7.7.1.7 Mini-Holdover
When the selected reference fails, the fast activity monitor (Section
7.5.3) isolates the T0 DPLL from the reference
within one or two clock cycles to avoid adverse effects on the DPLL frequency. When this fast isolation occurs, the
DPLL enters a temporary mini-holdover mode, with a frequency equal to an instantaneous value 50ms to 100 ms
old from the integral path of the loop filter. Mini-holdover lasts until the selected reference becomes active or the
state machine enters the holdover state. If the free-run holdover mode is set (FRUNHO = 1 in
MCR3), the mini-
holdover frequency accuracy is exactly the same as the external oscillator accuracy plus the offset set by the
7.7.2 Bandwidth
The bandwidth of the T0 DPLL is configured in the
T0ABW and
T0LBW registers for various values from 18Hz to
400Hz. The AUTOBW bit in the
MCR9 register controls automatic bandwidth selection. When AUTOBW = 1, the
T0 DPLL uses the T0ABW bandwidth during acquisition (not phase-locked) and the T0LBW bandwidth when
phase-locked. When AUTOBW = 0 the T0 DPLL uses the T0LBW bandwidth all the time, both during acquisition
and when phase-locked.
When LIMINT = 1 in the
MCR9 register, the DPLL’s integral path is limited (i.e., frozen) when the DPLL reaches
minimum or maximum frequency. Setting LIMINT = 1 minimizes overshoot when the DPLL is pulling in.
7.7.3 Damping Factor
The damping factor for the T0 DPLL is configured in the DAMP field of the
T0CR2 register. The reset default
damping factor is chosen to give a maximum jitter/wander gain peak of approximately 0.1dB. Available settings are

7.7.4 Phase Detectors
Phase detectors are used to compare a PLL’s feedback clock with its input clock. Several phase detectors are
available in the T0 DPLL:
Phase/frequency detector (PFD)
Early/late phase detector (PD2) for fine resolution
Multicycle phase detector (MCPD) for large input jitter tolerance and/or faster lock times
These detectors can be used in combination to give fine phase resolution combined with large jitter tolerance. As
with the rest of the DPLL logic, the phase detectors operate at input frequencies up to 77.76MHz. The multicycle
