SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNICAL DATA
The MC88915 Clock Driver utilizes phase–locked loop
technology to lock its low skew outputs’ frequency and phase
onto an input reference clock. It is designed to provide clock
distribution for high performance PC’s and workstations.
The PLL allows the high current, low skew outputs to lock
onto a single clock input and distribute it with essentially zero
delay to multiple components on a board. The PLL also allows
the MC88915 to multiply a low frequency input clock and
distribute it locally at a higher (2X) system frequency. Multiple
88915’s can lock onto a single reference clock, which is ideal
for applications when a central system clock must be
distributed synchronously to multiple boards (see Figure 7).
Five “Q” outputs (QO–Q4) are provided with less than 500
ps skew between their rising edges. The Q5 output is inverted
(180° phase shift) from the “Q” outputs. The 2X_Q output runs
at twice the “Q” output frequency, while the Q/2 runs at 1/2 the
“Q” frequency.
The VCO is designed to run optimally between 20 MHz and
the 2X_Q Fmax specification. The wiring diagrams in Figure 5
detail the different feedback configurations which create
specific input/output frequency relationships. Possible
frequency ratios of the “Q” outputs to the SYNC input are 2:1,
1:1, and 1:2.
The FREQ_SEL pin provides one bit programmable
divide–by in the feedback path of the PLL. It selects between
divide–by–1 and divide–by–2 of the VCO before its signal
reaches the internal clock distribution section of the chip (see
the block diagram on page 2). In most applications
FREQ_SEL should be held high (÷1). If a low frequency
reference clock input is used, holding FREQ_SEL low (÷2) will
allow the VCO to run in its optimal range (>20 MHz).
In normal phase–locked operation the PLL_EN pin is held
high. Pulling the PLL_EN pin low disables the VCO and puts
the 88915 in a static “test mode”. In this mode there is no
frequency limitation on the input clock, which is necessary for
a low frequency board test environment. The second SYNC
input can be used as a test clock input to further simplify
board–level testing (see detailed description on page 11).
A lock indicator output (LOCK) will go high when the loop is
in steady–state phase and frequency lock. The LOCK output
will go low if phase–lock is lost or when the PLL_EN pin is low.
Under certain conditions the lock output may remain low, even
though the part is phase–locked. Therefore the LOCK output
signal should not be used to drive any active circuitry; it should
be used for passive monitoring or evaluation purposes only.

statistical characterization. In this way all units passing
the ATE test will meet or exceed the non–tested
specifications limits.
1. Several specifications can only be measured when the
MC88915 is in phase–locked operation. It is not possible
to have the part in phase–lock on ATE (automated test
equipment). Statistical characterization techniques were
used to guarantee those specifications which cannot be
measured on the ATE. MC88915 units were fabricated
with key transistor properties intentionally varied to
create a 14 cell designed experimental matrix. IC
performance was characterized over a range of transistor
properties (represented by the 14 cells) in excess of the
expected process variation of the wafer fabrication area.
Response Surface Modeling (RSM) techniques were
used to relate IC performance to the CMOS transistor
properties over operation voltage and temperature. IC
Performance to each specification and fab variation were
used in conjunction with Yield Surface Modeling (YSM
) methodology to set performance limits of ATE testable
specifications within those which are to be guaranteed by

2. These two specs (tRlSE/FALL and tPULSE Width 2X_Q

68040 P–Clock input specification (at 50 MHz). For these
two specs to be guaranteed by Motorola, the termination
scheme shown below in Figure 1 must be used.
3. The wiring Diagrams and written explanations in Figure 5
demonstrate the input and output frequency relationships
for three possible feedback configurations. The allowable
SYNC input range for each case is also indicated. There
are two allowable SYNC frequency ranges, depending
whether FREQ_SEL is high or low. Although not shown, it
is possible to feed back the Q5 output, thus creating a
180° phase shift between the SYNC input and the “Q”
outputs. Table 1 below summarizes the allowable SYNC
frequency range for each possible configuration.

4. A 1 MΩ resistor tied to either Analog VCC or Analog GND
as shown in Figure 2 is required to ensure no jitter is
present on the MC88915 outputs. This technique causes
a phase offset between the SYNC input and the output
connected to the FEEDBACK input, measured at the
input pins. The tPD spec describes how this offset varies
with process, temperature, and voltage. The specs were
arrived at by measuring the phase relationship for the 14

lots described in note 1 while the part was in
phase–locked operation. The actual measurements were
made with a 10 MHz SYNC input (1.0 ns edge rate from
0.8 V – 2.0 V) with the Q/2 output fed back. The phase
measurements were made at 1.5 V. The Q/2 output was
terminated at the FEEDBACK input with 100Ω to VCC and
100 Ω to ground.

5. The tSKEWr specification guarantees that the rising edges
of outputs Q/2, Q0, Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 will always fall
within a 500ps window within one part. However, if the
relative position of each output within this window is not
specified, the 500 ps window must be added to each side
of the tPD specification limits to calculate the total
part–to–part skew. For this reason the absolute
distribution of these outputs are provided in table 2. When
taking the skew data, Q0 was used as a reference, so all
measurements are relative to this output. The information
in Table 2 is derived from measurements taken from the
14 process lots described in Note 1, over the temperature
and voltage range.

