the REF pin. The PLL feedback is required to be driven to
FBK pin, and can be obtained from one of the outputs. The
input-to-output propagation delay is guaranteed to be less
than 250pS, and the output-to-output skew is guaranteed to
be less than 200pS.
The ASM5P23S04A has two banks of two outputs each.
Multiple ASM5P23S04A 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
500pS.

Table). The ASM5P23S04A-1 is the base part, where the
output frequencies equal the reference if there is no
counter in the feedback path. The ASM5P23S04A-1H is
the high-drive version of the -1 and the rise and fall times
on this device are much faster.
Functional Description
ASM5P23S04A is a versatile, 3.3V zero-delay buffer
designed
to
distribute
high-speed
clocks
in
PC,
workstation, datacom, telecom and other high-performance
applications. It is available in a 8 pin package. The part has
an on-chip PLL, which locks to an input clock, presented on
The ASM5P23S04A-2 allows the user to obtain REF and
1/2X or 2X frequencies on each output bank. The exact
configuration and output frequencies depend on which
output drives the feedback pin.

‘SpreadTrak’
Many systems being designed now utilize a technology
called Spread Spectrum Frequency Timing Generation.
ASM5P23S04A is designed so as not to filter off the
Spread Spectrum feature of the Reference Input,
1500
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.

Zero Delay and Skew Control
For applications requiring zero input-output delay, all
outputs must be equally loaded. To close the feedback loop
of ASM5P23S04A, the FBK pin can be driven from any of
the four available output pins. The output driving the FBK
pin will be driving a total load of 7pF plus any additional
load that it drives. The relative loading of this output (with
respect to the remaining outputs) can adjust the input
ASM5P23S04A
output delay. This is shown in the above graph. For
applications requiring zero input-output delay, all outputs
including the one providing feedback should be equally
loaded. If input-output delay adjustments are required, use
the above graph to calculate loading differences between
the feedback output and remaining outputs. For zero
output-output skew, be sure to load outputs equally.
