Example 2:
Fxtal = 18.432 MHz, Fref = 2.304 MHz.
Pdvsr = Integer [Fxtal/Fref] = 8 = 8h;
Prst[2:0] = 1- 1 = 0 from Fref/Fxtal = 18.432/2.304 = 8/1;
Pseq = {x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x} = xxh
Example 3:
Fxtal = 24.576 MHz, fref = 2.4576 MHz.
Pdvsr = Integer [ Fxtal/Fref] = 10 = Ah;
Prst[2:0] = 1- 1 = 0 from Fref/Fxtal = 24.576/2.4576 = 10/1;
Pseq = {x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x} = xxh
It is also important to note that when Fxtal/Fref is an integer the output of the pre-scaler is a straight
frequency divider (example 2). As such there will be no jitter generated at Fref. However if Fxtal/Fref is
a fractional number, Fref, at the output of the pre-scaler NCO would be exact only in an average sense
(example 1) and there will be a certain amount of fixed pattern (repeating) jitter associated with Fref which
can be filtered out by the PLL that follows by appropriately programming the PLL. It is important to note,
however, that the fixed pattern jitter does not degrade the performance of the sigma delta modulators so
long as its frequency is >> 4 kHz.

Figure 17: PLL Block Diagram
1903B has a built in PLL circuit to allow an operation over wide range of Fs. It is of a conventional design
with the exception of an NCO based feedback divider. See Figure 17. The architecture of the 73m1903
dictates that the PLL output frequency, Fvco, be related to the sampling rate, fs, by fvco = 2 x 2304 x fs.
The nco must function as a divider whose divide ratio equals Fref/Fvco.
Just as in the NCO pre-scaler, a set of three numbers– Ndvsr (7 bits), Nrst (3 bit ) and Nseq (8 bits)
must be entered through a serial port to effect this divide:
Ndvsr = Integer [ Fref/Fxtal ] ;
Nrst = denominator of the ratio (Fvco/Fref), Dnco1, minus 1, when it is expressed as a ratio of two
smallest integers = Nnco1/Dnco1;
Nseq = Divide Sequence
Example 1:
Fs = 7.2 kHz or Fvco = 2 x 2304 x 7.2 kHz =33.1776 MHz, Fref = 1.728 MHz.
Ndvsr = Integer [ Fvco/Fref ] = 19
Nrst = 5 – 1 = 4 from Fvco/Fref = 19.2 = 96/5;
Nseq = ÷19, ÷19, ÷19, ÷19, ÷20 => {0,0,0,0,1} =xxx00001 = 01h.
