The PFD takes inputs from the reference clock and feedback
divider to produce an output proportional to the phase and
frequency difference between them. Figure 15 shows a

The differential outputs are factory programmed to either LVPECL
or LVDS format, and either option can be sampled on request.
CMOS drivers tend to generate more noise than differential
outputs and, as a result, the proximity of the 33.33 MHz output
to Pin 21 and Pin 22 does affect the jitter performance when
FREQSEL = 0 (that is, when the differential output is generating
125 MHz). For this reason, the 33 MHz pin can be forced to a
low state by asserting the FORCE_LOW signal on Pin 37 (see
Table 16). An internal pull-down enables the 33.33 MHz output
if the pin is not connected.

POWER SUPPLY
The AD9572 requires a 3.3 V ± 10% power supply for VS. The
tables in the Specifications section give the performance expected
from the AD9572 with the power supply voltage within this
range. The absolute maximum range of −0.3 V to +3.6 V, with
respect to GND, must never be exceeded on the VS pin.
Good engineering practice should be followed in the layout of
power supply traces and the ground plane of the PCB. The
power supply should be bypassed on the PCB with adequate
capacitance (>10 μF). The AD9572 should be bypassed with
adequate capacitors (0.1 μF) at all power pins as close as
possible to the part. The layout of the AD9572 evaluation board
is a good example.
The exposed metal paddle on the AD9572 package is an electrical
connection, as well as a thermal enhancement. For the device to
function properly, the paddle must be properly attached to ground
(GND). The PCB acts as a heat sink for the AD9572; therefore,
this GND connection should provide a good thermal path to a
larger dissipation area, such as a ground plane on the PCB.
CMOS CLOCK DISTRIBUTION
The AD9572 provides two CMOS clock outputs (one 25 MHz
and one 33.33 MHz) that are dedicated CMOS levels. Whenever
single-ended CMOS clocking is used, some of the following
general guidelines should be followed.
Point-to-point nets should be designed such that a driver has
one receiver only on the net, if possible. This allows for simple
termination schemes and minimizes ringing due to possible
mismatched impedances on the net. Series termination at the
source is generally required to provide transmission line
matching and/or to reduce current transients at the driver.
