Handling Precautions
Although ESD protection circuitry has been designed into the the FX-700, proper precautions should be taken when handling
and mounting. VI employs a human body model and a charged-device model (CDM) for ESD susceptibility testing and design
protection evaluation. ESD thresholds are dependent on the circuit parameters used to define the model. Although no industry
wide standard has been adopted for the CDM, a standard HBM of resistance=1.5Kohms and capacitance = 100pF is widely used
and therefore can be used for comparison purposes

The device has been qualified to meet the JEDEC
standard for Pb-Free assembly. The temperatures
and time intervals listed are based on the Pb-
Free small body requirements. The temperatures
refer to the topside of the package, measured on
the package body surface. The FX-700 device is
hermetically sealed so an aqueous wash is not an
issue.

1 Tri-state must be driven to a logic high or a logic low, there is no internal pull up or pull down resistor (tie pin to VDD for PLL operation).
2 LD is an open collector output requiring a 30k ohm minimum pull-up resistor to VDD. LD output is logic high under locked
condition, logic low for no input at FIN, and for “out-of-lock” condition LD transitions between logic low and
high at the phase detector frequency.

FX-700 Theory of Operation
The FX-700 includes an integrated phase detector, current mode charge pump, programmable frequency dividers and VCXO. The
FX-700 will translate an input frequency such as 8 kHz, 1.544 MHz or 19.440 MHz to a specific output frequency which is an integer
multiple (1-16384) of the input frequency and less than or equal to 77.760 MHz. For clock smoothing applications, the input
frequency is typically internally divided down by a factor of 64 (2N where N = 6) by the input frequency divider and this frequency
becomes an input to the phase detector. The integrated frequency dividers (factory programmed) and crystal based VCXO allows
for a large range of possible frequency translations and clock smoothing applications.
The FX-700’s PLL is a feedback system which forces the output frequency to lock in both phase and frequency to the input
frequency. While there will be some phase error, theory states there is no frequency error. The loop filter design will dictate many
key parameters such as jitter reduction, stability, lock range and acquisition time. The external second order passive loop filter is
a complex impedance in parallel with the input capacitance of the VCXO. The loop filter converts the charge pump output into
the VCXO’s control voltage. VI’s loop filter design methodology involves the calculation of the open loop gain bandwidth and
corresponding phase margin to determine the optimal component values that ensure high loop stability and acceptable lock in
time. As a rule of thumb, the VCXO gain is typically 100 ppm/volt and the charge pump current is typically 32 uA.
VI’s Applications Engineering staff can provide the external loop filter component values required to meet specific system
requirements and application.
