The CY7B991 and CY7B992 Programmable Skew Clock Buffers
(PSCB) offer user selectable control over system clock functions.
These multiple output clock drivers provide the system integrator
with functions necessary to optimize the timing of high performance computer systems. Each of the eight individual drivers,
arranged in four pairs of user controllable outputs, can drive
terminated transmission lines with impedances as low as 50Ω.
They can deliver minimal and specified output skews and full
swing logic levels (CY7B991 TTL or CY7B992 CMOS).

Logic Block Diagram
Each output is hardwired to one of the nine delay or function
configurations. Delay increments of 0.7 to 1.5 ns are determined
by the operating frequency with outputs that skew up to ±6 time
units from their nominal “zero” skew position. The completely
integrated PLL allows cancellation of external load and transmission line delay effects. When this “zero delay” capability of the
PSCB is combined with the selectable output skew functions,
you 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
enable distribution of a low frequency clock that are multiplied by
two or four at the clock destination. This facility minimizes clock
distribution difficulty, allowing maximum system clock speed and
flexibility.

Block Diagram Description
Phase Frequency Detector and Filter
Skew Select Matrix
The Phase Frequency Detector and Filter 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.
The skew select matrix contains 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 3 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
The VCO accepts analog control inputs from the PLL filter block.
It generates a frequency 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 2.

Notes
1. For all tristate 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 is 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 3). The frequency appearing at the REF and FB
inputs are fNOM when the output connected to FB is undivided. The frequency of the REF and FB inputs are 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.

Test Mode
The TEST input is a three level input. In normal system
operation, this pin is connected to ground, enabling the
CY7B991 or CY7B992 to operate as explained in “Skew Select
Matrix” on page 4. For testing purposes, any of the three level
inputs can have a removable jumper to ground, or be tied LOW
through a 100Ω resistor. This enables an external tester to
change the state of these pins.
If the TEST input is forced to its MID or HIGH state, the device
operates with its internal phase locked loop disconnected, and
input levels supplied to REF directly controls all outputs. Relative
output to output functions are the same as in normal mode.
In contrast with normal operation (TEST tied LOW), all outputs
function based only on the connection of their own function
selects inputs (xF0 and xF1) and the waveform characteristics of
the REF input.
Note
4. FB connected to an output selected for “zero” skew (i.e., xF1 = xF0 = MID).

Notes
5. 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.
6. CY7B991 must be tested one output at a time, output shorted for less than one second, less than 10% duty cycle. Room temperature only. CY7B992 outputs must
not be shorted to GND. Doing so may cause permanent damage.
7. Total output current per output pair is 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.
8. 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 7 for variable definition.
9. Applies to REF and FB inputs only. Tested initially and after any design or process changes that may affect these parameters.

Notes
10. CMOS output buffer current and power dissipation specified at 50 MHz reference frequency.
11. Test measurement levels for the CY7B991 are TTL levels (1.5 V to 1.5 V). 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.
12. Guaranteed by statistical correlation. Tested initially and after any design or process changes that affect these parameters.
13. Except as noted, all CY7B992–2 and –5 timing parameters are specified to 80 MHz with a 30 pF load.
14. SKEW is defined as the time between the earliest and the latest output transition among all outputs for which the same tU delay is selected when all are loaded
with 50 pF and terminated with 50Ω to 2.06V (CY7B991) or VCC/2 (CY7B992).
15. tSKEWPR is defined as the skew between a pair of outputs (XQ0 and XQ1) when all eight outputs are selected for 0tU.
16. tSKEW0 is defined as the skew between outputs when they are selected for 0tU. Other outputs are divided or inverted but not shifted.
17. CL=0 pF. For CL=30 pF, tSKEW0=0.35 ns.
18. 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).
19. tDEV is the output-to-output skew between any two devices operating under the same conditions (VCC ambient temperature, air flow, and so on.)
20. tODCV is the deviation of the output from a 50% duty cycle. Output pulse width variations are included in tSKEW2 and tSKEW4 specifications.
21. 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 50Ω to
2.06V (CY7B991) or VCC/2 (CY7B992).
22. tPWH is measured at 2.0 V 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.
23. tORISE and tOFALL measured between 0.8V and 2.0V for the CY7B991 or 0.8 VCC and 0.2 VCC for the CY7B992.
24. 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.

Figure 4 shows the PSCB configured as a zero skew clock buffer. In this mode the 7B991/992 is 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 each drives a
terminated transmission line to an independent load. The FB input is 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), enables efficient printed circuit board design.

Figure 5 shows a configuration to equalize skew between metal
traces of different lengths. In addition to low skew between
outputs, the PSCB is programmed to stagger the timing of its
outputs. Each of the four groups of output pairs are programmed
to different output timing. Skew timing is 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.
In this illustration the FB input is connected to an output with
0 ns skew (xF1, xF0 = MID) selected. The internal PLL synchroPage 13 of 21

CY7B991
CY7B992
nizes the FB and REF inputs and aligns their rising edges to
ensure that all outputs have precise phase alignment.
Clock skews are 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, you can create wider output skews by proper selection of the
xFn inputs. For example, a +10 tU between REF and 3Qx is
achieved by connecting 1Q0 to FB and setting 1F0 = 1F1 = GND,
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 are realized by skewing both the outputs used as
the FB input and skewing the other outputs.

Figure 6 shows an example of the invert function of the PSCB.
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.
It is possible to have 2 inverted and 6 non-inverted outputs or 6
inverted and 2 non-inverted outputs by selecting the output
connected to FB. The correct configuration is 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.

Figure 7 shows the PSCB configured as a clock multiplier. The
3Q0 output is programmed to divide by four and is sent 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, that results in a 40 MHz waveform
at these outputs. Note that the 20 and 40 MHz clocks fall simultaneously and are out of phase on their rising edge. This enables
the designer to use the rising edges of the 1⁄2 frequency and 1⁄4
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.

range since the highest frequency output is running at 20 MHz.
Figure 9 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 enables the system designer to clock different
subsystems on opposite edges, without suffering from the pulse
asymmetry typical of non-ideal loading. This function enables
each of the two subsystems to clock 180 degrees out of phase
and align within the skew specifications.
The divided outputs offer a zero delay divider for portions of the
system that need the clock divided by either two or four, and still
remain within a narrow skew of the “1X” clock. Without this
feature, an external divider is added, and the propagation delay
of the divider adds to the skew between the different clock
signals.
These divided outputs, coupled with the Phase Locked Loop,
enables the PSCB to multiply the clock rate at the REF input by
either two or four. This mode enables 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, still maintaining the low skew characteristics of the
clock driver. The PSCB performs all of the functions described in
this section at the same time. It multiplies by two and four or
divides by two (and four) at the same time. In other words, it is
shifting its outputs over a wide range or maintaining zero skew
between selected outputs.

Figure 10 shows the CY7B991 and 992 connected in series to construct a zero skew clock distribution tree between boards. Delays
of the downstream clock buffers are programmed to compensate for the wire length (that is, select negative skew equal to the wire
delay) necessary to connect them to the master clock source, approximating a zero delay clock tree. Cascaded clock buffers accumulates low frequency jitter because of the non-ideal filtering characteristics of the PLL filter. Do not connect more than two clock buffers
in series.
