What's the timing window to update dual-modulus divider divider ratio control?
Sep 20th, 2022, 7:40pm
 
In frac-N PLL, if I use dual-modulous divider as shown in the figure, what is the safe time window to update the divider ratio control word P<N:0>?

Intuitively the safe window is to update the p<n:0> when all mod0-modn signals are logic low. Not sure if this is correct and can assure the divider operates glitch-free.

Thanks,
Neo

An approach I have used is to synchronize the divider option. p(N:0>, to the output clock. There will still exist a maximum input frequency, but this approach worked well for me.
