SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNICAL DATA
The MPC9351 is a 2.5V and 3.3V compatible, PLL based clock
generator targeted for high performance clock distribution systems. With
output frequencies of up to 200 MHz and a maximum output skew of 150
ps the MPC9351 is an ideal solution for the most demanding clock tree
designs. The device offers 9 low skew clock outputs, each is configurable
to support the clocking needs of the various high-performance
microprocessors including the PowerQuicc II integrated communication
microprocessor. The extended temperature range of the MPC9351
supports telecommunication and networking requirements.The devices
employs a fully differential PLL design to minimize cycle-to-cycle and
long-term jitter.

Functional Description
The MPC9351 utilizes PLL technology to frequency and phase lock its outputs onto an input reference clock. Normal operation
of the MPC9351 requires a connection of one of the device outputs to the EXT_FB input to close the PLL feedback path. The
reference clock frequency and the output divider for the feedback path determine the VCO frequency. Both must be selected to
match the VCO frequency range. With available output dividers of divide-by-2, divide-by-4 and divide-by-8 the internal VCO of the
MPC9351 is running at either 2x, 4x or 8x of the reference clock frequency. The frequency of the QA, QB, QC and QD outputs is
either the one half, one fourth or one eighth of the selected VCO frequency and can be configured for each output bank using the
FSELA, FSELB, FSELC and FSELD pins, respectively. The available output to input frequency ratios are 4:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 and
1:4. The REF_SEL pin selects the differential LVPECL (PCLK and PCLK) or the LVCMOS compatible reference input (TCLK).
The MPC9351 also provides a static test mode when the PLL enable pin (PLL_EN) is pulled to logic low state. In test mode, the
selected input reference clock is routed directly to the output dividers bypassing the PLL. The test mode is intended for system
diagnostics, test and debug purpose. This test mode is fully static and the minimum clock frequency specification does not apply.
The outputs can be disabled by deasserting the OE pin (logic high state). In PLL mode, deasserting OE causes the PLL to loose
lock due to no feedback signal presence at EXT_FB. Asserting OE will enable the outputs and close the phase locked loop, also
enabling the PLL to recover to normal operation. The MPC9351 is fully 2.5V and 3.3V compatible and requires no external loop
filter components. All inputs except PCLK and PCLK accept LVCMOS signals while the outputs provide LVCMOS compatible
levels with the capability to drive terminated 50
MPC9351 outputs can drive one or two traces giving the devices an effective fanout of 1:18. The device is packaged in a 7x7 mm
32-lead LQFP package.

Application Information
The fully integrated PLL of the MPC9351 allows the low skew outputs to lock onto a clock input and distribute it with essentially
zero propagation delay to multiple components on the board. In zero-delay buffer mode, the PLL minimizes phase offset between
the outputs and the reference signal.
