8V19N49x Hardware Design Guide
1. Overview
As indicated, this document provides board-level hardware design guidelines for the 8V19N49x product family.
The document also recommends power rail handling, loop filter calculation, and input/output termination. A
general schematic example is shown in Figure 1. A more detailed version is available upon request.

2. Power Rails
2.1 Bypass Capacitors
Bypass capacitors are required to filter out the system noise from switching power supplies and switching signal
interference from other parts of the system. Figure 1 shows examples of bypass capacitors on the schematic. A
PCB layout example is also available upon request. The type of bypass capacitor will depend on the noise level
and noise frequencies in the system environment. The synthesizer output driver switching can also cause power
rail noise. These noises can also interfere with other parts of the circuit or cause spur on other output channels.
The bypass capacitor values are usually in the range of 0.01uF to 0.1uF; however, other values can be used.
Typical capacitor sizes are 0603, 0402, or 0201 with low ESR. The dielectric types typically are X5R or X7R. The
smaller size allows the capacitor to be placed close to the power pin and reduces the trace length. Some capacitor
vendors such as AVX provide online tools and models to provide the frequency response of the capacitors.
Figure 2 to Figure 5 show the frequency response of various value capacitors provided by the capacitor supplier
AVX. The frequency response plot shows that the smaller value capacitor can filter out high frequency noise and a
larger value capacitor can filter out lower frequency noise. Typical power supply switching frequency can be

approximately 50KHz to 2MHz. Switching noise from other parts of the system can be varied. A combination of
various values are suggested to cover low frequency and high frequency noise.
To minimize ESR between power pins and the bypass capacitors, Renesas suggests at least one bypass cap per
power pin and to place these capacitors as close as possible to the power pins. Thicker trace widths between the
bypass capacitor and power pin can also help reduce the ESR.

2.2 Power Supply Isolation
Analog power rails require cleaner power to optimize the jitter performance of PLLs. Most parts in the N49x family
contain built-in LDOs. An external ultra-low noise LDO may not be required but it is recommended for reducing
power supply noise for noise-sensitive power lines such as VDD_LCF and the external VCXO. An LDO with a
noise level of less than 6uVrms from 10Hz to100kHz is recommended. This ultra-low noise LDO is mainly for the
external VCXO that does not have a built-in LDO, and this affects the performance of 100Hz to 100kHz region.
It is suggested to isolate the analog power rail from other high-noise power rails. The isolation can be
implemented through an RC low pass filter. The larger RC component values can reduce the cutoff frequency
further and clean up lower frequency noise. For the VDDO output supplies, to reduce output frequency
interference, the power rails between the output banks that operate at different output frequencies can be isolated
using separate LDOs or using 1 to 2 ohm resistors if they share the same power source. Additional smaller value
capacitors (e.g., 100pF) in parallel with the existing 0.1uF near the power pins can provide additional higher
frequency noise filtering.

Figure 9. Typical 2nd Order Loop Filter
To calculate loop filter component values for loop bandwidth Fc = 40Hz with the reference CLK input frequency
equals to 30.72MHz, set the input pre-divider Pv = 256. The phase detector input frequency Fpd = 0.12MHz. This
satisfies the condition of Fpd / Fc >> 20.
The VCXO frequency Fvcxo = 122.88MHz, the effective feedback divider.
N = Mv = Fvcxo / Fpd = 1024
Rs can be calculated from the equation,
Rs = 33k ohm
Kvco VCO gain can be found or derived from the VCXO datasheet. The VCO gain can also be measured from lab
experiments. In this example, we use Kvco = 10kHz/V.
The 8V19N490 charge pump current can be programmed from 50uA to 1.6mA. In this example, assume the
charge pump current is programmed to Icp = 800uA.
Cs can be calculated from the following equation,
For α = 8, Cs is calculated to be 0.99uF. Cs greater than this value can be used to ensure that the α is greater than
12. For example, the actual chosen value can be 1uF from a standard capacitor value.
Cp can be calculated from the following equation,
For β = 4, Cp = 31nF. Less than this value can be used for Cp to assure that the β is greater than 4 (e.g., actual
chosen value Cp can be 27nF).

3.3.1.2 Third Order Loop Filter for the VCXO PLL
This section provides design guidelines for a 3rd order loop filter for the 8V19N490 VCXO PLL. A general 3rd
order loop filter is displayed in Figure 10.
Figure 10. Typical 3rd Order Loop Filter
The Rs, Cs, and Cp are chosen standard values from the 2nd order loop filter. In this example, the chosen values
are Rs = 33KOhm, Cs = 1uF, and Cp = 27nF. The following equation can help determine the 3rd order loop filter,
R3 and C3.
1. Choose an R3 value. Suggest R3 ~ 1.5xRs to ~2.5xRs or greater (e.g, R3 = 51KHz is used in this example).
C3 can be calculated using the following equation:
2. Pick γ = 4 in this example.
C3 is calculated to be 4.37nF. A closest standard capacitor value can be used.
