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 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.
Skew Select Matrix
The skew select matrix contains 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 3
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 2.

Notes
1. For all tri-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 is 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 3).
The frequency appearing at the REF and FB
inputs are fNOM when the output connected to FB is undivided. The frequency of the REF and FB inputs are fNOM/2 or fNOM/4 when the part is configured for a
frequency multiplication by 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 VCC has reached 4.3V.

Test Mode
The TEST input is a three level input. In normal system
operation, this pin is connected to ground, enabling the
CY7B991 or CY7B992 to operate as explained in
“Skew Select
Matrix”
on page 3. 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 controls 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
selects inputs (xF0 and xF1) and the waveform characteristics of
the REF input.
Note
4. FB connected to an output selected for “zero” skew (i.e., xF1 = xF0 = MID).
