LOW-COST 3.3V ZERO DELAY BUFFER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Offered in both 16 pin SOIC and TSSOP packages,
XRK32309 is a low cost 3.3V zero delay buffer. It is
designed to distribute high speed clocks by taking
one reference input and driving nine output clocks.
The feedback of its on-chip PLL is internally
connected to the FB output. XRK32309 devices
operate over 10-100 MHz frequency range with 30 pF
loads and up to 120MHz with lower loads (10 pF).
The -1H version has higher drive strength than the
base -1 version, featuring faster rise and fall time.
The XRK32309 has two banks each with four
outputs. These outputs are controlled by two select
input lines according to the Table 2, “Select Input
Decoding,” on page 3. In cases where not all outputs
are needed, bank B can be tri-stated. The select
lines also enable putting the device in a bypass mode
where the input is directly applied to the outputs. This
feature is useful for chip and testing purposes.
Some applications may require distributing the clock
to several destinations. In such situations, multiple
XRK32309 devices can be connected to accept the
same input clock and generate several clock signals.

In this case, the skew between the outputs of two
devices is guaranteed to be less than 700 ps.
The available versions of XRK32309 are shown in
Table 12, “Ordering Information,” on page 10. The
XRK32309-1 is the base part.

ZERO DELAY AND SKEW CONTROL
In order to achieve Zero Delay between the input reference and the output, all outputs, including FB, must be
equally loaded even when the FB output is not being used.
Being internally connected as the PLL feedback, the FB output's capacitive loading relative to the other
outputs can adjust the input to output delay according to the characteristic shown in Figure 3. This figure
provides a tool for mapping the required delay to the capacitive load difference required between the FB and
the Clock output of interest.
For zero output to output skew, the outputs have to be loaded equally as well.
