CY7C9915 PRELIMINARY 3.3V Programmable Skew Clock Buffer Features Functional Description * All output pair skew <100 ps (typical) The CY7C9915 RoboClock is a 150-MHz Low-voltage Programmable Skew Clock Buffer that offers user-selectable control over system clock functions. This multiple-output clock driver provides the system integrator with functions necessary to optimize the timing of high-performance computer systems. Eight individual drivers, arranged as four pairs of user-controllable outputs, can each drive terminated transmission lines with impedances as low as 50 while delivering minimal and specified output skews and full-swing logic levels (LVTTL). * Input Frequency Range: 3.75 MHz to 150 MHz * Output Frequency Range: 3.75 MHz to 150 MHz * User-selectable output functions -- Selectable skew to 18 ns -- Inverted and non-inverted -- Operation at 12 and 14 input frequency -- Operation at 2x and 4x input frequency (input as low as 3.75 MHz) * Zero input-to-output delay * 3.3V power supply * 3.0% Output Duty Cycle Distortion * LVTTL outputs drive 50 terminated lines * Low operating current Each output can be hardwired to one of nine delay or function configurations. Delay increments of 0.42 to 1.6 ns are determined by the operating frequency with outputs able to skew up to 6 time units from their nominal "zero" skew position. The completely integrated PLL allows external load and transmission line delay effects to be canceled. When this "zero delay" capability of the LVPSCB is combined with the selectable output skew functions, the user can create output-to-output delays of up to 12 time units. Divide-by-two and divide-by-four output functions are provided for additional flexibility in designing complex clock systems. When combined with the internal PLL, these divide functions allow distribution of a low-frequency clock that can be multiplied by two or four at the clock destination. This facility minimizes clock distribution difficulty while allowing maximum system clock speed and flexibility. * 32-pin PLCC package * Jitter < 100ps peak-to-peak (< 15 ps RMS) Block Diagram Pin Configuration SKEW SELECT 2F1 TEST REF GND VCCQ 4F0 28 27 GND 4F1 6 7 VCCQ 8 26 1F0 VCCN4 9 25 VCCN1 4Q1 10 24 1Q0 4Q0 11 23 1Q1 GND 12 22 GND GND 13 21 GND CY7C9915 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 2F0 1F1 2Q0 1Q0 1F0 1F1 Cypress Semiconductor Corporation Document #: 38-07687 Rev. *A 2Q1 2Q1 VCCN2 2Q0 MATRIX FB 2F0 2F1 1 32 31 30 29 3Q0 3Q1 2 3Q1 3F0 3F1 4Q1 3 5 4Q0 SELECT INPUTS (THREE LEVEL) 4 3F1 FS 4F0 4F1 FS VCO AND TIME UNIT GENERATOR VCCN3 REF FILTER 3Q0 PHASE FREQ DET FB 3F0 TEST 1Q1 * 3901 North First Street * San Jose, CA 95134 * 408-943-2600 Revised April 29, 2005 [+] Feedback CY7C9915 PRELIMINARY Pin Definitions (CY7C9915) Pin No. Name I/O Type Description 1 REF Input LVTTL/LVCMOS Reference Clock Input 17 FB Input LVTTL Feedback Clock Input FS Input Three-level Three Level Frequency Range Select 26,27 3 1F0, 1F1 Input Three-level Three level function select for 1Q0,1Q1 29,30 2F0, 2F1 Input Three-level Three level function select for 2Q0,2Q1 4,5 3F0, 3F1 Input Three-level Three level function select for 3Q0,3Q1 6,7 4F0, 4F1 Input Three-level Three level function select for 4Q0,4Q1 31 Test Input Three-level Three level select for test modes 23,24 1Q0, 1Q1 Output LVTTL Output Pair 19,20 2Q0, 2Q1 Output LVTTL Output Pair 14,15 3Q0, 3Q1 Output LVTTL Output Pair 10,11 4Q0, 4Q1 Output LVTTL Output Pair 25 VCCN1 Power POWER 3.3V Power Supply for output pair 1Q0 and 1Q1. 18 VCCN2 Power POWER 3.3V Power Supply for output pair 2Q0 and 2Q1. 16 VCCN3 Power POWER 3.3V Power Supply for output pair 3Q0 and 3Q1. 9 VCCN4 Power POWER 3.3V Power Supply for output pair 4Q0 and 4Q1. 2,8 VCCQ Power POWER 3.3V Core Power Ground POWER Ground 12,13,21,22, GND 28, 32 Block Diagram Description Phase Frequency Detector and Filter These two blocks accept inputs from the Reference Frequency (REF) input and the Feedback (FB) input and generate correction information to control the frequency of the Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO). These blocks, along with the VCO, form a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) that tracks the incoming REF signal. VCO and Time Unit Generator The VCO accepts analog control inputs from the PLL filter block and generates a frequency that is used by the time unit generator to create discrete time units that are selected in the skew select matrix. The operational range of the VCO is determined by the FS control pin. The time unit (tU) is determined by the operating frequency of the device and the level of the FS pin as shown in Table 1.

