with Peak EMI reduction. PCS3P624Z05 is an eight-pin
version, accepts one reference input and drives out five
low-skew Timing-Safe™ clocks. PCS3P624Z09 accepts
one reference input and drives out nine low-skew Timing-
Safe™clocks.
PCS3P624Z05/09 has a DLY_CTRL for adjusting the
Input-Output clock delay, depending upon the value of
capacitor connected at this pin to GND.
PCS3P624Z05/09 operates from a 3.3V supply and is
available in two different packages, as shown in the
ordering information table, over commercial and Industrial
temperature range.
Application
PCS3P624Z05/09 is targeted for use in Displays and
Functional Description
PCS3P624Z05/09 is a versatile, 3.3V Zero-delay buffer
designed to distribute high frequency Timing-Safe™ clocks

Spread Spectrum Frequency Generation
The clocks in digital systems are typically square waves
with a 50% duty cycle and as frequencies increase the
edge rates also get faster. Analysis shows that a square
wave is composed of fundamental frequency and
harmonics. The fundamental frequency and harmonics
generate the energy peaks that become the source of
EMI. Regulatory agencies test electronic equipment by
measuring the amount of peak energy radiated from the
equipment. In fact, the peak level allowed decreases as
the frequency increases. The standard methods of
reducing EMI are to use shielding, filtering, multi-layer
PCS3P624Z05B/C
PCS3P624Z09B/C
PCBs etc. These methods are expensive. Spread
spectrum clocking reduces the peak energy by reducing
the Q factor of the clock. This is done by slowly
modulating the clock frequency. The PCS3P624Z05/09
uses the center modulation spread spectrum technique in
which the modulated output frequency varies above and
below
the
reference
frequency
with
a
specified
modulation rate. With center modulation, the average
frequency is the same as the unmodulated frequency and
there is no performance degradation
Zero Delay and Skew Control
All outputs should be uniformly loaded to achieve Zero
Delay between input and output. Since the DLY_CTRL pin
is the internal feedback to the PLL, its relative loading can
adjust the input-output delay.
For applications requiring zero input-output delay, all
outputs, including DLY_CTRL, must be equally loaded.
Even if DLY_CTRL is not used, it must have a capacitive
load equal to that on other outputs, for obtaining zero-
input-output delay.
Timing-Safe™ technology
Timing-Safe™ technology is the ability to modulate a
clock source with Spread Spectrum technology and
maintain synchronization with any associated data path.
