92 CY7B991 CY7B992 Programmable Skew Clock Buffer Features functions. These multiple-output clock drivers provide the system integrator with functions necessary to optimize the timing of high-performance computer systems. Eight individual drivers, arranged as four pairs of user-controllable outputs, can each drive terminated transmission lines with impedances as low as 50 while delivering minimal and specified output skews and full-swing logic levels (CY7B991 TTL or CY7B992 CMOS). * All output pair skew <100 ps typical (250 max.) * 3.75- to 80-MHz output operation * User-selectable output functions -- Selectable skew to 18 ns -- Inverted and non-inverted Each output can be hardwired to one of nine delay or function configurations. Delay increments of 0.7 to 1.5 ns are determined by the operating frequency with outputs able to skew up to 6 time units from their nominal "zero" skew position. The completely integrated PLL allows external load and transmission line delay effects to be canceled. When this "zero delay" capability of the PSCB is combined with the selectable output skew functions, the user can create output-to-output delays of up to 12 time units. -- Operation at 12 and 14 input frequency * * * * * * * -- Operation at 2x and 4x input frequency (input as low as 3.75 MHz) Zero input to output delay 50% duty-cycle outputs Outputs drive 50 terminated lines Low operating current 32-pin PLCC/LCC package Jitter < 200 ps peak-to-peak (< 25 ps RMS) Compatible with a PentiumTM-based processor Divide-by-two and divide-by-four output functions are provided for additional flexibility in designing complex clock systems. When combined with the internal PLL, these divide functions allow distribution of a low-frequency clock that can be multiplied by two or four at the clock destination. This facility minimizes clock distribution difficulty while allowing maximum system clock speed and flexibility.

Block Diagram Description Phase Frequency Detector and Filter These two blocks accept inputs from the reference frequency (REF) input and the feedback (FB) input and generate correction information to control the frequency of the Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO). These blocks, along with the VCO, form a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) that tracks the incoming REF signal. (xF0, xF1) inputs. Table 2 below shows the nine possible output functions for each section as determined by the function select inputs. All times are measured with respect to the REF input assuming that the output connected to the FB input has 0tU selected. Table 2. Programmable Skew Configurations[1] Function Selects Output Functions 1F1, 2F1, 3F1, 4F1 1F0, 2F0, 3F0, 4F0 The VCO accepts analog control inputs from the PLL filter block and generates a frequency that is used by the time unit generator to create discrete time units that are selected in the skew select matrix. The operational range of the VCO is determined by the FS control pin. The time unit (tU) is determined by the operating frequency of the device and the level of the FS pin as shown in Table 1.

For all three-state inputs, HIGH indicates a connection to VCC, LOW indicates a connection to GND, and MID indicates an open connection. Internal termination circuitry holds an unconnected input to VCC/2. 2. The level to be set on FS is determined by the "normal" operating frequency (fNOM) of the VCO and Time Unit Generator (see Logic Block Diagram). Nominal frequency (fNOM) always appears at 1Q0 and the other outputs when they are operated in their undivided modes (see Table 2). The frequency appearing at the REF and FB inputs will be fNOM when the output connected to FB is undivided. The frequency of the REF and FB inputs will be fNOM/2 or fNOM/4 when the part is configured for a frequency multiplication by using a divided output as the FB input. 3. When the FS pin is selected HIGH, the REF input must not transition upon power-up until VCC has reached 4.3V.

These inputs are normally wired to VCC, GND, or left unconnected (actual threshold voltages vary as a percentage of VCC). Internal termination resistors hold unconnected inputs at VCC/2. If these inputs are switched, the function and timing of the outputs may glitch and the PLL may require an additional tLOCK time before all datasheet limits are achieved. 8. CY7B991 should be tested one output at a time, output shorted for less than one second, less than 10% duty cycle. Room temperature only. CY7B992 outputs should not be shorted to GND. Doing so may cause permanent damage. 9. Total output current per output pair can be approximated by the following expression that includes device current plus load current: CY7B991: ICCN = [(4 + 0.11F) + [((835 - 3F)/Z) + (.0022FC)]N] x 1.1 CY7B992: ICCN = [(3.5+ 0.17F) + [((1160 - 2.8F)/Z) + (.0025FC)]N] x 1.1 Where F = frequency in MHz C = capacitive load in pF Z = line impedance in ohms N = number of loaded outputs; 0, 1, or 2 FC = F < C 10. Total power dissipation per output pair can be approximated by the following expression that includes device power dissipation plus power dissipation due to the load circuit: CY7B991: PD = [(22 + 0.61F) + [((1550 - 2.7F)/Z) + (.0125FC)]N] x 1.1 CY7B992: PD = [(19.25+ 0.94F) + [((700 + 6F)/Z) + (.017FC)]N] x 1.1 See note 9 for variable definition. 11.

