The delay section consists of a chain of gates and a linear ramp delay adjustment organized as shown in the logic diagram. The first two delay elements feature gates that have been modified to have delays 1.25 and 1.5 times the basic gate delay of approximately 80ps. These two elements provide the E196 with a digitally-selectable resolution of approximately 20ps. The required device delay is selected by the seven address inputs D[0:6], which are latched on-chip by a high signal on the latch enable (LEN) control. If the LEN signal is either LOW or left floating, then the latch is transparent. The FTUNE input takes an analog coltage and applies it to an internal linear ramp for reducing the 20s resolution still further. The FTUNE input is what differentiates the E196 from the E195. An eighth latched input, D7, is provided for cascading multiple PDCs for increased programmable range. The cascade logic allows full control of multiple PDCs, at the expense of only a single added line to the data bus for each additional PDC, without the need for any external gating.

Duty cycle skew guaranteed only for differential operation measured from the cross point of the input to the cross point of the output. 2. This set-up time defines the amount of time prior to the input signal the delay tap of the device must be set. 3. This set-up time is the minimum time that EN must be asserted prior to the next transition of IN/IN to prevent an output response greater than ±75mV to that IN/IN transition. 4. This hold time is the minimum time that EN must remain asserted after a negative going IN or positive going IN to prevent an output response greater than ±75mV to that IN/IN transition. 5. This release time is the minimum time that EN must be deasserted prior to the next IN/IN transition to ensure an output response that meets the specified IN to Q propagation delay and transition times. 6. Specification limits represent the amount of delay added with the assertion of each individual delay control pin. The various combinations of asserted delay control inputs will typically realize D0 resolution steps across the specified programmable range. 7. The linearity specification guarantees to which delay control input the programmable steps will be monotonic (i.e. increasing delay steps for increasing binary counts on the control inputs Dn). Typically, the device will be monotonic to the D0 input, however, under worst case conditions and process variation, delays could decrease slightly with increasing binary counts when the D0 input is the LSB. With the D1 input as the LSB, the device is guaranteed to be monotonic over all specified environmental conditions and process variation. 8. The jitter of the device is less than what can be measured without resorting to very tedious and specialized measurement techniques. 4 ClockWorks™ SY10E196 SY100E196 Micrel APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Analog Input Charateristics: Ftune = VCC to VEE 140 100 80 60 40 20 0 –4.5 –3.5 –2.5 –1.5 –0.5 Ftune Voltage (V) Propagation Delay vs Ftune Voltage (100E196) 100 90 80 Propagation Delay (ps) Propagation Delay (ps) 120 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 Ftune Voltage (V) Propagation Delay vs Ftune Voltage (10E196) 5 –0 ClockWorks™ SY10E196 SY100E196 Micrel Bit 0 D1 Q1 Reset Bit 1 LEN Q0 LEN Reset D0 Reset Reset D2 LEN Set Bit 2 Q2 Reset D3 Set LEN Set LEN D4 To Select Multiplexers Bit 3 Q3 Reset Bit 4 Q4 Reset D5 Set LEN Bit 5 Q5 Reset D6 Set LEN Bit 6 Q6 Reset D7 LEN Bit 7 Q7 CASCADE CASCADE 6 SET MIN SET MAX Figure 2. Expansion of the Latch Section of the E196 Block Diagram ClockWorks™ SY10E196 SY100E196 Micrel Using the FTUNE Analog Input The analog FTUNE pin on the E196 device is intended to enhance the 20ps resolution capabilities of the fully digital E195. The level of resolution obtained is dependent on the number of increments applied to the appropriate range on the FTUNE pin. To provide another level of resolution, the FTUNE pin must be capable of adjusting the delay by greater than the 20ps digital resolution. As shown in the provided graphs, this requirement is easily achieved since a 100ps delay can be achieved over the entire FTUNE voltage range.This extra analog range ensures that the FTUNE pin will be capable, even under worst case conditions, of covering the digital resolution. Typically, the analog input will be driven by an external DAC to provide a digital control with very fine analog output steps. The final resolution of the device will be dependent on the width of the DAC chosen. To determine the voltage range necessary for the FTUNE input, the graphs provided should be used. As an example, if a range of 40ps is selected to cover worst case conditions and ensure coverage of the digital range, from the 100E196 graph a voltage range of –3.25V to –4V would be necessary on the FTUNE pin. Obviously, there are numerous voltage ranges which can be used to cover a given delay range. Users are given the flexibility to determine which one best fits their design.

Cascading Interconnect Architecture Cascading Multiple E196s To increase the programmable range of the E196, internal cascade circuitry has been included. This circuitry allows for the cascading of multiple E196s without the need for any external gating. Furthermore, this capability requires only one more address line per added E196. Obviously, cascading multiple PDCs will result in a larger programmable range; however, this increase is at the expense of a longer minimum delay. Figure 1 illustrates the interconnect scheme for cascading two E196s. As can be seen, this scheme can easily be expanded for larger E196 chains. The D7 input of the E196 is the cascade control pin. With the interconnect scheme of Figure 1, when D7 is asserted, it signals the need for a larger programmable range than is achievable with a single device. An expansion of the latch section of the block diagram is pictured below. Use of this diagram will simplify the explanation of how the cascade circuitry works. When D7 of chip #1 above is low, the cascade output will also be low, while the cascade bar output will be a logical high. In this condition, the SET MIN pin of chip #2 will be asserted and, thus, all of the latches of chip #2 will be reset and the device will be set at its minimum delay. Since the RESET and SET inputs of the latches are overriding, any changes on the A0–A6 address bus will not affect the operation of chip #2. Chip #1, on the other hand, will have both SET MIN and SET MAX de-asserted so that its delay will be controlled entirely by the address bus A0–A6. If the delay needed is greater than can be achieved with 31.75 gate 7 ClockWorks™ SY10E196 SY100E196 Micrel delays (1111111 on the A0–A6 address bus), D7 will be asserted to signal the need to cascade the delay to the next E196 device. When D7 is asserted, the SET MIN pin of chip #2 will be de-asserted and the delay will be controlled by the A0–A6 address bus. Chip #1, on the other hand, will have its SET MAX pin asserted, resulting in the device delay to be independent of the A 0–A 6 address bus. When the SET MAX pin of chip #1 is asserted, the D0 and D1 latches will be reset, while the rest of the latches will be set. In addition, to maintain monotonicity, an additional gate delay is selected in the cascade circuitry. As a result, when D7 of chip #1 is asserted, the delay increases from 31.75 gates to 32 gates. A 32-gate delay is the maximum delay setting for the E196. When cascading multiple PDCs, it will prove more costeffective to use a single E196 for the MSB of the chain, while using E195 for the lower order bits. This is due to the fact that only one fine tune input is needed to further reduce the delay step resolution.
