Pin Description Overview The W232 is a PLL-based clock driver designed for use in systems requiring a large number of synchronous timing signals. The clock driver has output frequencies of up to 140 MHz and output-to-output skews of less than 100 ps. The W232 provides minimum cycle-to-cycle and long-term jitter, which is of significant importance to meet the tight input-to-input skew budget in DIMM applications. Document #: 38-07167 Rev. *B The W232 was specifically designed to accept SSFTG signals currently being used in motherboard designs to reduce EMI. Zero delay buffers which are not designed to pass this feature through may cause skewing failures. Output enable pins allow for shutdown of output when they are not being used. This reduces EMI and power consumption.

Schematic Spread Aware™ Many systems being designed now utilize a technology called Spread Spectrum Frequency Timing Generation. Cypress has been one of the pioneers of SSFTG development, and we designed this product so as not to filter off the Spread Spectrum feature of the Reference input, assuming it exists. When a zero delay buffer is not designed to pass the SS feature through, the result is a significant amount of tracking skew which may cause problems in systems requiring synchronization. For more details on Spread Spectrum timing technology, please see the Cypress application note titled, “EMI Suppression Techniques with Spread Spectrum Frequency Timing Generator (SSFTG) ICs.” How to Implement Zero Delay Typically, Zero Delay Buffers (ZDBs) are used because a designer wants to provide multiple copies of a clock signal in phase with each other. The whole concept behind ZDBs is that the signals at the destination chips are all going HIGH at the same time as the input to the ZDB. In order to achieve this, layout must compensate for trace length between the ZDB and the target devices. The method of compensation is described below. External feedback is the trait that allows for this compensation. Since the PLL on the ZDB will cause the feedback signal to be in phase with the reference signal. When laying out the board, match the trace lengths between the output being used for feed back and the FBIN input to the PLL. Document #: 38-07167 Rev. *B If it is desirable to either add a little delay, or slightly precede the input signal, this may also be affected by either making the trace to the FBIN pin a little shorter or a little longer than the traces to the devices being clocked. Inserting Other Devices in Feedback Path Another nice feature available due to the external feedback is the ability to synchronize signals up to the signal coming from some other device. This implementation can be applied to any device (ASIC, multiple output clock buffer/driver, etc.) which is put into the feedback path. Referring to Figure 2, if the traces between the ASIC/buffer and the destination of the clock signal(s) (A) are equal in length to the trace between the buffer and the FBIN pin, the signals at the destination(s) device will be driven HIGH at the same time the Reference clock provided to the ZDB goes HIGH. Synchronizing the other outputs of the ZDB to the outputs form the ASIC/Buffer is more complex however, as any propagation delay in the ASIC/Buffer must be accounted for.

Longer input rise and fall time will degrade skew and jitter performance. 3. Skew is measured at VDD/2 on rising edges. 4. Duty cycle is measured at VDD/2. 5. Production tests are run at 133 MHz. 6.