Test measurement levels for the CY7B991 are TTL levels (1.5V to 1.5V). Test measurement levels for the CY7B992 are CMOS levels (VCC/2 to VCC/2). Test conditions assume signal transition times of 2 ns or less and output loading as shown in the AC Test Loads and Waveforms unless otherwise specified. 14. Guaranteed by statistical correlation. Tested initially and after any design or process changes that may affect these parameters. 15. Except as noted, all CY7B992-2 and -5 timing parameters are specified to 80-MHz with a 30-pF load. 16. SKEW is defined as 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 50 pF and terminated with 50 to 2.06V (CY7B991) or VCC/2 (CY7B992). 17. tSKEWPR is defined as the skew between a pair of outputs (XQ0 and XQ1) when all eight outputs are selected for 0tU. 18. tSKEW0 is defined as the skew between outputs when they are selected for 0tU. Other outputs are divided or inverted but not shifted. 19. CL=0 pF. For CL=30 pF, tSKEW0=0.35 ns. 20. There are three 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). 21. tDEV is the output-to-output skew between any two devices operating under the same conditions (VCC ambient temperature, air flow, etc.) 22. tODCV is the deviation of the output from a 50% duty cycle. Output pulse width variations are included in tSKEW2 and tSKEW4 specifications. 23. Specified with outputs loaded with 30 pF for the CY7B99X-2 and -5 devices and 50 pF for the CY7B99X-7 devices. Devices are terminated through 50 to 2.06V (CY7B991) or VCC/2 (CY7B992). 24. tPWH is measured at 2.0V for the CY7B991 and 0.8 VCC for the CY7B992. tPWL is measured at 0.8V for the CY7B991 and 0.2 VCC for the CY7B992. 25. tORISE and tOFALL measured between 0.8V and 2.0V for the CY7B991 or 0.8VCC and 0.2VCC for the CY7B992. 26. 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.

Zero-Skew and/or Zero-Delay Clock Driver Figure 2 shows the PSCB configured as a zero-skew clock buffer. In this mode the 7B991/992 can be used as the basis for a low-skew clock distribution tree. When all of the function select inputs (xF0, xF1) are left open, the outputs are aligned and may each drive a terminated transmission line to an independent load. The FB input can be tied to any output in this configuration and the operating frequency range is selected with the FS pin. The low-skew specification, coupled with the ability to drive terminated transmission lines (with impedances as low as 50 ohms), allows efficient printed circuit board design.

Programmable-Skew Clock Driver Figure 3 shows a configuration to equalize skew between metal traces of different lengths. In addition to low skew between outputs, the PSCB can be programmed to stagger the timing of its outputs. The four groups of output pairs can each be programmed to different output timing. Skew timing can be adjusted over a wide range in small increments with the appropriate strapping of the function select pins. In this configuration the 4Q0 output is fed back to FB and configured for zero skew. The other three pairs of outputs are programmed to yield different skews relative to the feedback. By advancing the clock signal on the longer traces or retarding the clock signal on shorter traces, all loads can receive the clock pulse at the same time.