Each section has two low-skew, high-fanout drivers (xQ0, xQ1), and two corresponding three-level function select (xF0, xF1) inputs. Table 2 below shows the nine possible output functions for each section as determined by the function select inputs. All times are measured with respect to the REF input assuming that the output connected to the FB input has 0tU selected. Notes: 1. For all three-state inputs, HIGH indicates a connection to VCC, LOW indicates a connection to GND, and MID indicates an open connection. Internal termination circuitry holds an unconnected input to VCC/2. 2. The level to be set on FS is determined by the "normal" operating frequency (fNOM) of the VCO and Time Unit Generator (see Logic Block Diagram). Nominal frequency (fNOM) always appears at 1Q0 and the other outputs when they are operated in their undivided modes (see Table 2). The frequency appearing at the REF and FB inputs will be fNOM when the output connected to FB is undivided. The frequency of the REF and FB inputs will be fNOM/2 or fNOM/4 when the part is configured for a frequency multiplication by using a divided output as the FB input.

Typical Outputs with FB Connected to a Zero-Skew Output[3] Test Mode The TEST input is a three-level input. In normal system operation, this pin is connected to ground, allowing the CY7C9915 to operate as explained briefly above (for testing purposes, any of the three-level inputs can have a removable jumper to ground, or be tied LOW through a 100 resistor. This will allow an external tester to change the state of these pins.) If the TEST input is forced to its MID or HIGH state, the device will operate with its internal phase locked loop disconnected, and input levels supplied to REF will directly control all outputs. Relative output to output functions are the same as in normal mode. In contrast with normal operation (TEST tied LOW). All outputs will function based only on the connection of their own function select inputs (xF0 and xF1) and the waveform characteristics of the REF input. Note: 3. FB connected to an output selected for "zero" skew (i.e., xF1 = xF0 = MID).

Zero-Skew and/or Zero-Delay Clock Driver Figure 2 shows the LVPSCB configured as a zero-skew clock buffer. In this mode the CY7C9915 can be used as the basis for a low-skew clock distribution tree. When all of the function select inputs (xF0, xF1) are left open, the outputs are aligned and may each drive a terminated transmission line to an independent load. The FB input can be tied to any output in this configuration and the operating frequency range is selected with the FS pin. The low-skew specification, coupled with the ability to drive terminated transmission lines (with impedances as low as 50), allows efficient printed circuit board design.

Programmable-Skew Clock Driver Figure 3 shows a configuration to equalize skew between metal traces of different lengths. In addition to low skew between outputs, the LVPSCB can be programmed to stagger the timing of its outputs. The four groups of output pairs can each be programmed to different output timing. Skew timing can be adjusted over a wide range in small increments with the appropriate strapping of the function select pins. In this configuration the 4Q0 output is fed back to FB and configured for zero skew. The other three pairs of outputs are programmed to yield different skews relative to the feedback. By advancing the clock signal on the longer traces or retarding the clock signal on shorter traces, all loads can receive the clock pulse Document #: 38-07687 Rev. *A at the same time. In this illustration the FB input is connected to an output with 0-ns skew (xF1, xF0 = MID) selected. The internal PLL synchronizes the FB and REF inputs and aligns their rising edges to insure that all outputs have precise phase alignment. Clock skews can be advanced by 6 time units (tU) when using an output selected for zero skew as the feedback. A wider range of delays is possible if the output connected to FB is also skewed. Since "Zero Skew", +tU, and -tU are defined relative to output groups, and since the PLL aligns the rising edges of REF and FB, it is possible to create wider output skews by Page 4 of 14 [+] Feedback CY7C9915 PRELIMINARY proper selection of the xFn inputs. For example a +10 tU between REF and 3Qx can be achieved by connecting 1Q0 to FB and setting 1F0 = 1F1 = GND, 3F0 = MID, and 3F1 = High. (Since FB aligns at -4 tU and 3Qx skews to +6 tU, a total of +10 tU skew is realized.) Many other configurations can be realized by skewing both the output used as the FB input and skewing the other outputs. REF 1Qx and 2Qx outputs run at 80 MHz. The 4Q0 and 4Q1 outputs are programmed to divide by two, which results in a 40-MHz waveform at these outputs. Note that the 20- and 40-MHz clocks fall simultaneously and are out of phase on their rising edge. This will allow the designer to use the rising edges of the 12 frequency and 14 frequency outputs without concern for rising-edge skew. The 2Q0, 2Q1, 1Q0, and 1Q1 outputs run at 80 MHz and are skewed by programming their select inputs accordingly. Note that the FS pin is wired for 80-MHz operation because that is the frequency of the fastest output.

