Functional Description
The CY7B9910 and CY7B9920 Low Skew Clock Buffers offer
low skew system clock distribution. These multiple output clock
drivers optimize the timing of high performance computer
systems.Eachoftheeightindividualdriverscandriveterminated
transmission lines with impedances as low as 50Ω. They deliver
minimal and specified output skews and full swing logic levels
(CY7B9910 TTL or CY7B9920 CMOS).
The completely integrated PLL enables “zero delay” capability.
External divide capability, combined with the internal PLL, allows
distribution of a low frequency clock that is multiplied by virtually
any factor at the clock destination. This facility minimizes clock
distribution difficulty while allowing maximum system clock
speed and flexibility.
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.
VCO
The VCO accepts analog control inputs from the PLL filter block
and generates a frequency. The operational range of the VCO is
determined by the FS control pin.

Pin Configuration
Test Mode
The TEST input is a three level input. In normal system operation, this pin is connected to ground, allowing the CY7B9910 and
CY7B9920 to operate as described in Block Diagram Description. For testing purposes, any of the three level inputs can have a
removable jumper to ground or be tied LOW through a 100W 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 control all outputs. Relative output-to-output functions are the same as in normal mode.

Notes
1. For all three 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 to be set on FS is determined by the “normal” operating frequency (fNOM) of the VCO (see Logic Block Diagram). 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/X when the device is configured for a
frequency multiplication by using external division in the feedback path of value X.
3. When the FS pin is selected HIGH, the REF input must not transition upon power up until VCC reached 4.3V.

Notes
4. These inputs are normally wired to VCC, GND, or left unconnected (actual threshold voltages vary as a percentage of VCC). Internal termination resistors hold
unconnected inputs at VCC/2. If these inputs are switched, the function and timing of the outputs may glitch and the PLL may require an additional tLOCK time
before all data sheet limits are achieved.
5. Tested one output at a time, output shorted for less than one second, less than 10% duty cycle. Room temperature only. CY7B9920 outputs are not short circuit
protected.
6. Total output current per output pair is approximated by the following expression that includes device current plus load current:
CY7B9910:
ICCN = [(4 + 0.11F) + [((835 – 3F)/Z) + (.0022FC)]N] x 1.1
CY7B9920:
ICCN = [(3.5+.17F) + [((1160 – 2.8F)/Z) + (.0025FC)]N] x 1.1
Where
F = frequency in MHz
C = capacitive load in pF
Z = line impedance in ohms
N = number of loaded outputs; 0, 1, or 2
FC = F < C.

Notes
8. Guaranteed by statistical correlation. Tested initially and after any design or process changes that may affect these parameters.
9. CMOS output buffer current and power dissipation specified at 50 MHz reference frequency.
10.Applies to REF and FB inputs only.
11. Test measurement levels for the CY7B9910 are TTL levels (1.5V to 1.5V). Test measurement levels for the CY7B9920 are CMOS levels (VCC/2 to VCC/2). Test
conditions assume signal transition times of 2ns or less and output loading as shown in the AC Test Loads and Waveforms unless otherwise specified.
12.Except as noted, all CY7B9920–2 and –5 timing parameters are specified to 80 MHz with a 30 pF load.
13.tSKEW is defined as the time between the earliest and the latest output transition among all outputs when all are loaded with 50 pF and terminated with 50Ωto
2.06V (CY7B9910) or VCC/2 (CY7B9920).
14.tSKEW is defined as the skew between outputs.
15.tDEV is the output-to-output skew between any two outputs on separate devices operating under the same conditions (VCC, ambient temperature, air flow, and
so on).
16.tODCV is the deviation of the output from a 50% duty cycle.
17.Specified with outputs loaded with 30 pF for the CY7B99X0–2 and –5 devices and 50 pF for the CY7B99X0–7 devices. Devices are terminated through 50Ωto
2.06V (CY7B9910) or VCC/2 (CY7B9920).
18.tORISE and tOFALL measured between 0.8V and 2.0V for the CY7B9910 or 0.8VCC and 0.2VCC for the CY7B9920.
19.tLOCK is the time that is required before synchronization is achieved. This specification is valid only after VCC is stable and within normal operating limits. This
parameter is measured from the application of a new signal or frequency at REF or FB until tPD is within specified limits.

Operational Mode Descriptions
Figure 2 shows the device configured as a zero skew clock
buffer. In this mode the 7B9910/9920 is used as the basis for a
lowskew clock distribution tree. The outputsarealigned andmay
each drive a terminated transmission line to an independent
load. The FB input is tied to any output and the operating
frequency range is selected with the FS pin. The low skew speci-
fication, coupled with the ability to drive terminated transmission
lines (with impedances as low as 50 ohms), enables efficient
printed circuit board design.
Figure 1 shows the CY7B9910/9920 connected in series to
construct a zero skew clock distribution tree between boards.
Cascaded clock buffers accumulates low frequency jitter
because of the non-ideal filtering characteristics of the PLL filter.
Do not connect more than two clock buffers in series.
