DIGITAL LOCK DETECT (DLD)
By selecting the proper output through the mux on each pin, the
DLD function is available at the LD, STATUS, and REFMON pins.
The DLD circuit indicates a lock when the time difference of
the rising edges at the PFD inputs is less than a specified value
(the lock threshold). The loss of a lock is indicated when the
time difference exceeds a specified value (the unlock threshold).
Note that the unlock threshold is wider than the lock threshold,
which allows some phase error in excess of the lock window to
occur without chattering on the lock indicator.
The lock detect window timing depends on three settings: the
DLD window bit (0x18<4>), the antibacklash pulse width
setting (0x17<1:0>, see Table 2), and the lock detect counter
(0x18<6:5>). A lock is not indicated until there is a programmable
number of consecutive PFD cycles with a time difference less
than the lock detect threshold. The lock detect circuit continues
to indicate a lock until a time difference greater than the unlock
threshold occurs on a single subsequent cycle. For the lock
detect to work properly, the period of the PFD frequency must
be greater than the unlock threshold. The number of consecutive
PFD cycles required for lock is programmable (0x18<6:5>).
Analog Lock Detect (ALD)
The AD9518 provides an ALD function that may be selected for
use at the LD pin. There are two versions of ALD:
• N-channel open-drain lock detect. This signal requires a
• P-channel open-drain lock detect. This signal requires a pull-
The analog lock detect function requires an R-C filter to
provide a logic level indicating lock/unlock.
Current Source Digital Lock Detect (DLD)
During the PLL locking sequence, it is normal for the DLD
signal to toggle a number of times before remaining steady
when the PLL is completely locked and stable. There may be
applications where it is desirable to have DLD asserted only
after the PLL is solidly locked. This is possible by using the
current source lock detect function. This function is set by
selecting it as the output from the LD pin control (0x1A<5:0>).

The current source lock detect provides a current of 110 μA
when DLD is true and shorts to ground when DLD is false.
If a capacitor is connected to the LD pin, it charges at a rate
determined by the current source during the DLD true time
but is discharged nearly instantly when DLD is false. By
monitoring the voltage at the LD pin (top of the capacitor), it is
only possible to get a Logic High level after the DLD has been
true for a sufficiently long time. Any momentary DLD false
resets the charging. By selecting a properly sized capacitor, it is
possible to delay a lock detect indication until the PLL is stably
locked, and the lock detect does not chatter.
The voltage on the capacitor can be sensed by an external
comparator connected to the LD pin. However, there is an
internal LD pin comparator that can be read at the REFMON
pin control (0x1B<4:0>) or the STATUS pin control (0x17<7:2>)
as an active high signal. It is also available as an active low signal
(REFMON, 0x1B<4:0> and STATUS, 0x17<7:2>). The internal
LD pin comparator trip point and hysteresis are given in Table 15.
External VCXO/VCO Clock Input (CLK/ CLK )
CLK is a differential input that can be used as an input to drive
the AD9518 clock distribution section. This input can receive
up to 2.4 GHz. The pins are internally self-biased, and the input
signal should be ac-coupled via capacitors.
The CLK/ CLK input can be used as a distribution-only input
(with the PLL off) or as a feedback input for an external
VCO/VCXO using the internal PLL when the internal VCO is
not used. The CLK/ CLK input can be used for frequencies up
to 2.4 GHz.
