ICS91309
High Performance Communication Buffer
General Description
The
ICS91309
is a high performance, low skew, low jitter
zero delay buffer. It uses a phase lock loop (PLL)
technology to align, in both phase and frequency, the REF
input with the CLKOUT signal. It is designed to distribute
high speed clocks in communication systems operating
at speeds from 10 to 133 MHz.
The
ICS91309
provides synchronization between the
input and output. The synchronization is established via
CLKOUT feed back to the input of the PLL. Since the skew
between the input and output is less than +/- 350 pS, the
part acts as a zero delay buffer.
ICS91309
has two banks of four outputs controlled by two
address lines. Depending on the selected address line,
bank B or both banks can be put in a tri-state mode. In this
mode, the PLL is still running and only the output buffers
are put in a high impedance mode. The test mode shuts
off the PLL and connects the input directly to the output
buffers (see table below for functionality).
ICS91309
comes in a 16-pin 150 mil SOIC, SSOP or
4.40mm TSSOP package. In the absence of REF input,
the device will enter a powerdown mode. In this mode, the
PLL is turned off and the output buffers are pulled low.
Power down mode provides the lowest power consumption
for a standby condition.

Output to Output Skew
The skew between CLKOUT and the CLKA/B outputs is not dynamically adjusted by the PLL. Since CLKOUT is one
of the inputs to the PLL, zero phase difference is maintained from REF to CLKOUT. If all outputs are equally loaded,
zero phase difference will maintained from REF to all outputs.
If applications requiring zero output-output skew, all the outputs must equally loaded.
If the CLKA/B outputs are less loaded than CLKOUT, CLKA/B outputs will lead it; and if the CLKA/B is more loaded
than CLKOUT, CLKA/B will lag the CLKOUT.
Since the CLKOUT and the CLKA/B outputs are identical, they all start at the same time, but different loads cause them
to have different rise times and different times crossing the measurement thresholds.
REF input and
all outputs
loaded Equally
REF input and CLKA/B
outputs loaded equally, with
CLKOUT loaded More.
