SY89538L
3.3V, Precision LVPECL and LVDS
Programmable Multiple Output Bank Clock
Synthesizer and Fanout Buffer with Zero Delay
General Description
The SY89538L integrated programmable clock
synthesizer and fanout is part of a precision PLL-
based clock generation family optimized for
enterprise switch, router, and multiprocessor server
applications. This family is ideal for generating
internal system timing requirements up to 750MHz for
multiple ASICs, FPGAs, and NPUs. These devices
integrate the following blocks into a single monolithic
IC:
Precision Edge®
Features
• Integrated programmable synthesizer with multiple
output dividers, fanout buffers, and clock drivers
• Zero-delay capability: 29.375MHz to 756MHz
• Reference clock input: 9.325MHz to 756MHz

PLL (Phase-Lock-Loop) based synthesizer
Zero-delay MUX and feedback capability
1:4 LVPECL fanout
• Input MUX accepts a reference and a crystal
(XTAL) source
– Ideal for reference backup clock source or
system test frequency source
– Patent-pending unique input MUX isolates XTAL
and reference inputs which minimizes crosstalk
1:3 LVDS fanout
Clock generator (dividers)
• Guaranteed AC performance:
– Output frequency range: 29.375MHz to 756MHz
– <150psPP total jitter
Logic translation (LVPECL, LVDS)
Five-independently programmable output
banks
– <6psRMS cycle-to-cycle jitter (XTAL Input)
– <8psPP deterministic jitter
This level of integration minimizes additive jitter and
part-to-part skew associated with discrete
– <0.7psRMS crosstalk induced jitter
– <75ps output-to-output skew
• TTL/CMOS-compatible control logic
• Five-independently programmable output
frequency banks:
alternatives, resulting in superior system-level timing
with reduced board space and power. For
applications that do not require a zero-delay function,
see the SY89537L.