In this example the 4Q0 output used as the FB input is programmed for invert (4F0 = 4F1 = HIGH) while the other three pairs of outputs are programmed for zero skew. When 4F0 and 4F1 are tied HIGH, 4Q0 and 4Q1 become inverted zero phase outputs. The PLL aligns the rising edge of the FB input with the rising edge of the REF. This causes the 1Q, 2Q, and 3Q outputs to become the "inverted" outputs with respect to the REF input. By selecting which output is connect to FB, it is possible to have 2 inverted and 6 non-inverted outputs or 6 inverted and 2 non-inverted outputs. The correct configuration would be determined by the need for more (or fewer) inverted outputs. 1Q, 2Q, and 3Q outputs can also be skewed to compensate for varying trace delays independent of inversion on 4Q.

Frequency Multiplier with Skew Connections Figure 5 illustrates the LVPSCB configured as a clock multiplier. The 3Q0 output is programmed to divide by four and is fed back to FB. This causes the PLL to increase its frequency until the 3Q0 and 3Q1 outputs are locked at 20 MHz while the Document #: 38-07687 Rev. *A FB REF FS 4F0 4F1 4Q0 4Q1 10 MHz 3F0 3F1 2F0 2F1 3Q0 3Q1 5 MHz 1F0 1F1 TEST 1Q0 1Q1 2Q0 2Q1 20 MHz Figure 6. Frequency Divider Connections Figure 6 demonstrates the LVPSCB in a clock divider application. 2Q0 is fed back to the FB input and programmed for zero skew. 3Qx is programmed to divide by four. 4Qx is programmed to divide by two. Note that the falling edges of the 4Qx and 3Qx outputs are aligned. This allows use of the rising edges of the 12 frequency and 14 frequency without concern for skew mismatch. The 1Qx outputs are programmed to zero skew and are aligned with the 2Qx outputs. In this example, the FS input is grounded to configure the device in the 15- to 30-MHz range since the highest frequency output is running at 20 MHz. Figure 7 shows some of the functions that are selectable on the 3Qx and 4Qx outputs. These include inverted outputs and outputs that offer divide-by-2 and divide-by-4 timing. An inverted output allows the system designer to clock different subsystems on opposite edges, without suffering from the pulse asymmetry typical of non-ideal loading. This function allows the two subsystems to each be clocked 180 degrees out of phase, but still to be aligned within the skew spec. The divided outputs offer a zero-delay divider for portions of the system that need the clock to be divided by either two or four, and still remain within a narrow skew of the "1X" clock. Without this feature, an external divider would need to be added, and the propagation delay of the divider would add to the skew between the different clock signals. These divided outputs, coupled with the Phase Locked Loop, allow the LVPSCB to multiply the clock rate at the REF input by either two or four. This mode will enable the designer to distribute a low-frequency clock between various portions of the system, and then locally multiply the clock rate to a more suitable frequency, while still maintaining the low-skew characteristics of the clock driver. The LVPSCB can perform all of the functions described above at the same time. It can multiply by Page 5 of 14 [+] Feedback CY7C9915 PRELIMINARY two and four or divide by two (and four) at the same time that it is shifting its outputs over a wide range or maintaining zero skew between selected outputs.

Cascaded clock buffers will accumulate low-frequency jitter because of the non-ideal filtering characteristics of the PLL filter.
