ICS9112-17
Low Skew Output Buffer
General Description
The
ICS9112-17
is a high performance, low skew, low jitter
zero delay buffer. It uses a phase lock loop (PLL)
technology to align, in both phase and frequency, the REF
input with the CLKOUT signal. It is designed to distribute
high speed clocks in PC systems operating at speeds
from 25 to 133 MHz.
ICS9112-17
is a zero delay buffer that provides
synchronization between the input and output. The
synchronization is established via CLKOUT feed back to
the input of the PLL. Since the skew between the input and
output is less than +/- 350 pS, the part acts as a zero delay
buffer.
The
ICS9112-17
has two banks of four outputs controlled
by two address lines. Depending on the selected address
line, bank B or both banks can be put in a tri-state mode.
In this mode, the PLL is still running and only the output
buffers are put in a high impedance mode. The test mode
shuts off the PLL and connects the input directly to the
output buffers (see table below for functionality).
The
ICS9112-17
comes in a sixteen pin 150 mil SOIC or
16 pin SSOP package. In the absence of REF input, will
be in the power down mode. In this mode, the PLL is turned
off and the output buffers are pulled low. Power down mode
provides the lowest power consumption for a standby
condition.

Output to Output Skew
The skew between CLKOUT and the CLKA/B outputs is not dynamically adjusted by the PLL. Since CLKOUT is one
of the inputs to the PLL, zero phase difference is maintained from REF to CLKOUT. If all outputs are equally loaded,
zero phase difference will maintained from REF to all outputs.
If applications requiring zero output-output skew, all the outputs must equally loaded.
If the CLKA/B outputs are less loaded than CLKOUT, CLKA/B outputs will lead it; and if the CLKA/B is more loaded
than CLKOUT, CLKA/B will lag the CLKOUT.
Since the CLKOUT and the CLKA/B outputs are identical, they all start at the same time, but different loads cause them
to have different rise times and different times crossing the measurement thresholds.
