Differential-to-3.3V LVPECL
Zero Delay/Multiplier/Divider
G
ENERAL
D
ESCRIPTION
The 873996 is a Zero Delay/Multiplier/Divider with hitless input clock
switching capability and a member of the family of low jitter/phase
noise devices from IDT. The 873996 is ideal for use in redundant,
fault tolerant clock trees where low phase noise and low jitter are
critical. The device receives two differential LVPECL clock signals
from which it generates 6 LVPECL clock outputs with “zero” delay.
The output divider and feedback divider selections also allow for
frequency multiplication or division.
The 873996 Dynamic Clock Switch (DCS) circuit continuously
monitors both input clock signals. Upon detection of a failure (input
clock stuck LOW or HIGH for at least 1 period), INP_BAD for that
clock will be set HIGH. If that clock is the primary clock, the DCS will
switch to the good secondary clock and phase/frequency alignment
will occur with minimal output phase disturbance.
The low jitter characteristics combined with input clock monitor-ing
and automatic switching from bad to good input clocks make the
873996 an ideal choice for mission critical applications that utilize
1G or 10G Ethernet or 1G/4G/10G Fibre Channel.

Active LOW Master Reset. When logic LOW, the internal dividers are
reset causing the true outputs Qx to go low and the inverted outputs
nQx to go high. When logic HIGH, the internal dividers and the out-
puts are enabled. LVCMOS / LVTTL interface levels.
When HIGH-to-LOW, resets the input bad flags and aligns CLK_INDI-
CATOR to SEL_CLK. LVCMOS / LVTTL interface levels.

NOTE 1: The Phase Detector has a maximum frequency limit of 200MHz, so these values cannot be used for feedback. The
reason these options are available is for applications that use an output on Bank A or Bank B for feedback and the QFB/
nQFB pair for a high frequency output. For example, a user may need two 62.5MHz outputs, three 125MHz outputs and one
625MHz output from a 62.5MHz reference clock. For this case, the user would use one of the Bank A Outputs for feedback
and set the bank for /10, and use the other two Bank A Outputs to drive the 2 loads. The Bank B Output Divider would be set
for /5, and the Feedback Divider would be set for /1.
