Description
Agere Systems’ LCK4973 is a 3.3 V/2.5 V,
PLL-based clock driver for high-performance RISC or
CISC processor-based systems. The LCK4973 has
output frequencies of up to 240 MHz and skews of
less than 250 ps, making it ideal for synchronous
systems. The LCK4973 contains 12 low-skew
outputs and a feedback/sync output for flexibility and
simple implementation.
There is a robust level of frequency programmability
between the 12 low-skew outputs in addition to the
input/output relationships. This allows for very
flexible programming of the input reference versus
the output frequency. The LCK4973 contains a
flexible output enable and disable scheme. This
helps execute system debug as well as offer multiple
powerdown schemes, which meet green-class
machine requirements.
The LCK4973 features a power-on reset function,
which automatically resets the device on powerup,
providing automatic synchronization between QFB
and other outputs.
The LCK4973 is 3.3 V/2.5 V compatible and requires
no external loop filters. It has the capability of driving
50 Ω transmission lines. Series terminated lines have
the ability of driving two 50 Ω lines in parallel,
effectively doubling the fanout.

This can be achieved by pushing low the control signal
one clock edge before the coincident edges of outputs
Qa and Qc. The synchronization output indicates when
these rising edges will occur. Selectability of feedback
frequency is independent on the output frequencies.
Output frequencies can be odd or even multiples of the
input reference clock, as well as being less than the
input frequency.
The power-on reset function is designed to reset the
system after powerup for synchronization between
QFB and other outputs. This solves the problem of
resetting if fselFB2 is held high on powerup. All other
conditions of the fsel pins automatically synchronize
during PLL clock acquisition. All outputs are initialized
active on power on.

The LCK4973 independently enables each output
through a serial input port. When disabled (frozen), the
outputs will lock in the low state, but internal state
machines are unaffected. When re-enabled, the
outputs initialize in phase and synchronous with those
not reactivating. This freezing only happens when the
outputs are in the low state, preventing runt pulse
generation.

frequency is half of the lowest frequency output. This

Device Programming
The LCK4973 contains three independent banks of
four outputs as well as an independent PLL feedback
output. The possible configurations make Agere

50 MHz source. Figure 4 and Figure 5 also show
possible configurations of the LCK4973.

To determine the relationship between the three banks,
one would compare their divide ratios. For example, if
one desired a ratio of 5:3:2, set Qa to ÷10, Qb to ÷6,
and Qc to ÷4. These selections would yield a 5:3:2
ratio.
For low frequency circumstances, the VCO_Sel pin
allows the option of an additional ÷2 to be added to the
clock path. This pin maintains the output relationships,
but provides an extended clock range for the PLL. The
feedback output is matched to the input reference
frequency after the output frequency relationship is set
and VCO is in a stable range.

It is most likely that the LCK4973 will be used as a
zero-delay buffer in a nested clock-tree application. In
these instances, the LCK4973 offers a LVPECL clock
input as the PLL reference. This allows the user to
utilize the exceptional skew performance of the device
as the primary clock distribution device. The device can
then lock onto the LVPECL reference and translate,
with near-zero delay, to low-skew LVCMOS outputs.
These clock trees will show tighter skews than CMOS
fanout buffer clock trees.

The Lnv_Clk input pin, when asserted, will invert the
Qc2 and Qc3 outputs.This inversion does not affect the
output-output skew of the device and allows for the
development of 180° phase-shifted clocks. This output
can also be used as a feedback output or routed to a
second PLL to generate early/late clocks. Figure 5 on
page 8 shows a 180° phase-shift configuration.
SYNC Output
When the output frequencies are not integer multiples
of each other, there is a need for a signal for
synchronization purposes. The SYNC output is
designed to address this need. The Qa and Qc banks
of outputs are monitored by the device, and a lowgoing pulse (one period in duration, on period before
the coincident rising edges of Qa and Qc) is provided.
The duration and placement of the pulse is dependent
on the highest of Qa and Qc output frequencies. The
timing diagram, (Figure 8 on page 10) show the various
waveforms for SYNC.
Note: SYNC is defined for all possible combinations of
Qa and Qc, even though the lower frequency
clock should be used as a synchronizing signal
in most cases.
Zero-Delay Buffer Use
The LCK4973 can be used as a zero-delay buffer due
to the external feedback of the device. Using one of the
inputs as a feedback to the PLL eliminates the
propagation delay through the device. A near-zero
delay is produced by the PLL aligning to the output
edge to the input reference edge. The static phase
offset and the relative delay between the inputs and
outputs are affected by the reference frequency. This is
because the static phase offset is a function of the
reference clock and Tpd of the LCK4973 is a function
of the configuration used.

