Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can permanently damage the device. Functional
operation is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of conditions represented in the
operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods may

Handling Precautions
Although ESD protection circuitry has been designed into the the TRU050, 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.

TRU050, VCXO Based PLL
TRU050 Theory of Operation
Phase Detector
The phase detector has two buffered inputs, DATAIN and CLKIN, which are designed to switch at 1.4
volts. DATAIN is designed to accept an NRZ data stream but may also be used for clock signals which
have about a 50% duty cycle. CLKIN is connected to OUT1 or OUT2, or a divided version of one of these
outputs. CLKIN and DATAIN and are protected by ESD diodes and should not exceed the power supply
voltage or ground by more than a few hundred millivolts.
The phase detector is basically a latched flip flop/exclusive-or gate/differential amplifier filter design to
produce a DC signal proportional to the phase between the CLKIN and DATAIN signals, see figure 4 for a
block diagram and figure 5 for a open loop transfer curve. This simplies the PLL design as the designer
does not have to filter narrow pulse signal to a DC level. Under locked conditions the rising edge CLKIN
will be centered in the middle of the DATAIN signal, see figure 6.
The phase detector gain is 0.53V/rad x data density for 5volt operation, and 0.35V/rad x data density for
3.3 volt operation. Data density = 1.0 for clock signals and is system dependent on coding and design
for NRZ signals, but 0.25 could be used as a starting point for data density.
The phase detector output is a DC signal for DATAIN frequencies greater than 1MHz but produces
signficant ripple when inputs are less than 200kHz. Additional filtering is required for low input frequency
applications such as 8kHz frequency translation, see figures 8 and 9.
Under closed loop conditions the active filter has a blocking capacitor which provides a very high DC
gain, so under normal locked conditions and input frequencies >1MHz, PHO will be about V
DD
/2 and will
not vary signifigantly with changes in input frequency (within lock range). The control (voltage pin 1) will
vary according to the input frequency offset, but PHO will remain relatively constant.

Recovered Clock and Data Alignment Outputs
The TRU050 is designed to recover an imbedded clock from an NRZ data signal and retime it with a data
pattern. In this application, the VCXO frequency is exactly the same frequency as the NRZ data rate and
the outputs are taken off Pin 11, RCLK, and Pin 12, RDATA. Under locked conditions, the falling edge of
RCLK is centered in the RDATA pattern. Also, there is a 1.5 clock cyle delay between DATAIN and
RDATA. Figure 6 shows the relationship between the DATAIN, CLKIN, RDATA and RCLK.

Other RZ encoding schemes such as Manchester or AMI can be accomidated by using a TRU050 at
twice the baud rate.
Loss of Signal, LOS and LOSIN
The LOS circuit provides an output alarm flag when the DATAIN input signal is lost. The LOS output is
normally a logic low and is set to a logic high after 256 consecutive clock periods on CLKIN with no
detected DATAIN transitions. This signal can be used to either flag external alarm circuits and/or drive the
TRU050’s LOSIN input. When LOSIN is set to a logic high, the VCXO control voltage (pin 1) is switched
to an internal voltage which centers OUT1 and OUT2 to center frequency +/-75ppm. Also, LOS
automatically closes the op amp feedback which means the op-amp is a unity gain buffer and will
produce a DC voltage equal to the +op amp voltage (pin 4), usually VDD/2.
