General Description
Features
The 87973I-147 is a LVCMOS/LVTTL clock generator. The
87973I-147 has three selectable inputs and provides 14
LVCMOS/LVTTL outputs.
• Fully integrated PLL
• Fourteen LVCMOS/LVTTL outputs to include: twelve clocks,
one feedback, one sync
The 87973I-147 is a highly flexible device. The three selectable
inputs (1 differential and 2 single ended inputs) are often used in
systems requiring redundant clock sources. Up to three different
output frequencies can be generated among the three output banks.
• Selectable differential CLK, nCLK inputs or LVCMOS/LVTTL
reference clock inputs
• CLK0, CLK1 can accept the following input levels:
LVCMOS or LVTTL
• CLK, nCLK pair can accept the following differential
The three output banks and feedback output each have their own
output dividers which allows the device to generate a multitude of
different bank frequency ratios and output-to-input frequency ratios.
In addition, 2 outputs in Bank C (QC2, QC3) can be selected to be
inverting or non-inverting. The output frequency range is 10MHz to
150MHz. The input frequency range is 6MHz to 120MHz.
input levels: LVPECL, LVDS, LVHSTL, SSTL, HCSL
• Output frequency range: 10MHz to 150MHz
• VCO range: 240MHz to 500MHz
• Output skew: 200ps (maximum)
• Cycle-to-cycle jitter, (all banks ÷4): 55ps (maximum)
• Full 3.3V supply voltage
The 87973I-147 also has a QSYNC output which can be used for
system synchronization purposes. It monitors Bank A and Bank C
outputs and goes low one period prior to coincident rising edges of
Bank A and Bank C clocks. QSYNC then goes high again when the
coincident rising edges of Bank A and Bank C occur. This feature is
used primarily in applications where Bank A and Bank C are running
at different frequencies, and is particularly useful when they are
running at non-integer multiples of one another.
• -40°C to 85°C ambient operating temperature
• Compatible with PowerPC™and Pentium™Microprocessors
• Available in lead-free packages
• For drop-in replacement use 87973i
Example Applications:
Pin Assignment
1.System Clock generator: Use a 16.66MHz reference clock to
generate eight 33.33MHz copies for PCI and four 100MHz copies
for the CPU or PCI-X.
2.Line Card Multiplier: Multiply differential 62.5MHz from a back
plane to single-ended 125MHz for the line Card ASICs and Gigabit
Ethernet Serdes.
