DESCRIPTION:
The IDT5V991A is a high fanout 3.3V PLL based clock driver
intended for high performance computing and data-communications
applications. A key feature of the programmable skew is the ability of
outputs to lead or lag the REF input signal. The IDT5V991A has eight
programmable skew outputs in four banks of 2. Skew is controlled by
3-level input signals that may be hard-wired to appropriate HIGH-MID-
LOW levels.
When the GND/sOE pin is held low, all the outputs are synchro-
nously enabled. However, if GND/sOE is held high, all the outputs
except 3Q0 and 3Q1 are synchronously disabled.
Furthermore, when the VCCQ/PE is held high, all the outputs are
synchronized with the positive edge of the REF clock input. When
VCCQ/PE is held low, all the outputs are synchronized with the negative
edge of REF. Both devices have LVTTL outputs with 12mA balanced
drive outputs.

NOTE:
1. Stresses beyond those listed under ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS may cause per-
manent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of
the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated condi-
tions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

TOP VIEW
Output skew with respect to the REF input is adjustable to com-
pensate for PCB trace delays, backplane propagation delays or to
accommodate requirements for special timing relationships between
clocked components. Skew is selectable as a multiple of a time unit
tU which is of the order of a nanosecond (see PLL Programmable
Skew Range and Resolution Table). There are nine skew configura-
tions available for each output pair. These configurations are chosen
by the nF1:0 control pins. In order to minimize the number of control
pins, 3-level inputs (HIGH-MID-LOW) are used, they are intended for
but not restricted to hard-wiring. Undriven 3-level inputs default to
the MID level. Where programmable skew is not a requirement, the
control pins can be left open for the zero skew default setting. The
Control Summary Table shows how to select specific skew taps by
using the nF1:0 control pins.

PIN DESCRIPTION
Pin Name Type Description
REF IN Reference Clock Input
FB IN Feedback Input
TEST (1) IN When MID or HIGH, disables PLL (except for conditions of Note 1). REF goes to all outputs. Skew selections (see Control
Summary Table) remain in effect. Set LOW for normal operation.
GND/ sOE (1) IN Synchronous Output Enable. When HIGH, it stops clock outputs (except 3Q0 and 3Q1) in a LOW state - 3Q0 and 3Q1 may be
used as the feedback signal to maintain phase lock. When TEST is held at MID level and GND/sOE is HIGH, the nF[1:0] pins
act as output disable controls for individual banks when nF[1:0] = LL. Set GND/sOE LOW for normal operation.
VCCQ/PE IN Selectable positive or negative edge control. When LOW/HIGH the outputs are synchronized with the negative/positive edge of
the reference clock.
nF[1:0] IN 3-level inputs for selecting 1 of 9 skew taps or frequency functions
FS IN Selects appropriate oscillator circuit based on anticipated frequency range. (See PLL Programmable Skew Range.)
nQ[1:0] OUT Four banks of two outputs with programmable skew
VCCN PWR Power supply for output buffers
VCCQ PWR Power supply for phase locked loop and other internal circuitry
GND PWR Ground
NOTE:
1.When TEST = MID and GND/sOE = HIGH, PLL remains active with nF[1:0] = LL functioning as an output disable control for individual output banks. Skew selections remain in effect
unless nF[1:0] = LL.

EXTERNAL FEEDBACK
By providing external feedback, the IDT5V991A gives users flex-
ibility with regard to skew adjustment. The FB signal is compared
with the input REF signal at the phase detector in order to drive the
VCO. Phase differences cause the VCO of the PLL to adjust upwards
or downwards accordingly.
NOTES:
1. The device may be operated outside recommended frequency ranges without damage, but functional operation is not guaranteed. Selecting the appropriate FS value based on input
frequency range allows the PLL to operate in its ‘sweet spot’ where jitter is lowest.
2. The level to be set on FS is determined by the nominal operating frequency of the VCO and Time Unit Generator. The VCO frequency always appears at 1Q1:0, 2Q1:0, and the higher
outputs when they are operated in their undivided modes. The frequency appearing at the REF and FB inputs will be the same as the VCO when the output connected to FB is undivided.
The frequency of the REF and FB inputs will be 1/2 or 1/4 the VCO frequency when the part is configured for a frequency multiplication by using a divided output as the FB input.
3. Skew adjustment range assumes that a zero skew output is used for feedback. If a skewed Q output is used for feedback, then adjustment range will be greater. For example if a 4tU skewed
output is used for feedback, all other outputs will be skewed –4tU in addition to whatever skew value is programmed for those outputs. ‘Max adjustment’ range applies to output pairs 3 and
4 where ± 6tU skew adjustment is possible and at the lowest FNOM value.
An internal loop filter moderates the response of the VCO to the
phase detector. The loop filter transfer function has been chosen to
provide minimal jitter (or frequency variation) while still providing ac-
curate responses to input frequency changes.

2. Skew is the time between the earliest and the latest output transition among all outputs for which the same tU delay has been selected when all are loaded with the specified load.
3. tSKEWPR is the skew between a pair of outputs (xQ0 and xQ1) when all eight outputs are selected for 0tU.
4. tSKEW0 is the skew between outputs when they are selected for 0tU.
5. For IDT5V991A-2 tSKEW0 is measured with CL = 0pF; for CL = 30pF, tSKEW0 = 0.35ns Max.
6. There are 3 classes of outputs: Nominal (multiple of tU delay), Inverted (4Q0 and 4Q1 only with 4F0 = 4F1 = HIGH), and Divided (3Qx and 4Qx only in Divide-by-2 or Divide-by-4 mode).
7. tDEV is the output-to-output skew between any two devices operating under the same conditions (VCC, ambient temperature, air flow, etc.)
8. tLOCK is the time that is required before synchronization is achieved. This specification is valid only after VCC is stable and within normal operating limits. This parameter is measured
from the application of a new signal or frequency at REF or FB until tPD is within specified limits.
9. tPD is measured with REF input rise and fall times (from 0.8V to 2V) of 1ns.
10. Measured at 2V.

NOTES:
VCCQ/PE: The AC Timing Diagram applies to VCCQ/PE=VCC. For VCCQ/PE=GND, the negative edge of FB aligns with the negative edge of REF, divided outputs change on the negative edge
of REF, and the positive edges of the divide-by-2 and the divide-by-4 signals align.
Skew: The time between the earliest and the latest output transition among all outputs for which the same tU delay has been selected when all are loaded with 20pF and terminated with
75Ω to VCC/2.
tSKEWPR: The skew between a pair of outputs (xQ0 and xQ1) when all eight outputs are selected for 0tU.
tSKEW0: The skew between outputs when they are selected for 0tU.
tDEV: The output-to-output skew between any two devices operating under the same conditions (VCC, ambient temperature, air flow, etc.)
tODCV: The deviation of the output from a 50% duty cycle. Output pulse width variations are included in tSKEW2 and tSKEW4 specifications.
tPWH is measured at 2V.
tPWL is measured at 0.8V.
tORISE and tOFALL are measured between 0.8V and 2V.
tLOCK: The time that is required before synchronization is achieved. This specification is valid only after VCC is stable and within normal operating limits. This parameter is measured from
