DESCRIPTION
This 3.3V low-skew, low-jitter, precision LVDS output clock
divider accepts any high-speed differential clock input (AC- or
DC-coupled) CML, LVPECL, HSTL or LVDS and divides down
the frequency using a programmable divider ratio to create a
frequency-locked, lower speed version of the input clock. The
SY89873L includes two output banks. Bank A is an exact
copy of the input clock (pass through) with matched
propagation delay to Bank B, the divided output bank. Available
divider ratios are 2, 4, 8 and 16. In a typical 622MHz clock
system this would provide availability of 311MHz, 155MHz,
77MHz or 38MHz auxiliary clock components.
The differential input buffer has a unique internal termination
design that allows access to the termination network through
a VT pin. This feature allows the device to easily interface to
all AC- or DC-coupled differential logic standards. A V
REF-AC
reference is included for AC-coupled applications.
The SY89873L is part of Micrel’s high-speed Precision
Edge
®
timing and distribution family. For 2.5V applications,
consider the SY89872U. For applications that require an
LVPECL output, consider the SY89871U.
The /RESET input asynchronously resets the divider outputs
(Bank B). In the pass-through function (Bank A) the /RESET
synchronously enables or disables the outputs on the next
falling edge of IN (rising edge of /N). Refer to the Timing
Diagram.

site at: www.micrel.com.

Termination Center-Tap: For CML and LVDS inputs, leave this pin floating. Otherwise,
see

Notes:
1. Permanent device damage may occur if
“Absolute Maximum Ratings”
are exceeded. This is a stress rating only and functional operation is not implied
at conditions other than those detailed in the operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure to
“Absolute Maximum Ratings”
conditions for extended
periods may affect device reliability.
2. The data sheet limits are not guaranteed if the device is operated beyond the operating ratings.
3. Due to the limited drive capability use for input of the same package only.
4. Junction-to-board resistance assumes exposed pad is soldered (or equivalent) to the device’s most negative potential on the PCB.
5. The circuit is designed to meet the DC specifications shown in the above table after thermal equilibrium has been established.
6. Due to the internal termination (see
“Input Buffer Structure”
) the input current depends on the applied voltages at IN, /IN and V
T
inputs. Do not apply a
combination of voltages that causes the input current to exceed the maximum limit!
7. See
“Timing Diagram”
for V
IN
definition. V
IN
(max) is specified when V
T
is floating.
8. See Figures 1c and 1d for V
DIFF
definition.
9. Operating using V
IN
is limited to AC-coupled PECL or CML applications only. Connect directly to V
T
pin.
