2.0 Description
The FS61857 is a low skew, low jitter CMOS zero-delay
phase-lock loop (PLL) clock buffer IC. Ten differential
buffered clock outputs are derived from an onboard open-
loop PLL. The PLL aligns the frequency and phase of all
output clock pairs to the differential reference input clock
CLKP/CLKN, including a feedback output clock pair that
feeds back to FBINP/FBINN to close the loop. The PLL
can be bypassed for test purposes by pulling AVDD to
ground.

3.0 Device Operation
The FS61857 precisely aligns the frequency and phase
of the differential HSTL output clocks to the differential
reference input CKP/CKN by use of an on-chip phase-
lock loop (PLL). The PLL generates 10 low-skew, low-
jitter copies of the reference, with the outputs adjusted for
50% duty cycle.
The differential FBOUT clock must be hardwired to the
FBINP/FBINN pins to complete the loop. The PLL ac-
tively adjusts the output clocks so that there is no phase
error between the reference clock and the feedback in-
put.
Since the device uses a PLL to lock the output clocks to
the input clock, there is a power-up stabilization time that
is required for the PLL to achieve phase lock.
Note that all inputs and outputs use 2.5V HSTL signal
levels.
3.1 PLL Bypass
When the AVDD pin is pulled low, the reference clock
signal bypasses the PLL and is muxed directly through to
the outputs. The PLL is powered down, and device acts a
fanout buffer. Note that if AVDD is re-established, the
PLL requires a power-up and stabilization time to lock to
the input clock.
3.2 Power-Down
The FS61857 provides an auto power-down feature that
shuts off the PLL and tristates all outputs low if the refer-
ence clock drops below 20MHz. The power-down circuit
is level sensitive, and detects either a DC high or low on
the CKP/CKN input pair. If the input clock rises above
20MHz, the PLL powers back up to re-establish lock.
An asynchronous active-low PWRDWN# signal also
places the part in the power off state.
