PRODUCTION DATA
Each DPLL supports locking to an input clock that has missing periods and is referred to as a gapped clock. Gapping a clock severely increases the jitter, so the device provides the high input jitter tolerance and low loop bandwidth necessary to generate a low-jitter periodic output clock. The resulting output is a periodic non-gapped clock with an average frequency of the input with the missing cycles. The gapped clock width cannot be longer be than the reference clock period after the R divider (RINx / fINx). The reference input monitors must be configured to avoid any flags due to the worst-case clock gapping scenario to achieve and maintain lock. Reference switchover between two gapped clock inputs can violate the hitless switching specification if the switch occurs during a gap in either input clock.
