External Filter Components
9.1.1
General
The PLL behavior is affected by the external filter component values in the Typical Connection Diagrams.
Figure 5 and Figure 6 show the recommended configuration of the two capacitors and one resistor that
comprise the PLL filter. The external PLL component values listed in Table 16 have a high corner-frequen-
cy jitter-attenuation curve, take a short time to lock, and offer good output jitter performance. Lock times
are worst case for an Fsi transition of 192 kHz.

Table 16. PLL External Component Values
It is important to treat the LPFILT pin as a low-level analog input. It is suggested that the ground end of
the PLL filter be returned directly to the AGND pin independently of the digital ground plane.
9.1.2
Capacitor Selection
The type of capacitors used for the PLL filter can have a significant effect on PLL performance. Large or
exotic film capacitors are not necessary because their leads, and the required longer circuit board traces,
add undesirable inductance to the circuit. Surface-mount ceramic capacitors are a good choice because
their own inductance is low, and they can be mounted close to the LPFLT pin to minimize trace induc-
tance. For CRIP, a C0G or NPO dielectric is recommended; and for CFILT, an X7R dielectric is preferred.
Avoid capacitors with large temperature co-coefficient, or capacitors with high dielectric constants, that
are sensitive to shock and vibration. These include the Z5U and Y5V dielectrics.