The internal PLL synchronizes the FB and REF inputs and aligns their rising edges to insure that all outputs have precise phase alignment. Clock skews can be advanced by 6 time units (tU) when using an output selected for zero skew as the feedback. A wider range of delays is possible if the output connected to FB is also skewed. Since "Zero Skew", +tU, and -tU are defined relative to output groups, and since the PLL aligns the rising edges of REF and FB, it is possible to create wider output skews by proper selection of the xFn inputs. For example a +10 tU between REF and 3Qx can be achieved by connecting 1Q0 to FB and setting 1F0 = 1F1 = GND, Page 10 of 15 CY7B991 CY7B992 3F0 = MID, and 3F1 = High. (Since FB aligns at -4 tU and 3Qx skews to +6 tU, a total of +10 tU skew is realized.) Many other configurations can be realized by skewing both the output used as the FB input and skewing the other outputs. REF form at these outputs. Note that the 20- and 40-MHz clocks fall simultaneously and are out of phase on their rising edge. This will allow the designer to use the rising edges of the 12 frequency and 14 frequency outputs without concern for rising-edge skew. The 2Q0, 2Q1, 1Q0, and 1Q1 outputs run at 80 MHz and are skewed by programming their select inputs accordingly. Note that the FS pin is wired for 80-MHz operation because that is the frequency of the fastest output.

In this example the 4Q0 output used as the FB input is programmed for invert (4F0 = 4F1 = HIGH) while the other three pairs of outputs are programmed for zero skew. When 4F0 and 4F1 are tied high, 4Q0 and 4Q1 become inverted zero phase outputs. The PLL aligns the rising edge of the FB input with the rising edge of the REF. This causes the 1Q, 2Q, and 3Q outputs to become the "inverted" outputs with respect to the REF input. By selecting which output is connect to FB, it is possible to have 2 inverted and 6 non-inverted outputs or 6 inverted and 2 non-inverted outputs. The correct configuration would be determined by the need for more (or fewer) inverted outputs. 1Q, 2Q, and 3Q outputs can also be skewed to compensate for varying trace delays independent of inversion on 4Q.

Frequency Multiplier with Skew Connections Figure 5 illustrates the PSCB configured as a clock multiplier. The 3Q0 output is programmed to divide by four and is fed back to FB. This causes the PLL to increase its frequency until the 3Q0 and 3Q1 outputs are locked at 20 MHz while the 1Qx and 2Qx outputs run at 80 MHz. The 4Q0 and 4Q1 outputs are programmed to divide by two, which results in a 40-MHz waveDocument #: 38-07138 Rev. ** FB REF FS 4F0 4F1 4Q0 4Q1 10 MHz 3F0 3F1 2F0 2F1 3Q0 3Q1 5 MHz 1F0 1F1 TEST 1Q0 1Q1 2Q0 2Q1 20 MHz 7B991-13 Figure 6. Frequency Divider Connections Figure 6 demonstrates the PSCB in a clock divider application. 2Q0 is fed back to the FB input and programmed for zero skew. 3Qx is programmed to divide by four. 4Qx is programmed to divide by two. Note that the falling edges of the 4Qx and 3Qx outputs are aligned. This allows use of the rising edges of the 1 2 frequency and 14 frequency without concern for skew mismatch. The 1Qx outputs are programmed to zero skew and are aligned with the 2Qx outputs. In this example, the FS input is grounded to configure the device in the 15- to 30-MHz range since the highest frequency output is running at 20 MHz. Figure 7 shows some of the functions that are selectable on the 3Qx and 4Qx outputs. These include inverted outputs and outputs that offer divide-by-2 and divide-by-4 timing. An inverted output allows the system designer to clock different subsystems on opposite edges, without suffering from the pulse asymmetry typical of non-ideal loading. This function allows the two subsystems to each be clocked 180 degrees out of phase, but still to be aligned within the skew spec. The divided outputs offer a zero-delay divider for portions of the system that need the clock to be divided by either two or four, and still remain within a narrow skew of the "1X" clock. Without this feature, an external divider would need to be added, and the propagation delay of the divider would add to the skew between the different clock signals. These divided outputs, coupled with the Phase Locked Loop, allow the PSCB to multiply the clock rate at the REF input by either two or four. This mode will enable the designer to distribute a low-frequency clock between various portions of the system, and then locally multiply the clock rate to a more suitable frequency, while still maintaining the low-skew characteristics of the clock driver. The PSCB can perform all of the functions described above at the same time. It can multiply by two and four or divide by two (and four) at the same time that it is shifting its outputs over a wide range or maintaining zero skew between selected outputs.

Cascaded clock buffers will accumulate low-frequency jitter because of the non-ideal filtering characteristics of the PLL filter.
