133- MHz frequencies, and has higher drive than the -1
devices. All parts have on-chip PLL’s
that lock to an input
clock on the REF pin. The PLL feedback is on-chip and is
obtained from the CLKOUT pad.
The ASM5P2309A 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 ASM5P2309A and ASM5P2305A 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.
0.35µ
CMOS
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 ASM5P2309A and the ASM5P2305A are available in
two different configurations, as shown in the ordering
information table. The ASM5P23XXA-1 is the base part.
The ASM5P23XXA-1H is the high drive version of the -1
and its rise and fall times are much faster than -1 part.
packages
Less than 200 ps cycle-to-cycle jitter is compatible
with Pentium based systems.

Functional Description
ASM5P2309A is a versatile, 3.3V zero-delay buffer
designed to distribute high-speed clocks. It accepts one
reference input and drives out nine low-skew clocks. It is
available in a 16-pin package. The ASM5P2305A is the
eight-pin version of the ASM5P2309A. It accepts one
reference input and drives out five low-skew clocks.
The -1H version of the ASM5P23XXA 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.

–
The input must toggle somewhere between 0.8 and 2.0. We guarantee the limits of 0.8 and 2.0, but can't guarantee anything tighter than
that. As Vdd moves higher the toggle point will move higher, but will always stay below 2.0V. As Vdd moves lower, the toggle point will
move lower, but always stay higher than 0.8V. What the 2.0V MIN Vih specification means is that you put 2.0V or a higher voltage into the
device, and you will have a logic HIGH. If you put 0.8V or a lower voltage into the device, you will have a logic LOW ( Vil spec = 0.8V max).
It will toggle someplace in between 0.8V and 2.0V, but we don't guarantee exactly where, and the exact point will change depending upon
conditions. Characterization shows we toggle at 1.1V and 1.5V (showing a little hysteresis), everything is perfect. We meet spec, plus have
~ 300mV noise immunity on the low end and ~500mV noise immunity on the high side. Under nominal conditions, with no hysteresis, most
devices will toggle at about 1.5V for both high and low.
