‘SpreadTrak’ Zero Delay Buffer
General Features
10 MHz to 133- MHz operating range, compatible
with CPU and PCI bus frequencies.
Zero input - output propagation delay.
Multiple low-skew outputs.
Output-output skew less than 250 ps.
Device-device skew less than 700 ps.
One input drives 9 outputs, grouped as 4 + 4
+ 1 (ASM5P23S09A).
One input drives 5 outputs (ASM5P23S05A).

133- MHz frequencies, and has higher drive than the -1
devices. All parts have on-chip PLLs that lock to an input
clock on the REF pin. The PLL feedback is on-chip and is
obtained from the CLKOUT pad.
The ASM5P23S09A has two banks of four outputs each,
which can be controlled by the Select inputs as shown in
the Select Input Decoding Table. If all the output clocks are
not required, Bank B can be three-stated. The select input
also allows the input clock to be directly applied to the
outputs for chip and system testing purposes.
Multiple ASM5P23S09A and ASM5P23S05A 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 700ps.
All outputs have less than 200 ps of cycle-to-cycle jitter.

The input and output propagation delay is guaranteed to be
less than 250 ps, and the output to output skew is
guaranteed to be less than 250ps.
The ASM5P23S09A and the ASM5P23S05A are available
in two different configurations, as shown in the ordering
information table. The ASM5P23SXXA-1 is the base part.
The ASM5P23SXXA-1H is the high drive version of the -1
and its rise and fall times are much faster than -1 part.

Less than 200 ps cycle-to-cycle jitter is compatible
with Pentium based systems.

Functional Description
ASM5P23S09A is a versatile, 3.3V zero-delay buffer
designed to distribute high-speed clocks with Spread
Spectrum capability. It is available in a 16-pin package. The
ASM5P23S05A
is
the
eight-pin
version
of
the
ASM5P23S09A. It accepts one reference input and drives
out five low-skew clocks.
The -1H version of the ASM5P23SXXA operates at up to

Notes:
1. This output is driven and has an internal feedback for the PLL. The load on this output can be adjusted to
change the skew between the reference and the output.
Zero Delay and Skew Control
All outputs should be uniformly loaded to achieve
Zero Delay between input and output. Since the
CLKOUT pin is the internal feedback to the PLL, its
relative loading can adjust the input-output delay.
For applications requiring zero input-output delay, all
outputs, including CLKOUT, must be equally loaded.
Even if CLKOUT is not used, it must have a
capacitive load equal to that on other outputs, for
obtaining zero-input-output delay
.
SpreadTrak
Many systems being designed now utilize a technology
called Spread Spectrum Frequency Timing Generation.
ASM5P23S09A and ASM5P23S05A are designed 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 Spread Spectrum feature
through, the result is a significant amount of tracking skew
which may cause problems in the systems requiring
synchronization.
