Functional Description
ASM5P23S04A is a versatile, 3.3V zero-delay buffer
designed
to
distribute
high-speed
clocks
in
PC,
workstation, datacom, telecom and other high-performance
applications. It is available in a 8-pin package. The part has
an on-chip PLL which locks to an input clock presented on
the REF pin. The PLL feedback is required to be driven to
ASMP5P23S04A
FBK pin, and can be obtained from one of the outputs. The
input-to-output propagation delay is guaranteed to be less
than 250ps, and the output-to-output skew is guaranteed to
be less than 200ps.
The ASM5P23S04A has two banks of two outputs each.
Multiple ASM5P23S04A devices can accept the same input
clock and distribute it. In this case the skew between the
outputs of the two devices is guaranteed to be less than
500ps.
The
ASM5P23S04A
(Refer
is
available
in
two
different
configurations
“ASM5P23S04A
Configurations
Table). The ASM5P23S04A-1 is the base part, where the
output frequencies equal the reference if there is no
counter in the feedback path. The ASM5P23S04A-1H is
the high-drive version of the -1 and the rise and fall times
on this device are much faster.
The ASM5P23S04A-2 allows the user to obtain Ref, 1/2 X
and 2X frequencies on each output bank. The exact
configuration and output frequencies depend on which
output drives the feedback pin. The ASM5P23S04A-5H is a
high-drive version with REF/2 on both banks

To close the feedback loop of the ASM5P23S04A,
the FBK pin can be driven from any of the four
available output pins. The output driving the FBK pin
will be driving a total load of 7 pF plus any additional
load that it drives. The relative loading of this output
(with respect to the remaining outputs) can adjust the
input output delay. This is shown in the above graph.

For applications requiring zero input-output delay, all
outputs including the one providing feedback should
be equally loaded. If input-output delay adjustments
are required, use the above graph to calculate
loading differences between the feedback output and
remaining outputs. For zero output-output skew, be
sure to load outputs equally.
