Low Skew CMOS PLL Clock
Driver
The MC88915 Clock Driver utilizes phase–locked loop
technology to lock its low skew outputs’ frequency and phase
onto an input reference clock. It is designed to provide clock
distribution for high performance PC’s and workstations.
The PLL allows the high current, low skew outputs to lock
onto a single clock input and distribute it with essentially zero
delay to multiple components on a board. The PLL also allows
the MC88915 to multiply a low frequency input clock and
distribute it locally at a higher (2X) system frequency. Multiple
88915’s can lock onto a single reference clock, which is ideal
for applications when a central system clock must be
distributed synchronously to multiple boards (see Figure 7).
Five “Q” outputs (QO–Q4) are provided with less than 500
ps skew between their rising edges. The Q5 output is inverted
(180° phase shift) from the “Q” outputs. The 2X_Q output runs
at twice the “Q” output frequency, while the Q/2 runs at 1/2 the
“Q” frequency.
The VCO is designed to run optimally between 20 MHz and
the 2X_Q Fmax specification. The wiring diagrams in Figure 5
detail the different feedback configurations which create
specific input/output frequency relationships. Possible
frequency ratios of the “Q” outputs to the SYNC input are 2:1,
1:1, and 1:2.
The FREQ_SEL pin provides one bit programmable
divide–by in the feedback path of the PLL. It selects between
divide–by–1 and divide–by–2 of the VCO before its signal
reaches the internal clock distribution section of the chip (see
the block diagram on page 2). In most applications
FREQ_SEL should be held high (÷1). If a low frequency
reference clock input is used, holding FREQ_SEL low (÷2) will
allow the VCO to run in its optimal range (>20 MHz).
In normal phase–locked operation the PLL_EN pin is held
high. Pulling the PLL_EN pin low disables the VCO and puts
the 88915 in a static “test mode”. In this mode there is no
frequency limitation on the input clock, which is necessary for
a low frequency board test environment. The second SYNC
input can be used as a test clock input to further simplify
board–level testing (see detailed description on page 11).
A lock indicator output (LOCK) will go high when the loop is
in steady–state phase and frequency lock. The LOCK output
will go low if phase–lock is lost or when the PLL_EN pin is low.
Under certain conditions the lock output may remain low, even
though the part is phase–locked. Therefore the LOCK output
signal should not be used to drive any active circuitry; it should
be used for passive monitoring or evaluation purposes only.

MC88915
General AC Specification Notes
1. Several specifications can only be measured when the
MC88915 is in phase–locked operation. It is not possible
to have the part in phase–lock on ATE (automated test
equipment). Statistical characterization techniques were
used to guarantee those specifications which cannot be
measured on the ATE. MC88915 units were fabricated
with key transistor properties intentionally varied to
create a 14 cell designed experimental matrix. IC
performance was characterized over a range of transistor
properties (represented by the 14 cells) in excess of the
expected process variation of the wafer fabrication area.
Response Surface Modeling (RSM) techniques were
used to relate IC performance to the CMOS transistor
properties over operation voltage and temperature. IC
Performance to each specification and fab variation were
used in conjunction with Yield Surface Modeling™ (YSM
™)
methodology to set performance limits of ATE testable
specifications within those which are to be guaranteed by
statistical characterization. In this way all units passing
the ATE test will meet or exceed the non–tested
specifications limits.
2. These two specs (tRlSE/FALL and tPULSE Width 2X_Q
output) guarantee that the MC88915 meets the 25 MHz
68040 P–Clock input specification (at 50 MHz). For these
two specs to be guaranteed by Motorola, the termination
scheme shown below in Figure 1 must be used.
3. The wiring Diagrams and written explanations in Figure 5
demonstrate the input and output frequency relationships
for three possible feedback configurations. The allowable
SYNC input range for each case is also indicated. There
are two allowable SYNC frequency ranges, depending
whether FREQ_SEL is high or low. Although not shown, it
is possible to feed back the Q5 output, thus creating a
180° phase shift between the SYNC input and the “Q”
outputs. Table 1 below summarizes the allowable SYNC
frequency range for each possible configuration.

4. A 1 MΩ resistor tied to either Analog VCC or Analog GND
as shown in Figure 2 is required to ensure no jitter is
present on the MC88915 outputs. This technique causes
a phase offset between the SYNC input and the output
connected to the FEEDBACK input, measured at the
input pins. The tPD spec describes how this offset varies
with process, temperature, and voltage. The specs were
arrived at by measuring the phase relationship for the 14
lots described in note 1 while the part was in
phase–locked operation. The actual measurements were
made with a 10 MHz SYNC input (1.0 ns edge rate from
0.8 V – 2.0 V) with the Q/2 output fed back. The phase
measurements were made at 1.5 V. The Q/2 output was
terminated at the FEEDBACK input with 100Ω to VCC and
100
Ω
to ground.
