phase_offset_value[15:8]
Register forming part of the phase offset control. If
the phase offset register is written to when the DPLL
is locked to an input, then it is possible that some
internal signals become out of synchronization. In
order to avoid this, the phase offset is automatically
“ramped” to the new value. If the phase offset is
only ever adjusted when the device is in Holdover,
then this is not necessary, and this automatic
“ramping” can be disabled, see Reg. 7C,
cnfg_sync_monitor.
This register is ignored and has no affect when
Phase Build-out is enabled in either Reg. 48 or
Reg. 76.
-
The value in this register is to be concatenated with
the contents of Reg. 70 cnfg_phase_offset[7:0].
This value is a 16-bit 2’s complement signed
number. The value multiplied by 6.279 represents
the extent of the applied phase offset in
picoseconds.
The phase offset register is not a control to a
“traditional” delay line. This number 6.279 actually
represents a fractional portion of the period of an
internal 77.76 MHz cycle and can, therefore, be
represented more accurately as follows. Each bit
value of the register represents the period of the
internal 77.76 MHz clock divided by 211.
If, for example, the DPLL is locked to a reference
that is +1 ppm in frequency with respect to a perfect
oscillator, then the period, and hence the phase
offset, will be decreased by 1 ppm. Programming a
value of 1024 into the phase offset register will
produce a complete inversion of the 77.76 MHz
output clock.
Note...The exact period of the internal 77.76 MHz
clock is determined by the current state of the DPLL
i.e. in Locked mode its accuracy depends on that of
the locked to input, in Holdover or Free-run it
depends on the accuracy of the external oscillator.
