DESCRIPTION:
The IDT5991A is a high fanout 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 IDT5991A 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.
The IDT5991A maintains Cypress CY7B991 compatibility while pro-
viding two additional features: Synchronous Output Enable (GND/
sOE
),
and Positive/Negative Edge Synchronization (VCCQ/PE). When the GND/
sOE
pin is held low, all the outputs are synchronously enabled (CY7B991
compatibility). 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 syn-
chronized with the positive edge of the REF clock input (CY7B991 com-
patibility). When VCCQ/PE is held low, all the outputs are synchronized
with the negative edge of REF.

permanent 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-

PIN DESCRIPTION
Pin Name Type Description
REF I N Reference Clock Input
FB I N Feedback Input
TEST (1) I N 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) I N 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 I N 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] I N 3-level inputs for selecting 1 of 9 skew taps or frequency functions
FS I N 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.
PLCC
TOP VIEW
Output skew with respect to the REF input is adjustable to compensate
for PCB trace delays, backplane propagation delays or to accommodate
requirements for special timing relationships between clocked compo-
nents. 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 configurations 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.

EXTERNAL FEEDBACK
By providing external feedback, the IDT5991A gives users flexibility
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 accu-
rate responses to input frequency changes.

NOTES:
1. These inputs are normally wired to VCC, GND, or unconnected. Internal termination resistors bias unconnected inputs to VCC/2. If these inputs are switched, the function and
timing of the outputs may be glitched, and the PLL may require an additional tLOCK time before all datasheet limits are achieved.
2. This is to be measured at 25
°C
with 10:1 duty cycle, one output at a time, and one second maximum.

NOTES:
1. All timing and jitter tolerances apply for FNOM > 25MHz.
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 IDT5991A-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.
11. Measured at 0.8V.

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.
