Functional Description
The CY7B9911V 3.3 V RoboClock+™ High Speed Low Voltage
Programmable Skew Clock Buffer (LVPSCB) offers user
selectable control over system clock functions. These multiple
output clock drivers provide the system integrator with functions
necessary to optimize the timing of high performance computer
systems. Each of the eight individual drivers, arranged in four
pairs of user controllable outputs, can drive terminated trans-
mission lines with impedances as low as 50Ω. They deliver
minimal and specified output skews and full swing logic levels
(LVTTL).
Each output is hardwired to one of nine delay or function config-
urations. Delay increments of 0.7 to 1.5 ns are determined by the
operating frequency with outputs that can skew up to ±6 time units
from their nominal “zero” skew position. The completely integrated
PLL allows external load and cancels the transmission line delay
effects. When this “zero delay” capability of the LVPSCB is
combined with the selectable output skew functions, you 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 are multiplied by
two or four at the clock destination. This facility minimizes clock
distribution difficulty enabling maximum system clock speed and
flexibility.

Block Diagram Description
Phase Frequency Detector and Filter
The Phase Frequency Detector and Filter blocks accept inputs
from the Reference Frequency (REF) input and the Feedback
(FB) input. They 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.
Skew Select Matrix
The skew select matrix is comprised of four independent
sections. Each section has two low skew, high fanout drivers
(xQ0, xQ1), and two corresponding three level function select
(xF0, xF1) inputs.
Table 2
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 0t
U
selected.

VCO and Time Unit Generator
The VCO accepts analog control inputs from the PLL filter block.
It generates a frequency 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 (t
U
) is determined by the operating
frequency of the device and the level of the FS pin as shown in
Table 1.

Notes
1. For all three-state inputs, HIGH indicates a connection to V
CC
, LOW indicates a connection to GND, and MID indicates an open connection. Internal termination
circuitry holds an unconnected input to V
CC
/2.
2. The level to be set on FS is determined by the “normal” operating frequency (f
NOM
) of the V
CO
and Time Unit Generator (seeLogic
Block Diagram).
Nominal frequency
(f
NOM
) 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 is f
NOM
when the output connected to FB is undivided. The frequency of the REF and FB inputs is f
NOM
/2 or f
NOM
/4 when the part is configured for a frequency
multiplication using a divided output as the FB input.
3. When the FS pin is selected HIGH, the REF input must not transition upon power up until V
CC
has reached 2.8 V.

Test Mode
The TEST input is a three level input. In normal system
operation, this pin is connected to ground, allowing the
CY7B9911V to operate as described in
“Block Diagram
Description”
on page 4. For testing purposes, any of the three
level inputs can have a removable jumper to ground or be tied
LOW through a 100Ω resistor. This enables an external tester to
change the state of these pins.
If the TEST input is forced to its MID or HIGH state, the device
operates with its internal phase locked loop disconnected, and
input levels supplied to REF 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
function based only on the connection of their own function
select inputs (xF0 and xF1) and the waveform characteristics of
the REF input.
Note
4. FB connected to an output selected for “zero” skew (that is, xF1 = xF0 = MID).
