The MPC9446 is a full static fanout buffer design supporting clock frequencies up to
250 MHz. The signals are generated and retimed on-chip to ensure minimal skew between the three output banks. Two independent LVCMOS compatible clock inputs are available. This feature supports redundant clock
sources or the addition of a test clock into the system design. Each of the three output banks can be individually supplied by 2.5 V or 3.3
V supporting mixed voltage applications. The FSELx pins choose between division of the input reference frequency by one or two. The
frequency divider can be set individually for each of the three output banks. The MPC9446 can be rese,t and the outputs are disabled by
deasserting the MR/OE pin (logic high state). Asserting MR/OE will enable the outputs.
All inputs accept LVCMOS signals while the outputs provide LVCMOS compatible levels with the capability to drive terminated 50 Ω
transmission lines. Please consult the MPC9456 specification for a 1:10 mixed voltage buffer with LVPECL compatible inputs. For series
terminated transmission lines, each of the MPC9446 outputs can drive one or two traces giving the devices an effective fanout of 1:20.
The device is packaged in a 7x7 mm2 32-lead LQFP package.

towards the quiescent 3.0 V in steps separated by one round

Driving Transmission Lines
The MPC9446 clock driver was designed to drive highspeed signals in a terminated transmission line environment.
To provide the optimum flexibility to the user, the output
drivers were designed to exhibit the lowest impedance
possible. With an output impedance of less than 20 Ω, the
drivers can drive either parallel or series terminated
transmission lines. For more information on transmission
lines the reader is referred to Freescale application note
AN1091. In most high performance clock networks,
point-to-point distribution of signals is the method of choice.
In a point-to-point scheme, either series terminated or parallel
terminated transmission lines can be used. The parallel
technique terminates the signal at the end of the line with a
50 Ω resistance to VCC÷2.
This technique draws a fairly high level of DC current, and
thus, only a single terminated line can be driven by each
output of the MPC9446 clock driver. For the series terminated
case, however, there is no DC current draw; thus, the outputs
can drive multiple series terminated lines. Figure 3 illustrates
an output driving a single series terminated line versus two
series terminated lines in parallel. When taken to its extreme,
the fanout of the MPC9446 clock driver is effectively doubled
due to its capability to drive multiple lines.

Figure 3. Single versus Dual Transmission Lines
The waveform plots in Figure 4 show the simulation
results of an output driving a single line versus two lines. In
both cases, the drive capability of the MPC9446 output buffer
is more than sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines on the
incident edge. Note from the delay measurements in the
simulations, a delta of only 43 ps exists between the two
differently loaded outputs. This suggests that the dual line
driving need not be used exclusively to maintain the tight
output-to-output skew of the MPC9446. The output waveform
in Figure 4 shows a step in the waveform. This step is caused
by the impedance mismatch seen looking into the driver. The
parallel combination of the 36 Ω series resistor plus the
output impedance does not match the parallel combination of
IDT™ / ICS™ LVCMOS CLOCK FANOUT BUFFER
Since this step is well above the threshold region, it will not
cause any false clock triggering; however, designers may be
uncomfortable with unwanted reflections on the line. To better
match the impedances when driving multiple lines, the
situation in Figure 5 should be used. In this case, the series
terminating resistors are reduced such that when the parallel
combination is added to the output buffer impedance, the line
impedance is perfectly matched.
