The device is optimized to adjust the relative delay between two channels, such as clock and data, in 50ps increments. Both inputs may be adjusted in either direction in 7 increments of 50ps, for a total adjustment range of ±350ps. In addition, the clock input maybe inverted through the CINV control pin. The SY55856U inputs are designed to accept singleended or differential CML signals. The differential CML outputs are optimized for 50Ω loads (50Ω source terminated), thus only requires a single 100Ω resistor across the output pair. Output rise and fall time is an extremely fast 110ps(max) and the differential swing is 400mV. The maximum throughput of the SY55856U is guaranteed to exceed 2.5GHz (5Gbps).

This is the clock inversion select signal. This input optionally inverts the CLK_IN, /CLK_IN signal which results in an inverted CLK_OUT, /CLK_OUT. A voltage below the VT threshold results in no inversion. A voltage above the threshold value results in an inversion from the clock input to the clock output. Refer to the “VT input” section below. 14 LVL Analog Input. This input determines what level differentiates logic high from logic low. This input affects the behavior of the CINV, S0, S1 and S2 inputs. Please refer to the “VT input“ section below for more details. For the control interface, see Figure 3a. For TTL control interface, see Figure 3b. 30 DELAY_SEL VT Input (Single Ended). CML compatible control logic. This is the delay path control input. Logic high delays the clock signal with respect to the data signal. A logic low delays the data signal with respect to the clock signal. Inputs S2, S1 and S0 control amount of delay. 27, 28, 29 S0, S1, S2 VT Input (Single Ended). CML compatible control logic. This is the delay selection control input.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Establishing Static Logic Inputs The true pin of a CML input pair is internally biased to ground through a 75kΩ resistor. The complement pin of a CML input pair is internally biased halfway between VCC and ground by a voltage divider consisting of two 75kΩ resistors. To keep a CML input at static logic zero at VCC > 3.0V, leave both inputs unconnected. For VCC ≤ 3.0V, connect the complement input to VCC and leave the true input unconnected. To make an input static logic one, connect the true input to VCC, and leave the complement input unconnected. These are the only safe ways to cause CML inputs to be at a static value. In particular, no CML input should be directly connected to ground. All NC pins in the figures below should be left unconnected. VT (Variable Threshold) Inputs Five inputs to SY55856U, CINV, DELAY_SEL, S0, S1, and S2, are variable threshold inputs. The LVL input determines VCC IN NC /IN the Voltage threshold that differentiates logic high from logic low for these five inputs only. If LVL is left unconnected, the VT inputs will switch at about VCC + GND or V TCL, 2 whichever is higher. To obtain a logic switching threshold different from this, the LVL input must be driven with the actual desired threshold voltage. The user may drive the LVL pin with any voltage between VCC – 0.1V and ground. For example, driving LVL with a voltage set at Vcc – 1.3V causes the VT inputs to accept single ended PECL outputs and switch appropriately. Note that VT inputs are internally clamped so that the threshold will not fall below VTCL Volts. Since driving the LVL input to ground causes the threshold to be somewhere between VTCL (min) and VTCL (max), it is expected that the user will keep the Voltage at the LVL pin at or above VTCL (max). Please refer to Figure 3 for clarification. NC IN NC /IN VCC > 3.0V Figure 1. Hard Wiring a Logic "1"(1) NC IN VCC /IN Logic Switching Threshold VCC ≤ 3.0V VCC Figure 2.

CML TERMINATION SY55856U inputs are designed to accept a termination resistor between the true and complement inputs of a CML differential input pair, as shown in Figure 4. All CML inputs accept a CML output from any other member of this family. All CML outputs are source terminated 50Ω differential drivers as shown in Figure 4.

Nominal Differential Delay Values Note: 1. Table 2 defines the approximate relative delay between the two paths. For example, if S2, S1, S0 = 000, and an edge appears at CLK_IN at the same instant as an edge appears at DATA_IN, then an edge at CLK_OUT will appear about 350ps earlier than an edge at DATA_OUT. That is, negative values imply CLK_OUT being shifted early with respect to DATA_OUT. Likewise, a positive value in the third column implies that CLK_OUT is shifted late with respect to DATA_OUT.

DC parameters are guaranteed after thermal equilibrium has been established. Note 2. The LVL input determines the voltage switching threshold that differentiates logic high from logic low for the VT inputs S0, S1, S2, DELAY_SEL, and CINV. LVL may be driven to VCC, but this is not useful, as the VT inputs could then not get high enough to reliably indicate logic high. Also, as shown in Figure 3, the LVL input internally clamps at VTCL. If LVL is left unconnected, the VT inputs will switch at about the maximum of VCC + GND VCC and VTCL. = 2 2 Note 3. VT inputs are S0, S1, S2, DELAY_SEL, and CINV. Note 4. VSW is the threshold switching voltage. It is equal to the voltage at the LVL pin, when this voltage is above VTCL (max). VSW is some value between VTCL (min) and VTCL (max) when the Voltage at the LVL pin is below VTCL (max). Note 5. VIST is the voltage difference needed to guarantee a stable logic level. Logic high must be at least VIST above VSW. Logic low must be at most VIST below VSW. Thus, the minimum input swing on a given VT input pin, that is, |VIHVT - VILVT|, must be at least 2×VIST.
