5VECL 1:6 Differential
Clock Distribution Chip
The MC10E/100E211 is a low skew 1:6 fanout device designed
explicitly for low skew clock distribution applications.
The E211 features a multiplexed clock input to allow for the
distribution o f a l ower s peed s can o r t est clock a long w ith t he high s peed
system clock. When LOW (or left open in which case it will be pulled
LOW by the input pulldown resistor) the SEL pin will select the
differential clock input.
Both a common enable and individual output enables are provided.
When asserted the positive output will go LOW on the next negative
transition of the CLK (or SCLK) input. The enabling function is
synchronous so that the outputs will only be enabled/disabled when the
outputs are already in the LOW state. In this way the problem of runt
pulse generation during the disable operation is avoided. Note that the
internal flip flop is clocked on the falling edge of the input clock edge,
therefore all associated specifications are referenced to the negative
edge of the CLK input.
The output transitions of the E211 are faster than the standard
ECLinPS edge rates. This feature provides a means of distributing
higher frequency signals than c apable w ith t he E111 device. B ecause o f
these edge rates and the tight skew limits guaranteed in the
specification, there are certain termination guidelines which must be
followed. For more details on the recommended termination schemes
please refer to the applications information section of this data sheet.
The VBB pin, an internally generated voltage supply, is available to
this device only. For single−ended input conditions, the unused
differential input is connected to VBB as a switching reference v oltage.
VBB may a lso r ebias A C c oupled i nputs. W hen u sed, d ecouple V BB and
VCC via a 0.01 F capacitor and limit current sourcing or sinking to
0.5 mA. When not used, VBB should be left open.
The 100 Series contains temperature compensation.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
General Description
The MC10E/100E211 is a 1:6 fanout tree designed
explicitly for low skew high speed clock distribution. The
device was targeted to work in conjunction with the E111
device to provide another level of flexibility in the design
and implementation of clock distribution trees. The
individual synchronous enable controls and multiplexed
clock inputs make the device ideal as the first level
distribution unit in a distribution tree. The device provides
the ability to distribute a lower speed scan or test clock along
with the high speed system clock to ease the design of system
diagnostics and self test procedures. The individual enables
could be used to allow for the disabling of individual cards
on a backplane in fault tolerant designs.
Because of lower fanout and larger skews the E211 will
not likely be used as an alternative to the E111 for the bulk
of the clock fanout generation. Figure 12 shows a typical
application combining the two devices to take advantage of
the strengths of each.

Using the E211 in PECL Designs
The E211 device can be utilized very effectively in
designs utilizing only a +5 V power supply. Since the
internal switching reference levels are biased of f o f the VCC
supply the input thresholds for the single−ended inputs will
vary with VCC. As a result the single−ended inputs should be
driven by a device on the same board as the E211. Driving
these inputs across a backplane where significant
differences between the VCCs of the transmitter and
receiver can occur can lead to AC performance and/or
significant noise margin degradations. Because the
differential I/O does not use a switching reference, and due
to the CMR range of the E211, even under worst case VCC
situations between cards there will be no AC performance or
noise margin loss for the differential CLK inputs.
For situations where TTL clocks are required the E211 can
be interfaced with the H641 or H643 ECL to TTL Clock
Distribution Chips. The H641 is a single supply 1:9 PECL
to TTL device while the H643 is a 1:8 dual supply standard
ECL to TTL device. By combining the superior skew
performance of the E211, or E111, with the low skew
translating capabilities of the H641 and H643 very low skew
TTL clock distribution networks can be realized.
Handling Open Inputs and Outputs
All of the input pins of the E211 have a 50 k to 75 k
pulldown resistor to pull the input to VEE when left open.
This feature can cause a problem if the differential clock
inputs are left open as the input gate current source transistor
will become saturated. Under these conditions the outputs of
the CLK input buffer will go to an undefined state. It is
recommended, if possible,that the SCLK input should be
selected any time the differential CLK inputs are allowed to
float. The SCLK buffer, under open input conditions, will
maintain a defined output state and thus the Q outputs of the
device will be in a defined state (Q = LOW). Note that if all
of the inputs are left open the differential CLK input will be
selected and the state of the Q outputs will be undefined.
With the simultaneous switching characteristics and the
tight skew specifications of the E211 the handling of the
unused outputs becomes critical. To minimize the noise
generated on the die all outputs should be terminated in
pairs, i.e. both the true and compliment outputs should be
terminated even if only one of the outputs will be used in the
system. With both complimentary pairs terminated the
current in the VCC pins will remain essentially constant and
thus inductance induced voltage glitches on VCC will not
occur. VCC glitches will result in distorted output
waveforms and degradations in the skew performance of the
device.
The package parasitics of the PLCC−28 cause the signals
on a given pin to be influenced by signals on adjacent pins.
The E211 is characterized and tested with all of the outputs
switching, therefore the numbers in the data book are
guaranteed only for this situation. If all of the outputs of the
E211 are not needed and there is a desire to save power the
unused output pairs can be left unterminated. Unterminated
outputs can influence the propagation delay on adjacent pins
by 15 ps − 20 ps. Therefore under these conditions this 15 ps
20 ps needs to be added to the overall skew of the device.
Pins which are separated by a package corner are not
considered adjacent pins in the context of propagation delay
influence. Therefore as long as all of the outputs on a single
side of the package are terminated the specification limits in
the data sheet will apply.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Differential versus Single−Ended Use
As can be seen from the data sheet, to minimize the skew
of the E21 1 the device must be used in the differential mode.
In the single−ended mode the propagation delays are
dependent on the relative position of the VBB switching
reference. Any VBB o f fset from the center of the input swing
will add delay to either the T PLH or TPHL and subtract delay
from the other. This increase and decrease in delay will lead
to an increase in the duty cycle skew and thus part−to−part
skew. The within−device skew will be independent of the
VBB and therefore will be the same regardless of whether the
device is driven differentially or single−ended.
For applications where part−to−part skew or duty cycle
skew are not important the advantages of single−ended
clock distribution may lead to its use. Using single−ended
interconnect will reduce the number of signal traces to be
routed, but remember that all of the complimentary outputs
still need to be terminated therefore there will be no
reduction in the termination components required. To use
the E211 with a single−ended input the arrangement pictured
in Figure 14 should be used. If the input to the differential
CLK inputs are AC coupled as pictured in Figure 13 the
dependence on a centered VBB reference is removed. The
situation pictured will ensure that the input is centered
around the bias set by the VBB. As a result when AC coupled
the AC specification limits for a differential input can be
used. For more information on AC coupling please refer to
the interfacing section of the design guide in the ECLinPS
data book.
Using the Enable Pins
Both the common enable (CEN) and the individual
enables (ENx) are synchronous to the CLK or SCLK input
depending on which is selected. The active low signals are
clocked into the enable flip flops on the negative edges of the
E211 clock inputs. In this way the devices will only be
disabled when the outputs are already in the LOW state. The
internal propagation delays are such that the delay to the
output through the distribution buffers is less than that
through the enable flip flops. This will ensure that the
disabling of the device will not slice any time off the clock
pulse. O n initial power up the enable flip flops will randomly
attain a stable state, therefore precautions should be taken o n
initial power up to ensure the E211 is in the desired state.
