CY7B9911V 3.3V RoboClock+ High-Speed Low-Voltage Programmable Skew Clock Buffer (LV-PSCB) Features selectable control over system clock functions. These multipleoutput 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 50Ω while delivering minimal and specified output skews and full-swing logic levels (LVTTL). • All output pair skew <100 ps typical (250 max.) • 3.75- to 110-MHz output operation • User-selectable output functions — Selectable skew to 18 ns — Inverted and non-inverted • • • • • • • — Operation at 1⁄2 and 1⁄4 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 LVTTL outputs drive 50Ω terminated lines Operates from a single 3.3V supply Low operating current 32-pin PLCC package Jitter < 200 ps peak-to-peak (< 25 ps RMS) 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 LVPSCB is combined with the selectable output skew functions, the user can create output-to-output delays of up to ±12 time units. 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 Skew Select Matrix 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 VoltageControlled Oscillator (VCO). These blocks, along with the VCO, form a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) that tracks the incoming REF signal. The skew select matrix is comprised of four independent sections. Each section has two low-skew, high-fanout drivers (xQ0, xQ1), and two corresponding three-level function select (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. VCO and Time Unit Generator Table 2. Programmable Skew Configurations[1] Phase Frequency Detector and Filter 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 f NOM 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 2.8V. 2 U 0 t +6t U 0 t +5t U 0 t +4t U 0 t +3t U 0 t +2t 0 t +1t t 0 U U 0 t – 1t U 0 t – 2t U 0 t – 3t U 0 t – 4t U 0 t – 5t 0 t – 6t U CY7B9911V 3.3V RoboClock+ FBInput REFInput 1Fx 2Fx 3Fx 4Fx (N/A) LM – 6tU LL LH – 4tU LM (N/A) – 3tU LH ML – 2tU ML (N/A) – 1tU MM MM MH (N/A) +1tU HL MH +2tU HM (N/A) +3tU HH HL +4tU 0tU (N/A) HM (N/A) LL/HH DIVIDED (N/A) HH INVERT +6tU 7B9911V–3 Figure 1.

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 data sheet limits are achieved. 7.

The low-skew specification, coupled with the ability to drive terminated transmission lines (with impedances as low as 50Ω), allows efficient printed circuit board design. Figure 2 shows the LVPSCB configured as a zero-skew clock buffer. In this mode the CY7B9911V can be used as the basis for a low-skew clock distribution tree.

Programmable-Skew Clock Driver In this illustration the FB input is connected to an output with 0-ns skew (xF1, xF0 = MID) selected. The internal PLL synchronizes the FB and REF inputs and aligns their rising edges to insure that all outputs have precise phase alignment. Figure 3 shows a configuration to equalize skew between metal traces of different lengths. In addition to low skew between outputs, the LVPSCB 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. 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, 3F0 = MID, and 3F1 = High. (Since FB aligns at –4 tU and 3Qx 8 CY7B9911V 3.3V RoboClock+ simultaneously and are out of phase on their rising edge. This will allow the designer to use the rising edges of the 1⁄2 frequency and 1⁄4 frequency outputs without concern for risingedge 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. 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.

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 1⁄4 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. 40 MHz 4Q0 4Q1 3Q0 3Q1 2Q0 2Q1 1Q0 1Q1 4Q0 4Q1 Figure 6.

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. 20 MHz FB REF FS 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. 20 MHz 80 MHz These divided outputs, coupled with the Phase Locked Loop, allow the LVPSCB 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 LVPSCB 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. 7B9911V–12 Figure 5. Frequency Multiplier with Skew Connections Figure 5 illustrates the LVPSCB 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 waveform at these outputs.

It is recommended that not more than two clock buffers be connected in series. Figure 8 shows the CY7B9911V connected in series to construct a zero-skew clock distribution tree between boards. Delays of the downstream clock buffers can be programmed to compensate for the wire length (i.e., select negative skew equal to the wire delay) necessary to connect them to the mas- 10 CY7B9911V 3.3V RoboClock+ Ordering Information Accuracy (ps) Ordering Code Package Name Package Type Operating Range 500 CY7B9911V–5JC J65 32-Lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier Commercial 700 CY7B9911V–7JC J65 32-Lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier Commercial Document #: 38-00765-B Package Diagram 32-Lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier J65 51-85002-B © Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, 1999.
