ESCRIPTION
The 873990 is a low voltage, low skew, 3.3V LVPECL/ECL
Clock Generator. The 873990 has two selectable clock inputs.
The XTAL1 and XTAL2 are used to interface to a crystal and
the TEST_CLK pin can accept a LVCMOS or LVTTL input.
This device has a fully integrated PLL along with frequency
configurable outputs. An external feedback input and output
regenerates clocks with “zero delay”.
The four independent banks of outputs each have their own
output dividers, which allow the device to generate a
multitude of different bank frequency ratios and output-to-input
frequency ratios. The output frequency range is 25MHz to
400MHz and the input frequency range is 6.25MHz to 125MHz.
The PLL_SEL input can be used to bypass the PLL for test and
system debug purposes. In bypass mode, the input clock is
routed around the PLL and into the
internal output dividers.
The 873990 also has a SYNC output which can be used for
system synchronization purposes. It monitors Bank A and Bank
C outputs for coincident rising edges and signals a pulse per the
timing diagrams in this data sheet. This feature is used primarily
in applications where Bank A and Bank C are
running at different frequencies, and is particularly useful when
they are running at non-integer multiples of each other.
Example Applications:
1. Line Card Multiplier: Multiply 19.44MHz from a back-plane
to 77.76MHz on the line card ASIC and Serdes.
2. Zero Delay Buffer: Fan out up to thirteen 100MHz copies
from a reference clock to multiple processing units on an
embedded system.

Description
Negative supply pin.
Active High Master Reset. When logic HIGH, the internal dividers are
reset causing the true outputs (Qx) to go low and the inverted outputs
Pulldown
(nQx) to go high. When logic LOW, the internal dividers and the outputs
are enabled. LVCMOS/LVTTL interface levels.
PLL enable pin. When logic LOW, PLL is enabled. When logic HIGH,
Pulldown
PLL is in bypass mode. LVCMOS/LVTTL interface levels.
Selects between the different reference inputs as the PLL reference
Pulldown source. When logic LOW, selects crystal inputs. When logic HIGH, se-
lects TEST_CLK. LVCMOS/LVTTL interface levels.
Pulldown Feedback frequency select pins. LVCMOS/LVTTL interface levels.
Pulldown LVCMOS/LVTTL test clock input.
Crystal oscillator interface. XTAL_IN is the input, XTAL_OUT is the
output.
