ASM5P2304A
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 ASM5P2304A has two banks of two outputs each.
Multiple ASM5P2304A 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.
The
ASM5P2304A
is
available
in
two
different
Zero input - output propagation delay, adjustable
by capacitive load on FBK input.
Multiple configurations - Refer “ASM5P2304A
Configurations Table”.
Input frequency range: 15MHz to 133MHz
Multiple low-skew outputs.

configurations (Refer “ASM5P2304A Configurations Table).
The ASM5P2304A-1 is the base part, where the output
frequencies equal the reference if there is no counter in the
feedback path. The ASM5P2304A-1H is the high-drive
version of the -1 and the rise and fall times on this device
are much faster.
The ASM5P2304A-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.

Output Load Difference: FBK Load - CLKA/CLKB Load (pF)
REF Input to CLKA/CLKB Delay Vs Difference in Loading between FBK pin and CLKA/CLKB pins
To close the feedback loop of the ASM5P2304A, 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 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.
