter reaches its maximum positive or negative value. It automatically resets the Integral accumulator to its reset value unless you disable it using the LPF Control 1 register bit 1. This bit remains set until you clear it using bit 29 in the LPF Control 1 register.

Table 378.   DAC Control
Bits Name Description
0 Output Enable

‘0’ Outputs High Impedance on the VCXO Driver Pin. ‘1’ enables the DAC to drive the pin. Avoid contention before enabling the DAC and any HW I2C writes in advance.

3:1 DAC Output Data Select

Controls the PWM output via binary offset input value:

  • 000 = sets mid value and VCXO sits at mid frequency
  • 001 = uses value input from LPF Output (converted from 2’s complement, which is just inverted MSB).
  • 010 = sets largest negative value and slowest VCXO frequency
  • 011 = sets largest positive value and fastest VCXO frequency
  • 100 = Use CPU value bits 31:8
  • 101 – 111 = Reserved
4 Hold

Hold value and do not update anymore. Only valid for DAC Output Data Select = 001.

5 Output Force Low

When set, the IP forces the PWM output low and ignores the output mode. Output Force High has a higher priority.

6 Output Force High

When set, the IP forces the PWM output high and ignores the output mode. This bit takes priority over Output Force Low.

7 Output Clock Divide Disable

By default, the IP sets the output clock rate of the DAC control pin using the build time parameter C_DAC_CLK_DIV.

If this bit is 1, the build time divide is disabled, and the output clock rate runs at full speed (which is half the VCXO frequency).

31:8 CPU DAC Output Data Value

Only available if DAC Output Data Select = 100. Value must be offset binary range to the size of the DAC output as in the DAC Status Register. 2’s complement to offset binary conversion is invert MSB.

Examples (assuming 24bit DAC size):

  • 0x000000 sets largest negative value and slowest VCXO frequency
  • 0xFFFFFF sets largest positive value and fastest VCXO frequency
  • 0x800000 sets the mid value and the VCXO sets at its mid frequency
Table 379.   DAC Status
Bits Name Description
23:0 Current DAC Output Data Value

Current offset binary range number that the DAC produces.

Table 380.   LPF Control 3
Bits Name Description
7:0 I Gain

Integral Gain. Provides powers of 2 shifts to the input error value e(t) (2’s complement positive or negative number). The IP adds or subtracts this value into the Integrator before adding it to the final output sum. Valid values are 0 to 15 where 0 means that the IP does not use the integral in the control value to the DAC.

Example: Gain set to 7, gives 2^(7-1) = 64 i.e. the input e(t) is multiplied by 64.

The input error value the IP uses depends on the I Mode bit and is either Diff_Val for Phase Mode or Diff_Diff_Val for Frequency Mode.

You can invert the gain such that in the example above the input can be multiplied by -64. You invert the gain with the Negative I Gain Mode bit.

Modes may not be available because of build parameters even though the bits remain persistent in this control register. Identify build time parameters using the LPF Status register.

15:8 P Gain

Proportional gain. Provides powers of 2 shifts to the input error value e(t) (2’s complement positive or negative number). The IP adds or subtracts this value to the final output sum. Valid values 0 to 15 where 0 means that IP does not use the in the control value to the DAC.

Example: Gain set to 7, gives 2^(7-1) = 64 i.e. the input e(t) is multiplied by 64.

The Input Error Value depends on the P Mode bit and is either Diff_Val for Phase Mode or Diff_Diff_Val for Frequency Mode.

You can invert the gain such that in the example above the input can be multiplied by -64. Set the gain using the Negative P Gain Mode bit.

Additionally, changes the gain shift (left or right) using the I Gain Fraction bit. Right Shifts produce fractional power of 2, which are useful after locking to reduce jitter caused by changes in the input error.

Modes may not be available because of build parameters even though the bits remain persistent in this control register. Use the LPF Status register to identify build time parameters.

23:16 D Gain

Derivative gain. Provides powers of 2 shifts to the input error value e(t) (2’s complement positive or negative number). The IP adds or subtracts this value to the final output sum. Valid values 0 to 15 where 0 means that the derivative is not used in the control value to the DAC.

Example: Gain set to 7, gives 2^(7-1) = 64 i.e. the input e(t) is multiplied by 64.

The input error value depends on the D Mode bit and is either Diff_Diff_Val for Phase Mode or (Diff_Diff_Val – last Diff_Diff_Val) for Frequency Mode.

You can invert the gain such that in the example above the input can be multiplied by -64. Set this gain using the Negative D Gain Mode bit.

Modes may not be available because of build parameters even though the bits remain persistent in this control register. Use the LPF Status register to identify build time parameters.

Table 381.   Clock Debug Status 1
Bits Name Description
31:0 VCXO Clock Measure

Count of clock ticks over 1 second. Zero indicates clock not running. Spurious counts indicate unstable clock. Stable clocks may deviate by a couple of counts because of frequency of CPU clock used to measure against and metastability.

Table 382.   Clock Debug Status 2 to 5
Bits Name Description
31:0 Ref 0-3 Clock Measure

Count of clock ticks over 1 second. Zero indicates clock not running. Spurious counts could indicate unstable clock. Stable clocks may deviate by a couple of counts because of frequency of CPU clock the IP uses to measure against and metastability.

Table 383.   PFD Debug Status
Bits Name Description
31:0 Current e(t)

This value indicates the current internal e(t) value (PFD counter difference value Diff_Val) that represents the continuous error difference value. It is a 2’s complement value representing positive and negative numbers indicating which counter (reference clock or VCXO clock) is ahead.

For Frequency Mode, the error value should trend to a value and remain there. Although it may oscillate around the trend value and drift slowly over time.

For Phase Mode, the error value should reduce to zero and remain there. Although it may oscillate +/- 1. It should not drift over time.

Bits Name Description
26:22 VCXO Integer number part

Sets the integer part of the clock ratio value. For example, if the clock ratio value is 8.750, this field needs to be set to 8.

21:0 VCXO Fractional number part

Sets the fractional part of the clock ratio value. For example, if the clock ratio value is 8.750, this field needs to be set to (2^22) * (0.750). The 2^22 multiplying factor is because of this IP using 22 bits to represent the fractional part in a fixed-point format.

Bits Name Description
26:22 Ref 0-3 Integer number part

Sets the integer part of the clock ratio value. For example, if the clock ratio value is 8.750, this field needs to be set to 8.