6. Calculation of Total Output–to–Skew between multiple
parts (Part–to–Part skew)
– 0.32ns] = –1.37ns is the lower tPD limit, and [–0.5ns +
0.32ns] = –0.18ns is the upper limit. Therefore the worst
case skew of output Q2 between any number of parts is
|(–1.37) – (–0.18)| = 1.19ns. Q2 has the worst case skew
distribution of any output, so 1.2ns is the absolute worst
case output–to–output skew between multiple parts.
By combining the tPD specification and the information in
Note 5, the worst case output–to–output skew between
multiple 88915’s connected in parallel can be calculated.
This calculation assumes that all parts have a common
SYNC input clock with equal delay of that input signal to
each part. This skew value is valid at the 88915 output
pins only (equally loaded), it does not include PCB trace
delays due to varying loads.
7. Note 4 explains that the tPD specification was measured
and is guaranteed for the configuration of the Q/2 output
connected to the FEEDBACK pin and the SYNC input
running at 10MHz. The fixed offset (tPD) as described
above has some dependence on the input frequency and
at what frequency the VCO is running. The graphs of
Figure 3 demonstrate this dependence.
With a 1MΩ resistor tied to analog VCC as shown in note
4, the tPD spec. limits between SYNC and the Q/2 output
(connected to the FEEDBACK pin) are –1.05ns and
–0.5ns. To calculate the skew of any given output
between two or more parts, the absolute value of the
distribution of that output given in table 2 must be
subtracted and added to the lower and upper tPD spec
limits respectively. For output Q2, [276 – (–44)] = 320ps is
the absolute value of the distribution. Therefore [–1.05ns
The data presented in Figure 3 is from devices
representing process extremes, and the measurements
were also taken at the voltage extremes (VCC = 5.25V
and 4.75V). Therefore the data in Figure 3 is a realistic
representation of the variation of tPD.

Timing Notes:
• The MC88915 aligns rising edges of the FEEDBACK input and SYNC input, therefore the SYNC input does
not require a 50% duty cycle.
• All skew specs are measured between the VCC/2 crossing point of the appropriate output edges.All skews
are specified as ‘windows’, not as a ± deviation around a center point.
• If a “Q” output is connected to the FEEDBACK input (this situation is not shown), the “Q” output frequency
would match the SYNC input frequency, the 2X_Q output would run at twice the SYNC frequency, and the
Q/2 output would run at half the SYNC frequency.

A SEPARATE ANALOG POWER SUPPLY IS NOT NECESSARY AND
SHOULD NOT BE USED. FOLLOWING THESE PRESCRIBED GUIDELINES
IS ALL THAT IS NECESSARY TO USE THE MC88915 IN A NORMAL DIGITAL
ENVIRONMENT.
Figure 6. Recommended Loop Filter and Analog Isolation Scheme for the MC88915
Notes Concerning Loop Filter and Board Layout Issues
1. Figure 6 shows a loop filter and analog isolation scheme
which will be effective in most applications. The following
guidelines should be followed to ensure stable and
jitter–free operation:
is to give the 88915 additional protection from the power
supply and ground plane transients that can occur in a
high frequency, high speed digital system.
1c.There are no special requirements set forth for the loop
filter resistors (470K and 330Ω). The loop filter capacitor
(0.1µF) can be a ceramic chip capacitior, the same as a
standard bypass capacitor.
1a.All loop filter and analog isolation components should be
tied as close to the package as possible. Stray current
passing through the parasitics of long traces can cause
undesirable voltage transients at the RC1 pin.
1d.The 470K reference resistor injects current into the
internal charge pump of the PLL, causing a fixed offset
between the outputs and the SYNC input. This also
prevents excessive jitter caused by inherent PLL
dead–band. If the VCO (2X_Q output) is running above
40MHz, the 470K resistor provides the correct amount of
current injection into the charge pump (2–3µA). If the
VCO is running below 40MHz, a 1MΩ reference resistor
should be used (instead of 470K).
1b.The 47Ω resistors, the 10µF low frequency bypass
capacitor, and the 0.1µF high frequency bypass capacitor
form a wide bandwidth filter that will minimize the 88915’s
sensitivity to voltage transients from the system digital
VCC supply and ground planes. This filter will typically
ensure that a 100mV step deviation on the digital VCC
supply will cause no more than a 100pS phase deviation
on the 88915 outputs. A 250mV step deviation on VCC
using the recommended filter values should cause no
more than a 250pS phase deviation; if a 25µF bypass
capacitor is used (instead of 10µF) a 250mV VCC step
should cause no more than a 100pS phase deviation.
2. In addition to the bypass capacitors used in the analog
filter of Figure 6, there should be a 0.1µF bypass
capacitor between each of the other (digital) four VCC pins
and the board ground plane. This will reduce output
switching noise caused by the 88915 outputs, in addition
to reducing potential for noise in the ‘analog’ section of the
chip. These bypass capacitors should also be tied as
close to the 88915 package as possible.
If good bypass techniques are used on a board design
near components which may cause digital VCC and
ground noise, the above described VCC step deviations
should not occur at the 88915’s digital VCC supply. The
purpose of the bypass filtering scheme shown in Figure 6

for Frequency Multiplication and Low Board–to–Board Skew
MC88915 System Level Testing Functionality
When the PLL_EN pin is low, the VCO is disabled and the 88915 is in low frequency “test mode”. In test mode (with FREQ_SEL
high), the 2X_Q output is inverted from the selected SYNC input, and the “Q” outputs are divide–by–2 (negative edge triggered)
of the SYNC input, and the Q/2 output is divide–by–4. With FREQ_SEL low the 2X_Q output is divide–by–2 of the SYNC, the “Q”
outputs divide–by–4, and the Q/2 output divide–by–8. These relationships can be seen on the block diagram. A recommended
test configuration would be to use SYNC0 as the test clock input, and tie PLL_EN and REF_SEL together and connect them to
the test select logic. When these inputs are low, the 88915 is in test mode and the SYNC0 input is selected.
This functionality is needed since most board–level testers run at 1 MHz or below, and the 88915 cannot lock onto that low of an
input frequency. In the test mode described above, any frequency test signal can be used.
