the Select Input Decoding Table. If all the output clocks are
not required, Bank B can be three-stated. The select input
also allows the input clock to be directly applied to the
outputs for chip and system testing purposes.
Multiple ASM5P2308A 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
700 pS.
available
in
five
different
configurations(Refer “ASM5P2308A Configurations” Table).
The ASM5P2308A-1 is the base part, where the output
frequencies equal the reference if there is no counter in the
feedback path. The ASM5P2308A-1H is the high-drive
version of the -1 and the rise and fall times on this device
are much faster.
Functional Description
ASM5P2308A is a versatile, 3.3V zero-delay buffer
designed to distribute high-speed clocks. It is available in a
16-pin package. The part has an on-chip PLL which locks
to an input clock presented on 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-input
propagation delay is guaranteed to be less than 350 pS,
and the output-to-output skew is guaranteed to be less than
250 pS.
The ASM5P2308A-2 allows the user to obtain 2X and 1X
frequencies on each output bank. The exact configuration
and output frequencies depends on which output drives the
feedback pin. The ASM5P2308A-3 allows the user to
obtain 4X and 2X frequencies on the outputs.
The ASM5P2308A-4 enables the user to obtain 2X clocks
on all outputs.
The ASM5P2308A-5H is a high-drive version with REF/2
on both banks. Thus, the part is extremely versatile, and
The ASM5P2308A has two banks of four outputs each,
which can be controlled by the select inputs as shown in
can be used in a variety of applications.

Note:
1. Outputs are non- inverted on 2308A-2 and 2308A-3 in bypass mode, S2 = 1 and S1 = 0.
2. Output phase is indeterminant (0° or 180° from input clock). If phase integrity is required, use the ASM5P2308A-2.

Zero Delay and Skew Control
All outputs should be uniformly loaded to achieve Zero Delay between input and output.

Output Load Difference: FBK Load - CLKA/CLKB Load (pF)
To close the feedback loop of the ASM5P2308A, the FBK pin can be driven from any of the eight available output pins. The
output driving the FBK pin will be driving a total load of 7 pF plus any additional load that it drives. The relative loading of
this output (with respect to the remaining outputs) can adjust the input 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.