Functional Description (continued)
Power Supply Filtering
The LCK4973 is a mixed-signal product which is
susceptible to random noise, especially when this
noise is on the power supply pins. To isolate the output
buffer switching from the internal phase-locked loop,
the LCK4973 provides separate power supplies for the
internal PLL (VDDA) and for the output buffers (VDDO).
In a digital system environment, besides this isolation
technique, it is highly recommended that both VDDA
and VDD power supplies be filtered to reduce the
random noise as much as possible.
Figure 9 illustrates a typical power supply filter
scheme. Due to its susceptibility to noise with spectral
content in this range, a filter for the LCK4973 should be
designed to target noise in the 100 kHz to 10 MHz
range. The RC filter in Figure 9 will provide a broadband filter with approximately 100:1 attenuation for
noise with spectral content above 20 kHz. More elaborate power supply schemes may be used to achieve
increased power supply noise filtering.
used in a point-to-point scheme. The parallel
configuration terminates the signal at the end of the
line with a 50 Ω resistance to VDD/2. Only one
terminated line can be driven by each output of the
LCK4973 due to the high level of dc current drawn.
In a series-terminated case, there is no dc current
draw, and the outputs can drive multiple series-terminated lines. Figure 10 shows these scenarios.

The waveform plots of Figure 11 show the simulated
results of a single output versus a two-line output. A
43 ps delta exists between the two differently loaded
outputs that can be seen in Figure 11. This implies that
dual-line driving need not be used in order to maintain
tight output-to-output skew. The step in Figure 11
shows an impedance mismatch caused when looking
into the driver. The parallel combination in Figure 10
plus the output resistance does not equal the parallel
combination of the line impedances. The voltage wave
down the lines will equal the following:
VL = VS (Z0/RS + R0 + Z0) = 3.0 (25/53.5) = 1.4 V
The voltage will double at the load-end to 2.8 V, due to
the near-unity reflection coefficient. It then continues to
increment towards 3.0 V in one-round trip delay steps
(4 ps). This step will not cause any false clock
triggering, but some may not want these reflections on
the line. Figure 12 shows a possible configuration in
order to eliminate these reflections. In this scenario, the
series terminating resistors are reduced so the line
impedance is matched when the parallel combination is
added to the output buffer.

Functional Description (continued)
The freeze mechanism allows serial loading of the
12-bit serial input register. this register contains one
programmable freeze enable bit for 12 of the 14 output
clocks. The Qc0 and QFB outputs cannot be frozen
with the serial port, which prevents possible lock-up
situations if there is an error in the serial input register.
The user can also program a freeze by writing 0 to the
respective freeze bit. Likewise, it can be
programmability unfrozen by writing a 1 to that same
bit.

Freeze logic cannot force a recently frozen clock to a
logic 0 state before the time which it would normally
transition to that state. The logic will only maintain the
frozen clock in logic 0. Similarly, the logic will not force
a recently frozen clock to logic 1 before the time it
would normally transition there. when the clock would
normally be in a logic 0 state, the logic re-enables the
unfrozen clock, eliminating the possibility of runt clock
pulses.

The user may write to the serial input register by
supplying a logic 0 start bit followed (serially) by
12 NRZ freeze bits through Frz_Data. The period of the
Frz_Clk signal equals the period of each Frz_Data bit.
The timing should be such that the LCK4973 is able to
sample each Frz_Data bit with the rising edge of the
Frz_Clk (free-running) signal.

The new green classification for computers requires
unique power management. The LCK4973’s individual
output enable control allows software to implement
unique power management. A serial interface was
created to eliminate individual output control at the cost
of one pin per output.
The freeze control logic provides a mechanism for the
LCK4973’s clock inputs to be stopped in the logic 0
state.
