3.3V PROGRAMMABLE SKEW PLL CLOCK DRIVER TURBOCLOCK II JR.
Output skew with respect to the REF input is adjustable to compensate
for PCB trace delays, backplane propagation delays or to accommodate
requirements for special timing relationships between clocked compo-
nents. Skew is selectable as a multiple of a time unit (tU) which ranges
from 625ps to 1.3ns (see Programmable Skew Range and Resolution
Table). There are nine skew configurations available for each output
pair. These configurations are chosen by the nF1:0 control pins. In order
to minimize the number of control pins, 3-level inputs (HIGH-MID-LOW)
are used, they are intended for but not restricted to hard-wiring. Undriven
3-level inputs default to the MID level. Where programmable skew is
not a requirement, the control pins can be left open for the zero skew
default setting. The Control Summary Table shows how to select specific
skew taps by using the nF1:0 control pins.
PROGRAMMABLE SKEW
EXTERNAL FEEDBACK
By providing external feedback, the IDT5V9950 gives users flexibility
with regard to skew adjustment. The FB signal is compared with the
input REF signal at the phase detector in order to drive the VCO. Phase
differences cause the VCO of the PLL to adjust upwards or downwards
accordingly.
An internal loop filter moderates the response of the VCO to the
phase detector. The loop filter transfer function has been chosen to
provide minimal jitter (or frequency variation) while still providing accu-
rate responses to input frequency changes.

NOTES:
1. The device may be operated outsi de recommended frequency ranges without damage, but functional operat i on i s not guaranteed.
2. The level to be set on FS is determined by the nominal operating frequency of the VCO and Time Unit Generator. The VCO frequency always
appears at 1Q1:0, 2Q1:0, and the higher out puts when they are operated in t heir undiv ided m odes. The frequenc y appearing at the RE F and FB input s
will be the same as VCO when the output connected to FB is undivided. The frequency of the REF and FB inputs will be 1/2 or 1/4 the VCO
frequency when the part is configured for frequency m ul tiplicati on by using a divided out put as the FB input .
3. Skew adj ustment range assumes that a z ero skew output is used for f eedback. I f a skewed Q output is used for feedback, then adjustm ent range wil l
be greater. For example if a 4tU skewed output is used for feedback, all other outputs will be skewed –4tU in addition to whatever skew value is
programmed for those outputs. ‘Max adjustment’ range applies to output pairs 3 and 4 where ± 6tU skew adjustment is possible and at the lowest
FNOM value.
